Going Nuclear: Notes from the officially unofficial book tour
I work in the analytical labs at one of Europe’s oldest and largest nuclear sites: Sellafield, in northwestern England. I spend my days at the fume hood front, pipette in one hand and radiation probe in the other (and dosimeter pinned to my chest, of course). Outside the lab, I have a second job: I moonlight as a writer and public speaker. My new popular science book—Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the World—came out last summer, and it feels like my life has been running at full power ever since.

A CAMAC system encompassing an experimental station consisting of coincidence circuits, delay lines, high-voltage power supplies, scalers, and control modules is described. The experimental station, as well as an autonomous system with programming units and a computer-controlled system, can be controlled. Specific task CAMAC modules were developed for the system, while some other control modules were adapted for use in the experimental station. The application for timing of the coincidence circuit with a time resolution of 1 ns is given and the procedure of autonomous control is described.
