deposition rate is the critical pirameter
and this depends only on the dose rate.

This ig not the cace for the BF

Chamber, nowever,

The fonirzntion curren

produced in the BF3 Chamber is proportional
to the number of fret neutrons which have

been thermalized in the sixth centimeter

polyethylene moderator and this depends on

_ energy.

According to Enyder and Neufeld,
the ratio according to fast rem rate at
five MEV and the depth of gix MEV in
tiseve is ten to one, but at ten MEV it is
only one to a hundred.
All our instrument calibrations
are done in terma of polonium beryllium

and plutonium beryllium neutron sources.
These have essentially the same spectron

and so for the calibration of counters,

counting time instruments all that is needed

to know is the output of the source.

However, for instrunents suoh as
fonization chambers, which are also sensitive

to gamma radiation, it is necessary to know
the gamma output of the cources,
