Description

To increase the reliability of the criticality monitoring system in a diagnostic chemistry area and to reduce the number of false alarms, a new monitoring system was built using a fast-neutron detector. This paper outlines the design requirements, describes the system as it was built, and reports on the results of several months of operation. The new monitor has proven much more useful than the gamma-detector system it replaced
