Boron Ion Chambers

Boron Ion Chambers Boron ion chambers are generally used in reactor control instrumentation for measurement of neutron flux. When designed with gamma compensation, they are ideally suited for the high mixed fluxes found near a reactor, being the only detectors, which are capable of discriminating against gamma fluxes in these environments.
