Abstract
A neutron activation detector comprises a first enclosure, a plurality of electrical leads, and an activation medium disposed within the enclosure. The activation medium consists substantially of a material that is activated by fast neutrons, and is arranged within the enclosure so that activation of the material by fast neutrons results in a current between the plurality of electrical leads.
