1. A method of fabrication for a neutron detector comprising one or more scintillation detector layers in a modular configuration, the method comprising:

  • a. mixing 6LiF with a binder medium with a scintillator material;

    b. forming one or more active scintillation layers with slots that run lengthwise across each active scintillation layer, each layer having a top piece and a bottom piece that have matching peaks and valleys such that when the peaks and valleys of the two pieces face each other and the two pieces abut each other, grooves are formed at the matching valleys to hold in the grooves one or more fiber optic light media surrounded by scintillator material; and

    c. positioning one or more fiber optic light media in the grooves, such that the fiber optic light media are optically coupled with adjacent scintillation material of the one or more active scintillation layers.
