Abstract

Radiation monitoring around the human environment has become one of Indonesia^s research priorities for the next few years. This monitoring is important because Indonesia has many medical and industrial facilities that utilize nuclear technology, so that, it is expected to prevent leakage of nuclear materials and other things that can have an impact on humans. In environmental monitoring, the selection of the right radiation detector is one of the important points. In this paper, we will review the development of nuclear radiation detectors, with an emphasis on applications for environmental monitoring. It will also explain the state of the art and the limitations of each detector so that developments that may be possible can be seen in the future.
