Geiger Counter Bulletin

The Geiger Counter Bulletin is dedicated to radiation detection in general - and to the noble Geiger Counter, an instrument with a significant historic role in the Nuclear Age. The trusty Geiger Counter is evolving. The modern, evolved, properly designed Geiger Counter is still often the best (and most economical) instrument for detecting radioacti... ve materials in the home, workplace, and environment. When choosing a Geiger Counter, it is important to find one with the right features for your application. We strive to answer questions about radiation detection, and common problems that are encountered in the field. Our goal is to present this information in terms that can be understood by the lay person as well as the radiation safety professional. The Fukushima situation is dominating the conversation right now, but that will change as the situation resolves there. The Bulletin was conceived by Dan Sythe. Dan was introduced to Geiger Counters by his Father at an early age. He has been using Geiger Counters for for well over fifty years, and began designing them almost 40 years ago. His instruments have been utilized for protecting human health and for safety - in science, industry, education, security, nuclear arms control, medicine - and by journalists, citizen activists, advocacy organizations, hobbyists, safety enthusiasts and curious people throughout the world.Read More
