Gas-filled radiation detectors functioning as electrical transducers that are used, for example, in assemblies for measuring power and rate of change of power by means of neutron fluence rate (flux), and in reactor warning and safety monitoring assemblies. The detectors are not for personnel dosimetry purposes.
