In response to the global shortage of Helium-3 gas, various alternative technologies have been developed for the detection of neutrons. Boron-10 (B-10) lined proportional counters represent one alternative that has been developed by GE Reuter-Stokes and deployed in applications such as Radiation Portal Monitors. The formulation of the B-10 coating used in these detectors was designed to maximize the...
Previous studies have reported the results of optimization of coating thickness for individual Boron-10 (B-10) lined proportional counters and radiation portal monitor neutron detection modules (NDM) containing multiple B-10 lined proportional counters in order to maximize neutron detection efficiency. In this work, we report on the extension of these investigations into the optimization of systems...
Historically Helium-3 based neutron detectors have been utilized for many applications including Radiation Portal Monitors and various Nuclear Safeguard applications. With the reduced amount of Helium-3 available alternative technologies are being evaluated and employed for use in these applications. In this study, the performance of Boron-10 lined proportional counters is evaluated experimentally...
