Bertin Nuclear - Model NI-07 -Neutron Irradiator

The NI‑07 Neutron Irradiator serves as a reference neutron field generator, making it an essential component in laboratories responsible for the calibration and verification of neutron detection equipment. It is frequently used in facilities that test neutron dose meters, neutron survey meters, and dosimetric instruments operating in complex radiation environments.

At the core of the system is a motorized carousel that can store up to seven different neutron sources. A vertical lifting mechanism positions the selected source into the irradiation zone with high precision. Surrounding the central mechanism is a multi‑layer shielding assembly composed of materials such as polyethylene, borated polyethylene, iron, and lead, ensuring effective attenuation of both neutron and gamma radiation.

Operation is managed via a dedicated control box, allowing operators to run exposures, select sources, and supervise the system remotely, while maintaining strict safety conditions.

• Holds up to seven sealed neutron sources, with optional gamma sources for mixed‑field calibration
• Fully automated exposure process for safe, repeatable, and hands‑off operation
• Advanced multi‑layer shielding for reduced stray radiation and enhanced operator protection
• Integrated safety systems ensuring compliance with strict radiological protection requirements
