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

Who says it doesn’t?

It reports levels of radiation. We see levels harmful to us and run. We’re both safe.

Levels harmful to us haven’t quite hit those harmful to the device. If we stayed long enough or ventured deeper into the radiation, then we would probably see the device suffer from exposure at some point.

Well… the person or device that found us might, anyway…
