... than the thermal neutron population. The ssion chambers in use at Sandia include a wide variety of ssile materials. Fission chambers with 235U deposits respond mostly to thermal neutrons, but can also exhibit a photo ssion response to highenergy photons energies greater than 5 MeV 6 . Chambers...
