  • 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.
