ABSTRACT:
An improved thermal neutron flux detector and measuring apparatus of the neutron induced transmutation type. The disclosed apparatus employs a plastic film electret and a fissionable material such as uranium-235 for generating energetic ion fission fragments-fragments which alter the electric potential of the electret in a measurable manner. Electret characteristics and fissionable material member fabrication are also disclosed along with uses of the instrument for dosimetry and other purposes.
