Civil Defense Radiation Meters- Things You NEED To Know

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


You have probably seen them on various surplus sites, ebay, or you may even own one.  Those big yellow boxes with an analog gauge on the front.  The image has become ubiquitous with a nuclear disaster.  These meters are still used by various government agencies to this day in some capacities and are accurate, reliable, and dependable.  Most of these meters were manufactured during the 60’s and 70’s when the US Government had a pro-active civil defense strategy.  But there are a few things that most people don’t know that could mean the difference between life and death if their instrument was ever called upon.

 

The first thing you need to know is that these meters require maintenance to work properly.  First and foremost, unless you are certain the instrument has been recently calibrated you have no idea whether it works or not until you need it.  Many of these meters have spent decades without being calibrated. Some of these meters are nearing 50 years old and things can happen.  Even if the meter was never used and it is advertised as “new in the box” it still may need calibration. Even if yours appears to work the readings you see may be way off and the difference between 1/r an hour and 100/r an hour can mean death.  Think of it this way, how would you feel if after a nuclear disaster if your meter was reading 500r/hr but in reality it was 5r/hr?  Knowing that 1 hour with that exposure would kill you I bet you would be pretty irrational.  Conversely, what happens if it was reading 5r/hr and it really was 500r/hr? You’d have a false sense of security and would stay put, exposing yourself to a lethal dose of radiation. Read More At TinHatRanch
