Scientific paper

Before neutron detectors are installed into the heavy water at SNO to detect neutral-current interactions, they are allowed to 'cool down' underground from surface cosmic-ray activation. During this time, they will be in a position to measure neutron flux from the INCO Creighton Mine's norite rock walls. A nearby galactic supernova will increase neutron production in the norite via charged- and neutral-current interactions. The increase in the neutron flux, as well as the neutral-current detectors' sensitivity to neutron flux, will be summarized and the possible use of these proportional counters as a supernova detector will be discussed.
