Abstract

The results of a study dealing with detection of neutrons in thermoluminescent (TL) photon radiation detectors, type TLD-500, based on an anion-defective corundum have been reported. The detection method uses the transformation of neutron radiation into gamma radiation arising when neutrons are captured by cadmium nuclei. A comparative analysis of the data obtained with the TL detectors and results of radiometric measurements suggested applicability of this method. A sensor with an optimal embodiment providing a relatively high sensitivity has been developed.
