Does anyone have readings for Hawaii? Hawaii's Fish and ocean. Is the water safe to swim in? Also if anyone has readings for the bay area in California, I would appreciate it. Thanks so much! I do see occasional posting for California, and I appreciate that very much.

has a couple live monitoring stations in California.
There are also a couple people who post here who do monitoring in Hawaii.
Radiation network can also have live detection levels of one to two privately operated Geiger Counters posting information for Hawaii.

As for water and fish testing, well the government should be doing that. I don't know any one privately doing that in Hawaii.

Hi Vital1
Thank you very much for the links and info. I keep my eye on enviroreporter's site even though it is in Southern CA. I noticed that there are a few posters who live in my neck of the woods that occasionally post. I have relatives going to Hawaii in a couple of weeks so I was curious about the safety of food and fish there. I am guessing that CA produce is still a concern even though there is no reporting on it. Thanks again.

Radioactive cloud detections, the 13th of July 2012. The Geiger counter alarm has triggered a couple times since midnight indicating detections 5x above average background. If you are local it may be wise to stay out of the rain. I will post charts and more updated information as it becomes available.

I have neglected my duty of daily readings due to a busy stressful life. However, in May I finally bought a car, today I put a new air filter on it. Old filter was dirty but still serviceable. Car is ten years old but only has 76,000 km on it which is only 47,500 miles so it is debatable if old filter was installed during 311 or after. Given age and low mileage it is entirely probable. Using Soeks 01M I did a fifteen minute count on the filter and then a further ten minute count of background in apartment and no difference. Both counts got .06 µSv/hr to .11 µSv/hr with interestingly one .25 spike on each count, the only time the yellow bar went red.
Obviously this only says there isn't huge radiation in the air but please note when Arnie and others test air filters they get sent to a special lab on the east coast. Anybody want to explain the process please, an edification for me and others. Certainly a more exstensive test then passing over a $200 Russian detector that doesn't detect Alpha radiation. Would be interested in having more tests done on this filter. Any suggestions?

noticed the rads jump up in the uk a little today..
from 0.11 average to 0.12 mcSv/h average but no peaks on the soeks..
alert showa about 36 cpm with some little quick rises that responds to a rise on the soeks to 0.18 mcSv/h (but mostly to 0.16 mcSv/h), the rises are quick and short..
low end range is from 0.07 mcSv/h but rare
tried a rain sample but nothing on this one that i could asertain though the rain or air is very dirty and washes out on cars etc
still waiting to get the authorisation code for the alert observer software.. its still in demo mode

the police surveilance means the private surveilance has to behave themselves, then they get access to peoples info with support from the police.. and when i say the police i mean the privately funded home office security types based at scotland yard (most likely)..
so my advice is to accept the digital games and not let it get to you..

Imo a ten minutes count could be a too short time to set up a base for further comparisons. I use a software that draws a graphic and watch it while developing on the screen for 90 minutes, at minimum. Then I save the data and import them into Excel for further elaboration. It may happen that you get an average value higher (eg 47 CPM) than the total average (eg 43 CPM) for 10/20 minutes. Then the average value decreases and keeps low for other 10/20 minutes, so that the total averages stabilizes around 43 CPM after 180/600 minutes. During this period of time you may have spikes as high as 71 CPM and notches as low as 27 CPM, each of them lasting some minutes, let's say 5 or less. If you analyzes the row-data by a simple low-pass filter eg like the moving average algorithm you can see that the moving average line "dances" around the total average value, which is a straight horizontal line, by +- 3 CPM max, but never gets farther from it than that. The whole graph looks like an extremely rough, irregularly shaped saw-tooth whose feature is to stay confined into an horizontal stripe. As long as this stripe, or band, keeps horizontal, I consider this as a "normal" situation, in which the spikes are assumed to be due to the cosmic ray shower. What I don't know is if an average of 43/44 CPM is a normal one, but that is all what I have as a reference value. I started four months ago and this value has remained constant since then.
Report Comment
The potentially dangerous situation occurs when the stripe start pointing up and rising more or less quickly, in which case the saw-tooth retains its shape but raises as if it were going up along the side of a hill. That never occurred to me, but it's easy to simulate it. You only need to put a little ceramic or porcelain object (a little cup, a sauce, whichever) right under the head of your probe and you will see the saw-tooth going up in a matter of seconds. At the end of the measure it will show as "sitting" on a pedestal. In other words, the longer the count time the more certain your interpretation will be, especially if the situation shows in its entirety on a graph.

hi linda
the gamma range is set at varying levels betwwen 1 and ten iodine 131 is at 3 or 4 i think
pottasium has a higher mev strength than say iodine 131, i believe, so the charts you see of high cpm come from specific isotopes that are not necessatily damaging to our health, in fact pottasium is spread over the whole body and iodine 131 concentrates in a smaller place..
it would be nice if they could tell us the isotopes but they just count all the cpm from everything.. most confusing..
hope this reasures you somewhat… you get a different type of reading straight of the air with a normal gieger as opposed to air collection and testing, if that makes sense..

All data prior to 2012-07-11 should be thrown out as a large calibration error was discovered and fixed.
he says the spike..
"With regard to large single spikes in the data, ignore them. I've seen those happen when I power cycle the system and it's been postulated that it's high voltage transients when the system is powering on."
i have managed to get a spike twice on the alert when i jolted the gieger.. he was reffering to the 84 mcSv/h spike i think..
there should be a solar flare hitting sometime today i think.. will be keeping an eye on the uk readings.. averaging about 39 cpm at the moment, overcast with slight rain.. that equates to about 0.12 mcSv/h
i did get a rise to above 0.39 mcSv/h for about 2o minutes at 11.30 hrs BST … i am guessing that that was brought in on the wind and not a solar effect… interesting.. will keep em peeled for any unusual spikes etc..

@arclight – well, right now I actually have one of the lowest I've had I my desk, ever I think.
0.13 μSv/hr. Curiously, 36 hours ago I had one of the highest at my desk, 0.19 μSv/hr.
Then, as I've noted above, my dosimeter read a low 0.06 μSv/hr on the harbour.
One thing this tells me is my dosimeter appears to be a good reliable and sensitive device.
The biggest peak I've had was around the time of the super moon a couple of months ago. The alarm actually went off of the dosimeter.
Since then, I've generally been reading constant levels here in Sydney.

tom (antirotons)logged the coronal ejection on his gieger counters and has some compelling evidence..
"On July 14, 2012 at 1424 EDT (1824 UTC, and 2:24PM local time) I believe that I detected a Coronal Mass Ejection, herein CME, an event where the sun bursts a massive amount of charged particles into space. These events are akin to solar flares, though not actually the same thing. The CME was detected by various organizations around the world and easily seen at SpaceWeather.com. At exatly 1824 UTC my detection units both noted a spike in high energy photon readings (gamma or X-ray from 10keV to 5 MeV)."

where are you? is it an ongoing reading or was it a peak? what time was the peak?
i believe there are online picture sites you can subscribe and upload pictures to their server, then you can use the link to post here..
im not familiar with these online programs but a quick google would do the job.. also, the webcam forum might know which are the best to use so look for some pics on that thread and you will find the websites they prefer using… hope this helps..
or you could use you tube etc and upload a video..
hope it was a quick peak and not a steady reading

I ordered iodine supplement just after 3/11 and they sent me this free dosimeter. It has been in my car since then and I had forgotten about it. Came across it the other day and was surprised by how much the color had changed. Not real familiar with the Rad measuring system. Is 200 a lot?

100 to 200 rad delivered in less than a day will cause acute radiation syndrome,

@DogLeg and @arclight Have to chuckle. Have a project going with small vessels offshore in the Pacific -who all have similar dosimeters, or the better RadTriage Badges. Similar result –and scare. Boat with dosimeter went to Bimini Atoll (which is still hot with rads)–and the dosimeter did its job. Turned darker. So the crew took it outside in the hot sun (whoops #1) and then pealed off the UV protector (whoops #2).Got email..its purple!!and Blue! how sick will we be? HF email got here the fastest I have ever seen. Took a bit of checking (and they were not even a little sick-which they should have been), but with the help of the distributor..decided it was the UV protection, plus the radiation at Bimini. Good lesson learned on the technology we have available.

apologies Dogleg – i was om my phone at the time and couldn't enlarge. now i can see three easy visible pics. so well done indeed.
it does say 'avoid sun and heat exposure'. so frankly, if it's been in the car all this time, it's not a reliable indicator of anything other then the fact it's been baking in the car. in my humble opinion.
it's like leaving a roll of film on the dashboard (if you remember those, that is). sure, there may be a picture in there, but it's been baked into a chemical omlette.

Funny Richard!(seek medical attention) It was in the glove, so it was not in direct sunlight, but probably experienced wide fluctuations in temp. Says 195 f is limit, dont know if it would have gotten that hot in my car or not. I wonder if I could send it back to manufacture and have it analyzed?

Hi @ Arclight & Mungo
Apologies, haven't had a change to reply this weekend.
I think Arclight is right with an approximate location..
I'm near Nottingham so probably about 100 miles (give or take) from you..
I'll remember the advice you stated above the surveillance and keep my head up!
I was reading an article about new surveillance technologies in USA that are being put into streetlights, phones, appliances etc so eventually it'll be standard practice for 24/7 surveillance anyway..
The services are just giving you a head start Arcie!
The symbol on the aircraft carrier seems a really good idea! lol!
Won't look as menacing then
I think the next few weeks will be interesting for you, especially as your in the center of all the Olympic goings on..
I agree with you that it'll either be very quiet or very loud in the games, we'll shall see!
I'm not surprised at all that your saying people aren't happy with it, especially the poor folk who have those missile launchers on top of their flats.
Up here I've not really heard what people think of the games but to be honest its not really been a big talking point.

hi guys
london radiation reading..
last night i got some small rises to 0.19 mcSv/h
the average otherwise is holding on 0.11 to 0.12 mcSv/h
about 36 cpm
did a rain check in cpm and got about 14 cpm above on a 10 minute check
about 30 percent higher..
got a peak of 80 cpm briefly in that ten minute reading but the radon is likely depleted where ever it came from…
but there is some radon and the rain is dirty (with lead bismuth and a ash of polonium
hopefully mainly lead.. 
hobsons choice.. )

Hi Mungo,
I'm right there with you.. Arclight's work is invaluable
There is a guy in Devon on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uduOCCAQLas&feature=plcp
His latest readings were slightly scary!!
@ Arclight
Lead wouldn't be nice but better I spose..
Better readings than you had a while ago.
If I had a geiger, how do I distinguish between Radon and the real thing?
Thanks
Report Comment
how do I distinguish between Radon and the real thing?
as radlevels video clearly shows the rads are very high initially but will quickly drop off.. this is a clue.. also, the dirt in the rain could be a clue.. and you can get radon specific detectors..
and you can use this to help work out where it might come from.. although rad levels is getting his radon fresh from la hague or some other npp site.. i am not so sure of claims of jet stream for radon but i couldnt rule it out given the little data there is..
Report Comment
A general conclusion can be made by testing a sample's decay rate.
So, if you test it again (at the specified time frame) and it's dropped by half, then, good chance it's radon. I've seen this discussed at EnviroReporter and by potrblog.
Also, if the reading is extremely high, then even if it's radon, it's not good for you.
The problem I see, is what happens when this 'goo' is mixed together which it most likely is.
Report Comment
I couldn't think of how to put it lol!
So probably be a good idea to get a Radon detector to rule that out?
Report Comment
@It's All Lies……..easy as pie, you measure the same sample after 5hours, this is the minimum time for all radon daughters to decay

I went hiking on the Welcome Pass trail on Sunday, July 15. The trail is about 44 miles east of Bellingham, off the Mount Baker Highway, that is on the west side of the Cascade mountains. I checked radiation levels at 2 locations; at about 2,400 feet I got 20-60 CPM, and at the meadows (which were covered with 5 or more feet of snow) I got the same readings. I held the geiger counter very close to the snow, to see if it would give any different readings. The elevation at the meadows is about 5,000 feet. The geiger counter was set at its lowest setting.
