thermal neutron absorber
Oil & gas; Oilfield
An element, or mineral, that is particularly effective in absorbing thermal neutrons (neutrons with about the same energy as the surrounding matter, typically less than 0. 4 eV). ...
chemical neutron source
Oil & gas; Oilfield
An encapsulated radioactive material that emits neutrons for use in neutron porosity measurements. The most common source relies on alpha-beryllium reactions in a 241 Am-Be ...
guard electrode
Oil & gas; Oilfield
