Abstract
A radiation detecting section including scintillation fibers is arranged in a one-dimensional, two-dimensional or three-dimensional manner. A multichannel amplitude analyzer can obtain an incident position of radiation in the radiation detecting section, and a radiation dose rate at the incident position depending upon a signal having amplitude according to a difference in arrival time between two input signals. A microcomputer carries out inverse problem analysis to estimate a radiation source distribution or a spatial radiation intensity distribution.
