Title: A high-sensitivity neutron counter and waste-drum counting with the high-sensitivity neutron instrument

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10159216· OSTI ID:10159216

At Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), a highly sensitive neutron counter was developed that can detect and accurately measure the neutrons from small quantities of plutonium or from other low-level neutron sources. This neutron counter was originally designed to survey waste containers leaving the Plutonium Facility. However, it has proven to be useful in other research applications requiring a high-sensitivity neutron instrument.
