AB  - A FPGA-based real-time digital pulse shape discriminator has been employed to 
      distinguish between neutrons (n) and gammas (gamma) in the Neutron Flux Monitor (NFM) 
      for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). The discriminator 
      takes advantages of the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) parallel and 
      pipeline process capabilities to carry out the real-time sifting of neutrons in 
      n/gamma mixed radiation fields, and uses the rise time and amplitude inspection 
      techniques simultaneously as the discrimination algorithm to observe good n/gamma 
      separation. Some experimental results have been presented which show that this 
      discriminator can realize the anticipated goals of NFM perfectly with its 
      excellent discrimination quality and zero dead time.
