Elaboration of Air Monitoring Problem

[RadSafeInst@CS.COM]

Elaboration on my earlier question follows: (Thanks Again!  Ed)

This country plans to mount detectors in a desert environment on poles and 

states G-M or Proportional Counters are acceptable provided they meet these 

specs. Their question was: "Is this feasible?".  Here are specs:
