Drawing on 40 years of experience in designing and manufacturing neutron generation technologies, EADS SODERN is the world’s specialist in supplying neutron generators for research as well as neutron material analysers for industry.

With three versatile neutron generators off-the-shelf, we cover a wide range of uses. If you have specific needs or applications, our neutronics team can customize our neutron generators to meet every one of your requirements.

Besides, the SODERN neutron generator offers commercial quality unavailable anywhere else and only SODERN builds neutron generators on a production basis. Annual tube production capacity exceeds three hundred.

Our neutron generators are currently used for explosive material detection, chemical weapon identification, land mine inspection, narcotics detection, nuclear material detection, etc.

Some of our clients are the BNFL, CEA, COGEMA, ANCORE, INEEL, JAERI, etc.

iso 9001 2000 version & CE Standard

In order to attest its capacity with managing the quality, SODERN decided to be certified according to the standard ISO 9001 in addition to the RAQ1, which SODERN has had without interruption since 1982. The BVQI thus delivered to SODERN its first certification ISO 9001, version 1994, on October 8, 1998 and the certification ISO 9001, version 2000, since January 18, 2002.

The neutron generators meet EU standards.
