) , which has an exceptionally high cross-section for capturing neutrons . Mechanism of Action When a thermal neutron is absorbed by a
gas, which acts as both the neutron-capturing medium and the proportional counting gas [7, 9]. boron counter tube
Used for neutron flux monitoring and safety controls in reactor cores [1]. ) , which has an exceptionally high cross-section
gas tubes because they are non-toxic and more stable in high-temperature or high-gamma radiation environments [1, 3]. Key Applications 3]. Key Applications atom
atom, a nuclear reaction occurs, breaking the atom into two high-energy charged particles: an ( 4Heto the fourth power cap H e ) and a lithium-7 nucleus ( 7Lito the seventh power cap L i
