Radiation Contamination in the waters of NYC
So since NJ got hit with 2 nukes and cause alot of Staten Island to be wiped out I am wondering bout the water ways north of Staten Island.
Could I pilot a boat in the watersways around the island without worrying bout radiation? I understand landing would be a problem but could I just go through the area...

Of course avoiding the area entirely is by far the best option...
How far away from an irradiated objectdo you need to be to be "safe"? Would an open boat a mile away from the nuked ruins be a death sentence even though the river itself has been flushed clean?

Hmmm, I'm thinking a lead overcoat would be a good idea....

500m after what 5 years should be pretty safe, not like you will be dealing with contamination like the soil or artifacts which can contain radioactivity and thus be hot and in turn cause radiation damage to you.

According to this website, if I am reading it correctly, seems to imply that after 3-5yrs of normal weather patterns, radiation levels on the island would be back to normal.
It also seem to show a pretty good chart for determining the size of the blast and such too.. http://www.remm.nlm.gov/nuclearexplosion.htm

Hello, guys! So how can it be measured? I saw some detectors available at https://ecotestgroup.com/ Have you ever tried using them? I want to measure the radiation in a lake near my place, so I am interested in such things

Just so long as you rescue your dad and get the GECK they need to research Project Purity you should be fine.
