RE: High Range Dose Rate Monitors



Try irradiator manufacturers, the dose rate ranges you're talking about mean
you want a proven "system", not an just an instrument and a system whipped
together from Radio Shack.

The J.L. Shepherd company can be reached at 818-898-2361, but I would also
try other medical and industrial suppliers.  A food irradiation facility
should have a good idea.
