Özet
In this study, a portable radiation measurement system which has a microprocessor-controller was developed for uranium discovery. The developed system has the feature of saving the counting data from a Geiger-Mueller detector and position data from a global positioning system. The pulses obtained from the detector were transferred into a counting input of a microprocessor via a pulse shaper. Evaluation of the pulses has been performed by microprocessor's software. The results obtained from the developed radiation detection system were compared with those of a calibrated reference detector system. The developed system has some important features such as low current consumption, low cost, small size and lightness.
