title: Application of nuclear analytical techniques using long-life sealed-tube neutron generators.
abstract: The new range of sealed-tube neutron generators developed by SODERN appears to be appropriate for the industrial environment. The main characteristics are the high emission stability during the very long lifetime of the tube, flexible pulsed mode capability, safety in operation with no radiation in "off" state, and the easy transportation of equipment. Some applications of the neutron generators, called GENIE, are considered: high-sensitivity measurement of transuranic elements in nuclear waste drums, bulk material analysis for process control, and determination of the airborne pollutants for environmental monitoring.
