Instrument simulator system

A health physics instrument simulator system permitting an operator to simulate measurement of radiation levels of a plurality of radiation types, said system comprising:

• a first storage device for storing data corresponding to an n dimensional training space representing a predetermined physical location;
• a second storage device for storing data defining at least one radiation source including source strength, source type and source location with respect to said training space stored in said first storage device;
• a third storage device for storing radiation intensity data based on said at least one radiation source, each of said radiation intensity data corresponding to a respective location in said training space;
• a selecting device for selecting one of a plurality of predetermined simulated radiation sensing instruments;
• a pointing device for identifying a location within said training space defining a current location of a selected one of said simulated radiation sensing instruments;
• and
• a display for displaying both an instrument display corresponding to said selected one of said simulated radiation sensing instruments and radiation intensity data corresponding to said current location in said training space.
