Which device is specifically used for gamma radiation testing on ships?

• A. Shipboard RADIACS
• B. Dosimeter
• C. Geiger Counter
• D. Calibration Device

Answer: (A)

The essential idea is having an integrated, real-time system that monitors gamma radiation across the ship so you can map contamination and guide responses. Shipboard RADIACS provides that capability on vessels, acting as the dedicated gamma radiation monitoring network with detectors, alarms, and data to sweep compartments, identify hotspots, and support decontamination decisions. It’s designed for the shipboard environment and the needs of damage control, giving the crew actionable information about where radiation levels are high and how they change over time. A dosimeter, by contrast, measures the dose an individual accumulates over time, not the environmental radiation map you need for testing. A Geiger counter is a handy handheld tool for spotting radiation and rough indications, but it isn’t the integrated shipwide monitoring system used for formal gamma testing. A calibration device is used to verify instrument accuracy, not to perform environmental surveys.
