Semiconductor Detectors for Neutron Field Investigation

Small semiconductor gauges 2-4 mm in diameter wish radiators made of fissile materials 6Li, 10B, 235U, were produced for investigation of neutron fields in critical assemblies. Small dimensions of the devices ensure the distortion in neutron fields in critical assemblies and experimental channels of reactors to be practically avoided. Radiation resistance of semiconductor detectors of various types to fission fragments was determined.
