0.1 microsieverts (uSv) per hour is normal background radiation rate. Right now in my apartment (far from Ukraine) the dose rate is 0.12 uSv/h.

  Is there a map service you're using to find the radiation levels at your apartment?

    Nope, it's from Geiger counter on my desk.

        The seem to be like £100 on amazon.

          Yeah, but the fact that a Ukranian actually has one. I was going to make an "In Soviet Russia..." style joke, but a quick reading of the room suggested not good timing.

            Commenter literally said “far from Ukraine”. What are you talking about?
            • dylan604 5y ago
              oh, you're right. i totally missed the word far on initial read. totally changes the everything.

                To be fair, I am around 500 km from the westernmost border, so not that far in American terms. We were affected by the Chernobyl disaster.

        ? It’s a Geiger counter. It’s cheaper than having an oscilloscope, which wouldn’t be “understated” either.
        • dylan604 5y ago
          Do YOU have a geiger counter on your desk?
          • JohnBooty 5y ago
            Well, I just ordered one, which was not a thing I expected to do when I woke up today. We'll see if it actually ships; seems lots of people have the same idea right now.
