Abstract

A radiation monitoring system and method characterized by the use of paired active and passive radiation detectors to monitor exposure to a radiation field. The active detector provides an output representative of radiation exposure on a real time basis while the passive detector is readable on a delayed basis after exposure to radiation for a period of time to provide an output representative of radiation exposure over said period of time. Respective readers are provided for extracting the radiation exposure information from the detectors, as is a processor which determines a quantity of radiation exposure from the radiation information extracted from the detectors. The processor corrects radiation exposure data derived from one of the detectors using radiation exposure data derived from the other of the detectors.
