Radiation Detectors

Radiation detectors are devices that identify and measure radiation levels in the environment or materials. They work by sensing particles or energy emitted by radioactive sources, such as gamma rays or neutrons. Common types include Geiger counters, which produce a clicking sound when radiation is detected, and scintillation detectors, which emit light signals that are converted into electrical signals for measurement. These tools are essential for safety in nuclear power plants, medical facilities, and research, helping to monitor radiation exposure and ensure environments remain safe for people and the environment.
