Poland's NCBJ thermal-to-14 MeV neutron converter is a sole device of its kind operated in the world
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Poland - November 20, 2014 - National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) experts in Poland have designed and developed a continuous-mode source of fast neutrons of energy 14 MeV fed by thermal neutrons produced by the MARIA research reactor in Świerk.
