A self-powered neutron detector (SPND) is a type of radiation detection device specifically designed to measure neutron flux. It operates based on the principle that certain materials can produce a detectable signal when they interact with neutrons. The detector typically consists of a neutron-sensitive material that generates charged particles (such as electrons) when it absorbs neutrons. These charged particles then produce a signal, usually in the form of an electrical current or voltage, that can be measured.
