Your gamma survey meter displays the radiation dose rate to which you are being exposed. This is vital information for all operators. In addition to allowing you to avoid high-level radiation exposures, knowing the dose rate allows you to make some very useful calculations based on the physical laws radiation. 3, record 1, English, - gamma%20survey%20meter

Le gammamètre indique le débit de dose qu'une personne reçoit. Il s'agit d'un renseignement crucial pour tous les opérateurs. Si ce dispositif peut permettre d'éviter l'irradiation excessive qui peut résulter de fortes intensités de rayonnements, il indique aussi le débit de dose à partir duquel l'opérateur peut effectuer certains calculs très utiles en se basant sur les lois physiques des rayonnements. 2, record 1, French, - gammam%C3%A8tre
