Abstract :
It is shown that in the circular magnetic system for nuclei of hydrogen isotopes of energies between 20 and 80 KeV/nucl can provide the damping of both betatron and synchrotron oscillations. A variant of the magnetic lattice of a triton storage ring with a beam energy of 135 keV is proposed. The main parameters of a stored triton beam (energy spread, amplitude of betatron oscillations, lifetime, etc.) are calculated. It is proposed to use the triton storage ring for generation of neutrons in the reaction D(t,n)4He close to the maximum of the cross section. The integrated intensity and specific power inputs of this source of neutrons is estimated
