For the detection of nuclear radiation, ionization chambers, counting tubes, and scintillation counters are today used almost exclusively. The construction and modes of operation of ionization chambers and counting tubes are considered. Whlle ionization chambers are good detectors at high radiation intensities, it is the reverse with counting tubes, that is, they are chiefly used for single pulse counting. For technical measurement data the tube counter can be operated in either the quenching or proportional range. By means of coating the ionization chamber walls with boron or filling the counting tubes with boron trifluoride, both detectors can be adapted for measurements of neutrons. (tr-auth)
