description National Bureau of Standards (NBS) participation in an International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) sponsored neutron flux intercomparison is described. The efficiencies of two transfer instruments, a gas-filled 3 He proportional counter and a BF 3 counter imbedded in a polyethylene sphere, were determined at neutron energies of 250 keV and 560 keV. The efficiency of the 3 He detector was determined by placing it in the flux monitored by the NBS “black” detector. Since the polyethylene sphere detector shadows the “black” detector, a secondary BF 3 counter was calibrated and it normalized the sphere and “black” detector runs. The efficiencies are reported and compared to the quantities determined at other participating standards laboratories.
