Claim Text:
1. A radiation measurement system comprising: a single Geiger-Mueller tube for detecting one or more radiation particles; first control circuitry for controlling a voltage applied to the single Geiger-Mueller tube; a pulse counter for receiving radiation particle detection data from the Geiger-Mueller tube via the first control circuitry, converting the received radiation particle detection data to a pulse count; a rate detection module for receiving the pulse count and determining a radiation measurement rate therefrom; a clock management unit for providing timing controls including a clock signal and multiple time periods in synchronization therewith, the clock management unit supplying the timing controls to at least one timer; a rate feedback controller for receiving the radiation measurement rate from the rate detection module, determining in response thereto if a change in the clock signal should be made, and providing data regarding a determined change in the clock signal to the clock management unit; and multiple oscillators for maintaining the clock signal in response to instructions from the clock management unit.
