You can only measure photon energy in Sieverts. To find out the photon dose rate you would want to put the beta shield on an measure exclusively gamma.

Great video, I honestly didn't know much about these other than, oh cool there's a big strip of radium on the mirror. I suppose the whole fake company was to prevent bombing of the compass factory?

With the lid closed you shouldn’t notice much above normal background. A piece of paper would block 90% of it.
