I hope to God that I never need a radiation detector.

Hmmm....do I really need such a geek item????

I'm guessing it runs on batteries....but not sure......

.....And if you do....do you really want to buy on from HFT? A screwdriver is one thing, but a radiation detector is another.

Me too.

 

[Fallen Kell]

hehe... Man so I guess I am the only one who grew up with these things huh? (Then again, not everyone has someone who works for the Nuclear Regulatory Commision)...

in the 60s, may hand-held counters with analog meters were around.

chernobyl anyone?

 

[pspada]

Actually, you can attach one of these to a Mr Fusion (like in Back to the Future) for power!

 

[cleek]

ok - so where do I find the lead boxer shorts

 

[Spectre SE]

Never mind the 60-'s, those analog hand-helds are still being sold daily on e-gay...!

Radiation only right? I think I need a RF meter, they put a Sprint cell phone antenna on each side of our 8 story apartment building. They are supposed to beam out the front of the antenna only, but must have some level of side/back power. The damn thing is just outside the window of my bedroom, and the head of the bed is 4 feet from the antenna. I dont think that is safe, and need some way to get a signal reading and then a lawyer.

you can use a mircowave leakage detector/meter. I think RS carries them for cheap.

 

[frugal]

Better get one of these too, while you're at it: here

need all the protection you can get

lol

 

[ChuckSchick]

Umm.... HERE

Please note that this detector is for ionizing radiation only. Not going to do anyone much good for computers/electronics.

 

[pspada]

I find the very existence of those shorts to be extremely disturbing :Q

 

[Mallow]

hehe, this is definately something for the paranoid!

 

[ZippyDan]

so this wont work for microwaves?

~Zippy!

 

[Analog]

nope, you can get cheaper microwave leakage detectors/meters.

 

[Growltiger]

I think I need one of these to use on my cat's litter box. Judging from that animal leaves behind, it has to be radioactive, atomic poo.

 

[DestruyaUR]

Yay for pandering to national paranoia for a profit!

What's next, consumer purchasable atropine injectors? "Whether you've been exposed to nerve gas or just need a quick 'pick me up,' this atropine/pralidoxime blend will make sure you make it through an area of dying people OR through your next big business meeting!"

 

[dionx]

i work with those every week. it's no big deal. although in a few weeks, we get to use actually use the nuclear reactor at my school. not sure for what just yet.

 

[ZippyDan]

where can i get microwave leakage detectors for cheaper? not that i want a cheap one, i want something reliable and accurate called Radio Shack and they said they dont carry anything like that...?

~Zippy!

 

[ZippyDan]

i found this on a lot of sites for 29.95
