The BF3 proportional counters are designed for detection and measurement of the thermal neutrons outside the reactor core for neutron dose rate monitoring and neutron flux monitoring in the pulse range. The netron sensitivity of these proportional counters is achieved by filling the tube with the gas boron-tri-fluorid, made of highly enriched Boron-10. This technology is designed for operational process monitoring.
Detection of thermal neutrons. High sensitivity due to filling with enriched BF3 gas. Proven construction. Large measuring range. Very low gamma sensitivity.
