Personal Radiation Detector

Q: Does it detect Alpha Beta and Gamma? or just Beta?

It detects alpha beta and gamma. These are electrically charged particles or waves. The device creates a charged field in its ion chamber. A charged particle will cause a current to flow across the ion chamber, causing the light to go on. It does not identify which kind of radiation is present. However, the brightness of the light is relative to the ionization between the anode and cathode of the ion chamber. The brighter the light, the more energy is present. This is only a relative indicator and will fade after years of use as the batteries run down. The batteries are replaceable.More info at http://hq-precision-instruments.com/

Q: Can this be used to test seafood for Cesium?

We tested @ VA Hospital it failed at all levels and types of radiation (does not work)

Q: Does it give the actual radiation levels?

NO, it just signals with a flashing LED. I'm not sure it is very sensitive. I tried it with a couple of known low-level radiation sources and couldn't get any indication. But they were quite low level... Seems like a nice item otherwise.

Q: what kind of batteries does it use and how long do they last if on continuesly

They are like watch batteries or hearing aid batteries I have yet to find any that worked. Oh and that thing does not work in my opinion.I bought the thing to detect radium watch bezels in second hand stores and have yet to find any. I am going to take it to a high end jeweler.
