Fission chambers ... [These] counters [are] designed for the detection of neutrons by their interaction with a solid fissile material ... Neutrons cause fission of the fissile material and the high energy ionising products of that reaction result, usually, in the output of pulses from the chamber. These chambers are known as pulse fission chambers since the rate of pulse output is proportional to the rate of fission reactions and, therefore, to the neutron flux.  1, record 1, English, - pulse%20fission%20chamber

Chambres à fission, en régime d'impulsions. Elles ont une sensibilité faible (comprise entre 0,1 et 4 cps/nv) et délivrent des impulsions de très faible amplitude. Leur intérêt réside dans la très faible influençabilité vis-à-vis des gamma. Elles peuvent supporter jusqu'à 10₄ Gy/h.  1, record 1, French, - chambre%20%C3%A0%20fission%20en%20r%C3%A9gime%20d%27impulsions
