IONIZATION CHAMBERS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RADIATION MEASUREMENTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4173077
; ;
The development of ionization chambers for precise dosimetric measurements of environmental gamma and cosmic radiation in the field is described. The design, calibration, and evaluation of 20-liter air ion chambers and high-pressure argon and nitrogen chambers are discussed in terms of the difficulties associated with field surveys of environmental radiation.
