A HIGH-SENSITIVITY NEUTRON AND GAMMA-RADIATION RADIOMETER OF THE VRNG-2 TYPE (VYSOKOCHUVSTVITELNYI RADIOMETR NEITRONOV I GAMMA-IZLUCHENIYA TIPA VRNG-2),

Abstract

A universal radiometer for fast, intermediate, and slow n and gamma-radiation is described; it can measure fast-n fluxes in the range 0.03 - 3000 n/sq cm sec. and gamma-radiation in the range of 0.05 - 800 micro-r/sec with relatively high accuracy. The n detector is a ZnS(Ag) scintillator with H3BO3 added (85% 10B). It can be equipped with an organic glass moderator (in the case of fast n) and Cd shield. Gamma-radiation is detected by using a standard gamma-counter. (Author)
