Fukushima Caused Radioactive Rain And Snow To Fall In USA - EPA Relaxed Rules To Allow Massive Radiation Contamination In Drinking Water - Downwind Fallout Measurements Information - Global Fallout Measurement - EPA Radiation Monitors - Baby Tooth Survey

HOW INVISIBLE HEAVY METAL POISONOUS RADIATION SPREADS GLOBALLY, EVERYONE GOT DOSED WITH 2,000 RADIOACTIVE HEAVY METAL POISONS AFTER CHERNOBYL AND AGAIN AFTER THE FUKUSHIMA MEGA NUCLEAR DISASTER

Take a look at this NOAA provided graphic to see an example of how the Fukushima radiation spread over the entire ocean. Just because the US is shown in white, does not mean those radioactive particles stopped at the border and did not come into the US airspace, ground, water and rain. What long term impact will it have? Where is it bio accumulating? What (imported Japanese/Belarus/TMI) area foods or drinks are potentially hazardous and should be avoided?

SLEET AND SNOW FALLING IN US AT THIS LOCATION WAS NOT 'NORMAL'

Arkansas gets radioactive sleet and rain
VIDEO: https://youtu.be/u5Xn2iJFlBs 5 min


The sleet and snow that fell on January 15, 2013 in White County, Arkansas was not 'normal' background radiation, as it should be. Background levels in this area are 35 cpm. The sleet and snow was showing a radiation alert level above 100 CPM. Since all radiation is invisible, the only way to find out of snow or rain is dangerous is to measure it with either a Geiger counter or a more sophisticated radiation detection device. 

EVIDENCE AND DATA; SPECIFIC GAMMA RADIATION MEASURED IN RAINFALL INSIDE THE USA, MAY 2012, FROM RADIOACTIVE CESIUM AND BERYLLIUM 7








































EPA data says Fukushima is all across USA!

Michael York Be7= Beryllium7. As for reading, pCi/L might be picoCuries? per Liter, measurement of radioactivity, +/- 2 microns. Cs137 is a particularly soluable radioisotope of cesium, frequently used to identify radiation leakage from a variety of sources, as it's readily identifiable.

IS RADIOACTIVE RAIN OR SNOW ABOVE 100 CPM HAZARDOUS? 


The high levels only lasted about 24 hours indicating a short half life of the hot particles, such as radium or possibly radon. Can this kind of radiation exposure reduce the immune system strength and may be a cause for recent spikes in flu and illness in this area and others? Without further research, no one knows the answer to that. 

Dust; Radioactive particles produced by nuclear explosions. These particles are known as fallout.... When the atmosphere cools, water vapor condenses around condensation nuclei in the form of rain droplets or snow crystals.

In other words, no matter where nuclear 'hot' particles come from, they drift on the wind or the jetstream, and then those particles for the nuclei for rain drops or snowflakes.

GLOBAL RADIATION LEVELS IN AIR AND GROUND SPIKED UPWARDS DURING 2,000 PLUS ATOMIC BOMB TESTS


Wikipedia; "After an air burst, (or nuclear accident) fission products, un-fissioned nuclear material, and weapon residues vaporized by the heat of the fireball condense into a fine suspension of small particles 10 nm to 20 µm in diameter. These particles may be quickly drawn up into the stratosphere, particularly if the explosive yield exceeds 10 kt.
Atmospheric nuclear weapon tests almost doubled the concentration of radioactive 14C in the Northern Hemisphere, before levels slowly declined following the Partial Test Ban Treaty.

Initially little was known about the dispersion of nuclear fallout on a global scale. The AEC assumed that fallout would be dispersed evenly across the globe by atmospheric winds and gradually settle to the Earth's surface after weeks, months, and even years as worldwide fallout.



HAZARD FROM RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT IS LONG TERM; IT DOES NOT JUST MAGICALLY DISAPPEAR


The radio-biological hazard of worldwide fallout is essentially a long-term one because of the potential accumulation of long-lived radioisotopes (such as strontium-90 and caesium-137) in the body as a result of ingestion of foods containing the radioactive materials. This hazard is less pertinent than local fallout, which is of much greater immediate operational concern.

Severe local fallout contamination can extend far beyond the blast and thermal effects, particularly in the case of high yield surface detonations. The ground track of fallout from an explosion depends on the weather from the time of detonation onwards. In stronger winds, fallout travels faster but takes the same time to descend, so although it covers a larger path, it is more spread out or diluted.

THUNDERSTORMS CAN BRING FALLOUT DOWN THOUSANDS OF MILES FROM THE SOURCE IN HIGH AND DEADLY CONCENTRATIONS


So the width of the fallout pattern for any given dose rate is reduced where the downwind distance is increased by higher winds. The total amount of activity deposited up to any given time is the same irrespective of the wind pattern, so overall casualty figures from fallout are generally independent of winds. But thunderstorms can bring down activity as rain more rapidly than dry fallout, particularly if the mushroom cloud is low enough to be below ("washout"), or mixed with ("rainout"), the thunderstorm.

Whenever individuals remain in a radiologically contaminated area, such contamination leads to an immediate external radiation exposure as well as a possible later internal hazard from inhalation and ingestion of radiocontaminants, such as the rather short-lived iodine-131, which is accumulated in the thyroid.

In case of water surface bursts, the particles tend to be rather lighter and smaller, producing less local fallout but extending over a greater area. The particles contain mostly sea salts with some water; these can have a cloud seeding effect causing local rainout and areas of high local fallout. Fallout from a seawater burst is difficult to remove once it has soaked into porous surfaces because the fission products are present as metallic ions that chemically bond to many surfaces. Water and detergent washing effectively removes less than 50% of this chemically bonded activity from concrete or steel. 

Complete decontamination requires aggressive treatment like sandblasting, or acidic treatment. After the Crossroads underwater test, it was found that wet fallout must be immediately removed from ships by continuous water washdown (such as from the fire sprinkler system on the decks).

BLOWN UP SOIL OR SEA BOTTOM CAN AND DOES BECOME DEADLY FALLOUT


Parts of the sea bottom may become fallout. After the Castle Bravo test, white dust—contaminated calcium oxide particles originating from pulverized and calcined corals—fell for several hours, causing beta burns and radiation exposure to the inhabitants of the nearby atolls and the crew of the Daigo Fukuryū Maru fishing boat. The scientists called the fallout Bikini snow.

For subsurface bursts, there is an additional phenomenon present called "base surge". The base surge is a cloud that rolls outward from the bottom of the subsiding column, which is caused by an excessive density of dust or water droplets in the air. For underwater bursts, the visible surge is, in effect, a cloud of liquid (usually water) droplets with the property of flowing almost as if it were a homogeneous fluid. After the water evaporates, an invisible base surge of small radioactive particles may persist.

For subsurface land bursts, the surge is made up of small solid particles, but it still behaves like a fluid. A soil earth medium favors base surge formation in an underground burst. Although the base surge typically contains only about 10% of the total bomb debris in a subsurface burst, it can create larger radiation doses than fallout near the detonation, because it arrives sooner than fallout, before much radioactive decay has occurred.

WINDS CAN SPREAD FALLOUT FOR HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF MILES DOWNWIND, ESPECIALLY VIA JET STREAM


Meteorological conditions greatly influence fallout, particularly local fallout. Atmospheric winds are able to bring fallout over large areas. For example, as a result of a Castle Bravo surface burst of a 15 Mt thermonuclear device at Bikini Atoll on March 1, 1954, a roughly cigar-shaped area of the Pacific extending over 500 km downwind and varying in width to a maximum of 100 km was severely contaminated. 

There are three very different versions of the fallout pattern from this test, because the fallout was only measured on a small number of widely spaced Pacific Atolls. The two alternative versions both ascribe the high radiation levels at north Rongelap to a downwind hotspot caused by the large amount of radioactivity carried on fallout particles of about 50-100 micrometres size.[1]

After Bravo, it was discovered that fallout landing on the ocean disperses in the top water layer (above the thermocline at 100 m depth), and the land equivalent dose rate can be calculated by multiplying the ocean dose rate at two days after burst by a factor of about 530. In other 1954 tests, including Yankee and Nectar, hotspots were mapped out by ships with submersible probes, and similar hotspots occurred in 1956 tests such as Zuni and Tewa. [2] 

However, the major U.S. 'DELFIC' (Defence Land Fallout Interpretive Code) computer calculations use the natural size distributions of particles in soil instead of the afterwind sweep-up spectrum, and this results in more straightforward fallout patterns lacking the downwind hotspot.

SNOW AND RAINFALL ACCELERATE LOCAL FALLOUT


Snow and rain, especially if they come from considerable heights, accelerate local fallout. Under special meteorological conditions, such as a local rain shower that originates above the radioactive cloud, limited areas of heavy contamination just downwind of a nuclear blast may be formed.

DELAYED EFFECTS


A wide range of biological changes may follow the irradiation of animals. These vary from rapid death following high doses of penetrating whole-body radiation, to essentially normal lives for a variable period of time until the development of delayed radiation effects, in a portion of the exposed population, following low dose exposures.

The unit of actual exposure is the röntgen, defined in ionisations per unit volume of air. All ionisation based instruments (including geiger counters and ionisation chambers) measure exposure. However, effects depend on the energy per unit mass, not the exposure measured in air. A deposit of 1 joule per kilogram has the unit of 1 gray (Gy). For 1 MeV energy gamma rays, an exposure of 1 röntgen in air produces a dose of about 0.01 gray (1 centigray, cGy) in water or surface tissue. Because of shielding by the tissue surrounding the bones, the bone marrow only receives about 0.67 cGy when the air exposure is 1 röntgen and the surface skin dose is 1 cGy. Some lower values reported for the amount of radiation that would kill 50% of personnel (theLD50) refer to bone marrow dose, which is only 67% of the air dose.

Short term

Further information:

The dose that would be lethal to 50% of a population is a common parameter used to compare the effects of various fallout types or circumstances. Usually, the term is defined for a specific time, and limited to studies of acute lethality. The common time periods used are 30 days or less for most small laboratory animals and to 60 days for large animals and humans. The LD50 figure assumes that the individuals did not receive other injuries or medical treatment.

FATAL DOSES


In the 1950s, the LD50 for gamma rays was set at 3.5 Gy, while under more dire conditions of war (a bad diet, little medical care, poor nursing) the LD50 was 2.5 Gy (250 rad). There have been few documented cases of survival beyond 6 Gy. One person at Chernobyl survived a dose of more than 10 Gy, but many of the persons exposed there were not uniformly exposed over their entire body. If a person is exposed in a non-homogeneous manner then a given dose (averaged over the entire body) is less likely to be lethal. 

For instance, if a person gets a hand/low arm dose of 100 Gy, which gives them an overall dose of 4 Gy, they are more likely to survive than a person who gets a 4 Gy dose over their entire body. A hand dose of 10 Gy or more would likely result in loss of the hand. A British industrial radiographer who got a lifetime hand dose of 100 Gy lost his hand because of radiation dermatitis. Most people become ill after an exposure to 1 Gy or more. The fetuses of pregnant women are often more vulnerable to radiation and may miscarry, especially in the first trimester.

One hour after a surface burst, the radiation from fallout in the crater region is 30 grays per hour (Gy/h). Civilian dose rates in peacetime range from 30 to 100 µGy per year.

EXPERIMENTS ON MILITARY TROOPS


For yields of up to 10 kt, prompt radiation is the dominant producer of casualties on the battlefield. Humans receiving an acute incapacitating dose (30 Gy) have their performance degraded almost immediately and become ineffective within several hours. However, they do not die until five to six days after exposure, assuming they do not receive any other injuries. Individuals receiving less than a total of 1.5 Gy are not incapacitated. People receiving doses greater than 1.5 Gy become disabled, and some eventually die.

A dose of 5.3 Gy to 8.3 Gy is considered lethal but not immediately incapacitating. Personnel exposed to this amount of radiation have their performance degraded in two to three hours, depending on how physically demanding the tasks they must perform are, and remain in this disabled state at least two days. However, at that point they experience a recovery period and can perform non-demanding tasks for about six days, after which they relapse for about four weeks. At this time they begin exhibiting symptoms of radiation poisoning of sufficient severity to render them totally ineffective. Death follows at approximately six weeks after exposure, although outcomes may vary.

LONG TERM EFFECTS

Comparison of predicted fallout "hotline" with test results in the 3.53 Mt 15% fission Zuni test at Bikini in 1956. The predictions were made under simulated tactical nuclear war conditions aboard ship by Edward A. Schuert.

Following the detonation of the first atomic bomb, pre-war steel became a valuable commodity for scientists since it was the only steel not contaminated by radiation.

Late or delayed effects of radiation occur following a wide range of doses and dose rates. Delayed effects may appear months to years after irradiation and include a wide variety of effects involving almost all tissues or organs. Some of the possible delayed consequences of radiation injury are life shortening,carcinogenesis, cataract formation, chronicradiodermatitis, decreased fertility, and genetic mutations.[3]

Presently, the only teratological effect observed in humans following nuclear attacks on highly populated areas is microcephaly which is the only proven malformation, or congenital abnormality, found in the in utero developing human fetuses present during the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Of all the pregnant women exposed in the two cities, the number of children born with microcephaly was below 50.[4]

BABY TOOTH SURVEY


The Baby Tooth Survey helped to determine the effects of nuclear fallout in the human anatomy by examining the levels of radioactive material absorbed into thedeciduous teeth of children. Founded by the husband and wife team of physicians Eric Reiss and Louise Reiss, the research focused on detecting the presence of strontium-90, a cancer-causing radioactive isotope created by the more than 400 atomic tests conducted above ground that is absorbed from water and dairy products into the bones and teeth given its chemical similarity to calcium. The team sent collection forms to schools in the St. Louis, Missouri area, hoping to gather 50,000 teeth each year. Ultimately, the project collected over 300,000 teeth from children of various ages before the project was ended in 1970.[9]

Preliminary results of the Baby Tooth Survey were published in the November 24, 1961, edition of the journal Science, and showed that levels of strontium 90 had risen steadily in children born in the 1950s, with those born later showing the most pronounced increases.[10] The results of a more comprehensive study of the elements found in the teeth collected showed that children born after 1963 had levels of strontium 90 in their baby teeth that was 50 times higher than that found in children born before large-scale atomic testing began. The findings helped convince U.S. President John F. Kennedy to sign the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty with the United Kingdom and Soviet Union, which ended the above-ground nuclear weapons testing that created the greatest amounts of atmospheric nuclear fallout.[11]

FALLOUT PROTECTION

Main article: Fallout shelter

During the Cold War, the governments of the U.S., the USSR, Great Britain, and China attempted to educate their citizens about surviving a nuclear attack by providing procedures on minimizing short-term exposure to fallout. This effort commonly became known as Civil Defense.

Fallout protection is almost exclusively concerned with protection from radiation. Radiation from fallout is encountered in the forms of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation, and as ordinary clothing affords protection from alpha and beta radiation,[12] most fallout protection measures deal with reducing exposure to gamma radiation.[13] For the purposes of radiation shielding, many materials have a characteristic halving thickness: the thickness of a layer of a material sufficient to reduce gamma radiation exposure by 50%. Halving thicknesses of common materials include: 1 cm (0.4 inch) of lead, 6 cm (2.4 inches) of concrete, 9 cm (3.6 inches) of packed earth or 150 m (500 ft) of air. When multiple thicknesses are built, the shielding multiplies. A practical fallout shield is ten halving-thicknesses of a given material, such as 90 cm (36 inches) of packed earth, which reduces gamma ray exposure by approximately 1024 times (210).[14][15] A shelter built with these materials for the purposes of fallout protection is known as a fallout shelter.

The danger of radiation from fallout also decreases with time, as radioactivity decays exponentially with time, such that for each factor of seven increase in time, the radiation is reduced by a factor of ten. For example, after 7 hours, the average dose rate is reduced by a factor of ten; after 49 hours, it is reduced by a further factor of ten (to 1/100th); after two weeks the radiation from the fallout will have reduced by a factor of 1000 compared the initial level; and after 14 weeks the average dose rate will have reduced to 1/10,000th of the initial level.[15]

NUCLEAR REACTOR ACCIDENTS


Fallout can also refer to nuclear accidents, although a nuclear reactor does not explode like a nuclear weapon. The isotopic signature of bomb fallout is very different from the fallout from a serious power reactor accident (such as Chernobyl or Fukushima). The Fukushima plants have tons of nuclear fuel, thousands of Fuel Assemblies, more than 6,000 fuel rods[16] in spent fuel pools.

The key differences are in volatility and half-life.

EPA TURNS OF MOST RADIATION SENSORS; CLAIMING THAT THEY 'DON'T WORK'


2015 - WALL STREET JOURNAL; Radiation Sensors in Major U.S. Cities Turned Off Because They Don’t Work

Most stations run by EPA can’t monitor for beta particles in real time, prompting criticism; agency says monitoring for gamma rays is enough

A national radiation-monitoring system enhanced after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks isn’t working as intended, with nearly three-quarters of stations not checking for a type of radiation in real time, including ones in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

Environmental Protection Agency officials confirmed 99 of 135 beta-radiation sensors in its RadNet system—which monitors in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico—aren’t working and have been turned off. Officials blame electromagnetic interference from sources such as cellphone towers and said efforts to resolve the problem have been unsuccessful.

WHY ARE AUTHORITIES NOT ANNOUNCING AIRBORNE, RAIN BORNE, SNOW BORNE RADIATION LEVELS, AS PART OF WEATHER? FUKUSHIMA FALLOUT HIT THE US HARD


Why are the authorities not warning parents to keep children out of this wintery mix of snow and radiation?  Wouldn't it be better to err on the side of caution and announce the level of radiation and let people make up their minds whether or not to let their kids play in it, or eat the snow? 

Not creating panic or concern seems to be more important than public safety. Why warn parents that exposure to the snow and sleet is equal to flying at 30,000 feet or exposure levels for nuclear plant workers?

These high radiation readings are not being investigated by any nuclear regulators, nuclear plant operators, or nuclear scientists who are part of the nuclear industry.

There are radiation readings taken by other researchers, which show the same type of thing happening in other parts of the USA.


Radiation Continues Spreading and Spiking Across USA


A NUCLEAR RADIATION RAIN OUT


A rainout is the process of precipitation causing the removal of radioactive particles from the atmosphere onto the ground, [1] creatingnuclear fallout by rain. The rainclouds of the rainout are often formed by the particles of a nuclear explosion itself and because of this, the decontamination of rainout is more difficult than a "dry" fallout.

Factors affecting rainout


Wikipedia; "A rainout could occur in the vicinity of ground zero or the contamination could be carried aloft before deposition depending on the current atmospheric conditions and how the explosion occurred. The explosion, or burst, can be air, surface, subsurface, or seawater. 

An air burst will produce less fallout than a comparable explosion near the ground due to less particulate being contaminated. Detonations at the surface will tend to produce more fallout material. In case of water surface bursts, the particles tend to be rather lighter and smaller, producing less local fallout but extending over a greater area. 

The particles contain mostly sea salts with some water; these can have a cloud seeding effect causing local rainout and areas of high local fallout. Fallout from a seawater burst is difficult to remove once it has soaked into porous surfaces because the fission products are present as metallic ions which become chemically bonded to many surfaces. For subsurface bursts, there is an additional phenomenon present called "base surge". 

The base surge is a cloud that rolls outward from the bottom of the subsiding column, which is cause by an excessive density of dust or water droplets in the air. This surge is made up of small solid particles, but it still behaves like a fluid. A soil earth medium favors base surge formation in an underground burst. 

Although the base surge typically contains only about 10% of the total bomb debris in a subsurface burst, it can create larger radiation doses than fallout near the detonation, because it arrives sooner than fallout, before much radioactive decay has occurred. For underwater bursts, the visible surge is, in effect, a cloud of liquid (usually water) droplets with the property of flowing almost as if it were a homogeneous fluid. After the water evaporates, an invisible base surge of small radioactive particles may persist.

Meteorogically, snow and rain will accelerate local fallout. Under special meteorological conditions, such as a local rain shower that originates above the radio-active cloud, limited areas of heavy contamination just downwind of a nuclear blast may be formed. Rain on an area contaminated by a surface burst changes the pattern of radioactive intensities by washing off higher elevations, buildings, equipment, and vegetation. This reduces intensities in some areas and possibly increases intensities in drainage systems; on low ground; and in flat, poorly drained areas.[2]

Could these high radiation readings in snow and rain be the end product of radiation releases from Fukushima?

Before 1963, the United States and other countries conducted more than 500 nuclear weapons tests in the atmosphere. During these tests, radioactive particles and gases were spread in the atmosphere. Depending on the size and type of weapon that was exploded, some of these particles and gases traveled great distances before falling to earth (called fallout) where people could be exposed to the radiation.

Radioactive fallout was deposited all over the world, so many people were exposed to it. Even today, radioactive fallout is present in all parts of the world in small amounts, and that radioactive fallout can be detected in every human being on Earth. 

IS RADIOACTIVE RAIN AND SNOW THE NEW NORM?


Radioactive rain and snow may become the new 'normal'. How does rain interact with radioactive gases and particles released both from nuclear power plants and nuclear accidents, such as Fukushima? 

Certainly the public is not being informed about this, much less that they were exposed to a deadly, toxic, and cancer causing radioactive but invisible gas that comes from nuclear accidents, but also from every single nuclear reactor or facility. Even if it is not dangerous to be out in this 100 CPM rain or snow, the whole subject of bio accumulation of radiation in food and drinks is being ignored and denied as a subject for monitoring or research, even by the agencies that are supposed to be doing it, such as the EPA, FDA and NRC.

EPA HAS CHANGED THE RULES TO BENEFIT THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY 

Instead of protecting public health from low dose cumulative radiation by lowering the insanely high 1,200 Bq/kg radiation limit for food and drinks, the EPA has raised the amount of radiation allowed in drinking water. 

What is worse perhaps than radioactive rain is that the EPA has changed the rules of the game even under today's relaxed radiation exposure standards. As the new standards are put in place, just ONE glass of water could expose an average adult to a lifetime’s permissible radiation exposure according to today's guidelines. 

If a nuclear accident happens in the US today, the clean up standards of today are so lax that people can get cancer downwind and there is nothing wrong with that, as it is just 'normal' exposure, and no immediate harm was caused.

WHAT WILL NEW PAG EPA DRINKING WATER LIMITS DO IF PEOPLE ARE EXPOSED TO MAXIMUM RADIATION ALLOWED, FOR MORE THAN A BRIEF PERIOD? 


Stuart Walker of the Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation, talks about what these new radiation limits for drinking water will do: 

“It also appears that drinking water at the PAG concentrations…may lead to subchronic (acute) effects following exposures of a day or a week. In a population, one should see some express acute effects…that is vomiting, fever, etc.” 

“This critical debate is taking place entirely behind closed doors because this plan is ‘guidance’ and does not require public notice as a regulation would,” stated PEER Counsel Christine Erickson. Today, PEER sent EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson a letter calling for a more open and broader examination of the proposed radiation guidance. “We all deserve to know why some in the agency want to legitimize exposing the public to radiation at levels vastly higher than what EPA officially considers dangerous.” 

NUCLEAR ACCIDENTS MUCH MORE COMMON THAN PEOPLE BELIEVE, AND DEATHS PLUS DISEASES FROM INVISIBLE MAN MADE IONIZING RADIOACTIVE HEAVY METAL POISONS IS MUCH MORE COMMON THAN REPORTED


According to the nuclear industry, no one ever died from a nuclear accident. The facts and scientific studies prove the opposite. 

Now the nuclear industry is pushing for long-term post Fukushima style accident radiation cleanup limits that are thousands of times more loose than anything ever seen before.

 To get the total Gamma radiation exposure or reading, one has to add all of these 'ranges' or layers together.

WHY THE EPA RADIATION DETECTORS DELIVER THE MOST ACCURATE, MOST 'TRUE' RADIATION READINGS


The EPA uses the most expensive, the most sensitive, and most accurate radiation detectors in the world. These CPM radiation readings are the most honest, most true radiation readings available anywhere. Because they are so high, most people will not believe them. But that does not change the data or evidence. Evidence and data do not care whether you believe them or not. Radiation detection networks other than the EPA use much cheaper, less sensitive Geiger Counters, including tube type detectors, which measure only a very small fraction of the total radiation in the air. 

Even a more expensive pancake type detector will only 'see' a small subsection of any EPA radiation detector. Why? Because the cheaper the detector, the less sensitive it is, and the less it 'sees'. Just because a cheap radiation detector only sees 20 CPM does not mean that is all the radiation that is there.

A tube type very cheap Geiger Counter using a pixel camera type radiation detector may only 'see' 5 to 100 CPM in the same location that a more expensive pancake style Geiger counter detector 'sees' 1000 CPM, depending on factors such as the radiation type, time and distance. 

What is the true amount of the TOTAL radiation out there at any given time? To measure that, one could find out by setting up 1,000 radiation detectors each tuned indivually to measure just one of 1,000 plus different isotopes and other radioactive poisons by their keV 'signature'.

But one would need three different types of detectors, (alpha, beta, gamma), which would total 4,000 radiation detectors in one location. Then add them all of the radiation measured by all 4,000 radiation meters together to get the total of all radiation given off by all of these 1,000 plus invisible heavy metal radioactive poisons. The EPA comes closest to measuring the TRUE amount of radiation everyone is exposed to, but even they downplay the results, in multiple ways. 

First, they measure only gamma radiation in 9 ranges, but they completely ignore beta and alpha radiation. This reduces the total amount of radiation by a factor of approximately 3. 

Second the peaks of radiation are averaged out over a period of ONE HOUR. The EPA used to average peaks out over 10 minutes. The change to 1 hour allows the radiation readings to be lowered artificially. High radiation levels most often come in peaks, so the TRUE peak radiation levels are much higher than the EPA is reporting, even though it seems like these GAMMA radiation readings are already shockingly high.

Bob Nichols only uses EPA radiation data, which is the best in the world as far as accuracy, scientific data, and standardization as well as sensitivity. There is no better source of radiation measurement information. He has been an anti nuclear activist and whistle blower for approximately 50 years. You can count on what he says. 

Gamma Radiation Report: YRTW SOL No 5 and 6
By Bob Nichols on February 25, 2017

SUMMARY


What does a dying nation look and feel? The few people that know the truth, hide behind closed doors and secret proceedings, but the physicists and people working at the nine nuclear labs, plus the physicists at the EPA, know that very high ionizing radiation exposure is now the RULE for the whole US population. Before 1945, yes, there was radiation exposure, but that was before the nuclear age, 400 nuclear plants, multiple 'recycling' facilities and over 2,000 atomic bomb 'tests', plus numerous spills, releases, and accidents.

All of that heavy metal radioactive poison got delivered to the world, and can now be measured in EVERYONE. The only difference is how much of a radioactive heavy metal poison load you and your family are carrying inside, compared to anyone else, but everything outside of K40, is man made.

In case of a nuclear accident, assuming 'new' and improved radiation 'guidelines' are imposed in an emergency on all US citizens, like they were in Japan during the Fukushima accident, with no warning at all, it will be ok for every man, woman and child to be exposed to even higher levels of invisible radiation poison products, provided free of charge by the nuclear industry. At the EPA levels 'allowed' legally by the EPA, every person is practically guaranteed to die of some radiation poisoning disease from the radiation levels allowed during or after a nuclear accident. Because it is all 'legal' no one can sue anyone for harm or deaths caused..

Of course, they will cover up all of this, just like they have done at every nuclear accident in history.

Protect yourself, because no one else will!
