ABSTRACT:
A package for shielded handling of a detector element and for selective exposure of said detector element to radiation, typically in radon detection of emitted alpha particle radiation, is provided in a unitary assembly. The package provides a support structure for securement of a detector member within the package and includes a shielding structure for selective insulation of the detector member in a shielding position of the support structure to prevent background irradiation of the detector member during handling and transport to and from the irradiation monitoring location. The package provides selective exposure of the detector element to irradiation in an exposing position of the support structure at the monitoring location. The package is provided with transport structure for relatively moving the support structure with the detector member so that the detector member can be selectively displaced between shielding and exposing positions. The package thus accommodates both convenient transport and monitoring exposure of the detector member without requiring the monitoring user to employ additional equipment. The package can be erected from a unitary blank of foldable material such as die-cut paperboard, and includes a self-supporting base structure for supporting the package in a standing configuration which exposes the detector member during radiation monitoring.
