A method of manufacturing, as a length of mineral insulated cable, a self-powered neutron flux detector, a lead cable therefor or both, with the detector, the lead cable or both having predetermined .gamma.-ray sensitivity in a high radiation environment, is provided wherein metal bands are provided around the detector core wire, the lead cable core wire or both, inside the sheath to control the .gamma.-ray sensitivity. The metal bands, and sleeves of a frangible insulation, are assembled in an oversize sleeve which is then reduced in diameter to pulverize the frangible sleeves, each metal band being in electrical contact with either the core wire or sheath. The metal bands incorporated in the lead cable predetermine the .gamma.-ray (and hence the dynamic response) of the lead cable, the metal bands incorporated in the detector predetermine the .gamma.-ray response (and hence the dynamic response) of the detector.
