Evaluation of the Energy and Angular Dependence of the Victoreen Models 470A and 471 Survey Meters.

Abstract

The angular and energy dependence of the Victoreen models 470A and 471 have been evaluated. The instruments were exposed to x-rays of 9, 21, 42, 64 and 120 keV effective energies as well as to CS-137 gamma rays. Instrument response was also evaluated as a function of incident radiation angle between 0 degrees and 90 degrees. Both instruments met or exceeded manufacturer's performance specifications.
