It is intended that a more mature version of this instrument will be used as part of a robotic manipulator to investigate various parts of the stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant. Here, three such silicon carbide based proto-type sensors have been created, two of which have differing thicknesses of boron-10 deposited on, with the final one left bare. The thicknesses and materials chosen have been informed via Monte Carlo software (MCNP 6.2) which was also used to assess the suitability of two other potential converter materials – Lithium-6 and gadolinium-157.
