Re[2]: Shielded Pancake GM Probe

     There is also instructions for making these out of aluminum tubing in 
     the Radiological Work Practices Handbook (NAVSEA 389-0362, or the "Big 
     Red Book") if you can get a copy of it.  It also has instructions for 
     building virtually anything related to practical radiological 
     controls. I don't know if this book is available to anyone outside of 
     the Navy world but it would be great if it was.  If I remember 
     correctly it had some sort of classification to it (NOFORN?).

     The Navy shipyard I worked at (Mare Island) converted their own by 
     removing the handle of a DT-304 and mounting a flat bar of aluminum to 
     the holes in place of it.  It was bent slightly in two places to align 
     the handle with the center of gravity of the probe/shield assembly. 
     Typically, it was about 2 feet long and had the general configuration of 
     a bath brush. Very handy for self frisking the middle of one's back. Is 
     that what you want it for?

Does anyone know of a manufacturer/model of an equivalent to the 
HP210T/TPGM/DT304, but with a fairly long (<=50cm) handle?
