Radiation around the home.

The Ludlum 3 Survey meter with a 44-9 probe a Gammascount and a Ludlum Model 19 MicroR. The Gammascout is the dosimeter function to measure accumulated radiation. You still need two types survey meters for proper radiological activity surveying for contamination etc. A MicroR survey meter and a GM survey meter. I use Geigerbot to do counts etc.. at http://www.geigerbot.com/

4 pictures simulate the detection of a Dirty Bomb, showing the difference between a GM and a Scintillation probe.

The best radiation measurement tools are at http://www.ludlums.com they are made in the USA
