Hi from St. George, Utah

Post by johnnycups » 16 Dec 2022, 07:58

Hi,

I recently got into GRS and am having a great time learning. I was trained as a EE but never worked as one- I got into networks and Cisco and Juniper and all that. Nuclear stuff always fascinated me. I maybe should have been a nuclear engineer but that did not appear to be a rosy future in 1985. For my penultimate job I had wide access to the Nevada test site and that was very cool. So anyway, I have a GS-PRO and a 1.5" Scionix and it's looking good. I am going to build a 2" and a 63mm detector and then maybe another GS-PRO and try some coincidence counting.

Oh yeah and I got canned by my employer of 6 years on Monday! A 5% workforce reduction.. It's OK I can draw social security and we saved. And I can spend all day on this stuff now.

I just found the "Highly useful and informative documents" post of 2015 and downloaded that stuff. I had spent time last night looking for a PDF of the Heath data from 1964. I did find it at UPenn I think but it was on the GS site the whole time along with some other great PDFs. I like the Heath data from 1963 with the 3"x3" because it looks like what I can reproduce in 2022! I'm only 60 years behind.

Hi John,

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you have spent your time well, the IT business must have had a good run. Next on your list, the inner workings of the atomic nucleus, a final frontier 😉

Share your work on the forum and reach out if you have any questions, someone here might be able to help.

See you around..

Steven
