The CEA Sensor, Dosimetry and Instrumentation Laboratory (LDCI) has been working since 2011 on an integrated acquisition system called MONACO, ’Multichannel Online Neutron Acquisition in Campbell mOde’, for fission chamber measurements. Taking into account the feedback acquired up to the CEA TRL7 version, the LDCI Lab and the Instrumentation Technologies company (Solkan – Slovenia) initiated in 2020 a two years collaboration agreement to build the Libera MONACO 3 industrialized version required for reactor use and mass production. After a final qualification performed in the Slovenian TRIGA Mark II reactor in March 2023, the system will be available on the nuclear instrumentation market by the end of 2023.
Key words: Fission Chamber / Ion Chamber Digital Acquisition System / Neutron Flux / Pulse Mode / Campbell Mode / Current Mode
