HootinNHollerin@quokk.auto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How did people treat radio active material before they knew what radio activity was?English3·7 months agoThanks for feedback for a sense of severity. If I understand correctly, dosimeter have different time constants and I think this one was pretty cheap/slow, meaning the actual level is higher. The instructions said you have to hold it there for a minute for the reading to be accurate. We didn’t do but 10-15 seconds to get the 11 as I didn’t wanna be around it anymore

It was this I think Fiestaware. After reading about its doses that sounds right. I remember now the meter was 11 mR/hr which on the dosimeter was no longer clicking but pretty solid on.

A friend got one at an antique store and we did this like a year ago. Can’t remember the dose per minute or hour but I looked it up at the time and it was higher than getting a dental X-ray. And people drank out of them on the daily back then not to mention holding it in your hand and having it next to your bed potentially for decades. So don’t buy antiques that are a bright orange paint
