Abstract

A nuclear reaction detection device includes an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) 100 which is arranged in an environment in which particle radiation is incident, and includes a user circuit 101 configured to output a value different from that in a normal state, if an SEU (Single Event Upset) occurs in a semiconductor element included in the FPGA, and an SEF detection unit 210 which detects that an abnormal operation (SEF) has occurred in the user circuit based on the output value from the user circuit 101 of the FPGA 100.
