Hi All,
I just want you all to know that it is nothing dangerous (radioactive) in
all Brahin samples. Brahin meteorite fell long ago and all samples that were
(and will be) found are from quite deep level under the surface (0.5-1.5
meters) where no radiation is. Some radiation is only on the surface in that
area. My friends and I were several times there. But we are not enemies for
our selves. The radiation is quite low in the area where the ellipse of
Brahin is located. Temporary visiting that place is absolutely safety for
health. Even several tenths of years you can live there. Just they made a
border between living and not living areas on the level of 30
microrentgen/h. (The Brahin town is in the level of 36 microrentgen/h and
people live there. They let cows eat the grass there and eat the meat and
drink milk after without any doubt. Note, that a lot of Earth stones that
were used to built big houses have more radiation level than all meteorites
(including Brahin). We pass all the times the security in many airports of
the world with Brahin. It impossible to carry radioactive goods on the
plane! If you still not believe, get a Geiger counter, measure something at
home and after bring it to one of the shows (or measure you own Brahin
sample if you have already one).
All the best.
