Abstract
The importance of neutron measurements both as a succinct measure of the progress to fusion ignition using the magenetic confinement route and also as a diagnostic of plasma conditions is discussed. The various neutron diagnostic systems that have been or are being construsted by AERE Harwell for JET are described. The properties to be measured by such diagnostics are clearly identified and some results obtained with the installed diagnostics during d-d plasmas are presented.Keywords
