Player can acquire a [[Dosimeter]] to measure both a background dose of the radiation and a total dose the player has received over a period the Dosimeter been active<ref>According to the code this isn't supposed to be true, but it appears to be, why?</ref>. The intensity of the radiations decreases with the [[wikipedia:Inverse-square_law|square of the distance]] between the source and the player.

The dosimeter will measure radiation in [[wikipedia:Sievert|sieverts]] (Sv), a unit of total ionizing radition dose received by a body, or sieverts per hour, a dose increase per hour spent in a certain area (henceforth called dose rate). Its physical unit is Joule ⋅ Kilogram<sup>-1</sup>. 1 Sv is therefore the equivalent of 1 Joule of energy having collided with 1 Kilogram of human tissue.

[[Dosimeter]] can be acquired from looting the [[Tenement A]] hospital, looting the desk in the office right as you enter the radioactive tunnel, or be bought from [[Fredrik Walker]] or the [[OS Mining Services]]. To use the dosimeter, it needs to equipped in the primary hand and activated {{ButtonLM}}, it is powered {{Button|G}} by Batteries AA
