Abstract
A fast neutron, thermal neutron, and gamma ray component (FTG) discrim inator is proposed in this study. The FTG discriminator was tested usi ng neutron beams generated from the YAYOI fast neutron reactor and the Kyoto University Research Reactor. Various beams were successfully di scriminated into fast, thermal, cold neutrons and gamma rays. The meas urement technique and the reliability of the FTG discriminator are dis cussed.
