The instrument you describe is called a dosimeter, incidently FDX is the only airline that issues dosimeters to its pilots. A dosimeter is a measuring device, most use a known crystilline structure and then measure its change. The change in structure is then compared to a charted value to calculate the amount of radiation the device / wearer was exposed to.

Mod Note:
This 2009 thread was inexplicably revived. I have no problem if the post that restarted a thread has value added, but if it simply rehashes old questions, it just means you're beating a lame horse. Grandpa used to shoot his lame horse. It was the only ethical and moral and humane thing to do.
