Another great video! Have you used the Airthings Corentium Home Radon Detector?

I just found they are based in Latvia. Didn't expect.

If you live in DC, NYC, etc. Save your money, you won’t need one.

Hi Drew, I like this geiger product,i have question When we use geiger do we need worry about missing alpha emitter ?(cos alpha radition will not detect by geiger count) thanks!

Radiation is so small... i think to be greater in this area "high controlled..."

I'm wondering what it'll be like after we're all gone and the structure of that plant brings to fail

Trinitite has lower cpm counts than background in Denver 😭

Stay safe!! 😯

Whoever did the tile re-grouting sucked. Typical government worker.

That is really cool! Something worth considering. Not really because I'm generally concerned for the levels at my place - geigers and scintillators confirm they're well within normal range (perhaps except a foot or two from my large collection of Nano Wands LOL). But you'll never know if someting suddenly happens. Then it's nice to have a low maintenance low power divice always running to give an alert if something is up. Wether you trust authorities or not - at least they're always behind informing the general public.

My dad used to haul Uranium from that mine all the time. I've been there many times with him. THIS was an easy one compared to the other mines regionally that he's hauled from. Pretty much all his coworkers have died from Uranium related illnesses, mostly cancer. Lots of miners and truckers lost their lives because they weren't given proper protection from the radiation. Pretty sure DOD/DOE knew how unsafe it was but failed to protect them. Sad 😢

These should be as mandatory as carbon monoxide or smoke detectors for areas prone to having radon. But the question is, once you discover you have radon, then what? Especially if you're renting. You really have no recourse. Unless you go through a lengthy legal process and MAYBE get a favourable ruling.

Love your videos. I just bought a radiacode 102 and I can't wait for it to arrive. Thank you so much for the inspiration, keep it up!

I would get one but I have too many radiation detectors now

For Radon you need avdifferent type of detector. You can use a radye or another type of gamma detcor for scanning materials, but to short term monitor you jeed something like rd200p-radon-detector that is purpose built . A proper long term measurment is done with a film canister, but thatvrequires a lab to read it

Monazite (Th) and its decay products are quite common in beach sand. It can be concentrated due to disposal after beach sand mining, particilarly where the rare earths (rutile, gold etc) are separated using gravity tables. Under mining and nuclear regulatory rules the separated monazite (Th) is supposed to be scattered back to nature at the low water mark. However, wave action can reconcentrate this material due to its high specific gravity. In some places (notably southern India) the background can be high enough to risk health problems from prolonged exposure.

Quick question Drew, I love your channel and I’ve learned a lot however, I’m curious where do you typically store all of your radioactive material? More specifically, I realize a lot of the radioactive antiques can be shielded with simply glass. So my question is not only where do you store it within your house if it’s in your house, but do you shield it or have specialty storage?

By the way. Contact GQ and ask for a firmware update for your GMC-320 (you need to mention exact model and serial number). The newer firmwares has dynamic response times so they're much faster reacting on higher activity sources. The older firmwares are fixed at a rather long interval which makes sense for low level background readings but not high activity sources.

We live one mile from a nuclear plant so constant monitoring is of interest to me.

Would be cool if they supported Matter for home automation. I’m sure though the whole category of home radiation monitors will eventually support home automation protocols

About $120 on Amzn as of today.

The most common radioactive material in house would result in radon gas, but this is Alfa radiation… and this it can’t measure?

Was that siren from the facility or the detector?!

11:13 how did you put the alarms on the maximum right again since it is a brand new one. I tried on my brand new b20 putting to the maximum and only defaults to 600kcpm. Did you use a calibration set to change it while it does not default? Just wondering.

@RadioactiveDrew >>> Is there some way you could -- *AFFORDABLY & SAFELY* -- build some kind of 'sealed glove box' to disassemble those instruments and then apply new zinc paint to the radium bits to allow the glow to be visible to the naked eye? *EDIT→* I posted this comment early on in a _re-watch_ of this video. What you said about the paint escaping those instruments if they are poorly sealed pretty much answers my question.

I kinda wish some of the internet connected weather stations came with a radiation sensor so we could see all the data around the country and the world plotted on a map.

How about Radon?

Needs WiFi, cloud integration, an app, notifications, and an ability to plug in with battery backup. Cool idea. Just needs a total overhaul to be convenient and usable.

Thank you Drew and very thoughtful review

Good review Drew, thank you.

This was such a boring review. Basically it works but it's not great. Over and over.

"For your home" implies radon but that's ionizing radiation which this detector doesn't detect, right? I hope no one gets confused by that. Other than that this is pretty cool.

Is that Seal or Sunset Beach Doesn't look like Seal

BULLSHIT WITHOUT DISASSEMBLING AND SHOWING GEIGER DETECTOR.

I recall coming across this a while ago, and I had intended to buy one but apparently completely forgot about it for some reason. With everything going on in the world, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have one around.

Maxed out; 3.6 roentgen not good, not terrible...

Thanks for this great video, what a wonderful little monitor! I smiled at the test on the radium post-I’ve never taken the post out of my Radium Pyrotronics…frankly the thing scares me, but it’s good to see an actual test at point blank; 10 Million CPM is wild! I also wanted to ask you if you have a good source for the rear plate/filters for the B20-ER that doesn’t break the bank.

Good Video ! i'm looking for a Home Radiation detector that i can plug 🔌 into a Wall outlet ( No Batteries ) that i can leave plugged in 24/7/365 to Monitor & Record 30 days of Radiation ☢️ Level in my Apartment since i Live 10 Miles away from a Nuclear Power Plant. Does anybody Have any recommendations ? anybody is free to reply. Thanks to anybody that Puts a Link up that i can check out. This one - would be ok. But , Replacing Batteries all the Time is so 1980. Home detector should have a cord. Thanks again.

Great video!

For something like this being able to connect to an external power source would make sense.

Looks like it integrates with Home Assistant.. over Bluetooth.

Can it detect radiation from radon in the basement?

Hi Drew... Well rats! The Amazon price now (7/26/24) is $119.00. I thought the $80 some dollar price might last a bit longer....

Drew - can you test the newer GMC-800 ?

Looks like it works with Home Assistant since 2024.6 too, which is pretty nice. Might pick one up for the heck of it.

We have uranium oxide and thorium deposits with traces throughout SoCal

Will it detect radon?

I always get nervous when you bring those metal scary things.

Their OEM site is a tad flakey... Subtotal $89.00 RDREW -$4.45 Ship FDX $28.00 Sales Tax $7.60 Total due $120.15 *Amazon has no July discount offering & with Tax its $127.03 - $7.03 more. FEDEX Grnd Shipping at $28.00 for something this SMALL is an obscene ripoff.

NOT Happy. If you order from their OEM site its $89 minus the RDREW discount code BUT THEY SLAP you with and $28 shipping charge. Ridiculous. If you order from Amazon its $119, the RDREW doesn't work so its full plrice + tax, no shipping with Prime. Think they just lost me for a few months - I will look at other options.
