yeah, the old "duck-and-cover" method. isn't so bad after all. they reviewed the "nuclear preparation" thing last year. And released that in the chance of a nuclear threat, get to the innermost room of the building (i.e. most protected from outside walls) and get under a desk (because the more between you and the radiation the better!)

I also don't understand how the levels did not change all that significantly from the hallway till when you were standing right next to the device.
All in all, this episode was not very factual about radiation and as a nuclear engineer, it pisses me off to always see the public be so misinformed about radiation and dosage.
I didn't really see, was the Geiger counter at a certain level or was it at it's top where the arrow just couldn't go any further. They were exposed for quite a while though, an hour, maybe a couple or hours?
At Tsjernobyl they cleaned up the radioactive debry while wearing lead sheets and only being outside for 1 minute or so at a time before switching with another group. Most still died from radiation.

It could also be that Nirti corrected the damage done by radiation on that episode with the ancient DNA device on the other episode. With regards to Jonas.
I much prefer the pew pew episodes versus the who's gong to diffuse the bomb(s) one. Rock, paper, scissors, you're the red shirt. But I don't wanna........

i'm not an expert of the stuff. (and i couldn't see the exact height of the radiation)
but given the history of naquahdriah, plus the relatively high exposure plus an unknown exposure time, walking out of there would NOT have been very good on the long run. this includes but isn't limited to various forms of cancer, genetic damage and paranoia and delusion.
the alternative at this point wasn't exactly... nice either. besides Wray is not a scientist, so the gamble was more or less good. not to mention that getting someone inside with enough protection to last, would be even harder, and more time consuming
