2018-11-14

Recently, Xi'an Guaneng Neutron Detection Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Hengtai Aipu Group Xi'an Aohua Electronic Instrument Co., Ltd., jointly established by Xijing University and Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology, Shaanxi Province Controllable Neutron Source Engineering Technology Research Center It was officially put into operation. The center is a provincial research center approved by the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Science and Technology, and it is also the first domestic research center focusing on controllable neutron sources and their applications. The high-temperature long-life small-diameter neutron tube developed by the center has reached the domestic leading level through scientific and technological innovation and achievement appraisal. In the next three to five years, the center will be committed to the development of new neutron generators and other excitation sources.
