For example, an assumed operating voltage is 1100 volts, based upon the

flattest part of the plateau. The count rate at that voltage is 2380 counts
per minute (cpm), and the neutron field dose-equivalent rate is 20 rem/hr.

The sensitivity is calculated as:

This value should be approximately 120 cpm/mrem/hr.

Gamma Rejection Check

With the Model 42-49 connected to the Model 2200, adjust the Model

2200 HV to the assumed operating voltage determined above.

Remove the Model 42-49 detector from the moderator and place in a

10 R/hr

137

Cs gamma radiation field.

Take a one-minute count. If more than 10 counts are observed for the

one-minute period, decrease the operating voltage until the count rate

drops below 10 cpm; however, ensure that the HV remains in the
plateau region determined above.

Ensure that sensitivity for the selected operating voltage is

approximately 120 cpm/mrem/hr.

Return the Model 42-49 to the moderator.
