Monte Carlo simulation-aided design of a thermal neutron generator system from 241Am-Be isotopic sources

Collimated thermal neutron beams are obtained from neutron extraction channels in nuclear reactors for various applications in research and technology, such as neutron imaging techniques (neutron radiography, neutron radioscopy, neutron tomography, and neutron-based autoradiography). Practical setu...
