Abstract A detailed description of neutron production by the1H(t, n)3He source reaction is given. The corresponding angular-dependent yields and spectra are calculated for an incident triton energy of 21 MeV and a thick (totally absorbing) hydrogen target. Since this reaction is proposed for alternative consideration to present concepts of d-lithium fusion materials test facilities, the angular and spectral yields, and the volume-dependent fluxes in a test cell are compared with the equivalent quantities achievable from such facilities involving 35-MeV deuterons incident on thick natural lithium targets.
