A SCINTILLATION TRANSISTORIZED ALPHA HAND COUNTER

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4324171
A scintillation transistorized alpha hand counter was developed which can reliably detect and indicate plutonium alpha contamination with activity levels less than one-hundred d/m versus the present four-fold sensitivity limit of 500 d/m to 1000 d/m. The experimental instrument was operated continuously for four months by Hanford Laboratory personnel, with no maintenance or recalibration costs. The new instrument is less than one-third as large as the four-fold instrument. (auth)
