Employed at border crossings to detect the illicit transport of nuclear materials [20].
These reaction products ionize the gas inside the tube, creating an electrical pulse that can be measured to count neutron events [20, 34]. Types of Boron Counters These tubes are filled with BF3cap B cap F sub 3
gas tubes because they are non-toxic and more stable in high-temperature or high-gamma radiation environments [1, 3]. Key Applications
