CONVERSION OF THE AN/PDR-T1B RADIAC TO A REMOTE AREA MONITOR

Abstract

A reliable remote-area monitor was devised from two AN/PDR-T1B gamma survey meters by coupling the electronics of one unit, located at the readout position, with the ion chamber from a second instrument located at the remote monitoring position. Cable lengths up to 50 ft were used with no appreciable signal degradation. The instrument is useful in fields up to 500 r/hr, and it has produced measurements agreeing with a standard NRDL Model 103 gamma intensity vs time recorder (GITR) to within = 20%.
