Self-Powered Neutron Detectors (SPNDs) are in use as in-core Neutron Fluence Detectors in Nuclear Power Plants. Though the detectors are simple in design and have a common structure for the same application, there are various types of emitters (neutron-sensitive electrodes) that make SPNDs categorized into different types. There are various SPNDs in application at different types of nuclear power reactors. SPND emitters are chosen based on their characteristics/behavior in the neutron & gamma flux environment in the reactor core. A detailed Literature Review was done on five different types of SPNDs. This paper focuses on the physics behind the operation, characteristics, and review of Vanadium, Rhodium, Inconel, and Cobalt & Silver emitter-based SPNDs. A comparison study was done by a literature review on these detectors.
