Detectors Available

My father-in-law, a senior researcher at the Institute of Energy Problems
of Chemical Physics of the Academy of Sciences of The Russian Federation,
has invented two devices that the Academy of Sciences can no longer afford
to develop. Please help me determine any level of interest here in the US
for developing the devices further.



Emergency Detector for thermal neutrons

This is a stationary device for the effective measurement of the flash of
thermal neutrons in the presence of a strong gamma radiation.

The detector does not require any high voltage supplement or complex
radiotechnical systems. The range of measurement is from 10**8 neutrons/cm
sq. to 10**12 neutrons/cm sq. or more.

The detector can be used with any atomic installation.




Individual neutron Detector showing Dosimeter

This portable device measures neutrons immediately after the flash of
neutrons in the presence of any strong gamma-radiation.

The device is very small and does not require any electric power. The
range of dose measurement is from 1 ber (bar) (biological equivalent of 1
roentgen) to 100 or more. The device can be used by personnel in an atomic
installation or in the military.
