Abstract

See full text

A neutron detector with a unique neutron detecting element is disclosed. The neutron detecting element has an inner cylindrical neutron scintillator where a neutron detection body including a ZnS phosphor, and a neutron converter material which contains 6Li or 10B is arranged outside of the cylindrical substrate; a scintillator fluorescence detection body made by placing coiled wavelength shift fibers where two wavelength shift fibers are wound in parallel along the cylindrical substrate on said inner cylindrical neutron scintillator; and an outer cylindrical neutron scintillator where a neutron detection body is arranged inside of the cylindrical substrate, the outer cylindrical neutron scintillator being arranged on the scintillator fluorescence detection body. The fluorescence signals converted into pulse signals by two optical detectors are led to a coincidence circuit, and when two fluorescence signals are measured simultaneously during the predetermined period of time, a neutron signal is output.
