Film badge.

A film badge is an integrating dosimeter that records cumulative radiation exposure over time, so it can be attached to a large moving object and analyzed later. A scintillation counter gives real‑time counts and needs continuous monitoring or proximity to the object, so it's less practical when constant observation isn't possible.
