Abstract
A fission track solid-state detector, based on aluminophosphate or sodium-calcium glasses and foil of natural uranium, was investigated. The etching conditions and evaluation of detectors are discussed. In the given arrangement a sensitivity of 1 rem for aluminophosphate glasses and 5 rem for sodium-calcium glasses was attained with slow neutrons.
