  • Abstract
    The environmental level gamma energy system developed at Atlantic Richfield Hanford Company laboratories consists of a single, large volume Ge(Li) detector with an NaI(Tl) anticoincidence guard, all operating in a laminar flow "Clean Room." A peak height to Compton edge ratio of better than 250:1, together with a reducing background, enables analysis of sample volumes from point sources to 700 cc.
