  • Abstract
    This paper presents the results of in-core experiments conducted to demonstrate the performance of microwave neutron flux detectors. For a microwave resonant cavity, a frequency shift, as caused by a neutron-generated plasma within the cavity, results in a detection technique capable of covering up to six decades of reactor power.
