The invention relates to a directional wide-energy-range
neutron monitor probe, which is suitable for directional
neutron place monitoring and metering transmission of high-energy accelerators and reactors. The probe includes a
detector sensitive to thermal neutrons (1), an inner-layer moderator (2), a propagation layer (3), a reflecting layer (4), an absorber (5), an outer-layer moderator (6), a
cadmium cap (7), an outer
package (8), and a unidirectional
plane of incidence (9). A
neutron monitor adopted by the invention helps to solve the problems about on-
site monitoring and magnitude transmission of high-energy and wide-spectrum
neutron radiation fields. The neutron monitor probe is designed in a directional and moderated manner. Fissionable
metal materials are embedded into the moderators, so a (n, f)
fission reaction is utilized to widen the measuring range of
high energy neutrons.
Neutron reflective materials are embedded into the moderators, so
angular response and energy response can be improved. The directional wide-energy-range neutron monitor probe has the characteristics of novel structure, wide monitored neutron energy range, good
angular response feature and the like.
