A need for sensitive, stable alpha hand and shoe monitoring equipment was met by a transistorized air proportional instrument. Many features incorporated in the design were first used in portable alpha survey meters for several years and have demonstrated reliability. The large-area air proportional detectors are unaffected by penetrating background radiations or rf or magnetic fields. they have a uniform surface response and 16% efficiency at 5 Mev. Novel pedestal-type packaging and transistorization resulted in a compact, efficient, and attractive instrument. Maintenance is much less than for scintillation-type counters. (auth)
