Dmitriev, A B

Boron ionization chambers are used in nuclear reactor control and protective systemns to measure the intensity of slow neutron fluxes. The ionization current in the chamber resulting from the B/sup 10/(n, alpha )Li/sup 7/ reaction is the measure of the neutron flux intensity. The various instruments described fall into two groups: working chambers serving to control reactors within the nominal power measurement range and triggering chambers operating as the reactor power rises from zero to nominal.
