Abstract	Flux measurement of an accelerator based D-T neutron generator was achieved by the activation technique. The neutron generator can produce maximum neutron yield of 1.9 × $10^{10}$ n/sec at the Tritium-target. For the measurement of 14 MeV neutron flux, $^{63}Cu(n,$ $2n)^{62}Cu$ and $^{27}Al(n,$ $p)^{27}Mg$ reactions are most suitable because of their higher threshold energies 11.03 MeV and 3.25 MeV respectively. Measurement of γ-ray activities from $^{62}Cu$ and $^{27}Mg$ is used to measure 14 MeV neutron flux. NaI(Tl) scintillation and High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors were used for the γ-radiation measurement from $^{62}Cu$ and $^{27}Mg$ respectively. In this paper the 14 MeV neutron flux measurement by $^{63}Cu$ and $^{27}Al$ activation is discussed. The method could also serve as a diagnostics tool for measurement of high-energy neutron flux.
