These cards seem like a cheap investment. Whilst I rate nuclear war very low on the possibilities, having such a cheap item in the preps isn't a big deal.
Cheapest I've seen - $US3.80ea + $US3.50 postage [for any number]
Radiation Sensor: Develops a green/gray color and provides an early warning (250 mSv) to users and guides physicians (500-10,000 mSv) in determining medical treatment
Dose Integration: Cumulative
Dose Range: 250-10,000 mSv
Response time: Instant
Response retention: Full
Uncertainty: Visually: +25%, Colorimetry: +10%
Dimensions: Size of postage stamp (Length: 3 cm, Width 3 cm, Thickness 0.2 mm, Weight: 0.2 g)
False signal: A scratch-off bar for detecting UV/sunlight false signal
Energy dependency: Independent of energy (Over 30 KeV X-ray)
Post radiation effect: 90-95% color development within minutes, the rest within hours
Effect of Dose rate: Negligible
Effect of temperature of radiation: Negligible (less than 0.1%/°C over minus 20°C to plus 60°C)
Maximum operating temperature: ~90°C (Temperature on a car's dashboard under direct sunlight can reach as high as 80°C). FIT™ Indicator will monitor such exposure
Laundry resistance: Passes a few residential laundry cycles
Effect of average humidity: None
Effect of sunlight: Negligible for a week of average direct sunlight (two weeks of winter and a few days of summer sunlight). Dosimeters can be read a thousand times under sunlight. FIT™ Indicator will monitor overexposure to UV/sunlight
Effect of ambient light: Negligible for a month
Support equipment: None needed to estimate dose
Service life: Three years at 22°C or color development equivalent to 100 mSv with "Service Life Ends" bar -
This can be extended to 10 years if stored in the freezer [as per info in manual].
Other unique features:
Tamper resistant and tamper evident.
No electronics or moving parts, reliable, rugged and useful for triaging radiation exposure information and medical treatment
