Abstract
A neutron sealed source holds cermet wire sources, such as Californium-252/Palladium wires, in separate blind apertures within a stainless steel block. The stainless steel block is part of an inner encapsulation and includes blind apertures arranged in rotational symmetry for receiving the cermet wire sources. The cermet wire sources are separated from each other and the fission and decay heat is rejected through the stainless steel block.
