- From the "feel" of the count rate of my geiger counter sampling Coleman
- mantles, I'd estimate it to be about 2 orders of magnitude higher than
- background radiation. Somewhere in the range of 100's of events (at the
- detector tube) per minute. Not terribly intense.
-
- But, the count was hardly diminished by tin foil -- but mostly blocked
- by my Revere Wear copper clad stainless steel frying pan.
