A neutron survey meter with a ZnS(Ag) scintillator to measure recoil protons was built. The detection probe weighs ~2 kg, therefore providing us with true portability. Performance tests exhibited satisfactory neutron dosimetry characteristics in unmoderated or lightly moderated fission neutron fields and in particular work environments at a mixed oxide fuel facility. This new survey meter will augment a routine of neutron monitoring that is inconveniently being carried out by moderator-based neutron survey meters.
制造了一种带有ZnS(Ag)闪烁体的用于测量反冲质子的中子测量仪。探测探头重约2千克，因此具备真正的便携性。性能测试表明，在未慢化或轻度慢化的裂变中子场以及混合氧化物燃料设施的特定工作环境中，该测量仪具有令人满意的中子剂量学特性。这种新型测量仪将完善目前基于慢化剂的中子测量仪所不便执行的中子监测常规工作。
