Review on RADEX RD1503 Dosimeter: Ensuring Accurate Radiation Detection by Badpuppy Warton

Probably the best geiger counters you can get for the price. The collection is quite slow and the interface is a bit clumsy, but figuring everything out isn't difficult. Laying is cheap, but it's not exactly a fashion accessory. It's not particularly durable, so don't drop it on the ground or expose it to the weather. Before you buy, however, make sure that the upper range of the device (9.99 µSv/h) is suitable for the intended use. If you're interested in food testing and other low-level radiation sources, this might be for you. On the other hand, if you buy it to be able to assess the effects of a large nuclear accident nearby, you may find this device insufficient since it reaches a maximum level that can still be fairly safe for long periods of time. Time. At 9.99 µSv/h, you're still under 90 mSv after a full year, and that probably doesn't even increase the risk of cancer, let alone more serious consequences. So if you're traversing a post-apocalyptic radioactive wasteland and want to be able to tell the difference between slightly radioactive patches and ones that could kill you in hours or days, this isn't the tool to have in your pocket. Radex One and Radex RD1212 operate at up to 999.9 μSv/h and are possibly the best option in this regard (although even 999 μSv/h does not pose an immediate threat to life).
