A Radiation Survey Meter Using Cesium Iodide PA-100
Author: Norio Itatani; Takeshi Aoyama
– This paper introduces the Model PA-100, a radiation survey meter that uses cesium iodide as a solid-state scintillator. Conventional scintillation-survey meters have used sodium iodide as the solid-state scintillator. However, since this requires a radiation-sensitive device in the photomultiplier tube, it had proven difficult to make the equipment compact, The new PA-100 has solved this problem with the use of cesium iodide in conjunction with a photodiode, resulting In a radiation survey meter that is compact, powerful, and efficient.
