What types of radiation will it detect?
Exposure to gamma, beta, fast-neutron or x-ray radiation of 75 milliRoentgens per hour (mR/hr) is sufficient to trigger the low-level auto-alert. This includes Strontium 90, Cesium-137 and Cobalt-60, commonly available radioactive materials likely used in a dirty bomb (also called a radiological bomb). It will also detect radioactive iodine released from a nuclear reactor accident or fallout from a nuclear bomb. So it detects Beta radiation? Yes. And of course, this is required for detecting Strontium 90 (possible dirty bomb radiation) and detecting beta emitters from radioactive iodine (I-131) from a nuclear reactor or nuclear bomb. The RadDetect is the only commercially available keychain-style personal radiation detector that detects Beta radiation. Will it tell me what type of radiation I am being exposed to? Though the RadDetect detects gamma, beta, fast-neutron and x-ray radiation, it alerts you only to the presence of radiation, not the specific type of radiation. How many level
