Radiation detectors can sense changes in temperature caused by a fire. When objects burn, they emit heat that can be picked up by sensors in the radiation detector. This increase in temperature triggers the alarm on the detector, alerting users to the presence of a fire.

What are the two devices that are used to detect nuclear radiation?

The two devices used to detect nuclear radiation are Geiger-Muller counters and scintillation detectors. Geiger-Muller counters measure ionizing radiation levels, while scintillation detectors use crystals to detect radiation and convert it into light pulses for measurement.
