Re: Our rads just increased...

[Guest guest]

On RadiationNetWork, the CPM has been in the range of about 18 to 34 over the

past couple days. Seems pretty normal right now.

I’m in Eastern PA – close to NJ/NY.

It looks like we have high levels in our area. We have a lot of reactors not

too far from us. It’s a little scary in light of what has happened in Japan. We are also not too

far away from where three mile island occurred. Right now I am worried about

relatives on the coast of California.

You're speaking of increases not equal to 1/2 a bite-wing X-ray. An anomaly that small could be someone upwind of you with a glow-in-the-dark watch. Nothing's happening. Give your kids a kiss good-night and go to bed. Jim

Please note this disclaimer on the blackcat website:

" Typical background radiation levels for most of the USA are in the 5 to 18

uR/hr range. Readings can be higher for brief periods of time due to normal

variations in radiation levels. They can also be consistently higher for areas

at high elevations, or with larger natural deposits of uranium, thorium, radon,

etc. "

Notice that the quote says typical background radiation levels for MOST of the

USA... - not that a level over 18 is atypical everywhere. Clearly, a reading

just over 18 is not cause for alarm. It's possible that the monitoring

equipment needs to be recalibrated or there is some other logical explanation of

the reading.

The RadiationNetwork website has a reading of 30 for San Fran - well below their

threshold of 130 for background radiation. I have seen it higher and lower in

the past 24 hours.
