Abstract
A compact inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusion neutron
source was developed. Imaging tests using the cylindrical IEC neutron
source were conducted with the indirect imaging plate (IP) method
using dysprosium foil and an imaging plate. An array of

powder contained in a stainless-steel
blade and Cd pins was successfully imaged. To calculate thermal
neutron flux of the device, we tested multiple types of IP and IP
scanners with the indirect IP method to create a calibration curve,
and it was confirmed that dental IP scanners, which are more widely
used than industrial ones, can be applied to the indirect IP
method.
