A neutron beam source generation method applied to a neutron beam source generation system, wherein the neutron beam source generation system comprises an accelerator, a target, and a calibration module, and the neutron beam source generation method comprises:

• generating a proton beam that is transmitted in a first direction along a channel using the accelerator;
• measuring the proton beam using a current-measuring component of the calibration module to obtain a first current value;
• measuring the proton beam using a Faraday cup component of the calibration module to obtain a second current value;
• adjusting a current of the proton beam according to the first current value, the second current value, or both;
• measuring the proton beam using a profile-measuring component of the calibration module to obtain a profile distribution;
• adjusting a distribution of the proton beam in a second direction and in a third direction according to the profile distribution using a pair of electromagnet components of the calibration module;
• and
• when the first current value, the second current value, and the profile distribution all meet preset values, removing the Faraday cup component of the calibration module so that the proton beam irradiates the target to generate a neutron beam source.
