 note = {Neutrons were discovered for the first time by Chadwick in 1932 [1]. Since that time, neutrons have been intensively used in wide-scale applications, such as medicine, biology, material science, radiography, explosive detection, nuclear security, power generations, …etc. The type of applications depends strongly on the neutron source characteristics, such as source size, safety, handling method, and the neutron flux. We are developing the first of its kind portable and an ultra-compact neutron source based on the inertial electrostatic confinement fusion (IECF) device for multidisciplinary applications in Kyoto University [2]. In the IECF device, the neutrons are generated from the fusion combustion of deuterium–deuterium (D-D), or deuterium-tritium (D-T) fuels. The neutron production rate from the portable IECF system operated using DD fule, so far, is 1x108 neutron/sec by applying only 5.5 kW power to the system. The IECF device characterizations, the principle of operation and the on-going applications in nuclear security, boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), and radiography applications will be presented and discussed in the conference., 12th International Conference on Nuclear Sciences and Application},
