Nuclear‐Energized Turbidity Monitor for Treatment Plants
The article discusses what is possibly the first application of nuclear energy to water treatment plants in the form of a target for monitoring turbidity after dark. This target is an embedded luminous disc which emits light through the activation of a phosphor by ß‐rays from krypton 85. This device is completely self contained and self sufficient, needing no external current or power pack. Light level is constant enough for purposes of qualitative determination. Radiation hazards are inconsequential, although the proper regulatory agency should be contacted prior to acquisition.
