Radiation News

So it seems the kids would not return to the village in Japan, in spite of the government assurances all were well.  So mom bought a geiger counter to prove to her kids all was well.  Geiger counter contradicted what government said.

All of the reactor talk convinced a fellow in Sweden he should build one in his apartment...  and he blogged his experience, including the core meltdown.  Police were called.   Check out the other youtubes on kids building reactors... especially the eagle scout, who has radiation burns on his face.

Anthony notices this article:

"Nothing is mentioned on the geiger counter yahoo group.   But I saw this posted,

A doctor noted an increase in infant mortality along the West Coast including Seattle, up 35% since Fukishima.    

 

Hmmm Radiation and Aljazeera in the same email.   Well if we weren't on the "enemy of the state" list before, we are now. "

And from Hawaii...

Makes me think clouds of radiation are being released from fukushima.  It's probably melting down.  They should hurry up and throw a sarcophagus around around the reactor, like the Russians did with Chernobyl.   

So what are radiation readings in Seattle area?

Dakota Place Park  7 cpm

My back yard 7 cpm

 

State Dept of health monitoring stations remain off line with the last readings from 5/24/2011.  

 

EPA RadNet link to its radiation monitoring web site is broken.

Evidently 37 cities need thier EPA monitoring equipment fixed but it's not a priority.

It is strange.   Keeping the monitor off makes people ask questions like,  Why would you stop monitoring when the biggest nuclear accident since Chernobyl rages on?  


Finally, if you search for geiger counters on amazon, you do not get geiger counters.  You get ghost meters and non-nuclear radiation detectors.


It sounds to me like there is a business to be had in reliable information and sources...
