FRONTIER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION MODEL 100

The Model 100 series of neutron sources are doubly-encapsulated sources which employ a Model 10 series source as the primary encapsulation. Model 100 series sources have an outside diameter of 0.370/0.371 inches and are available in two lengths, both of which are available with or without a 10-32 threaded stud on one end. The longer length version with the stud is equivalent to the Savannah River SR-CF-100 series capsules. Outer capsule material may be either type 304L stainless steel or Zircalloy-2. Closure is by TIG welding.

Thirty-two versions of the standard length source and thirty-two versions of the shortened source are possible as the result of various combinations of inner and outer capsule materials and orientations, and the presence of or lack of the threaded stud. All sixty-four versions of the Model 100 series are certified by the USDOT as Special Form, and all have been approved for licensing purposes by the USNRC for general uses.

Nominal dimensions for the Frontier Technology Corporation Model 100 and Model 100S sources are shown below:
