I use a Geiger counter in my work (we use p32, a beta emitter) and the counter does the job very well. Would your detector be able to pick up alpha particles? What is the expected cost relative to current counters?
Finally, for whom would this new counter be useful? In my work, it's not really important to have the detector tell us the kind of radiation because we already know what kind it is. What use cases are there for needing to instantly ID the type of radiation?
