1. A portable device for measuring radiation in-situ, comprising:
a cylindrical housing;
a phantom material within the housing representing an object or substance to be irradiated by an irradiator;
wherein the phantom material has density equivalence with the object or substance to be irradiated;
a radiation detector embedded within the phantom material, wherein the radiation detector measures an amount of exposure of the phantom material to radiation when an irradiation device emits the radiation within range of the phantom material;
a radiation-shielded battery associated with the portable device and providing power to the portable device; and
a processor configured to
receive a signal indicative of an amount of exposure of the phantom material to the radiation.
