The feasibilicy of telemeteriag neutron-flux daca has been estadlisacd.
This aight be cesiradle for bursts at locations shere recovery of sazples
would be unlicxely, at regions of low flux where sanple activity decay aight
preclude the possibility of obtaining data after recovery, or as a bacasup
measure for unrecovered sasples.
Accuracy of telepetered data could be improved considerably by the following means:
(a) Use of a ose cone designed primarily for aeutron seasurepents and
having low-activatioa saterials throughoct;
(b) Selection of threshold detectors with half-lives of the order of a
few minutes and thresholds at energy levels of interest (if these can be
found); this would increase the sauple-activity-to-background ratio and also
aid ia isolation of desired activity froa recorded data;
(c} Use of separate pulse-height channels tor each type sample to diseviminate against woowted activities.
