NYTimes: “Oregon could lie in the path of any new radioactive plumes” from Fukushima

THIS IS A PSYOP. They do not anyone to witness the My. Shasta Arrival. You FAILed REMEMBER.


WE ARE HERE.

An internal audit has confirmed observers’ concerns that many of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s radiation monitors were out of service at the height of the 2011 Fukushima power plant meltdown in Japan [...]

RadNet consists of 124 stations scattered throughout U.S. territories and 40 deployable air monitors that can be sent to take readings anywhere, according to the IG report. [...]

At the time of the Fukushima crisis, “this critical infrastructure asset” was impaired because many monitors were broken, while others had not undergone filter changes in so long that they could not be used to accurately detect real-time radiation levels, the IG report says.

“On March 11, 2011, at the time of the Japan nuclear incident, 25 of the 124 installed RadNet monitors, or 20 percent, were out of service for an average of 130 days,” the report says. “In addition, six of the 12 RadNet monitors we sampled (50 percent) had gone over eight weeks without a filter change, and two of those for over 300 days,” the report adds, noting that EPA policy calls on operators to change the filters twice per week.

Currently, “EPA remains behind schedule for installing” radiation monitors and has not resolved contracting issues identified as causing similar problems with the system in a 2009 audit, the report says. “Until EPA improves contractor oversight, the agency’s ability to use RadNet data to protect human health and the environment, and meet requirements established in the National Response Framework for Radiological Incidents, is potentially impaired.” [...]

was checking out a geiger counter site this morning and they had a 'demo map' up for radiation readings in the us. the map was dated 2004, and had the 4 corners area at a whopping 139 CPM. MUCH MUCH higher than any of the readings NOW, even after fukushima. if you look at any of the radiation monitoring sites (and are fortunate enough to find one actually loading and current), 100 CPM is considered alarm level and nowhere in the us does it show levels even remotely that high.

We’re going to see another year of these rainouts
Rainout= When hot particles get dropped from radioactive clouds during rainstorms
Official say radiation levels minute and no health risk
Working with scientists who are publishing paper that will definitively prove that to be wrong
Rainouts are occurring not just in Pacific NW… we will continue to see rainouts

Some people are just waking up to the basic realities of wind currents over a year after the fact. Heck the Japanese had those facts down many decades ago.



And you who think that ambient readings of radiation indicates risk, maybe deceiving yourselves seriously.

The risk here is not radiation per-se, but rather radioactive material.

Much of this radioactive material are emitters that will be little or hardly noticed by a Geiger counter, but if they lodge or concentrate in places inside the body they cause permanent damage in a small area and seed cancers.

Natural background levels in most places on the planet and in most of the US before Fuku was around 25cpm. If people are getting readings of 60 or 100 they are already well above natural background levels.

How long have you owned your Geiger counters? Knowing what readings you were getting before Fukushima is helpful in making up you own mind on the issue.

The hitch is, is at these levels it is not the radiation itself that is a hazard, but ingestion of radioactive material.

People who have regular Geiger counters need to test air filters, like from cars or buildings, and see if there is a significantly higher rate in the air filter than in normal ambient readings. If there is, that is cause for concern.
