Overview 

Radiation meters, also known as radiometers or dosimeters, are essential devices for detecting and measuring radiation levels in various environments. These instruments help monitor exposure to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, ensuring safety in medical, industrial, and research applications. In India, radiation monitoring is crucial in sectors such as healthcare, nuclear energy, manufacturing, and environmental protection.
