DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS OF A SENSITIVE BF$sub 3$ FILLED UNCOMPENSATED IONIZATION CHAMBER

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4818671
Information and data pertaining to twenty-two chambers recentiy received by the Critical Experiments Unit are presented. The thermal neutron response of the chambers was obtained experimentally and analytically. Test results of amperes obtained at various voltages were compared to calculated results. At the operating voltage of the chambers, the calculations gave results higher (as expected) by about 5%. Techniques in generation of enriched BF/sub 3/ gas are also given. (auth)
