Abstract: This paper gives a brief descriptive overview of the basic concepts and factors involved in the origin, detection and measurement of radiation in the environment associated with the nuclear power industry. As we shall see, the detection of radiation always involves the interaction of radiation with matter in one way or another. tions of matter. Therefore, we shall start with some elementary descrip- We shall also describe current concepts about the way radiation originates in radioactive matter and review the main characteristics of the various kinds of radiation. Then some details of the interactions of radiation with matter will be described. Finally, the applications of the interactions to make radiation sensors will be outlined.
