Re: [Phys-l] Geiger counter

Speaking of Geiger counters ... does anyone have a link or information about the actual radiation counts in Japan? The New York times mentioned a 1000 milli Sievert measurement of leaking water yesterday but I haven't seen many actual numbers. They have said things like 1/88 th of a chest x-ray etc. but actual measurements? How "hot" is the food that is being taken off the market?

With the nuclear plant disaster in Japan, I wanted to get a Geiger counter
to show my students. I have an old/yellow deflection type (not sure it
even works). I am looking for a "modern" one, relatively small, with audio
clicks, and maybe a digital display. Does anyone know of "good" models on
the market, companies that sell them, and approximate costs?
