Looking for new alpha/beta counter

["Gary H. Kramer" <gkramer@hpb.hwc.ca>]

Greetings

The Fallout and Reactor section of the Radiation Protection Bureau is 
looking for a new automatic alpha beta counter.  I recently found out 
that Canberra has stopped selling their model (it didn't make enough 
money for the company).

The counter will be used to count filter papers (2" diam.) mounted in a 
planchet.

The counter should be able to handle 50 samples in an unattended mode.

Views, comments, warnings, and advice on who makes good counters would be 
appreciated.

Regards
	Gary
