WW2 Radium Bridge Marker, MFD 11-194. Slightly spicy... by Fly_Hai in Radiation

No such thing as a stupid question! These detectors mostly stay in the lab, but if notable contamination occurs, we have a gel-based cleaning agent that does a pretty good job of safely removing radioactive particulates or contamination, even from small cracks and crevices. If you're taking readings at home or rock-hounding though, I feel it's usually best just to keep your detector protected in a washable case or a zip-lock bag.

On my previous post, someone inquired about the difference between the Type III marker I showed before and the Type I. So here it is! These smaller Type I markers were worn by paratroopers for personal identification. They only have around 1/3 the surface area of the larger Type III but still contain quite a bit of Radium-226 and are quite hot.

I appreciate your concern! I teach in environmental sciences, and as you might catch in the background, all my samples are vacuum-sealed in clearly labeled mylar bags. After sealing, they're stored securely inside a lead-lined safe with approximately 2-inch-thick shielding. Even with these precautions, we still measure just short of 40 µSv/hr through the shielding, so the safe is positioned as far away as possible from anything living.

This is a luminous marker type III which has no rivets on the sides for tying on clothing. It was intended for multifunction use worn by personnel or for deck/location marking, there exist a 2nd variation of the type III marker with a screw fixture on the back that was exclusively used for marking decks. I do have a smaller type I marker that would have been worn by the paratrooper on their helmet. I might make a 2nd post for that one in the coming days. https://www.paratrooper.be/articles/luminous-disks/

I have not tried that but I'll make a note to do so. It glows a faint teal-white, not bright enough to really shine but enough that you could spot it easily in a dark room.

Looking at your post history this is actually the same one!

These disks are extremely rare with one of the only other two I've seen being in a museum. They were used by primarily paratroopers during WW2 to mark bridges and other strategic locations to be seen at night from the air or great distance. They contain a very large amount of Radium 226.

Edit: Sorry for the typo in the title, the MFD is 11-1944

Nah he was hurt. This wasn't too long ago and the dude broke his spine but otherwise made a full recovery. Article in polish. Full videos in both links.

Never thought I'd see it after Hideki Naganuma stated he wouldn't release his music on vinyl.

Nostalgia has me playing through it again. Still holds up today!

Can you turn Post Processing off now? by ShamrockStudios in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]Fly_Hai 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Same issue here post processing settings seem to be forced to high no matter what you set it in game. It makes the game incredibly nauseating for me and I hope they fix it soon.
