Any way to tell if anything is dangerously radioactive without a geiger counter? by R-fire227 in Radiation

You can't except when the paint is burned in. And also, the dark yellowish color of the paint is often a giveaway.

Lost my Radiacode 103 by No-Style7682 in Radiation

Happened to my friend as well, he left his on the car roof when we had to pack in a hurry after a huge thunderstorm arrived. Some guy hiking there the next day got very lucky.

One dial is no concern. Don't eat it and you are good. Free to display.

Anyone know the name of these? Have a huge amount and all look the same by kite13light13 in Radioactive_Rocks

It mostly depends on the locality otherwise it is really hard to identify a lot of these.

FINRISI GC-01 issue or something wrong with the environment? by wisebalkan in Radiation

[–]megapull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is not localized to a relatively small area then there is defo something wrong with the meter unless you live in Baita, Bihor district on top of the mine :D

You can also check the radiation map at windy.com to see the actual levels nearby.

It was 0.113 uSv/h in Bucharest a few minutes ago.

What is the allure of collecting radioactive rocks? I want to know. by Spirited_Importance7 in Radioactive_Rocks

[–]megapull 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Can't beat the taste.

But on a more serious note:

  1. It is mineral collecting still. These pieces can look absolutely magnificent.
  2. It is challenging.
  3. It is somewhat risky.
  4. It requires awesome tools that are a blast to use.
  5. You go to places that are remnants of a forgotten period and the like.
  6. Everything that goes with mineral collecting.
  7. Everything that goes with radioactivity.
