A 14 MeV neutron generator described in this paper. Neutrons are produced in D-T, D-D, T-T reactions. The production of 14 MeV neutrons from DD neutrons generator resulting from tritium build up from d(d, p)t reaction in the target under 30mA, 300 KeV deuteron beam, bombarding a water-cooled, rotating target, size of beam spot on target is 1.8 cm is obtained. An estimate of the capital cost 14 MeV neutron generators for radioisotope production.
