Dear members

UKAEA are planning to undertake some investigative work offshore of
Dounreay in Oct/Nov 2007. Part of this work would need a radiation
detector with spectral capability (NaI, CdZn, BGO..) which is protected
for
work in seawater up to 60 metres depth. It would also need to fit down
an
unlined borehole about 75mm wide, and preferably attached to a 1-inch
wide
camera, so the narrower the detector the better.
Our regular suppliers have been unable to provide the kit, either
because
their detector/housing is too large, or they cannot provide long enough
signal cable (we need approx 100 metre cable to ship).
Can anyone recommend a supplier of detector and associated MCA, either
to
purchase or to borrow for a couple of months?

kind regards

Joe Toole
