Neutron Area Monitor

Wall-mounted neutron detector (Ludlum 42-30H) for area monitoring in WebiSmarts

Wall-mounted proportional neutron detector for area monitoring, supplied by Rotem for its systems. The detector is a Ludlum Model 42-30H in a 25.4 cm polyethylene sphere and detects thermal and fast neutrons, from 0.025 eV to approximately 12 MeV, through nuclear reactions that produce charged particles.
