It would take about 5 Rads per hour to do any serious injury... Still Alpha particles stay within the body and accumulate... [/quote] You need only one hot particle in your lungs to kill you (slowly) and Geiger counter won’t be able to detect it. But if it detects elevated radiation level, there is a chance that there may be hot particles around. [/quote]

Just for the hell of it, I took out my Inspector Alert to monitor the Radioactivity in this snow storm...
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...
