Simple multi-layer radiation detection?

Affordable, clean and readily available

A look at a potentially elegant way to detect radiation using widely available instant film in a non-standard way.

Using photographic film in this way is advantageous as it can capture emissions from a large area over a long period of time allowing for accumulation of sporadic or low probability interactions.
