Note that

65500 = round(typemax(UInt16)/100)*100

and no higher value exists on the map it might actually be worse how much we can't tell though.

What a grim coincidence if this type of saturation error pops up again in relation to Chernobyl.
Is it a coincidence? Or are dosimeters commonly calibrated for a maximum reading of "not great, not terrible" for best sensitivity in the range they're likely to be needed for? This maximum reading is 50 times less than the famous "3.6 Roentgens".
Nice use of Julia to communicate with humans.

However, since you've chosen to communicate through code, strictly speaking it ought to be '==' :p

Yes, I write Julia but I didn't use Julia on purpose. It just feels natural syntax, which I guess is an compliment to Julia.
