RadBall

 Radball is a 140 mm (5½”) diameter deployable, passive, non-electrical gamma hot-spot imaging device that offers a 360 degree view of the deployment area. This device has two constituents, a gamma radiation sensitive inner core placed inside spherical tungsten and an outer collimation sheet. The inner core has some gamma radiation sensitive material, so it changes its color when exposed to gamma radiation. Thus, when the device is put into a radioactive environment, the collimation device allows gamma radiation to pass through its collimation holes and thus deposits tracks in the inner core. These tracks are analyzed to provide 3-D visualization of the radioactive environment. This technology is widely applicable to nuclear decommissioning) application. For instance, they are used  where the radiation fields inside a nuclear facility  are unknown but required in order to plan a suitable nuclear decommissioning strategy.
