Description

A REMOTE RADIATION SENSING DEVICE
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a remote radiation sensing device. The present invention has particular but not exclusive application for a remote radiation sensing device for detecting radiation.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Radiation can be harmful. Sometimes it may be necessary for workers to enter a radioactive environment for work.
For those who work with or around radiation, one of the most important factors is an awareness of the levels of radiation around them.
Typically, radiation sensors are placed manually in a radioactive environment to detect the radiation. Typically, the detection results are read by workers manually.
One problem is that it is harmful to the worker’s health being exposed in a radioactive environment.
Another problem is that real time radiation data may not be recorded if workers aren’t in the radioactive environment.
