Nuclear Instrumentation and Measurement

Nuclear Instrumentation and Measurement is the field that focuses on the tools and techniques used to detect and measure radiation, such as alpha, beta, and gamma rays, from nuclear materials. This involves developing instruments like Geiger counters, scintillation detectors, and dosimeters, which help monitor radiation levels for safety, medical applications, and research. These measurements are crucial in various fields, including medical imaging, environmental monitoring, and nuclear energy. By accurately detecting radiation, these instruments support informed decision-making and protect public health and safety.
