Actioncam in radioactive waste dump

[@binky_bun]

You need a small geiger counter to lower down the hole. I'd be really interesting to see what the level is at the bottom

[@thesciencefurry]

Yeah, It would be xp But I only have my selfmade one. Which is to big. And for now I won't buy a geiger counter. But I'm planning to build a gamma spectrometer.

@@thesciencefurry if I ever come across one that's suitable I'll let you borrow it. I did see a video recently where a guy had one the size of a large marker pen which would be perfect. I'll have to see if I can find the make and model

Interessantes und risikoreiches Vorhaben! ^^ Im Geigerzählerforum gibt es auch schon einen Thread zu dieser früheren Uranaufbereitung. Die Aktivität werden die Zerfallsprodukte des aus den Tailings ausgasenden Radons verursachen. Wie tief war denn die Kamera bis zu der Flasche? Hier bei uns in Ostthüringen haben die Aufbereitungsrückstände in den Absetzbecken Mächtigkeiten von ca. 60-70 Meter.

That’s honestly amazing!

Shame to see the bottles dumped down there. How many Roentgens were you reading from that, roughly?

[@thesciencefurry]

Unfortunately I can't tell. I would have to calculate that roughly. But with a normal geiger counter you can only approximate it. But I'm planning to build a gamma spectrometer someday.

[@jimmyrustler8983]

@@thesciencefurry I'd wager that it's a lot 🤣 Also, good luck on hunting that Uranium! Lots of cool projects you can do with that stuff 👍

[@Electronichub_05]

Very interesting but kinda sad that people throw their trash into there and also where is this place?

[@thesciencefurry]

Ah damn I wanted to say that in the video :p It's in Germany close to where I live.

[@Electronichub_05]

@@thesciencefurry ah ok, I'm German too haha Aren't there some in aue too?

[@thesciencefurry]

@@Electronichub_05 A cool. Idk. There probably are a lot of radioactive places, I always wanted to go to the black forest, because apparently you can get some uranium ore pretty easily there.

[@Electronichub_05]

@@thesciencefurry I think i got some before, I looked it up and it looked exactly like uranium ore but my dad threw it out cause he said it was dangerous. I need to build a Geiger counter too
