The device is capable of reaching an energy potential of -92kV. It can generate a neutron yield of up to 10<sup>7</sup> neutrons per second by deuterium fusion. The primary objective of this program is to propel the advancement of portable and handheld neutron sources, characterized by both linear and spherical geometries.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.cppipr.res.in/iecf.html | title=Centre of Plasma Physics }}</ref>
