Re: [LUG] OT: Radiation detection

 


Anyone ever try something like this? Anyone detected any unexpected
sources of radiation. My guess, that whilst interesting, and possibly
educational, it'll be unlikely to reduce exposure significantly....

 Memories. In 1950s I was training folk to detect radiation as part of military excercises over Scotland. On way back I routed us back (deliberately) through my ancestal village of "Stronian", left geiger counters on in land rovers/champs and they went off scale. Background radiation (as I knew) was well beyond the 'safe limit'.  I keep rock from there on my desk at work  as paperweight.
