Zusammenfassung:According to an embodiment, a neutron measurement apparatus has: a neutron detector; a preamplifier that amplifies an output signal of the neutron detector and outputs a neutron detection signal; a pulse counting unit that measures the neutron intensity by using pulse counting method by which the neutron detection signal is used to count the number of individual pulses; a Campbell measurement unit that measures the neutron intensity by using Campbell method by which a time average of squares of AC component of the neutron detection signal is calculated; a correction constant calculation unit that calculates a correction constant for correcting an output of the Campbell measurement unit by using an output of the pulse counting unit and an output of the Campbell measurement unit; and a correction value calculation unit that outputs, based on the output of the Campbell measurement unit, a corrected value by using the correction constant.
