Help-stack monitoring for emergency

["Chan-Hyeong Kim" <chkim@trinity.tamu.edu>]

Dear Colleagues:

I always appreciate your help and valuable comments!  The Texas A&M
University Nuclear Science Center is preparing to produce ~1000 Ci of
Xe-125.  For this, it is necessary to monitor the dose rate at the stack for
emergency.  It is found that ion chamber or GM tube is the best option for
the dose rate at the stack (~5-200 mR/h range).  The problem is that we need
to read the dose rate at a "distant" place (~20 feet from the detector).  Do
any of you have a good idea on this?  The other problem is that we can spend
not so much, less than $3,000, on this.  I would appreciate your help.

Chan
