The following quote comes from a January 1951 UP press story: "The Civil Defense Administration so far has given approval to only one radiation detector-the "T one" developed for the army signal corps. There were also a few RADIAC instruments that had been developed for the military, and foremost among these was the AN/PDR T1 ion chamber. Model 2610 GM detector, a Juno ionization chamber, two Cambridge dosimeters, a Cambridge charging unit, and a film badge. For example, the AEC Emergency Monitoring Kit used at Hanford contained, in addition to miscellaneous supplies (e.g., gloves, coveralls), a Nuclear Instrument and Chemical Corp. What was available was a mix of commercial instruments and instruments developed for use at facilities operated by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC).
However, at the beginning of the decade there were no survey instruments specifically designed for civil defense purposes. federal government urged the states to obtain radiological instrumentation for use in the event of a possible nuclear attack.
