| Summary: | ability to detect and prevent the spread of contamination is and continues to be used frequently. The evaluation and manufacturers are continually attempting to improve the concern of instrument makers deals with the sensitivity of conditions, to determine overall probe performance. consisted of several tests concerning response to radiation Dosimeter Corporation and the AB100 Scintillator Probe extremely short ranges, are very difficult to detect with have been designed with an increased sensitivity to alpha Ludlum Model 44-9 (Pancake) GM Probe was also evaluated, one of the most significant roles of portable survey meters, part of most operational health physics programs. The Portable survey instrumentation has always been an integral probes to alpha emitting radionuclides, which, due to probes were evaluated in this study, the 350A Alpha Probe of produced by Harshaw Bicron. As an additional comparison, a radiation, combining larger sensitive surface areas with very sensitivity and usefulness of such equipment. A major since it has served as an industry standard for many years survey meters. In response to these concerns several probes thin windows to increase detector efficiency. Two such under various laboratory conditions and also under actual |
