In Germany they aren’t x-rays, they are roentgen bilds (pictures)

Rentgen (just a word) is another one name for x-rays.

Also rentgen ≠ gamma (but in fact, finally its all the same).

p.s. rOentgen ha..

Depends on the source and length of exposure.

They masturbating on this phrase because allegedly that man didn't know that 3.6 was the maximum value of the device and as if he (ok he wasnt a technitian, BUT dude that told him this must know about such a thing, that's lol for a worker of NPP, maybe fake) wasn't aware of the device overshooting (out of scale).

There was 150+ rentgen\hour in some places afar from the core. Near windows of building corridor with windows facing the core from afar.
