ABSTRACT:
A neutron particle measuring apparatus includes a neutron converter to generate alpha rays in response to incidence of neutron, a scintillator to receive as input the alpha rays generated from the neutron converter so as to emit and transmit scintillation, two photoreceptive portions to receive the scintillation through different transmitting paths, and a signal processing portion to measure a neutron distribution depending upon times at which the scintillation can reach the photoreceptive portions according to a time-of-flight method. The single particle measuring apparatus can be used to measure the neutron distribution in the vicinity of a nuclear reactor in a nuclear power plant.
