Technical Report · Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1961

OSTI ID:4056097

Hardison, H V

A sensitive ""walk-through'' monitor was developed to detect beta-gamma contamination on the shoes of personnel exiting from a regulated area. The monitor is continuously compensated for changes in general background radiation; consequently it can detect as little as 100 cpm of betagamma contamination, even within the range of extraneous variable sources of radiation.
