I only have (at the moment) the need for the mentioned "Poor man counter" :) I am aware BC400 is not the final solution for neuts counting, but I'd like to make it my starting point, since I have no other ways to go. I initially will operate the fusor near 15Kv, so I hope Gammas will be blocked with that lead layer we are talking about. That day is far again, but I am working on all the sides for acquiring parts and skills necessary for the fusor job.
One day I will have to buy Deuterium and BC400 will be the easier and bore affordable way for me. I think I'll get it from Don Orie. Paying lots of taxes and a long UPS trip. Nuclear surplus is not available here. Ebay is too much risk. The only way is to start from a point and keep scavenging for parts. Ask, ask, and ask again. This is the way I find my better parts... If I come across some nuclear good stuff it will be the miracle come true :)
Obviously I have to buy something too ! he he he...
ciao Daniele
