PCT No. PCT/FR93/00729 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 6, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 6, 1995 PCT Filed Jul. 16, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/02868 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 3, 1994An apparatus for sensing and locating sources of ionizing radiation retained in a turnout in a body environment, including a hand-held probe and comprising a housing with a sensor circuit for outputting a response to interaction between the radiation and the sensor; a unit for processing signals from the sensor circuit; and an indicator responding to driving signals applied thereto by generating an audible or visual output. Said hand-held probe comprises at least one scintillating plastic optical fibre (2) connecting the sensing end to a light sensor (1).
