Neutron generator seems to be a partial duplicate of neutron source. As the neutron source article is both more complete and more in keeping with style guidelines, I suggest redirecting neutron source here. --Christopher Thomas 18:48, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
I disagree. The generic neutron source page is fine for presenting a jumping off point for the many different types of neutron sources but unique pages should still exist to provide greater detail into these technologies. In deed, your merging of the neutron generator page simply deleted the content developed for that page and redirected users to the neutron soruce page - which in my opinion provided a somewhat misleading definition of these devices. Demonstrating the need for more technically detailed pages, for example, review the plasma pinch neutron source (a.k.a. fusor). A significant level of work has been devoted to exploring this techology and documenting it in these pages which, if merged into neutron sources (and not subsequently deleted as was done with neutron generators) would provide an unbalanced survey of the subject. The neutron generator page does not yet have this level of detail but it may some day. Dr. Science 02 December 2005
[edit] Photofission
I don't know too much about this process, but the title was already there without any text, so I added a couple of lines on it - I'm sure someone more informed can tidy/add more here Rtcoles 16:16, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
