[Crashy19]

does anyone know what the reading is given as??
i got numbers but i reallly cant find out anywhere what the measurement means or anything

 

[Forbidden.]

not really,
if the numbers are coming up really fast then you know the radioactive source is decaying with lots of particles

i had it timed for 60sec and the readings given off from the water (drinking water) were pretty similar
but i don't know what units they are done in so its to sortof say what is good and bad

 

[Forbidden.]

if it goes up say about 20 numbers per second or more i would be more careful in handling the isotope

mRh or R: röntgen or roentgen is the measurement for ionizing radiation displayed on most electronic geiger-muller counters.

I don't think you need to go into this much detail for the HSC.
