The detector described is sens tive to neutrons by virtue of a large electrode that is coated with a 0.8 gm/cm/sup 2/ layer of boron, which is sprayed on the electrode in the form of a liquid suspension of fine boron powder. This suspension is dried and fired onto the electrode. The detector has an outside diameter of 52 mm and an overall length of 280 mm. Its sensitivity is 8 x 10/sup -15/ amp/neutron-cm/sup 2/-sec to thermal neutrons with a coating of natural boron. No gamma compensation was employed, but the gamma sensitivity was made small compared to neutron sensitivity by optimal electrode design. The counter was designed for use in regions of high thermal neutron flux (greater than 10/sup 9/ n/ cm/sup 2/-sec). (TTT)
