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.
