A modulated neutron initiator is a type of device used to produce neutrons, typically in nuclear weapons or nuclear reactors, by using a modulation technique to enhance the neutron output. These initiators play a crucial role in starting nuclear reactions by providing a burst of neutrons at precisely the right moment, ensuring that the chain reaction can be sustained effectively.
