ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for inhibiting measurement of nuclear radiation in a scintillation counter during periods of excessive background radioactivity produced, for example, by cosmic energy surges impinging on the scintillation counter. The count rate of a radioactive source or sample being measured is monitored and detector means are provided for detecting the occurrence of an energy surge exceeding a predetermined energy level. When a surge is detected, inhibit means inhibits counting for a time period which varies inversely with the count rate.
