And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If you buy one like this, you might have to keep it in an old microwave or emp proof container until you use is, because it does have sensitive electronics in it.
I was in west germany when the base grocery store was using these for test on fresh veggies due to Chernobyl. And the rejected food was never allowed in store but the vendor simple looked for another buyer wo a detector. Oh the Mad Cow Disease good ole days.
Sorry but you are NOT going to get a very accurate device for that price. In addition, without some training and knowledge the numbers you get aren't going to be much use. There are better devices available, they cost several hundred dollars but ACCURATE information is preferable.
Does what it's supposed to. These are meant to be worn by ppl who work around radiation every day. They turn them on at the start of the day and turn them in at the end so their cumulative dose can be measured. It will detect radioactive isotopes in the immediate vicinity too, though it's more for measuring cumulative dose, which is more relevant, imho. It's not really meant for pinpoint accuracy either but if something around is radioactive it will ɗefinitely detect it. It also has an alarm that will go off if the rate of accumulation crosses a certain threshold, which you can set. It's basically on-the-job safety equipment, so it's pretty sturdy and has long battery life, can easily last through an 8hr day before it needs a recharge. You can switch between: 1.) micro-Sieverts/hr ｵSv/h 2.) Grays per hour Gy/h 3.) milliRoentgen per hour mR/h 4.) Counts per second 5.) Counts per minute
Oh yeah, real useful! Kiss your arse goodbye if you detect anything!!! Lol
ReplyDeleteEver notice that "Nuland" & "Nuclear" almost sound the same?

ReplyDeleteFor what? Average joe can't spell microsieverts, let alone know what one is or how many is too much. And heaven forbid he tests a banana.
ReplyDeleteRadon gas?!?
