What do they use to measure nuclear radiation?
Geiger meter
What instrument is used to detect radioactive matter?
Dosimeters detect and measure the cumulative ionizing radiation they see over time. Geiger counters detect the real-time flux of ionizing radiation at a specific location, and scintillators detect individual, real-time ionizing events and usually are constructed in a way to quantify variations in the ionizing energy. Usually, dosimeters are placed on or near an at-risk individual for a length of time to measure their total exposure, while Geiger counters are used by rad-techs to determine how safe an experiment is or if a dangerous event is occurring. Scintillators are used almost exclusively by experimentalists to collect and sort data at high resolution.
