FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to neutron flux measurement devices, in particular to equipment for control and protection systems of nuclear reactors, and is used as a primary converter of an in-reactor neutron flux density monitoring channel. Proposed invention is based on coaxial electrode system, radiator material in which is Thorium oxide ThO2 coating. Content of isotope 232Th (has threshold value of fission cross section by neutrons in 1 MeV) in natural raw material is 100 %, which eliminates reduction of information content of signal when detecting fast neutrons due to presence of isotopes sensitive to thermal neutrons.
EFFECT: technical result is registration of exclusively "fast" component of neutron flow (from 1 eV to 20 MeV) in active zone of reactor in conditions of stationary operation mode, transient periods of stopping, starting and outputting nuclear reactor to full capacity without using retarders.
