1/22/2013 -- ☢ Radiation Test -- Snow -- St.Louis Missouri -- 66.4 CPM ☢

My youtube channel dedicated to covering Radiation Testing: http://www.youtube.com/dutchsinCe

Temp: 16F / -8C -- Winds out of the NW between 5-10 mph , Humidity 77%

Location, South Saint Louis, Missouri

Alert Level from the Radiation Network is approx. 100CPM (counts per minute)

Results in St. Louis today: 66.4 CPM and 60.0 CPM

The counter on the left picked up a bit more than the counter on the right hand side.. I suppose this is due to uneven distribution of radioactive elements in the snow or on the ground beneath the snow.

---------------------------

I have assembled radiation links from around the world to use here, plus two good charts to show exposure level limits:

special thanks to International Medcom for donating the 2nd Inspector Alert digital Geiger counter: here is the full post with their information ..

convert CPM to uS/v or mS/v here:

quote:

"For those who prefer to use Sieverts, 108 CPM is about 1 uSv/hr for C060, and for Cs137 it is around 120 CPM per 1 uSv/hr. "

how much radiation is too much? here is a chart to see:

Also, Thanks to my viewers back in March/April 2011 -- who donated to get the other set of geiger counters !!!
