Quick Check on the Box of Autavias -- 42.6 uSv/h
In Response To: Spotted on Instagram -- Radioactive Autavia ()

I still have not been scientific about this, but the box of Autavias and Seafarers showed a reading of 42.6 uSv/h.

Also posted below is the chart showing health risks of various dosages of radiation exposure. Keep in mind that there is a big difference between living or working in an environment where your entire body is exposed to these levels of radiation versus occasionally wearing a wristwatch . . . or at least I hope there is such a difference.
