> The Radiation Protection Manager here at VC Summer Nuclear Station, wants

> scintillation, personnel contamination monitor). Specifically, he wants

> example), why a Teletector over-responds to Nitrogen-16 gamma radiation

> versus an RO-2, how a REM-ball responds to thermal neutrons when exposed

> to a neutron field at 100% reactor power, and what effect does alpha

> radiation have on shielding beta radiation if one is using the RM-24 to

> free-release an individual? Can anyone possibly provide any input that I

> information? It'd be much appreciated. Thank you.
