In this work we revisit the problem of the restricted count rate capability of thermal neutron detectors utilizing the ZnS scintillator. The effect of the long afterglow of the scintillator on the detector performance at high counting rates is studied. A count rate capability substantially above values currently regarded as feasible is demonstrated.
