Abstract
This paper demonstrates the feasibility of a portable gamma radiation monitoring system, based on the Anderson current loop circuit, where nickel oxide (NiO) thick films are used as radiation-sensing elements. A cost effective prototype system was developed for remote ionising radiation monitoring that is required to minimise the necessity for human interaction and consequently prevent possible exposure
