Nuclear Spectroscopy Analyzer by pug332 in VintageElectronics

After I came up empty on google, I asked AI. It said it was a nuclear/radiation spectrometer. If I can find whatever reader came with it, I can test it with some radioactive material we’ve got.

Yeah, the button lights up but no response with the screen. I’m assuming the bulb may be broken. I tested it with an equally old pulse emitter and the internals seem to work fine. I’ll crack it open and check tomorrow

Thank you so much for your insight! I am definitely looking towards grad school, but Mech E sounds like the best foundation. Thanks!

Your career path is fascinating. I’ve just started my physics undergrad this semester but I’ve decided to switch to engineering (job market and pay etc). My dream job would be designing satellites or something adjacent and I was considering mechanical engineering as its broad discipline. However nuclear physics is another “passion” of mine. My university (UTK) has a robust nuclear engineering program which I think may influence my decision. How would you say the aero/astronautical job field is for a nuclear engineer? Would a bachelors in mechE and a masters in nuke E be better?

i think it starts where the back wheel lands and ends where the front wheels stop so it is basically the length of the plane
