beta dose rate meters

["Lieskovsky, Miro" <MLieskovsky@nbpower.com>]

RADSAFERs,

I would appreciate your help with or reference on the beta energy
dependence of the following two types of beta/gamma dose rate meters:
1.  Eberline Model RO-2A, and
2.  Victoreen, Model 450B.

Especially, information on the relative response for usual calibration
sources (147Pm, 204Tl and 90Sr/Y) in terms of dose rate Dt(0.07) in
tissue or dose rate Da(0)in free air (with an open beta window)
normalized to unit dose rate for photons (with a close beta windows).
 
(In my weak memory I seem to remember that there were some NUREG ?
sponsored proceedings on betas published in the early '80-ies with
papers which covered the Eberline's RO-2A...)

Thank you in advance.
