Just watched Chernobyl and saw how “everything” electrical got destroyed from the radiation, but not the geiger counters. Why it that?

“Everything” isn’t getting destroyed by radiation, complex electronics or living creatures get destroyed.

Geiger counter that does clicks instead of numeric display is incredibly simple – a battery, speaker and a gas vial between them. That’ll work just fine long after radiation kills any person that might be holding it.
