A friend bought this product for dogs that contains irradiated chicken (Treated by radiation). So I tried to see if a detectable level of radiation was present.

Irradiated food - Nourriture irradié
Un ami à acheté ce produit pour chien qui contient du poulet irradié (Traitées par radiation). J'ai donc testé pour voir si un niveau détectable de radiation était présent.

Radioactive chips - Croustilles Radioactive
Je savais que les croustilles était radioactive a cause du potassium 40, mais je ne me doutais pas que c'était plus que les bananes et que ça pouvait varier autant d'une marque à une autre. J'imagine que ça dépend de la provenance des pommes de terres ainsi que de l'épaisseur de la coupe. Miss Vickie's étant plus épaisse, ça me semble expliquer la plus forte dose.
I knew that chips were radioactive because of potassium 40, but I had no idea that it was more than bananas and it could vary as much from one brand to another. I guess it depends on the origin of potatoes as well as the thickness of the cut. Miss Vickie's being thicker seems to explain the higher dose.

Natural Uranium - Uranium Naturel
J'ai reçu aujourd'hui deux tubes de 5 g d'uranium naturel sous forme de poudre. J'ai mesuré le niveau de rayonnement par rapport au fond dans cette courte vidéo.
I received today two tube of 5g of natural Uranium in powder form. I measured the radiation level compared to background in this quick video.

Petit déjeuner radioactive? Radioactive breakfast anyone?
J'ai testé quelques assiettes et bol et je vois 2.5x à 3.5x la radiation de fond. C'est partout!
Tested a bowl and some plates and saw this... 2.5x to 3.5 times the background. It's everywhere!

Radiation durant un voyage en avion - Radiation during a plane trip
Cette semaine, je suis allé de Montréal (Québec), à Toronto (Ontario) au Canada et retour. Le vol a duré moins d'une heures dans les deux sens. J'avais mon compteur Geiger avec moi et j'ai capturé le niveau de rayonnement pendant le vol qui est principalement d'origine de rayonnement cosmique. J'ai ensuite utilisé l’information d'élévation de ce site web. J'ai ensuite tracé l'altitude en vol et le niveau de rayonnement en fonction du temps. J'ai également tracé l'intensité de rayonnement en fonction de l'altitude, montrant l'équation qui n'est pas linéaire mais un polynôme du troisième degré. Plus vous montez, plus vous serez exposés aux rayonnements.
Vous voyez un niveau supérieur dans la matinée, que durant la soirée, peut-être puisque le soleil était dans le ciel, pour la section Montréal à Toronto. Pour le vol du matin, le plus haut niveau était d'environ 50x le niveau de fond. Pour le vol de retour le soir, il était d'environ 45x le fond. Ceci est calculé avec le maximum divisé par le minimum.

This week, I went from Montreal (Quebec) to Toronto (Ontario) in Canada and back. The flight lasted less than 1 hours both ways. I had my Geiger counter with me and captured the radiation level, during the flight, which is mostly cosmic ray. I then used a flight altitude information web site to get the elevation. I then plotted the radiation level and elevation (feet) with time. I also plotted the radiation level versus the elevation, showing the equation which is not linear but a third degree polynomial. The more you go up, the more radiation you are exposed to.
You see a higher level in the morning, than during the evening, possibly because the sun was in the sky, for the Montreal to Toronto section. For the morning flight, the highest level was around 50x the background level. For the return flight at night, it was around 45x the background. This is Max over Min.
