This communication reports the first experimental results obtained from new type of passive Hydrogen-Pressure Dosimeters for the remote measurement of nuclear radiation. Technological and experimental analyses are performed here to demonstrate the proof-of-concept. Radar measurements of irradiated and non-irradiated passive dosimeters are also reported and confirm the feasibility of the remote reading of such passive sensors. A new design is proposed for minimizing the impact of technological inaccuracies on sensors performances and for facilitating the packaging.
