2. Neutron generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_generator

   This is the case in many sealed tube neutron generators. However, in cases when it is desired to deliver the maximum flux to a sample, it is desirable to operate the neutron tube with the target grounded and the source floating at high (positive) potential. The accelerator voltage is normally between 80 and 180 kilovolts.

3. Radioisotope thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

   Diagram of an RTG used on the Cassini probe. A radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG, RITEG), sometimes referred to as a radioisotope power system (RPS), is a type of nuclear battery that uses an array of thermocouples to convert the heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material into electricity by the Seebeck effect.

4. Atomic battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_battery

   These micro-batteries are very light and deliver enough energy to function as power supply for use in MEMS devices and further for supply for nanodevices. [32] The radiation energy released is transformed into electric energy, which is restricted to the area of the device that contains the processor and the micro-battery that supplies it with ...

5. List of vacuum tubes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vacuum_tubes

   A compactron used in television sets to supply power to the anode of the picture tube. This tube is very rare, and very special, because it implements an indirectly heated cathode, not connected to the filament. No data is found on this tube, except for the filament power (which is 3.6 volts, 0.225 amps) and the base (which is the 12GQ type).

6. Use of HDPE in nuclear power plant piping systems - Wikipedia

   The use of HDPE in U.S. nuclear power plants is currently limited to PE4710 material since this was the material first identified in Code Case N-755 and approved by the U.S. NRC. Code Case N-755 and the 2015 Edition of ASME B&PV Code, Section III, Appendix XXVI are limited to butt fusion (i.e. hot plate welding) only.

7. Neutron source - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_source

   Some isotopes undergo spontaneous fission (SF) with emission of neutrons.The most common spontaneous fission source is the isotope californium-252. 252 Cf and all other SF neutron sources are made by irradiating uranium or a transuranic element in a nuclear reactor, where neutrons are absorbed in the starting material and its subsequent reaction products, transmuting the starting material into ...
