Chernobyl fallout in Mushrooms!

[@KyivandChornobyl]

Thanks for the film, good job! The Chernobyl events are both my hobby and work (I'm the authorized guide to Chernobyl zone). I am happy to discuss this topic with those who are interested in it.

Hello, have you heard about the fungus, Cladosporium sphaerospermum, that is 'eating' or reducing the radioactive elements inside the cooling tower? I'm looking for anyone who might know if the fungus will remove tritium from tritiated water?

I’m from Goiânia-Goiás-Brazil and we have Caesium-137 contamination all over the city in 1987

Cool video

Thank you!

Hi, how much you paid for the gamma spectrometer and where did you get it?

[@allRadioactive]

Im an internal tester for this product so I got the unit earlier. They should start shipping within a month or so if everything goes to plan. My unit is the most accurate with FWHM

@@allRadioactive Interesting video. I am suprised that this is the first time i have seen this scintilator. And it seems to be quite a good deal regarding to its cost. Do you recomand it? From an engineer point a view i think it was very difficult to get the whole components in that small case and i am wonder how mneasurement is affected by vibrations (we learned that scintilators are fragile and sensitive devices). Is there any schematic whats inside? And Its usefull to know information like where is detector :D

[@Pronuxish]

@@allRadioactive and dont you know, how extensive is radionuclide database? And (i am sorry for my questions), can this device be manually calibrated?

[@allRadioactive]

@@Pronuxish Hey, thanks for writing! I personally think that RAYSID is one of the best ways of getting into gamma spectroscopy without breaking the bank. It is much cheaper than more "proffesional" options out there but it is still very accurate and portable! Answering your questions: 1) RAYSID is pretty solid. Just don't drop it on concrete floor 2) The detector is located at the bottom of the unit (considering that button & LED are at the top). 3) The current database consists mostly of most common isotopes like U238, Ra226, Th232, Cs137 and few others but there will be more added in the near future. There is also a plan to add editable library so that users can add their own isotopes to the database. 4) Unit can be calibrated manually but that is not often needed since there is temperate compensation built into it. If you got anymore questions feel free to ask 😃

@@allRadioactive thank you for responce. I definitely agree, this is a very nice compromise, proffesional spectrometers are very expensive. For a long time i am searching for a home-usable scintilator for learning gamma spectrometry, on which i am going to get a lot of experiences. That will come in useful in my future work. Also i am going to show this scintilator to my students, use it in workskops etc. But for this reason i have to get some test-sources. Dont you know how to get them? I have to admire, you persuade me to buy one. But unfortunately not yet, just when transfering money to euros gonna be cheaper. I like your idea- adding that feature to software. As well as wider range of energy measurement (for 60-Co ~1,3 MeV peaks). In a video about Oranienburg i saw scintilator attached to some kind of stick. Is it some special stick?

[@MMYYSSTTIICCAALL]

Might eat one

Its nice you get straight to information point and don't make useless video rambling about nonsense for 30 minutes like most geiger channel.
