Hi All, Here in Australia any sort of surplus instrumentation is almost nonexistent...heck we only have one reactor and thats mainly for medical isotopes. Richard, would i get anywhere with a scintillator crystal window and a photomultiplier tube driving a meter?. I have even heard of scintillator liquids but i don't think for fast neutron detection. I thought it would be a relatively simple device but how efficient are those types of detectors???.
