Beta and Gamma Dose Rates From Terrestrially Distributed Sources (open access)

Beta and Gamma Dose Rates From Terrestrially Distributed Sources

Report that examines the dose rate of radiation in the air and in a test subject due to radioactive materials (uranium, thorium, and potassium) that are present in the ground. The test subject in these experiments is a water cylinder that is meant to receive radiation in a manner similar to a person.

Transistorization of Nuclear Counting Circuits (open access)

Transistorization of Nuclear Counting Circuits

From Abstract: "The advantage of long operational life, low power drain and miniaturization may be realized in nuclear counting circuits through the use of transistors. The disadvantage of instability, due to the effects of temperature change in the transistor, may be minimized in counting circuit designs. Representative circuits of a binary stage, amplitude discriminator, one shot multivibrator, and ratemeters are included. These were designed using the criteria of an minimum Beta and a maximum Ico."

Strontium Program: Summary Report for October 1957 (open access)

Strontium Program: Summary Report for October 1957

Technical report was prepared by the Health and Safety Laboratory (HASL) with the objective of presenting a current picture of the Strontium Program. Abstract: Strontium 90 levels in fallout, milk, canned fish and tap water are summarized for data available up to September 15, 1957. Original data submitted during the month of September is included as an appendix. Data are presented to show the amount of Strontium 90 in fallout at sampling stations within and outside the United States.
