Use of Boron Neutron Counters in Stationary Radiation Monitors at the All-Russia Research Institute of Automatics

The results of research on the possibility of replacing in neutron radiation monitors in helium counters by their analog with a solid boron coating are presented. It is shown that under 3 He deficit conditions such a replacement is not only possible but it can improve the performance of the monitors...

Description
Summary:The results of research on the possibility of replacing in neutron radiation monitors in helium counters by their analog with a solid boron coating are presented. It is shown that under 3 He deficit conditions such a replacement is not only possible but it can improve the performance of the monitors and lower their cost.
