Abstract A neutron flux detector composed of a bank of nine He3 detectors is developed. It is employed successfully to record neutron flux from a pulsed source as low as 5 × 102 neutrons per m2, which is about 0.5 nrem per shot. It may find applications in recording low neutron flux at large distances from the source or in detecting leakage from the radiation shield, and hence may help to estimate health hazards.
