Abstract :
The Health Division at Los Alamos has developed a multipurpose radiation monitoring device that is computer-controlled, lightweight (3 lb), includes multiple radiation detectors running simultaneously, and is simple to use. LCD displays indicate the various radiation parameters in both alphanumeric and graphics format. Internal batteries allow 100 hours of use.
