Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Yes. I have been watching the two geiger counter sites suggested here,and I have not noticed any sharp increases at least by day, accept Denverhopped up to 77 yesterday, which was quite a large unexplainable jump.AliOn Mar 18, 2011, at 11:39 AM, baxrox wrote: March 18, 2011 - http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2014533541_apuswestcoastradiationmonitors.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 From www.radiationnetwork.com: " 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 100 CPM. Thus, the " Alert Level " for the National Radiation Map is 100 CPM, so if you see any Monitoring Stations with CPM value above 100, further indicated by an Alert symbol over those stations, it probably means that some radioactive source above and beyond background radiation is responsible. " Perhaps it is Denver's elevation that could make it an early detector? Or perhaps just a spike in background radiation in their location? > > > > > March 18, 2011 - http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2014533541_apuswestcoastradiat\ ionmonitors.html > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 It's neither large nor inexplicable, cinsidering their base background average is 62.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I have seen Denver in the upper 60s several times this week so a jump to 77 is not significant, especially since the upper limit on this website is 130 and because they explain that upper elevations might have higher readings on average.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 That's new. Earlier this week, they said that 130 was the max normal value. Wonder why they lowered it. I noticed that the blackcat site raised their max value from 18 to 28, too.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 If you click on the Message, they explain the Denver reading.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Of course the reading today is low. The bulk of what was released will not arrive until Monday according to an article on drudgereport. > > > March 18, 2011 - http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2014533541_apuswestcoastradiat\ ionmonitors.html > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Right. They said, as did I, that higher average readings are not unusual are higher elevations.
