Ludlum 12-4 Neutron Dose Ratemeter

The Model 12-4 is a neutron dose ratemeter that features a 3He proportional detector surrounded by a cadmium-loaded polyethylene sphere for moderating and detecting neutrons from thermal to 12 MeV. It has a measurement range of 0-100 mSv/h, gamma rejection up to 0.1 Sv/h, adjustable high voltage and discriminator settings, and audio and visual indicators. The ratemeter is powered by two D cell batteries and measures 43.2 x 22.9 x 26.7 cm.
