RE: federal government begins installing radiation detection devices
An old rule of thumb for equipment at NPPs was to use a factor of 2. You
could approximate the installed cost as being roughly twice the cost of the
hardware as delivered on site. So a rough figure could be that each
monitor costs about $140,000 delivered at the site. (That included
manuals, QA, shipping, and all hardware, but excluded vendor on-site
activities.) It might not be unreasonable. It's not clear how
sophisticated this package needs to be to cope with variable backgrounds,
variable geometries, and a variety of sources. This might be a good issue
for the instrument types to weigh in on.
As usual, my opinion only.

Dimiter:
it's the reverse ten percent rule to the square:
I sell them for 2800.
The guy who installs them gets 28000 (I was told that is 10%, or at
least 100 x 10)
The guy who moves the papers gets to charge 280000, much consulting is
involved
(I do discounts for >=10 units)

Does anyone know what these monitors are like? I could easily think of a

this implies which could beat this price.
