Popis: A system for the formation of neutron fluxes, consisting of a neutron converter, a neutron reflector and a lead protection, has been developed and partially manufactured. Test tubes with an aqueous solution of the organic dye methyl orange with the addition of 4% boric acid were used as detectors of the generated neutron fluxes, which is associated with the impossibility of using gas-discharge neutron counters in the accelerator bunker due to the impact of pulsed electrical noise and gamma-ray flashes. Testing of the neutron flux formation system showed that the neutron flux at the location of the detectors increased by 15%, while the neutron background in the accelerator bunker decreased by 3 times. The conducted studies have shown the effectiveness of using a chemical dosimeter under conditions of intense pulsed neutron fluxes.
