What is the origin and meaning of “3.6 roentgen, not great, not terrible”?
In: Physics
It was in the miniseries *Chernobyl*. It was said by a character who was obstinately refusing to consider the possibility that the disaster was worse than it was. 3.6 roentgen was the maximum that the sensor that they had available could read, which meant that the real value was likely to be higher. Spoiler: it was.
I don’t know if it’s reported that the real person that the character was based on said something like that in reality or not.
