radiation monitoring

Measuring nuclear emissions

Radiation monitoring is the systematic measurement of ionizing radiation levels in an environment, material, or living organism.

Devices like Geiger counters and dosimeters detect exposure from nuclear facilities, medical equipment, or natural sources.

Workers in nuclear plants wear badges for personal radiation monitoring.

Environmental radiation monitoring tracks contamination after accidents like Chernobyl or Fukushima.
