A Radiation Counter is a passive sensor indicating the presence and intensity of radioactivity in the immediate vicinity. It may form part of a Ship Sensor Suite.
A radiation counter is used to detect radioactive emissions, most commonly beta particles and gamma rays. It can be preset to give a warning signal if the levels of radioactivity rises to dangerous levels. Readouts are given in specifics for (and in terms of danger to) the Sophont species that created the device: most commonly this readout is preset to safe human tolerances. A radiation counter is generally set to ignore normal background radiation.
Basic models of Radiation Counter are the size of a liter bottle, while more sophisticated models are typically palm-sized. The Advanced Radiation Counter is a wrist-mounted version designed to be worn on the person or attached to the exterior of a Vacc Suit. Battery life is around 200 hours for TL–8 (or lower) models, and several weeks for more advanced models. Radiation Counters have a visual readout. More advanced models can be connected to computers for data analysis of radiation exposure.
