Bonus: the photo was taken with a film camera and the graininess is from all the radiation.

Very cool. Feels like it should be a level in Half Life.

It’s kind of crazy how the electron beam looks like a special effect from a 1980’s sci-fi movie.

Aside from the film grain, I’m pretty impressed that the camera seemed to survive that and that the footage from it could be extracted like nothing of this nature had ever happened to the device.

Super cool. Working on some ebeam sterilization stuff through contractors. Cool to see the nuts and bolts.

Does non beta-radiation have the same effect? (Especially gamma rays which don’t even have an electric charge)

I don’t know. If the gamma rays are absorbed and converted to electrons in the photo-sensor, it could also cause noise I suppose ?

because only product being irradiated goes there. no human should be in that area. plus with the lights off you see the ionized air. that would probably be washed out with another light source.

There were weird spots on the trail I had never seen. Everywhere the trees completely touched and covered the ground there was a tiny fog bank. Kept thinking, “Go ahead Stalker. Try walking through it.”

Nothing happened. :(

Should have thrown a bolt in there first, just to be safe.

As a member of the Mercs and a friend of Freedom, I diagnose you with alcoholism. Lay off the vodka rookie, you dont need to drink the entire stock Sidorovich gave you even if he said it was a gift.
