RE: Snoopy-- unfamiliar with jargon -Reply

We have a snoopy here that we use occasionally,
mostly for Health Physics labs.  If anyone is interested
I can take a picture of ours with our digital camera and post it 
for those of you able to read pictures on your email. 

just in case you are interested in what it looks like, 
it is rather heavy...

Kim,

I recall the AN/PDR-70 being referred to as a "Snoopy".  The detector is a
proportional counter filled with boron trifluoride gas. The shield consists
of
concentric cylinders; with the inner cyclinder being polyethylene, followed
by
boron impregnated plastic and finally by more polyethylene.  You might find
some of these relics at older nuclear facilities.
