Design Parameters and Test Results for a Fission Counter Intended for Operation up to 750°F at High Gamma Dose Rates

A fission counter was built and successfully tested for operation at 750°F and gamma dose rates up to 6 × 106 R/hr. Results from gamma and neutron tests were compared with theoretical predictions and used to optimize the performance of the counters.
