A method is presented for enlarging read-outs from a Victoreen
Model 575 Radocon, an ionization chamber type of radiation survey
instrument. The read-out enlargement is accomplished by taking the
signal across the Radocon indicating meter, amplifying it, and using
the amplified signal to drive a projection meter. The face and...
Past weapons production activities have resulted in mass quantities of trans-uranic waste being buried in drums at several sites in the United States. In an effort to relocate these waste drums to more permanent storage sites, Fluor Hanford has begun characterizing their contents to ensure compliance with various shipping and...
In situ salinity, turbidity and temperature were measured at discrete depths and water samples for radioanalysis were simultaneously collected in the Columbia River Estuary using a specially designed instrument package. Particulate radioactivity was concentrated by filtration and the dissolved radioactivity by evaporation or ferric oxide bulk precipitation. Radioanalysis was by...
