Abstract
A radiation-sensing assembly adapted for sensing radiation emitted from a source of radiation which may be non-coal layers (shale and other materials) in a coal mine tunnel. The sensor assembly incudes a housing forming an enclosure for a radiation-sensing medium. A cover is provided on the top of the lower portion of the housing, and radiation passes through the cover to impinge on the sensing machine. The cover includes a collimator, which is built into the cover, to direct the radiation from the source to the sensing medium.
