SYSTEM AND METHODOLOGY UTILIZING A GETTER BASED STORAGE SYSTEM

摘要

A technique may be employed to facilitate manufacturing/processing of generator tubes for use in a variety of logging applications. A getter-based gas storage chamber is provided with a getter able to adsorb a desired gas such as a deuterium and/or tritium gas. The getter-based gas storage chamber may be connected with a neutron tube via a gas flow network and a releasable coupling. The gas, e.g. deuterium and/or tritium gas, is released by heating the getter. The gas is allowed to flow through the gas flow network and into the neutron tube.

1. A system, comprising:
a getter-based storage chamber containing a getter, the getter-based storage chamber being configured to store and release at least one of deuterium and tritium; a neutron tube; a manifold coupled to the neutron tube; a flow network coupled between the manifold and the getter-based storage chamber to enable flow of gas between the getter-based storage chamber and the manifold; and a releasable coupling positioned between the manifold and the getter-based storage chamber to enable disconnection of the getter-based storage chamber.
