RADCON ALERT! Richland WA 505, San Jose, CA 303

Some of the locations reporting are EPA sites. Also, seeing several locations in a cluster giving high readings is concerning, especially to those of us who live within that area.

How about you stop being lazy. Fourth post is a link from Tangy. If you don't know by now then don't worry about it. Just go enjoy your day.

Usually I enjoy your comments....clearly not today.

I know, right. Hanford and the leaking tanks. It's on the Seattle news once a week, for a year now. They should have started to do something in the 70's. I've just been around GLP for like 4 years. But I'm surprise of the lack of Hanford threads. Sad how we (locals) just accept it. Remember all the huge nests of mud wasps that were all radioactive? Everyone was like, that's funny, when it came on the news.

Guess what, Richland is a radioactive dump anyway.

This. Plus you 'bet' but you don't know. I am more than happy to believe a citizen taking the time to help monitor radiation and post so people are aware verses just taking the gov. word that everything is fine. I shelled out the cash to get a detector, learned to use it and check on a regular basis. What are you doing besides being negative on the thread? I wish I could 100% verify the readings for you. But I don't own the website nor am I located in those areas. And yes some locations are EPA sites as well. So please let those of us on this thread continue to alert people as you go enjoy your Thanksgiving.

I understand, and have commented that I have seen A levels before but have not made a thread due to seeing only one...for exactly that reason. But we are not looking at just one. We currently have three of them and many 2's, 3's and 4's. Follow the pattern.

I don't mean to derail your thread. But it's easy to say, 'oh, radiation is in the air, better stay inside'. But I still think people don't get how it does affect us and the earth and all that use it.

PLEASE!!!


What does it mean????

Anyone seen "Die Volke"? Cloud of radioactive DooM traveling around Germany after a nuclear Power Plant melted down. Don't stay out in the rain folk, or snow. Even if I'm not easily hyped into DooM, I still think the the US West Coast should acquire and calibrate Alpha and Beta dosimeters. Not quite sure what else there is to do. We had our EMERCOM nuclear fallout training too long ago.

(PS! If SHTF a good raincoat, some rubber fishing pants and rubber boots might come in handy as shelter from fallout. Along with a gas mask and gaffa tape.)

Limpan, it means that the Counts Per Second measured by a Geiger counter are around five times the alert level. Sverige seems safe for now.

No derail. Good info.

Radiation alert because the levels are high. The site reports levels at normal, rising, elevated, concern/watch and Alert when new record highs are being recorded.

Good suggestions.

Please keep in mind everyone that our wonderful gov. who cares about us so deeply has raised the allowable 'normal' radiation levels twice since fukushima happened. Everything is fine, we'll just keep raising the levels.

so at what level do people start getting burned? This is really fucked up. Are we safer east of the Rockies?

Hawaii is pretty high. Maybe something happened in Japan, they have been taking the rods out.

Doesn't Washington state have a huge nuclear dumping ground, that is in old containers and they're leaking? While Fukushima is a huge worry, this other is huge as well...

Please excuse my bad choice of Words but i do not know that many

I can name and link you countless other Statements
but i think we can both agree on Ken Brussler
from Woods& Hole Oceanographic Institution and their Magazine Oceanus,
he is a smart one, neutral and a Humanist,
like me!

We observe environmental Toxins in the Sea since the middle of the Seventies, Heavy Metals& Radiation is nothing new for us,
we have a very rich Fundus of Information from all the European Seas
and know & understand the Interactions!

What the People in the US need to do is sampling and measuring
because your Government is not doing enough.

This is also the one thing i like at netc- Activity!

But i dislike their Commercial Exploitation (20$)
and that the Admini do not keeping the Measurements clearly separated, you can't compare the Data of a Handheld Geiger-Mueller Counter
with the EpA Air-Filter.

A Geiger Counter is a very simple Instrument and give only a Direction
but the Air-Filter consume ca. 60m3 a Minute/
Humans consume 20m3 in 24 Hours and a Geiger counter "lives" in that Dimension!

Hmmmm, Fish:
you liked only Tuna or/and Salmon?
Because there are many local Fishes who do not migrate like the Travellers!

just the US?

wind was offshore the day the reactors blew.

Just look up Hanford Site. There is actually good info on Wiki. When it was operational, there was fallout out gov knew about in the 50's. All the way into Montana. Quietly, out gov was worried about dairy cows, even way back then.

I was at a small harbor in Point Arena earlier in the week and some of the fisherman there said they are already picking up detritus from Fukushima that was not due till the new year, apparently it is all over the north coast of Ca. already.

They were all quite worried about it as well as their potential loss of livelihood. We are in the eye of the storm on the west coast and those who pretend it's not happening are foolish.

While the US Gov maybe mass murders, at least they hand out blankets, food and rebuild infrastructure that they blow up. And really, it's not mass murder, it's spreading democracy. And the proper Western way a life. Sad, but true. As the gov sees it anyways. US Government here; We will make you people civil, even if it kills you and destroys a generation.

I've never seen an alarming number on radiation network. someone is wrong

Tuna, salmon, crab and shrimp are the main seafoods I used to eat. I know in Japan you eat pretty much everything that moves under the water but that is not so common here. It's not just tuna and salmon. Starfish, sardines, and other marine life up and down our coast are experiencing weird symptoms and behavior. Seaweed on California beaches s radioactive now. That means everything is affected, not just migratory fish. Why the fuck would I eat it if I don't have to? Maybe if I just smile and be happy it won't hurt me.

How should I sample and measure seafood for radiation every time I want to eat it? Better to just avoid it. I occasionally eat Portuguese sardines to get some omega 3s and vitamin d but that's it.

Guess what, netc is all we've got because our government is doing fuck all. I have a small radiation detector that I will try out later today to see what's up since I'm smack dab in the middle of the radcon 4 and 5 alert area. I just need to find it ... It was packed up when we moved.

Large parts of docks have already been washing up on the Washington Coast for a year now. It makes a fast blip in the local news. In fact, not that long ago there was like 40 ft by 50ft section of something. The local government was so worried about non native sea life on it. They sealed off the area for days. Actually had men with blowtorches burn anything living off it. Thy dug up the dirt around it as well. But I don't remember what they did with the actual debris. I wish I had a link. Something similar happened on an Oregon beach about 10 months ago.
