They spec the radiation level from natural background to 0.5rem/hr.

Supposedly "A handheld radiation camera":

Has anyone seen one of these work??

It seems the source SHOULD be credible but I can think of so many reasons it just cannot work!!  I mean a pocket pho gam camera???? really????

Even if it did - it would most certainly only be for VERY high fields/sources - certainly not the kind of thing "if formerly took weeks to find" as they allege.

AND certainly not applicable to Fukushima as they imply at least not outside the plant itself.

IF in fact this IS true - it certainly is interesting.
