Just watched Chernobyl and saw how “everything” electrical got destroyed from the radiation, but not the geiger counters. Why it that?
In: Biology
It’s not true that everything electronic gets destroyed instantly, there’s video footage from immediately after the accident and also later from high radiation areas inside the rector.
Video cameras are complex and relatively fragile, so if they can survive for that long then a simpler device like a geiger counter will last even longer before degrading and eventually failing.
