I wonder if this is a mistake or for real. I checked another radiation tracking site and they don't show anything out of the ordinary.


Actually blackcatsystems was showing readings close to Alabama of 40. Their baseline number for danger is 28. It wasn't directly in the same place but was the closest reading station on that site.

If anybody could send a link to an external image to show the alert when it was happening, that would be great. As the website is updated every minute, it's not hard to say the minute they got an alert the other one it is gone to 0 by covering that up.

Anyways my point isn't to getting into conspiracy theory but just to clearly see the alert on the map as it was around 6-7 AM as a couple of ATSers said.

We already had that iodine 141 in the rain last days and here is SWITZERLAND. Anyway, some of you should go here, fast!

Hey all. I'm in Boston and I'm not too worried. I will pay close attention to the news and the various radiation monitoring sites. I will drink my tap water and eat my normal foods and I will let my child play outside. It's a terrible situation IN JAPAN and yes the radiation will go global and MAYBE Pacific states should be a BIT worried but, the rest of us will be fine. Panic will get you taking rad-tabs which can be harmful and panic detracts attention away from JAPAN where it needs to be. The amounts of radiation found here and as of yet everywhere in the US are trace amounts and not harmful to life.

When looking at the Alabama anomaly do not forget that north Alabama has its own nuclear plant. TVA's Browns Ferry nuclear plant. The source of the spike could have been more local, if it wasn't a false reading.

this is a opportunistic cover-up. the mainstream media is trying every maneuver to cast every radiological readings as being attributed to the fukushima accident. this is being used as a domestic cover-up regarding our own country's woes with nuclear wastes and numerous accounts of radioactive contamination and a dangerous level of safety violations occurring on a regular basis.

look here more more info:

www.beyondnuclear.org...


That cloud spewing out of the Indian Point nuclear plant last month wasn't a smoke signal - it was radioactive steam. For two days starting Nov. 2, an estimated 600,000 gallons of boiling, radioactive water escaped through a valve that was stuck open in the Unit 2 reactor of the nuclear power plant in Westchester. The superheated water instantly turned to steam and spread out over the lower Hudson Valley in a cloud containing tritium, a cancer-causing radioactive isotope. Read more: www.nydailynews.com...


Epidemic of Radioactivity Leaks from U.S. Nuclear Plants Includes Irradiated Fuel Pools



Beyond Nuclear’s April 2010 report Leak First, Fix Later 1 documents radioactivity leaks at over 100 nuclear power plants in the U.S. since the early 1960s. The frequency and size of leaks is growing worse as reactors, and their underground piping systems, degrade with age. But in addition to controversial leaking pipes, as at Vermont Yankee beginning in January 2010, the U.S. has suffered a growing number of leaking irradiated nuclear fuel storage pools, as first highlighted in early 2006 by Dave Lochbaum, Union of Concerned Scientists’ Nuclear Safety Project Director. 2


www.beyondnuclear.org...



The highly-publicized leaks of radioactive hydrogen – or tritium – from buried pipes at the Braidwood, Oyster Creek and Vermont Yankee nuclear power plants have drawn attention to a more widespread and longstanding problem analyzed by a new report from Beyond Nuclear. Leak First, Fix Later: Uncontrolled and Unmonitored Radioactive Releases from Nuclear Power Plants finds leaking U.S. reactors are now ubiquitous. There is evidence of 15 radioactive leaks from March 2009 through April 16, 2010 from buried pipe systems at 13 different reactor sites. At least 102 reactor units are now documented to have had recurring radioactive leaks into groundwater from 1963 through February 2009.

The report finds that the federal regulator – the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) – has replaced its own oversight responsibilities in favor of industry self-regulation. Instead of mandating compliance with established license requirements for the control and monitoring of buried pipe systems carrying radioactive effluent, the NRC cedes responsibility to industry voluntary initiatives that will add years onto the resolution of a decades-old environmental and public health issue. Of further concern, the agency and the industry continue to downplay and trivialize the health risks of prolonged exposure to tritium which is shown to cause cancer, genetic mutations and birth defects.

The delinquency of the NRC is made more alarming by the fact that the nuclear industry has deliberately misrepresented the truth about its leaking reactors to state governments, most dramatically in Illinois and Vermont. Given the history of untrustworthiness of the nuclear industry, it is even more important to have a vigilant and responsible regulator. The report found this not to be the case with the NRC and its oversight of increasing leaky reactors.

The report examines radioactive leaks in Illinois, New Jersey, Michigan, New York and Vermont
that illuminate concerns over continuing groundwater contamination, the accelerating
deterioration of buried pipes, the lack of integrity of industry’s reporting of leaks and pipes and
the questionable replacement of federal oversight and enforcement with industry “voluntary
initiatives.”


Nuclear safety is, of course, an oxymoron. Nuclear reactors are inherently dangerous, vulnerable to accident with the potential for catastrophic consequences to health and the environment if enough radioactivity escapes. Its effects are cumulative over our lifetime.

Also. I looked at a real time radar (just google it tons of them come up) and there is a rain cloud over that area right now. When you animate it it shows the rain cloud moving east over florida/southern georgia. in that case, if we see high readings moving eastward later today than we may be able to assume that those readings were accurate.

For those of you who did not see my UPDATE on my original post.......


State officials said similar testing was done in California, Pennsylvania, Washington and other states, and showed comparable levels of I-131 in rain


So where are these reports?

Like I said in my opening statement........"Short-term" there will be no affects..........But the day is coming when they will be telling us that "long-term" affects will be minimial..........

When they test the stations, they say the radiation value can go up, when there's no actual threat.

I posted a thread a week ago that radiation from Japan was found in the rainwater in CA but it was ignored lol star and flag, keep us posted!

all of this concern over our radiological exposure rate regarding the Japanese catastrophe needs to be refocused to have concern for ALL of our exposure...


The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) published a study in 2009 that found that nearly half of the radiation to which the US population is exposed comes from medical sources such as CT scans, x-rays, and nuclear medicine.


www.epa.gov...


In response to requests for information related to the radiological aspects of the Fukushima Nuclear Reactor Accident, NCRP has made Commentary No. 10, Advising the Public About Radiation Emergencies available for free download >

all the links are still working fine and the radiation alert page still shows a radiation alert for almost every state in the U.S.

They said on the news that the levels detected in Boston were almost undetectable levels.

Very, very, very trace amounts. Nothing to get all freaked out over.

calm down people.

Raindrops keep falling on my head...
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be glowing red.
Dyin's not for me, no.
Cause I'm never gonna stop the meltdown from hapnin'
It's time to flee...
Take a ki or three.

Ok, I seriously need some sleep.

Perhaps we are being played once again. TPTB will not tell us the truth and we all know who runs the media.Here is a quote from, yeah I know, the bible which may help to shed a little light.



Exodus 9:8-12 (King James Version)
9And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.

Job 30:30 (King James Version)
30My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.

Revelation 16:10-12 (King James Version)

10And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

11And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

12And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

I agree BUT!!!

As I stated many times all over ATS..........The Gov experts told us from the beginning that NO RADIATION would reach North America.........

Then they stated only trace amounts were being detected in California..........

And now we are getting the reports of trace amounts of radiation being detected all across the US in the rain.......

So far everything the experts have said has been "WRONG"...............Knowing their track record.........I am betting that these levels will increase as the Japan facility is still under a meltdown and the radiation levels keep increasing..........

Is there a need to panic? Definately NOT!!

But is there enough concern for one to prepare? YES...........

at somewhat lower doses, radiation tends to damage the genetic material (dna) of cells, rather than killing cells outright. this does not cause any immediate illness, but it may increase the risk of later development of cancer or other diseases. the amount of damage done by low-level exposure is dependent on the length of time living tissue spends in the radiation field, not on the relative radiation field strength.

First of all, radiation "goes away" with time.
So depending on how much it is, we'll see how "short" or long term it will be.

I'm not even paying attention to this whole radiation mess anymore.
I don't know if i'm the only one here, but I don't understand how they could have "made a mistake"
on how much they detected.

My husband works with radiation in the AF and he said that is stupid.
He said it's about reading the results correctly or not.
And he doubts all of the personell in charge of informing us what the radiation levels were, all read it incorrectly.

with all the attention on radioactivity readings in light of the Japanese nuclear plants destruction...
all measurable radioactivity will of course be blamed on the Japan disaster...when of course there are plenty of local sources that might be using the 'problem' to disguise their own inefficiencies and environmental impacts


here in SC, where a news alert just came on TV that the whole state is being contaminated by the rain...and this is Mon 28 Mar @ 10:50am of which i speak...
there are multiple reactors at the Savannah River locations and the Oconee nuclear plant way in the upstate which may be the real culprits... but just like always, the guy that just got fired or the nation with a ongoing catastrophe is always pointed to as the cause for all bad things going wrong now, or for the past months or years even....por ole Japan

Any officials from any government will NEVER tell you the thruth about anything that will cause a panic amongst the public. This should be a rule of thumb by now.
