Abstract :
The fast neutron hodoscope used at TREAT reactor for fuel meltdown studies has been improved to permit count rates above 106/sec in each channel. Also a digital readout system, based on integrated circuit scalers, has been introduced. Peak instantaneous data rate capability, now about 107/sec, can be expanded to 109/sec.
