Abstract
A brief description of the mode of fission of bismuth by deuterons and a comparison of this type of fission with slow-neutron fission of Uranium-235 is summarized in this article. The construction of two types of bismuth-fission ionization chambers is described in detail The operating characteristics of one such chamber, the CR-5, containing thirty grams of bismuth, are listed. A brief review of cosmic ray phenomena is included which points to the field wherein this type of chamber could be used to best advantage.
