LARGE-AREA FLOW COUNTERS SPEED RADIATION MEASUREMENTS

Journal Article · · Nucleonics (U.S.) Ceased publication
OSTI ID:4817169
The design concept and performance of a flow proportional detector with a particularly large counter area are described. The size and sensitivity (with anticoineidence circuits) of the proportional flow counters enable it to make faster and more accurate measurements of gamma radiation and alpha and beta particles. The advantages over scintillation counters and G-M counters are pointed out. Applications in air and waste monitoring and monitoring of surfaces are discussed. (T.R.H.)
