RADIOACTIVE RATEMETER FOR
FIELD WORK
A battery-operated instrument designed for geological surveying, mapping and prospecting for radioactive ores and for the examination of mine workings has been developed by a British firm in conjunction with Britain's Atomic Energy Research Establishment.
When the instrument is used in conjunction with the associated beta probe unit, assay work can be carried out in the field.
