This is supposed to go on your key ring, and it's supposed to last 10 years. Mine made it about 3 months before the plastic that is supposed to be attached to the keyring broke. I want to keep it on my keys but that's not possible now.The clicking noise every couple seconds is loud enough to be noticed when the room quiets down and people will ask you what is making the noise. It can get a little irritating while trying to fall asleep, too, so I keep it in the next room over.Great idea for a product, but could use a little improvement.

Simply put, the unit I received malfunctioned. Varying between slow and fast ticks and chirps for no good reason. Thought it may have been expected. Less than two months after I received it, it has now stopped making any noises and is broken and too late to return due to Amazon policy. Extremely disappointed. I would not buy this again from this seller. I also canceled my Amazon Prime subscription as a result.UPDATE: Contacted manufacturer after my initial review above and explained what happened and they were willing to send me a replacement unit. So the manufacturer stands by their product and it has worked flawlessly ever since. Detected radiation from airport belt scanners and other known standard sources and chirped and went back to clicking idle after a period of time properly.So, I do recommend this product. Just be sure to test and check it out that it is working properly after you receive it. This is a good product to have handy when you need to detect or be alerted to radiation, especially when unexpected. This product is a tool for added peace of mind to be able to detect an invisible threat like radiation and take appropriate action immediately to reduce exposure/harm.

Like a stated in the title, it is a little pricey, but if you have the money, it's a great buy. If you don't already have food, water, and basic sanitation products set aside then use the $100 for that, but if you're well prepared and have a little extra spending cash I'd suggest this a not only a nifty key chain to show off at the local bar, but possibly a life saving tool. The ticking can get a little annoying, it's supposed to tick once or twice every 30 seconds, but if it gets cold it's starts ticking every 10 or so seconds. I've tested it by placing it in the freezer for 20 minutes, then rapidly warming it in my hand and the beeping commences. Usually this way will get you 2 chirps every few seconds for about 5 or 10 minutes, I suppose it depends on how cold it was and how fast you warm it up. It's not very loud, which I think is something that should be improved on, but for what I do it's plenty loud.

Perfect design and function for civil defence applications -- someone really thought this product through very well. Unlike most commercial radiation meters which detect low dose rates only, this small detector is one of the very few designs for wartime use relevant to nuclear fallout scenarios. The photoscintillation system is the ideal detection method for this purpose, and is even superior to the ionization chamber / survey meter (yellow FEMA survey meters) in that it does not need calibration to be effective. Also, very affordable to give yourself reliable, portable capability to be able to know when nuclear fallout dose rates are dangerous or acceptable. Probably the accuracy and function is similar to a homemade Kearny Fallout Meter ionization chamber, but without the fuss and more portable. Hopefully, this will turn out to be another useless item in my kit! The periodic soft ticking sound is very reassuring -- always vigilant.

Initially I was a little skeptical paying so much for something so small but in the end I believe it was a wise purchase and worth every dollar. I purchased a small stainless steel screw type caribener at Lowes which is now attached to the keyring and then to my belt loop. No way for it to accidentally fall off. I also took the recommended advice from the manufacturer and asked my dentist to subject it to an x-ray for a test run. This made it go off just as stated it would. Eventually the beeps went back to normal. The reason I purchsed it was to detect radiation from nuclear power plants that might be compromised by terrorist or natural disasters. The average citizen will probably not know a plant has been compromised until it is too late. The Nuke Alert gives me the edge to know if I am downwind sooner so I can execute my escape plan much quicker before the roads turn into huge parking lots of stalled traffic. It will also tell me how much I have been exposed which could prove beneficial for medical assistance if needed later. All in all - a prudent buy!
