Re: Ion Chamber Instruments

[DSnowder@aol.com]

The Dept. Of Energy Contractors Health Physics Instrument Committee (HPIC)
performed an extensive evaluation and testing of eight popular Ion Chamber
models for standardization at DOE facilities about 3 years ago. The Eberline
RO-20 and Bicron RSO-50E were selected because of their favorable test results
on ANSI N42.17C testing. Their continued use with minimal problems at DOE
facilities over the past 3-4 years has proven our selection correct.  This
does'nt meant they are perfect, or the best....just the selected choice for 24
DOE facilities represented on the HPIC.
