How would an Air Force plane Irradiate some place? .... If they crashed with a nuclear missile or bomb on their wing the bomb would only irradiate the area if the outer casing cracked. That is not a common thing even if the plane crashes. I doubt very seriously that Travis AFB would have been created because of a radioactive plane crash. That is just a ridiculous statement.

Ok, so I have been slacking on the updating. But there really has not been any change.

Here are pictures of my detector, and the location I have it placed.

I set it to detect Sieverts for the unit of measure for a while because I saw alot of the news sites giving their readings as Sieverts. I was getting .05 and .06 MicroSieverts/Hr.

So I am going to say that 5 microRem/hr = .05 microSieverts/hr.

Oh, and don't worry about those CPS Neutrons on the detector that is not constant, maybe once every few hours it will catch a neutron.

I don't know why it cuts off the right side of my pictures, I made them smaller and that didn't help, If you go to my profile you should be able to see the whole picture.

Still staying between 5 and 6 mRem/Hr.

Readings are between 5.5 - 6.5 mRem/hr today.

I just put my Geiger Counter on Pachube, updates every 5 minutes, historical data available . Its located just south of downtown San Diego, in Imperial Beach. The site is here.

The geiger counter uses a Russian made SBM-20 Beta and Gamma detector.

Awesome, keep it up.

It's gone back down to between 5 - 6 mRem/hr here

just check and my readings have steadily been increasing since 8pm yesterday, confirmed the increase on radnet .

I am getting between 5 - 6.5 mRem/hr now.

Not much change here.

I've noticed a strong correlation between spikes and early morning fog density. I'm going to put a webcam somewhere I can get some time lapse images to confirm.

I just saw this, and i just turned my radiac on, I havn't been checking since my last post.

I'll have a reading in a minute.

I am getting between 6 - 6.5 microRoengtens/Hr. The normal background here before Fukushima was 4.5 - 5 mR/Hr.

not even 2x higher and I am using official Govt. gear.

Nothing crazy here

I will keep this thread updated as the levels go up or down. But I still have stuff to do, so there will be hours at a time that I do not update

And that will keep me checking up on this thread. I'm in Apple valley, a good two hours No. of you so keep us posted on your findings.

That 964 must be an error of some kind then, yes?

That is what it sounds like to me. I believe someone on the other thread said they were known to show large inaccuracies.

And I know for a fact my detector gets calibrated every six months.

Anyone who sees this in the area is going to be
highly concerned. I certainly hope its a mistake.
Will return for updates - thanks.
