 note = {The inertial electrostatic coninement fusion (IECF) is a method for producing nuclear fusion in which ions are confined inside concentric electrodes [1]. Our group has been developing and operating spherical IECF neutron generators for basic research and applications for more than two decades. The present work focuses on the characterization and the prospective applications of the recently developed ultra-compact neutron generator based on IECF device. The cathode and anode of the IECF device are made of molybdenum and titanium in 6 and 17 cm diameters, respectively. The gross weight and hight of the system are 35 kg and 70 cm, respectively [2]. The D-D fusion reaction takes place in the IECF device is used for neutrons production. So far, the neutron yield from the system is 9x107 n/s by applying 5.25 kW (75 kV and 70 mA) [3]. Multedisplanary applications utilizing the IECF neutron generator, such as detection of special nuclear materials, quantitative analises of B-10 for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), X-ray and neutrons imaging for radiography are proposed. Preliminary experiments using the neutron generator for those applications are conducted. The dependence of the IECF neutron yield on the applied voltage, current, and deuterium gas pressure will be presented. Also, the prospective applications of the ultra-compact neutron source and the preliminary results will
be discussed in the conference., The 28th International Toki Conference on Plasma and Fusion Research},
