Selective Summary of Studies on the Fission Product Inhalation Program from July 1964 Through June 1965
Abstract
A gamma ray detection system for biological samples that will yield good spectral data and be insensitive to changes in sample size is being investigated. In this system, the samples are rotated around an axis parallel to the axis of a long, cylindrical NaI detector. Data obtained to date on its response to 1 ml and 1 quart samples demonstrate that this system can be made insensitive to geometry changes of this magnitude while maintaining a usable counting efficiency (3% for Cs-137). Construction details are given. Work on the spectral response is still in progress.
