I’ve used troxler portable nuclear soil density readers when I was a civil engineer doing site inspections.
I’m assuming it’s something similar.
I had a radiation badge which never showed anything. We know the badges worked because someone stored the badge with the nuclear device which caused them to be quite alarmed when that test came back. Keeping distance reduces exposure.
We had to have paperwork from the US regularitiry commission to transport it from site back to office. I remember it was stored in a giant orange box which we tied down in the back of our truck.
Looking it seems like new models are designed not to need that.
