摘要： A method for detecting photonuclear-induced delayed neutrons emitted from a material by exciting the material with high-energy photon stimulation to generate neutrons emissions, detecting said neutrons, generating electric pulse signals representative of detected neutrons, amplifying and shaping said electric pulse signals with an amplifier, low-pass filter and high-pass filter, and comparing said amplified and shaped electric pulse signal with a threshold voltage to generate output pulses to detect delayed neutrons.

摘要： The invention describes a product and a method for generating electrical power directly from nuclear power. More particularly, the invention describes the use of a liquid semiconductor as a means for efficiently converting nuclear energy, either nuclear fission and/or radiation energy, directly into electrical energy. Direct conversion of nuclear energy to electrical energy is achieved by placing nuclear material in close proximity to a liquid semiconductor. Nuclear energy emitted from the nuclear material, in the form of fission fragments or radiation, enters the liquid semiconductor and creates electron-hole pairs. By using an appropriate electrical circuit an electrical load is applied and electrical energy generated as a result of the creation of the electron-hole pairs.
