instrument.

It uses a nuclear inter-action

to favor neutron pulses in a cirsuit to

accept only those pulees greater than a
precept pesk voltage fo discriminate
neutron produced pulses from pulses pro-

duced from gamma radiation,

The Hornyak and the Hurst

Proportional Counter are both survey type

Anstrumente,

The former uces the light

pulses produced in @ zino sulphide lucite
sointillator and the latter uses -=
well,
in the first -éase they are produced either
by recoiled protone with the lucite or the
reacbion protons from the sulphur reaction
and the latter uses the recoil from the
ethylene filling.

Eince’ both of these = since the

pulse heights in both of these cases depend

con the kinetic energy of the instant neufron,

there are fluxes with sufficiently low ener~
gies that will not be registered by the counte
ing instruments.
|

In other words there are low energy

cutorfs below which these inetruments will

not work.
