  • Directional gamma ray monitor
    Patent number: 4675523
    Abstract: A directional gamma ray monitor is based on a method for measuring the gamma ray flux within a small solid angle. The method entails measuring the flux incident on a detector 36, measuring the flux incident on the detector 36 when behind a shielding block 50, which is arranged to subtend the said small solid angle with the detector 36, and determining the difference between the two measurements. In an apparatus for carrying out the method, the shielding block 50 is moved between a position when it is on the axis of a gamma ray detector 36 and a position where it is displaced from the axis of the gamma ray detector 36.
