Nuclear heating measurements by gamma and neutron thermometers

A gamma thermometer suitable for very high gamma heating levels (up to 20 W/g) has been designed and modelled by means of detailed finite element Face Cream calculations.Based on a sensitivity analysis, the predicted accuracy of this gamma thermometer is better than 5 %.A novel miniaturized gamma thermometer is proposed in which a single thermocoup
