radiation survey meter

A radiation survey meter is a device used to detect and measure radiation levels in an environment. It helps identify the presence and strength of radioactive materials or sources, ensuring safety in workplaces, hospitals, or areas where radiation is used. The meter typically emits a reading in units like microsieverts or counts per second, providing quick feedback to assess if radiation levels are safe or require precautions. It is a vital tool for workers and inspectors to monitor and prevent harmful radiation exposure effectively.
