High Gamma Flux Fission Counter

Optimum Performance

In all applications, the inherent low sensitivity (0.14 cps/nv in 0 R/hr) must be weighed against the advantage of satisfactory performance in a high gamma environment. Performance is greatly dependent on associated electronics when operating in this environment. The Reuter Stokes fission counter offered by GE incorporates smart construction and high count-rate electronics that result in optimum performance in a high gamma flux.

  

Features and Benefits

Our fission counter (RS-P6-0805-134) operates in high gamma flux application (less than 106 R/hr). Due to the high neutron-to-gamma signal ratio in these applications, the large fission pulses permit discrimination against gamma pulses and pulse pile-up. Our fission counter is constructed of aluminum alloy for minimum neutron absorption and residual activity. All seals are ceramic-to-metal and insulators are high-purity alumina.

Custom Designs

This proportional counter is one sample of the more than 10,000 neutron counter designs we have developed. Please contact us if your application requires modification of the specifications.
