Polyhedral-shaped radiation counter
View Patent ↗Provided is a polyhedral-shaped radiation counter which measures a radiation level of a radioactive material, in which sensor modules configured to measure the radiation level are disposed at vertexes of a polyhedral shape, respectively, and the sensor modules are connected to each other by rod-shaped frame members disposed in edge positions of the polyhedral shape and face parts of the polyhedral shape form an open space.
