How to Measure Your Exposure to Nuclear Radiation: The Better Geiger Radiation Detector

(This revised version corrects decimal errors in the Geiger counter dose rates. As it turns out, the new numbers further enhance the advantages of the S-1.)

At around $150, the Better Geiger S-1 is the most affordable scintillation detector available for monitoring the level of nuclear radiation (x-rays and gamma rays) in your environment and measuring your accumulated energy dose over time. It is a worthwhile investment in your safety and education. (Note: The S-1 is not a Radon monitor and cannot measure Radon concentrations.)

This video evaluates the performance of the S-1 against traditional Geiger counters, and reviews both its strengths and weaknesses. It also explains why a Geiger counter is not always the best choice for measuring radioactivity. For more details, see: https://www.bettergeiger.com
