Description

A concise report deals with the possibilities, limits, sensitivities and prices of different radiation detector types: 1) Geiger counter for gamma detection, 2) dose ratemeters, 3) portable contamination monitors, 4) combined dose rate and contamination meters, 5) laboratory test assemblies to determine gamma activity (for instance of Cs-137).
