  • Abstract
    This paper analyzes the logarithmic-diode counting-rate meter and the logarithmic-diode period meter, treating the problem of obtaining rapid response to reactor-flux transients while minimizing the spurious fluctuations caused by the random character of neutron detections in a fission counter. A procedure for choosing design parameters is discussed.
