The Alpha Guard system from Genitron uses an ionization chamber and has energy spectral capabilities and provides short-term assessment measurements (minimum response time of one minute) in addition to longer-term continuous monitoring. Another example of the 'sniffer' type system is available through Durridge Company the RAD7 instrument provides for both continuous monitoring and 'sniffer' modes. Pylon makes monitors and detectors that do provide quite rapid readings, such as the AB-5 monitor that may be used with a number of different detector types one of the most common for sniffing-type applications is the flow-through Lucas–type scintillation cell such as the 110A, 200A, and 300A models. Systems that provide a faster response generally require rather sophisticated sampling and measurement technology, and these often come with a commensurately higher price. The latter device is very inexpensive but requires about four hours before the first reading is acceptable. Examples of this type are the Sun Nuclear Model 1027, the Femto-Tech CRM-510LP, the Rad Elec E-Perm, and the Safe Home Products Safety Siren 3. Some systems are described as real-time or continuous monitors, but they often require a minimum of one hour, and often longer, before producing a first legitimate reading. If this is so, you may find that any of the systems that would be useful to you may be more expensive than you can justify, but you can make that decision.

It sounds as if you are probably not a professional who is doing measurements as a service. None of the manufacturer/model citations below should be interpreted as an endorsement of any particular product.

While there are numerous radon monitoring systems for performing short-term screening measurements, as well as long-term average concentration measurements, there are relatively few that meet your requirement of being able to provide an estimated value within a very short time, possibly none within the seconds that you specify.
