  • Abstract
    A simple continuous monitor for airborne alpha particles is described. The single-channel system can detect activity concentrations of ten times maximum permissible level for plutonium and gives indication of accumulated activity at 10-minute intervals. The instrument is designed with emphasis on simplicity, reliability, flexibility of use, and ease of decontamination.
