Nuclear fuel is capable of producing and sustaining heat energy through nuclear fission. Since nuclear fuel has a finite amount of energy generation ability and remains hazardous even after it’s used, it is […] The Neutron Shielding Power of Water-Extended Polyester (WEP) Resin November 1, 2021 5:47 pm Leave a Comment At Frontier Technology Corporation (FTC), one of our core specialties is neutron shielding. We offer cutting-edge protective shipping containers for radioactive materials and other essential technologies for handling hazardous neutron sources such as californium-252 (Cf-252). Water Extended Polyester (WEP) resin encases materials and creates a strong, effective barrier around the material to protect anyone nearby […] 3 Reasons Why Nuclear Power is a Clean Energy Source 2:58 pm Leave a Comment Public awareness of clean and sustainable sources of energy has grown significantly, particularly in recent years, as focus sharpens on lessening the impacts of climate change. However, while solar, wind, and hydroelectric power are commonly discussed, nuclear power is often left out of the conversation. Nuclear power plants are the largest source of emission-free energy […] How Is Californium-252 Used in Homeland Security? October 29, 2021 6:08 pm Leave a Comment Californium-252 (Cf-252) is a lab-created, radioactive chemical isotope synthesized by bombarding curium with alpha particles. This synthetic material is a pure metal and is used for a range of applications from the creation of new elements to treating certain cancers, but one of its most prominent uses is in homeland security. Cf-252 plays a critical role […] Get to Know Us: About Frontier Technology Corporation 5:11 pm Leave a Comment Frontier Technology Corporation (FTC) is one of the few suppliers of californium-252 neutron sources in the world. Our decades of experience and commitment to excellence in manufacturing and logistics have led us to become radioactive material industry world leaders. In this blog, we’ll discuss our company in more detail and what sets us apart from […] All About Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Methods and Neutron Radiography October 1, 2021 5:23 pm Leave a Comment Frontier Technology Corporation (FTC) is a premier manufacturer of californium-252 (Cf-252), an element capable of releasing 170 million neutrons per minute. This makes Cf-252 well-suited for use in neutron-based scanning and analysis processes, such as neutron radiography. Neutron radiography (NR) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method, meaning it is used to safely analyze the properties […] Why Are NIST Standards Important for Neutron Sources? 4:48 pm Leave a Comment At Frontier Technology Corporation (FTC), we are dedicated to providing safe and reliable californium-252 (Cf-252) neutron sources to customers around the world. For this reason, all of our neutron sources are NIST traceable. The following article discusses what NIST standards are and why they are important when searching for a neutron source supplier. What Is […] All About Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA): What It Is & How it Works 4:26 pm Leave a Comment At Frontier Technology Corporation (FTC), we are a leading supplier of californium-252 (Cf-252) neutron sources. Californium-252 is renowned in the nuclear, oil & petrochemical, military & defense, and research industries for its very strong neutron-emitting properties, and it is commonly used in nuclear reactors and materials scanning and analysis equipment. Neutron activation analysis (NAA) is […] Types of Radioactive Shipping Containers November 12, 2020 10:04 pm Leave a Comment Radioactive material releases harmful radioactive emissions that can be dangerous if not properly encapsulated and handled. Radioactive containers are used to safely contain these radioactive materials, shielding the surrounding environment (and personnel) from radiation exposure. At Frontier Technology Corporation, we design and create radioactive shipping containers that can hold californium-252 and other neutron sources (with […] Californium-252 vs. Neutron Generators: What are the Differences? October 28, 2020 1:58 pm Leave a Comment Many industries require powerful neutron sources for fuel and data analysis. As its name suggests, a neutron source is any device that releases neutrons, including radioactive isotopes such as californium-252 (Cf-252), particle accelerators, and sealed-tube neutron generators. They are used for analytical and exploratory operations in physics, medicine, biology, chemistry, and nuclear power production, among […] Tags: californium, californium-252, Cf-252, neutron generators Page 1 of 212» Recent Posts Spent Nuclear Fuel: What You Need to Know The Neutron Shielding Power of Water-Extended Polyester (WEP) Resin 3 Reasons Why Nuclear Power is a Clean Energy Source How Is Californium-252 Used in Homeland Security?
