PERSONAL RADIATION DETECTOR WITH DIRECTIONAL CAPABILITY

摘要

A portable, directional radiation detector includes a radiation detector that is positioned proximate a person's body. The user's body shields the radiation detector from radiation in at least one direction, thereby providing directionality to the radiation detector. The detector may be clipped to or strapped around any part of the body, such as the chest, waist, limb or ankle. It can also be clipped or straped to the head or a hat. Multiple directional detectors can be used to triangulate the position of a radiation source.
