OSTI ID:6558936
This patent describes a nuclear radiation detector system. It comprises: a first set of optical fibers; a second set of optical fibers; a first predetermined section of each of the fibers in the first set arranged side by side in a common plane to form a first linear array; a first predetermined section of each of the fibers in the second set arranged side by side in a common plane to form a second linear array. The first and second linear arrays being arranged orthogonally to define a matrix of rows and columns of fibers for sensing the presence of a nuclear particle and converting the nuclear radiation energy thereof to optical energy; a second predetermined section of each of the fibers in the first set arranged in a bundle to form a first planar array; a second predetermined section of each of the fibers in the second set arranged in a bundle to form a second planar array; and detector means coupled to the first and second planar arrays for measuring the optical energy output thereof to determine the location of the sensed nuclear particle.
