The Pancake style Inspector Alert is calibrated and only monitors Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and X-ray emissions. It does not pick up background radiation... Base reading inside was only 0.012 mR/hr (uSv/hr)... Outside in the snow pack was 5 times above base level at 0.064 mR/hr (uSv/hr)... Is anyone getting any HOT readings from this Snow Storm??? It would be interesting to see what States are being effected by this... Remember don't eat the HOT snow especially if there are Alpha particles in them... [/quote] What one do you recommend? I would like to get one. [/quote] The more accurate ones are the pancake style Geiger Counters. I have an Inspector Alert... [/quote]
