Snoopy

[ROBBARISH@aol.com]

Fellow Radsafers:

The NP-2 Neutron Survey Meter is still manufactured by Nuclear Research Corp. 
in Warrington, PA. 215-343-5900.  It got the nickname Snoopy from its 
appearance in profile. With the large cylindrical black-polyethylene 
moderator placed adjacent to a smaller grey-colored electronics package it 
looks from the side like the profile of the head of Charlie Brown's dog in 
the Peanuts cartoon strip, Foreign readers of this list may be unfamiliar 
with his name, "Snoopy," but you can catch him floating down Broadway in the 
next Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (25 November 1999) on a news-service 
satellite feed.
