Telescoping Rate Meter

Abstract

Telescoping rate meters play a vital role in the practice of radiation safety in the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. The detector is attached to the end of an extendable, telescoping pole, thus allowing the operator to maintain a safe distance for high exposure areas. This allows the Navy to comply with federal regulations that radioactive doses received by operators are As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA).
