Abstract
A high-energy radiation survey system capable of imaging and determining the distances of, sources of incident radiation and of determining the energy of such radiation, incorporating a shaped radiation detector shield and detector configured therein for low-noise collimation of the radiation for directional mapping. The system is capable of being mounted on a remotely controllable vehicle and of being operated from an operator's station remote from radiation hazards. The system can be used to generate high resolution radiation dose maps superimposed on a real-time video image of a room or other areas in nuclear power plants and other facilities using radioactive material.
