Zusammenfassung:A method of operating an electronic device including determining an initial charge level at a non-volatile charge storage structure of a radiation-sensitive device including a radiation-reactive material and determining if a first radiation event has occurred based upon the non-volatile charge storage device having a different charge level than the initial charge level. The method further includes identifying the first radiation event as associated with either a first type of radiation or a second type of radiation based upon the different charge level.
