ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus of defining a time interval includes providing a source of ionizing radiation that radiates emissions thereof; placing a radiation sensitive display material responsive to ionizing radiation in a close proximity relationship to the source of ionizing radiation whereby the radiated emissions of the source strike the radiation sensitive display material, thereby commencing a time interval; and, measuring changes in characteristics of the radiation sensitive display material that are indicative of the elapsed time.
