NEUTRON-EMITTING TRITIATED TARGET HAVING A LAYER CONTAINING TRITIUM AND A PASSIVE SUPPORT WITH AN INTERMEDIATE BARRIER

摘要

A neutron-tritiated target, comprising a layer containing a suitable quantity of tritium and a passive support in which the layer is thick enough to retard deuterons bombarding the target and is applied to the support by way of a thin intermediate barrier, formed of a metal in which hydrogen isotopes diffuse slowly and having a thickness such as to prevent the return of the deuterons from the support to the layer at the same time as the passage of the tritium towards the support.
