This invention is an ionizing radiation detector, disclosed to include a sensor of ionizing radiation, an electric current amplifier, a radiation level readout device, and a piezoelectric device.. This readout device could be, but not limited to, a meter, a sound-producing device, or light emitting diodes (LEDs). The ionizing radiation sensor produces an electric current in the sensor. This current is amplified by the amplifier. The amplified current is sent to the readout device, which indicates the level of the ionizing radiation dose rate. The piezoelectric device produces a sound when the ionizing radiation level exceeds a preset level. The existing prototypes utilize a photodiode as the sensor, an electric current amplifier, LEDs as the readout, and the piezoelectric device. |
