A supervisor spends a day inspecting a nuclear plant for potential radiation leaks. She has to move throughout the plant inspecting all the equipment and machinery. She needs to take two different radiation detection devices to help ensure her safety and to find radiation leaks. She needs the results immediately. Which two devices would be the best choices for the task?

Geiger counter and scintillation counter

Answer:

Geiger counter and scintillation counter

Explanation:

The Geiger counter was invented by Hans Geiger in 1908 to measure the levels of radiation in bodies and the environment, so it is one of the indispensable equipment for the inspector to detect radiation leaks in a nuclear power plant. It contains a tube with argon, which ionizes by being crossed by alpha and beta particles of radiation, closing the electric circuit and triggering the counter.

Similarly, a scintillation detector is an apparatus used to detect ionizing radiation. When something in the environment has been reached by radiation, this detector emits a small ray of light, indicating the radiation contamination.
