Geiger counter and scintillation counter.

Both are portable, give immediate real-time readings, and are well suited to surveying for leaks (GM for count rates of beta/gamma, scintillation for greater sensitivity and gamma energy information). A cloud chamber is qualitative, slow, and impractical for routine plant inspections.
