THE DESIGN OF AN IMPROVED PROTOTYPE GEIGER-MUELLER TUBE TO BE USED IN A STANDARD CD V-700 RADIOLOGICAL INSTRUMENT AND WHICH WILL INCREASE THE RANGE ONE DECADE.

Abstract

This report presents the results of a development and engineering program leading to the successful production of 30 prototypes of a new GeigerMueller tube (EON Type No. 5115), designed to operate in and extend the range of the standard CD V-700 radiological instrument by one decade. OCD classification for this general detector is OCD-D-101. A definitive specification for this tube was evolved and the prototypes were evaluat-ed in accordance with this specification. In addition the prototype tubes were subjected to extensive active and shelf life tests to prove their feasibility for application in the referenced equipment. (Author)
