  • Device for online measurement of a flow of fast and epithermal neutrons
    Patent number: 8735804
    Abstract: A device for online measurement of a flow of fast and epithermal neutrons. The device has a fast and epithermal neutron detector (DNR) able to detect principally fast and epithermal neutrons; a thermal neutron detector (DNT) able to detect principally thermal neutrons; a first circuit (C1) for processing the signal delivered by the fast neutron detector; a second circuit (C2) for processing the signal delivered by the thermal neutron detector; a means (CE, PMM) suitable for determining the progressive sensitivity to the fast neutrons and to the thermal neutrons of each of the neutron detectors, and a computer (CALC) which computes the flow of fast and epithermal neutrons on the basis of the said progressive sensitivities and of the signals delivered by the first and second processing circuits.
