Title: Innovations of Shuhei Kuri
Introduction
Shuhei Kuri is a notable inventor based in Kobe, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of neutron measurement and control, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of neutron monitoring devices and irradiation apparatuses.
Latest Patents
One of Kuri's latest patents is a neutron monitor device and neutron measurement method. This invention simplifies the measurement of neutron intensity in the energy range of 10 KeV to several hundred KeV. The device features a first detector with a hemispherical body made of polyethylene (PE) and a radius of 31 mm, containing a gallium nitride (GaN) specimen at its center. It also includes a cadmium (Cd) layer on the outer surface and a boron (B) layer inside the body. Additionally, a second detector mirrors this design but has a radius of 27 mm.
Another significant patent is the neutron control device and neutron irradiation apparatus. This apparatus incorporates an introduction tube for a proton beam and a target structure at the lower end of the tube. Below the target structure, an aluminum fluoride layer is positioned in the neutron irradiation path, along with a heavy water layer beneath it. This combination allows for the moderation of neutrons and increases the flux of epithermal neutrons without excessive thickness.
