Abstract
The products of neutron reactions that give rise to heavy charged particles will form damage trails in insulating materials. These damage trails can be selectively etched so that the resulting tracks can be imaged with an optical microscope. Track counting is used as the basis for neutron measurement. Applications will be discussed, e.g., the measurement of homogeneity in nuclear fuel.
