The guide takes us to a point just outside the reactor where the geiger counter gets active. We are allowed to stay no more than 10 minutes or so at this distance from the reactor, and no more than about 40 minutes in the Chernobyl/Pripyat area.

  • That IS a Geiger counter, as it uses a Geiger-Müller tube; GM is not a range. Second, it can also technically be a "radiac" which is a NATO-derived acronym for "radioactivity, detection, indication, and computation". The machine can ALSO be called a dosimeter, as it reads a doserate unit, like Rems or Sieverts. I, personally, own several Geiger counters, several dosimeters, and several cold-war era lab&military-grade US 'radiacmeters', so I know these terms. You seem very mal- or un-informed.

  • The trick to maintaining a healthy life around all that radiation is Cossacks vodka.

  • Now where is the god damn Wish Granter?

  • @JKNIP15 Of course they are. :D

  • What numbers are bad for you. The ones like .453 Or 1.536? I just want to know. Already know what kinds of radiation are bad for you.

  • Astronauts: 25,000 Millirems

    The highest recommended limit for radiation exposures is for astronauts-25,000 millirems per Space Shuttle mission, principally from cosmic rays. This amount is beyond the average 300+ millirems of natural sources of radiation and any medical radiation a person has received.

    A version of this article appeared in the January 5, 1994 issue of MIT Tech Talk (Volume 38, Number 18)

    So 05.11 isn't such a big deal as it seems, just 200 more than average radiation.

  • 7 secounds ? what the hell

  • @wtm2626 rads lol. i dont think they are playing fallout

  • What a good job he has! Probly takes in 500 rads a day!
