Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A portable high range multi-purpose radiation detection instrument is described. The device performs three separate functions: (1) measurement of gamma dose rate (2) measurement of beta plus gamma dose rate and (3) measurement of beta dose rate in the presence of gamma radiation (by means of gamma cancellation). The ranges of operation for each of these functions are 0 - 2 rad/hr, 0 - 10 rad/hr, 0 - 100 rad/hr, and 0 - 1000 rad/hr in tissue under selected physical conditions. The radiac consists of a dual ionization chamber detector, an electrometer amplifier, and two transistorized power supplies. It is powered by two type D flashlight batteries and will operate continuously in excess of 90 hours with 10% meter light operation. The report covers performance data, design factors, and construction details of the instruments.
