    Fun things to play with during hospital visits.
    Made in Ukraine.

    This is interesting:
    Many manufacturers of dosimeters do not disclose which Geiger counter in the dosimeter. But it is the heart of the dosimeter. They put a cheap and weak Geiger counter. How can you check? They hide the counter inside. Our counter you can see through the dosimeter. We have an expensive and high-quality Geiger counter. You can see max size of our Geiger counter.

    We have no competitors on the price.
    Buy ours cos everyone elses is tulip.

    *ZeitMater's radioiodine treatment sent it apetulip crazy, so it really does detect stuff.

    No. It's in a "the amount of radiation, though detectable is still very very tiny". Perhaps the guy with the Geiger counter was smoking a cigarette?

    However, looking at the plumes of fallout from the Nevada atmospheric tests in the 1940s & 50s, I don't suppose there's much to worry about from Fukushima.

    Even I don't have a Geiger counter. Yet.

    A 500% increase in gigas is certainly worth writing home about. That's could be as much as half a tera.

    Whether a 500% increase in radioactivity is worth worrying about depends on the baseline it's being compared with. 150 counts per minute is apparently less than you get from flying, so probably not a big deal.

    started a topic More Fukushima lies

    More Fukushima lies

    BBC News - North American scientists track incoming Fukushima plume

    But scientists stress that even the peak measurements will be well within the limits set by safety authorities.
    Really. Would those be the same safety levels Obama raised last year?

    Activist Post: Obama Approves EPA's Higher Radiation Exposure Levels for U.S. Population

    According to a statement by PEER (Public Employees For Environmental Responsibility) published on the organization’s website on April 8, 2013, Barack Obama has given final approval for the EPA’s attempt to raise radiation levels in soil and water following “radiological incidents.”
    And of course if anyone takes their own gigacounter to the beach and records a 500% increase in radiation levels that's just nonsense right?

    Officials reject concerns over 500 percent radiation increase on California beach ? RT USA

    Throughout the course of the seven-minute-long clip, a man tests out his Geiger counter radiation detector while walking through Pacifica State Beach outside of San Francisco. At times, the monitor on the machine seems to show radiation of 150 counts-per-minute, or the equivalent of around five times what is typically found in that type of environment.
