What is the origin and meaning of “3.6 roentgen, not great, not terrible”?
In: Physics
It’s from the HBO series *Chernobyl*. At first the engineers in the nuclear plant thought that the radiation was leaking at a rate of 3.6 roentgen per hour, which is apparently higher than normal but not catastrophic. It was days before they found out that it was actually in the tens of thousands of roentgen per hour.
