State two advantages and two disadvantages of radiation type level measurement.
Advantages:
1. Quite suitable for large reservoirs of 30-40 m diameter. 2. Continuous measurement is possible. 3. Non-contact device. 4. Measurement is independent on temperature, pressure, corrosion, etc. 5. Rigid construction and withstand severe operating conditions.
Disadvantages :-
1. It is risky to use this method due to radiation effects. 2. Adequate shielding is required to limit the radiation field intensity
