Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 read the whole site and it will be clear that it does NOT " Referring to the Map Legend at the bottom left corner of the map, locate Monitoring Stations around the country that are contributing radiation data to this map as you read this, and watch the numbers on those monitoring stations update as frequently as every minute (your browser will automatically refresh). The numbers represent radiation Counts per Minute, abbreviated CPM, and under normal conditions, quantify the level of background radiation, i.e. environmental radiation from outer space as well as from the earth's crust and air. Depending on your location within the US, your elevation or altitude, and your model of Geiger counter, this background radiation level might average anywhere from 5 to 60 CPM, and while background radiation levels are random, it would be unusual for those levels to exceed 130 CPM. Thus, the " Alert Level " for the National Radiation Map is 130 CPM, so if you see any Monitoring Stations with CPM value above 130, further indicated by an Alert symbol over those stations, it probably means that some radioactive source above and beyond background radiation is responsible.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 That location looks to me to be the Hanford Nuclear plant in the southeast part of the state. The number has been in that range for several days now, as has the number up by Vancouver. > > > Right now it says Seattle is at 38 , which is above mobile. > > > > Does that mean it has hit? > > > > Ali > > > > http://radiationnetwork.com/ > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > > > All off topic posts should go to the IodineOT group > > IodineOT/ > > > > > > Commonly asked questions: http://tinyurl.com/yhnds5e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Not at all. Have you read the information I've posted here again and again about these maps? Have you read the information on the map websites themselves? You'll learn a lot when you do. All that mobile means is that the radiation detector being used is not a stationary one - it can be moved from location to location.
