Could a creature evolve to have a biological Geiger Counter?

I was thinking of a situation in which a creature lives in a region in which the levels of radioactivity varies from harmless to lethal from place to place and time to time. It takes millions of years for the radioactivity of this place to become unpredictable so that creatures can adapt to it over time. Could a creature in this region evolve to have a sensory organ for detecting particle radiation as a survival strategy?
