Abstract

To address the urgent need to find a viable 3He replacement technology, Los Alamos National Laboratory has developed an integrated test program for performance evaluation of 3He replacement technologies with focus on safeguards specific parameters. In addition, a dedicated experimental setup was built to support the experimental activities. Current activity focuses on evaluation of 10B lined proportional counters. This paper presents an overview of the test program as well as the first results from the GE/Reuter-Stokes 10B lined system.
