Compensated Ion Chamber

["Don Munroe" <DON@pliny.ehs.ufl.edu>]

The University of Florida Training Reactor is looking for a 
compensated ion chamber for use in the reactor.  The current 
detector, which has died after almost 40 years of operation, is a 
Westinghouse Model WL 6377 magnesium alloy, boron lined, ionization 
chamber.  A Westinghouse Model 6937 aluminum cased ion chamber could 
be used since we have a compensated ion chamber that has been used in 
the uncompensated model and that can be switched to compensated mode. 
 We have not had much luck finding a cheap replacement.  If anyone 
has a spare ion chamber like the Westinghouse models listed above or 
one with similar characteristics, please contact me.
