TRANSISTORIZED RADIATION MONITORS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4343141

Paper presented at I.R.E. Professional Group on Nuclear Science Meeting, New York, Oct. 3l, l957. The advantages of transistors over vacuum tubes in radiation instruments have long been realized but a somewhat different approach to circuit design must be followed in developing transistor instruments, as compared with that used in vacuum tube circuits, and this seems to have discouraged many from developing such circuits. The design principles included in some instruments developed at Chalk River in the past two years are described in detail. Transistor high voltage supplies, ratemeters, and pulse amplifiers are discussed and two instruments using these elements are described. (auth)
