Radioactive sample counting Principles and practice

In 1980, the Radionuclide Topic Group of the Hospital Physicists' Association (HPA) produced a report detailing the technology and use of radioactive sample counters. This document appeared as TGR33, An Introduction to Automatic Radioactive Sample Counters. That said, the aims of this report remain the same as those of the original: to provide a concise description of the basic design of modern automatic radioactive sample counters; to describe the facilities available for data analysis and presentation; to identify those parameters which are important during daily use; to suggest factors which should be considered when purchasing a counter; to suggest calibration and service procedures to maintain the performance of the counter. The report should be a valuable source of reference for staff throughout a variety of professions who require a fundamental understanding of the processes involved in the absorption and detection of ionising radiationsIncludes bibliographical referencesAvailable from British Library Document Supply Centre- DSC:7521. 450(no 85) / BLDSC - British Library Document Supply CentreSIGLEGBUnited Kingdo
