Abstract :
It has been found desirable and practical, in designing automatic control devices for starting nuclear reactors, to measure flux transients at extremely low flux levels, using the output from neutron-counting circuits. In general, a logarithmic count-rate circuit is used, and the logarithmic indication of flux thus obtained is differentiated electrically to yield an indication of the period of the reactor flux.
