It was this I think
Fiestaware. After reading about its doses that sounds right. I remember now the meter was 11 mR/hr which on the dosimeter was no longer clicking but pretty solid on.
Thanks for feedback for a sense of severity. If I understand correctly, dosimeter have different time constants and I think this one was pretty cheap/slow, meaning the actual level is higher. The instructions said you have to hold it there for a minute for the reading to be accurate. We didn’t do but 10-15 seconds to get the 11 as I didn’t wanna be around it anymore
It was a quote from the TV miniseries Chernobyl. The reading was the highest the dosimeter could measure, so the actual value could have been (and was) much higher. They also underestimated the impact if that reading had been accurate.
That doesn’t look like it. But very cool! TIL

11 mR/hr? Not great, not terrible.
