Zusammenfassung:A neutron ionization chamber of the gamma ray compensation type comprises a neutron-sensing ionization chamber portion having an electrode surface coated with a material for sensing neutrons, a gamma ray-sensing ionization chamber portion which has a low neutron sensitivity in comparison with the neutron sensitivity of said neutron-sensing material, a device for substracting ionization currents in the gamma ray-sensing ionization chamber portion from ionization currents in the neutron-sensing ionization chamber portion, and a coating material which is coated on an electrode surface of the gamma ray-sensing ionization chamber portion, the coating material including a material for sensing neutrons the percentage of which is less than the the percentage of the neutron sensing material of the neutron sensing ionization chamber portion.
