Currently this is being done on behalf of the North-West University and consists of 12 Chalk River neutron counter tubes.
2.
To characterize the reactions, Jones designed and constructed a neutron counter that was capable of accurately measuring minuscule numbers of neutrons produced in his experiments.
3.
He was moving the final brick over the assembly, but neutron counters alerted Daghlian to the fact that the addition of that brick would render the system supercritical.
4.
Weil was the young scientist whom Fermi ordered to pull out the final control rod, foot by foot, thus activating the atomic furnace and causing the neutron counters to click ever faster and louder.

"But although we certainly didn't achieve sonofusion, or reach temperatures near what would be needed, we confirmed Dr . Putterman's results, using high-speed ` streak'cameras, neutron counters and other specialized equipment available for experimenters here at Livermore,"

Under the direction of Enrico Fermi, Wigner helped develop many of the theoretical methods that formed the basis for the world's first controlled chain reaction, which began at the University of Chicago on Dec . 2, 1942, on a squash court as a neutron counter began clicking wildly.

Facilities include Far-IR Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer, Fluorimeter RF-5000, Impedance Spectrometer and Inductively Coupled Mass Spectrometer ( ICP-MS ), Alpha Spectrometer, Liquid Scintillation Counter, High Purity Germanium Detector, Neutron Counter ED-XRF, HPLC, SFC, Ion Chromatography, Gas Chromatography etc . Among various achievements of the Group, Radioisotope production for medicinal importance is the ongoing important projects and has societal impact.
