Neutron flux measurement in nuclear reactors
Creators
Description
Different methods have been reviewed for the neutron detection and reactor neutron flux measurement. Nuclear reactions of interest in neutron detection are presented. Reactor instrumentation and modes of operation are discussed together with the in-core detectors. Special interest is devoted to fission chambers, miniature ionization chambers, self-powered detectors and activation analysis. A special in-core monitoring system referred to as the computerized aeroball system is hinted at. Some methods for the fast neutron detection are mentioned with emphasis on the threshold detectors. Finally, conclusions and recent development are reviewed. 6 fig., 1 tab
