****** GLP RADIATION REPORTING CENTER ******

GLP #1 for realtime in depth radiation reporting.

I suggest a PIN dont have any rad meter though
Wery good idea OP

Find a website that we can see a map and radiation detection in that area

the one map that was pinned earlier sucked i thought, but something alot more presentable would be better suited for this thread, as well as everyone keeping in thouch

Is there an online shop for these appliances?

Apparently a ustream is live with a Tokyo radiation detection device online for viewing. See this thread Thread: Live Tokyo Geiger Counter

Can anyone translate the Japanese below the video? I'm curious if the broadcaster is listing device specifications.

Yeah, the one I just posted?

Nothing for Hawaii....that's what I'd like to keep my eye on.

Is there a risk from flatulence ?

Pin this.
Gog damn, please pin this.

I am hoping that someone will start a radiation monitoring thread. I thought about it, but I work all day and could not maintain one.
If there is fallout traveling across the pacific ocean right now it is predicted to reach the US in 10-11 days. I don't feel we should trust the authorities to provide us with timely acurrate data on this.
The thread would have to be monitored to prevent people from posting bogus readings and trying to cause fear. Posts could be requested to have a link to their source.
I really hope that someone can do this, I am concerned that if these reactors keep failing and there is a true meltdown, the levels of fallout might become enough to impact the health of persons in the US.

I just posted this^^^ on a couple of the nuclear doom threads.
You are awesome.
I hope you will weed out the false reports.
I ordered a geiger counter on Friday so I will join the reporting when it arrives.
Thanks man.

Thank you, it will be good to have you join in, especially from Oregon. You'll be very helpful. As far as false reports, there really is no way to weed them out without 2nd or 3rd party validation. I suppose we could provide a link to a sanitized photo of our calibration cert. if a reading comes under scrutiny.

Excellent idea for this thread.
I bring up the false report issue because of past experience. I think the format that you posted with your equipment type, location, reading, weather conditions, etc. will be helpful.
Montana is a great place to be in these times. Do you live at 7500, or were you venturing into the mountains?
I live in the Willamette valley, a real dust/pollen trap especially in the summer...

Thanks for starting this thread! We are in Oregon and are very happy to see a fellow Oregonian who will post readings from your new gear. Got our KI and RAD stickers on the way. Bought the last little bottle of Iodine on the shelf at pharmacy Saturday. Rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it! Look forward to keeping an eye on this thread.

Sweet, Willamette Valley.....even better!!!

The only problem I see with this site is that it may be corrupted as time goes on and reflect inaccurate data. We need individuals with the tools to report their findings.

Enjoy

Great thread! Vote for a pin :)

Thanks, it's been posted already (thanks Madigan!). Welcome Canada! Grab a meter and join in?

The radiationnetwork is a nice tool, but has many weaknesses. Mainly the lack of participants. GLP Gets 100k or more visitors a day and has google wired for speed. It'd be a real nice data aggregator.

I also find suspect the instruments they sell and the certification standards they use. Don't get me wrong, it's made in the USA, in-house it appears. A lot of inspiring and great instruments got started as in-house projects. Maybe I am biased because I like analog meters.

Get a meter and join us! We need more nodes.



Nope not at 7050, but am 30 mins from the Park entrance with good road conditions, no cops and no deer. :) Willamette Valley... it means the Valley Of Poison in navajo because of the pollen I think.



Thanks, welcome! Chances are you guys are going to be the first to know about it- being on the front lines, but we'll see what the jet stream brings to us. Shelter in place if necessary!

Yep. With empirical evidence of findings if they go into alert.



Is that the home-made kit? The last stream I watched was a DIY kit heh.





Hello there. Welcome and thanks, hopefully we can make some sense out of this and see if we really have doom inbound. I can't think of any other live news source faster than GLP.

Pin this please, vote for pin.

Anyone familiar with doing those custom google maps? Might be nice to track levels with that - keep it pinned as the plume makes it's way across the pond

I'm in florida and broke...no counter to participate...but will certainly be checking frequently

pin + 5*

I recommend EBay, just find a trusted powerseller that is licensed under the state Dept. of Radiological Health (or lateral agency) to maintain, calibrate manufacture and / or certify equipment. I've not done it, but a friend did and got a nice mobile unit for about $500. Came with a check-source and GM probe. Fully calibrated and ready to go to work.

Even the civil defense and surplus models work and will save your bacon when calibrated and properly used.

I agree, Elmer, my friend

Thank you everyone for the pin suggest, I haven't even clicked it since we have only one (soon two) stations reporting in periodically. The second will be a station in Idaho Falls, South of me. It will be great to get more people involved. I know we have GLP'ers with meters out there. We could really use some coastal stations, or at least states in the Pacific Northwest to come online.
