How to Check for Radiation (from Fukashima)

Fukashima has been touted as the death of the world .. others poo-poo it.

Why take the chance ? Get / make a geiger counter.

Years ago I purchased a kit, started with it,purchased a russian ion tube, purchased a different kit, - they both have sat..

Now it's time to finish, and I hope to get encouragement from the community to do this !!!

(this is an ongoing 'able and this is the start of it )

But wait, it is declared by 'officials' that there are "safe spots " \!

These are available mostly online - I have not seen any walk-in store like radio shack that has something like this to put together - You can buy from on-line, already assembled for ^$. I have not seen any store that sells a geiger counter without it being extremely costly.

I am not going to list a bunch of soldering tools needed to assemble the kit, as it is presumed you have done this and have these if you are attempting to put a kit together.

Notice in this particular kit, it is missing the tube.
