SODERN
NEUTRON GENERATOR
GENIE 16
The GENIE 16 is a neutron generator that has
been specially designed for material analysis.
The GENIE 16 offers a variety of
advantages:
Its reliability and its user-friendliness added to other
electric neutron source advantages make this neutron
generator very attractive compared with conventional
isotopic source.
Easy to use:
Remotely controlled
with user friendly software
This neutron generator draws on Sodern’s extensive
experience in manufacturing reliable sealed neutron
tubes for industrial applications.
Its high energy, neutron-pulsed emission and
reliability makes the GENIE 16 suitable for a wide
range of uses:
► Neutron analysis for scientific education
► Neutron analysis for research
► Industrial on line analysis
Reliability:
Suitable for full-time operation
& advanced design for easy
industrial system integration
Unsurpassed tube life
Up to 8000 working hours insuring
low cost operation
Safety:
No radiation in the off position,
Safety loops
All components, assemblies and systems are designed,
Built or integrated in-house and are subject to the world’s
Highest standards of testing and quality insurance.
Technical specifications
The GENIE 16 features the SODILOG sealed tube, which is well known for its
extended lifetime at 108 neutrons/s. Such tube have been used for a number of
years in the oil logging industry and more recently in the Controlled Neutron
Analyser which is the first industrial on-line analyser to use a neutron sealed
tube as neutron source.
The GENIE 16 Neutron Emitting Module is a stainless steel probe filled with
insulating SF6 gas.
