Positive-Ion Bombardment<br />

<strong>Neutron</strong>s can be readily obtained from the action of energetic positive ions<br />

such as protons or alpha particles on light materials such as deuterium 2 1 H,<br />

tritium 3 1H, beryllium Be, lithiumLi or boron B. The source of positive ions can<br />

be either:<br />

■ a radioactive isotope or<br />

■ a particle accelerator.<br />
