  2. Civil defense Geiger counters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_defense_Geiger_counters

    This unit is quite sensitive and can be used to measure low levels of gamma radiation and detect beta radiation. In cases of high-radiation fields, the Geiger tube can saturate, causing the meter to read a very low level of radiation (close to 0 R/h) hence the necessity of the companion ion-chamber survey meters.
