Fig. 8-6 The change of the electrical resistance of Al2O3 by irradiation of 14 - MeV neutrons

The abscissa and ordinate show time (sec.), and neutron flux and resistivity, respectively. The resistance sharply decreases after neutron irradiation begins (around 550 sec.). The gradual recovery of the resistance after discontinuing irradiation is due to residual gamma rays.
