MEASURING RANGE: FROM 0.4 TO 1,000,000 ROENTGENS PER MINUTE

摘要

The protective suits of the rescuers were calculated for 500 roentgens, but when the pointers of the instruments oscillated around 350 the people stopped. On the dosimeters there was acting an extremely high level of radiation, and they ceased to measure precisely the force of the harmful radiation. The error could amount to 50% to the one side or the other, and how many roentgens were there-200 or 5000 That meant that even with the "body protectors" each succeeding step was bound up with mortal danger, and all because of the fact that the scientists had not yet "taught" their instruments to moa sure the frightful radiation with precision.
