You people know nothing about fallout or the myriad of killer radioisotopes that are created by nuclear fission.. The monitors look for cesium because it is easy to detect. Doesn't mean that is all there is floating around in the air you are breathing. Same with food.. The equipment needed to detect radiation in food is extremely expensive and not commonly available to the average consumer. You can run a wand over it for surface contamination but the interior contamination is undetected. And just because the readings may be low, doesn't mean that you are not accumulating contamination every day. But.. please, continue with your denialist fantasies of well-being. It makes the cover-up much easier for them.... Denialism http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Denialism [/quote] I agree that the planet's general slave population (myself included) is being lied to every day about most things including the radiation. You said: [i]you people know nothing[/i]. Buddy, you have no idea what we know. Didn't anybody ever tell you mean people suck? And just to clarify... are you contending that my not so expensive, not so hard to find geigerthingy http://www.amazon.com/Radiation-Alert-INSPECTORXTREME-Microprocessor-Based-Protective/dp/B004CCRIIE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1349806741&sr=8-1&keywords=inspector+exp http://www.geigercounters.com/CompareModels.htm cannot read the radiation inside the candy coated shell of my M&Ms because the Mars candy company has super powers to shield it's radiated content? LOL Wonderful - you should notify the Japanese government at once. [/quote] I may appear to be mean, but actually.. I am a benevolent spirit who is trying to wake people up. Take it or leave it. http://www.acq.osd.mil/ncbdp/narp/Radiation_Data/Radiation_Detection_and_Measurement.htm [snip] Radiation Detection and Measurement OVERVIEW a. Quantitative measurements of radioactive contamination in the field are difficult to accomplish properly. Particles having short ranges, such as alpha and low-energy beta radiation, are significantly and incalculably affected by minute amounts of overburden; e.g., dust or precipitation. Therefore, detection rather than measurement is a more realistic goal for alpha-beta surveys. More penetrating radiations, such as gamma and higher energy X-rays, are affected less by such overburden; however, quantification of isotopes through photon emissions requires isotopic- and geometry-specific response functions. b. Although uranium and plutonium are both alpha emitters, field survey of uranium is best accomplished by measuring beta emissions from the thorium and protactinium progeny. For plutonium, the best technique is to detect the accompanying contaminant Am-241, which emits a 60-keV gamma ray. Knowing the original assay and the age of the weapon, the ratio of plutonium to americium may be computed accurately and the total plutonium contamination determined. c. Many of the factors that may not be controlled in a field environment may be managed in a mobile laboratory that may be brought to an accident site. Typically, the capabilities include gamma spectroscopy, low background counting for very thin alpha- and beta-emitting samples, and liquid scintillation counters for extremely low-energy beta emitters such as tritium. -Nuclear radiation is not easy to quantify properly. Radiation detection is always a multi-step, highly indirect process. -Although the evaluation of minimum levels of detectability is a considerable quantitative challenge for instrumentation engineers, the task of determining whether a meter records anything is considered much easier than the quantitative interpretation of that reading. [b]Laboratory procedures are necessary to quantitatively measure radiation contamination. For this reason, mobile laboratories are available within the Department of Defense and the DOE/NNSA for deployment to an accident site. Although specific instrumentation shall vary, the types of laboratory analyses fall into three categories: gamma and X-ray spectroscopy, alpha-beta counting, and liquid scintillation. [/b] [/quote]

Looking through all the states, Virginia is really, really high. 100 is bad. 500 is very bad.
If you live in VA, how do you feel?

Washington looking bad too.
