This interest is either generated through medical<br \/>\nprocedures, applications of nuclear energy or nuclear accidents. The technical nature of these<br \/>\ntopics usually means that they are not well covered in the normal education stream, opening many<br \/>\nopportunities to engage with schools and the general public to showcase the latest developments and<br \/>\ntheir applications. The detection of radiation is at the very heart of understanding radiation, its<br \/>\nfascination and associated fears. The outreach group of the nuclear physics group at the University<br \/>\nof Glasgow demonstrates a number of successful outreach activities centred around radiation<br \/>\ndetection and described in this paper, focusing on activities delivered to a variety of audiences<br \/>\nand related to applied nuclear physics work within our group.
