Abstract
A neutron activator includes a neutron source and a reflector-moderator. The neutron source has a housing extending along a longitudinal axis (B). A metallic target as part of the neutron source is provided to produce neutrons through the interaction with a proton beam, the metallic target having a plurality of plates arranged transversally with respect to the longitudinal axis (B). The neutron source also includes a cooling circuit to cool the metallic target. The reflector-moderator has an activation area configured to accommodate the neutron source and the material to be activated.
