There is considerable demand in the scientific community for a neutron generator with an output of 105–106 n/s that can be turned on or off, emits fusion neutrons, is self-calibrating, and can offer portable operation [1,2]. This paper will describe how an IEC-based neutron generator could satisfy these demands. Experimental data and modeling is presented for operation to the 105 n/s range. Direct extrapolation of the results indicate that with modest extension of operating parameters operation can be achieved in the 106–107 n/s range; with more aggressive modifications operation in the 108–10 n/s range can be possible.
