CALIBRATION OF 1 cm$sup 2$ GOLD FOILS WITH ORNL STANDARD GRAPHITE PILE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4052646

A combination of 1 cm/sup 2/ gold foils and a counter was calibrated so that they could be used to measure absolute thermal neutron fluxes. Both bare and cadmium-shielded gold foils were irradiated in the ORNL standard graphite pile for periods of one week each. The counting instruments used were three gas- flow 2 pi proportional units. Each counter was checked daily against a standard RaD + E source. The calculated saturation counting rate based on the average values from the three instruments is given. (M.C.G.)
