A GAMMA RADIATION ALARM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4268325
A description is given of a monitor providing an audible warning of an increase in gamma intensity of 2 to 3 M.P.L's above a preset level. An adjustment allows this level to be selected between 0 and 10 M.P.L's. The alarm also indicates failure of the equipment or of the mains supply. A high-current Geiger counter measures the gamma intensity, the resultant current deenergizing a relay via a single stage amplifier and operating an alarm bell. (auth)
