I am a bit concerned about my accumulated dosage as my Mom had TB when she was carrying me during the heyday of fluoroscopes, and my Dad and her doctor used to...
Look on the ORAU museum website. The dose from those shoe machines was horrible! Geo ... From: Dave McGraw (AL2I) To: GeigerCounterEnthusiasts@yahoogroups.com ...
I am a bit worried now. I had a FULL-BODY exposure TO AT LEAST AS MUCH ENERGY when I was in the womb -- MULTIPLE TIMES as my Dad recalls. From that article: ...
There is no point in worrying. You can't do anything about your prior exposure. You cannot take it back. You've been cruising for 52 years so far. A car...
There was some discussion in another group about a check source. The discussion has been deleated, so I am posting a question here. The check source was...
May I suggest a GEOelectronics CDV-666 for checking those symptoms: http://www.qsl.net/k0ff/CDV-666/CDV666%20txt.jpg and get a CDV-1701A for the kids, "Going...
Backscatter is nothing more than a reflection. When Beta particles strike an object they are either absorbed, pass through or bounce back. The Radium D+E or Pb...
Yes Jim, the presence of Betas would rule out Am-241. Radium, Thorium, Uranium etc. always has some Betas present and they can be determined by using a...
... If you want to verify it is Am241, you would check for the known gamma energies, 60 keV in particular, plus the lower energy lines. Think of it as a...
... p.s. One other easy way. Take a reading. Wait 138 days, take another reading. If the measured value is half, you have Po210, if it is the same, you more...
Last night I watched an episode of BBC's Horizon on "The Dirty Bomb", which got me thinking about how we could use our CDV700s to assess the situation and...
Linear No Threshold - There are two schools of thought on radiation, the first being any amount is dangerous (LNT), the second being hormesis (a little of what...
Oh, human exposure? Not my area. Geo ... From: Chris Cavanaugh To: GeigerCounterEnthusiasts@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, September 03, 2007 11:46 AM Subject:...
Actually; I really wonder if there is accurate post Chernobyl data on radiation exposure. Most of what I have read there is no accurate "hormetic dose" of...
Hi - I can tell you that a while ago, I went down the same road in trying to acquire a Alpha check source other than the short-lived Polonium-210 source. I...
I went through the house and checked just outside the case of all the smoke detectors with a 1x1 scintillation probe and the Am241 gamma reading was definitely...
I was thinking about the same thing, and I outfitted one of my CDV- 700's with a CDV RP pancake replacement probe, so I can read Alpha as well. It is an easy...
I don't know if these guys sell to individuals but, http://www.drct.com/dss/sources/alpha.htm sells a bunch of different types of sources, thier polonium ones...

I am sure most of you have been following the Chernobyl news media radiation protest views with mild disgust and find it hard to believe how much the...
Good point, but I actually did do something. The check source in my Victoreen's cap registers about 0.6-0.7 mR, so I moved it further from my desk and set a...
I guess the hope is that some of the Chernobyl data will answer such questions -- at least for the next generation -- as the data set of exposed individuals is...
