Model 2363 with 42-41L

Neutron  Dose Survey Meter

Part Number: 48-3514

Features

• Light-weight Neutron Detection System
• Independent Gamma and Neutron Measurements
• Neutron Detection Range: 1 μSv/h to 10 mSv/h (0.1 mrem/hr to 1 rem/hr)
• Gamma Detection Range: 1 μSv/h to 10 mSv/h (0.1 mR/hr to 1 R/hr)
• Scaler & Data Logging Capabilities

This gamma/neutron survey meter combines Ludlum Model 2363 survey meter with the Model 42-41L PRESCILA neutron detector. The gamma detector is an energy compensated GM housed internally to the survey meter. The neutron detector is a proton recoil type, which provides excellent measurement results at less weight than the more traditional REM balls. The neutron measurement has excellent gamma rejection up to 100 mR/hr.
