If you're interested in the exposure rate as close to the surface as practical,
I would suggest the use of appropriately calibrated TLDs.

Subject:  Question -Exposure rate measurement




I am trying to figure out the best way to measure the exposure rate at the
surface of a small lead pig containing about 20 mCi of Tc99m.  The pig
dimensions are 1 inch in diameter by 7 inches tall.  Any suggesions on the
best instrument/method to use?
