OSTI ID:4241259
Some of the uses of radiation detection instruments in research and industry arc described. Limitations of G-M counters arc discussed. Energy measurement and x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy with gas ionization proportional counters are described. The use or gas ionization counters in fast neutron hazard evaluation and low activity assay is also described. Other instrument uses discussed are thickness gaging, gamma scintillation spectroscopy, and whole- body monitoring. (T.R.H.)
