[Swreq] Modification of FEL Rapid access system in vault for measuring neutrons this week

[Melvin Washington]

Test radiation monitor RM212 is up and running.  The epic signal names 
are, rad212_p1 neutron and rad212_p2 gamma.  Channel three is not 
connected; however, if you wanted to take advantage of the fact that 
it's available, just let myself or John know.
