Specialty Neutron Instrumentation

Specialty Neutron Instrumentation

Since its founding in 1988, BTI has been recognized as a global leader in neutron instrumentation. Starting with the introduction of its first commercial product–the neutron bubble detector–BTI has continued to develop a long line of neutron detection, neutron dosimetry, and spectroscopic neutron instrumentation. BTI’s instrumentation is used by agencies worldwide including industrial, medical, law enforcement, military, national laboratories, and space agencies.

PND

BD-PND – Personal Neutron Dosimeter

Bubble Detectors are the most sensitive, accurate, neutron dosimeters available. Used for over 15 years by nuclear facilities, research institutes, military personnel, and the medical community, Bubble Detectors provide instant visible detection and measurement of neutron dose. The BD-PND is the recommended detector for personal neutron dosimetry.

BDT

BDT – Bubble Detector Thermal

The Bubble Detector is the only neutron dosimeter where the response is independent of dose rate and energy, with zero sensitivity to gamma radiation. Health physicists and others who are especially concerned with thermal neutron dose can take advantage of the simplicity and low cost of thermal Bubble Detectors. The BDT Bubble Detector is preferentially sensitive to thermalized neutrons, with an exclusion ratio of thermal-to-fast neutron response exceeding 10:1.

BDS

BDS – Bubble Detector Spectrometer

Bubble Detectors are the most sensitive, accurate, neutron dosimeters available. Used for over 15 years by nuclear facilities, research institutes, military personnel, and the medical community. The BDS is a complete low-cost neutron spectrometer package consisting of 36 Bubble Detectors that have been specifically formulated with six different energy thresholds.

RC18

RC-18 – Recompression Chamber for BDS

To recompress (re-zero) the bubbles in the BDS after an exposure, a hydrostatic pressure chamber is available.  18 BDS, in a plastic holder, are placed in the RC-18 and the chamber is filled with water.  Pressure is applied safely and easily with a screw down piston assembly.  18 BDS can be recompressed at one time in the RC-18, with recompression time in the order of 30 minutes.
