Here's a semi related article.  It almost sounds like the trick is in the 
software.  Could it be a variant of the reconstruction used in a CAT scan?

Supposedly "A handheld radiation camera":

Has anyone seen one of these work??

It seems the source SHOULD be credible but I can think of so many 
reasons it just cannot work!!  I mean a pocket pho gam camera???? 
really????

Even if it did - it would most certainly only be for VERY high 
fields/sources - certainly not the kind of thing "if formerly took weeks 
to find" as they allege.

AND certainly not applicable to Fukushima as they imply at least not 
outside the plant itself.

IF in fact this IS true - it certainly is interesting.
