1. A personal radiation detection device, comprising:
- a body having a frontside and an opposing backside;
a window in said body, said window open to said frontside and said backside of said body; and
a radiation detection layer positioned in said window, said radiation detection layer comprising a material that will undergo a change in optical density, color, color intensity, electrical capacitance, electrical conductance or tensile strength upon exposure to ionizing radiation.

6. A method of performing triage based on an exposure level to nuclear radiation, comprising:
-
obtaining one or more personal radiation detection devices, each personal radiation detection device comprising; a body having a frontside and an opposing backside; a window in said body, said window open to said frontside and said backside of said body; and a radiation detection layer positioned in said window, said radiation detection layer comprising a material that will undergo a change in optical density, color, color intensity, electrical capacitance, electrical conductance or tensile strength upon exposure to ionizing radiation; and determining a radiation dose recorded by said radiation detection layer in each device based on a change in optical density, color, color intensity, electrical capacitance, electrical conductance or tensile strength of said radiation detection layer. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 19)
