EPA STATEMENT: Update on Ongoing Monitoring, EPA, April 4, 2011:
… Today, EPA released its latest RadNet results, which include the first results for drinking water. Drinking water samples from two locations, Boise, Idaho and Richland, Washington, showed trace amounts of Iodine-131 – about 0.2 picocuries per liter [pCi/L] in each case…
Earlier precipitation samples collected by EPA have shown trace amounts of radioactivity, so EPA has expected to find results such as these in some drinking water samples. Similar findings are to be expected in the coming weeks. …

Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry for Iodine, CDC, April 2004:
EPA has set an average annual drinking water limit of 3 pCi/L for Iodine-131 so the public radiation dose will not exceed 4 millirem

The EPA at it again, revising the legal limits for radiation:
”
The internal documents show that under the updated PAG a single glass of water could give a lifetime’s permissible exposure. In addition, it would allow long-term cleanup limits thousands of times more lax than anything EPA has ever before accepted. These new limits would cause a cancer in as much as every fourth person exposed. ”

Here is the article I posted a few weeks back:

Does anyone else notice that these locations are pretty close to local contamination sources? I wonder if the EPA just found a nice scapegoat in the Japan man made nuclear disaster and it now publishing suppressed information on existing conditions.

Absolutely !

Nuclear Power Plants take advantage and release more into the air than usual, it is called piggybacking. If you live within 100 miles of a nuclear power plant protect yourself from the radiation.

Many people are still scared of radiation and the whole topic. Fukushima will force us to get an education on the real risks instead of listening to the likes of Helen Caldicott. The AntiNukes are not enjoying the fact that people are not up in arms in a mass protest of nuclear power. Our designs are more robust that the Japanese. People do not realize that even though GE made the reactors, and the “NSSS” system, the “Balance of Plant”, or the systems that got knocked out by the 1000-year tsunami were in fact, designed and built by the Japanese.

Like the accident in Washington’s Plant Friday or Canada dumping 10 of thousands of liters of active waist water into the lake 2 weeks ago, and all the unreported accidents that we hear of, and what about all them spent fuel rods just laying around the world that have no place to be put for eternity ?

We need the EPA and clean energy. Tell congress! I am petitioning the president and congress. I need many signatures to have an effect.
