Helium-3 Neutron Detector Fill Gas from Germany
High-purity Helium-3 gas filled into detector tubes for thermal neutron detection in security and research. Classified as the isotope itself under HTS 2845.40.00.00, not as a finished detector. The isotope's neutron absorption properties drive its specialized use.
