Will have to get a G-M meter for that . Expensive ... I wouldn't want
a used one (those old yellow thingies) from NRC or CD . No way . They
all probably emit particles from a to z .

Why would a G-M counter emit particles / waves?

From being exposed to them . That's the purpose of it .

The old yellow Civil Defense units have a small radioactive sample (beta
emitter?) on the side of the case to use as a reality check; i.e., to
see if the G-M counter is functioning.

OK - pretty freaky!- Hide quoted text -

Why are you surprised ? That is only a 'small' sample .

Huh? Their -purpose- of a G-M counter is to MEASURE particles, not EMIT
them. Please 'splain yourself.
