Abstract
We developed and tested a simple prototype of thermal neutron detector suitable for inexpensive deployment in the decommissioning and storage of radioactive waste, as well as for mapping the flux in the out-of-core regions of fission reactors. Though the prototype version we tested provides the neutron rate by subtracting the gamma background measured with a twin detector insensitive to neutrons, a simple geometrical improvement can strongly reduce the gamma contribution.
