Re: Help-stack monitoring for emergency
The Eberline RO-7 comes to mind. I've worked with these instruments in the
past for remote monitoring of equipment. I just called Eberline at
1-800-274-4212:
RO-7, instrument $2295
RO-7 LD, detector (low range, 0 to 1.999 R/h) $895
60 ft cable $595 (15 ft cable is $495)
Sources here say that RF interference is a problem with this system.
Dosimeter Corporation also makes a similar instrument, but I don't have an
instrumentation catalog on hand at this moment. Hope this helps!

Subject: Help-stack monitoring for emergency
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
