    Radiation dosage website abandoned due to opposition from Fukushima PrefThe National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS) developed a radiation dosage website for Fukushima Prefecture residents following the March 2011 nuclear accident but was forced to drop it due to opposition from the prefectural government, which warned the website would stir up fears, the Mainichi Shimbun has learned.
    Experts have expressed concern about the prefecture's reaction, saying failure to conduct effective research into Fukushima residents' radiation exposure would only lead to public frustration and mistrust.

    A proposal to develop a system to estimate radiation dosage through the Internet came up during a closed-door preliminary meeting of the prefecture's study committee on health management for all Fukushima residents at Fukushima Medical University in Fukushima on May 13 last year.

    According to the minutes of the meeting and other information which the Mainichi obtained through a freedom of information request, the NIRS studied a method in April last year to gauge external exposure to radiation for residents and others around the crippled Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant, under instruction from the Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Ministry.

    The NIRS aimed to cover more than 100,000 residents and felt it necessary to use the Internet to effectively get a good grasp of their activities after the nuclear disaster while their memories were fresh. The

    @arclight, seems there can be no harm in one person who left Hawaii under extreme fatigue and nosebleeds with obvious low-level radiation poisoning (I did spend 42 days in the pacific ocean gathering data so I would know which talking heads give credible, non-watered-down information and discerning what the heck was happening from my own perspective) going to the mainland to get "cleaned" and posting data on the places I go and people I meet – I mean, FB is just a tracking system populated by "us". I am not in any way attempting to bash the current way of life – but sell "safe housing" for which I have a patent. People would rather stay in place – and if they want to do that – maybe they want to stay safe? Posting more pics today at ModelA Green Homes. Aloha.

    On July 22 I hiked up to the 4th of July pass, which is off the Thunder Creek Trail. The trail head is located in the Colonial Creek campground, off Hwy 20, Washington state.

    The readings were between 20-80 CPM, averaging about 45 CPM; everyone else seems to be using uSv/hr, so it is equivalent to about .8 uSv/hr at the maximum measured (I believe – correct me if this is not right). Sorry, my geiger counter doesn't average, so I watch it for about 2-3 minutes and make an educated guess about the average.

    Thunder storms from MN thru IN today, with 40cpm on the geiger counter. On Radiation Network, we have two locations above 50cpm today, a rare occurance across the US. It seems to me as if readings for the US on Radiation Network are trending up recently. Seems as if we are getting more Fukugifts these days. Have a great day everybody.

    Hi Richard! Thanks for the welcome.

    I've been on here for a while and finally decided to get one!

    I'm in the UK, near Leicester.

    Well I did some readings inside first then some outside ones.. doesn't seem to bad at the moment..

    I haven't got round to logging the readings or anything yet but there ranging from 0.10 mSv/hr to 0.20 μSv/hr.
    I did get a peak last night at 0.45 μSv/hr but I didn't catch all of it, I just noticed the screen had changed.

    I was thinking about doing a day test inside a spare room to get some idea of background levels before I go outside properly for a longer period of time?

    A guy on youtube in Devon says his normal levels are 0.07 to 0.1μSv/hr

    Any recommendations?

    Thanks

      that all sounds quite to be expected, so it would seem you're on track and operational.

      arclight is very resourceful in your area so i'm guessing he have localised advice.

      my lowest has been 0.06μSv/hr at Sydney harbour, highest has been over 0.20μSv/hr in my bedroom (woke me up with the alert).

      hi italllies
      grat news! uk safecasr is expanding..

      i am currently getting 0.10 mcSv/h average.. its bliss

      looks like the uk didnt want too much "radon" flying over london for the olympics.. a complaint from pfizer i think.. prime minister noda is coming over too.. he probably has a gieger counter so they had to stop pumping it out.. the olympics committee can fine the uk for air pollution..

      so that kinda explains the ridiculous emmissions i found this year..

      its been 4 weeks now and the Alert gieger drops to 0.04 but the low is generally 0.07 mcSv/h

      on the point of soeks and the quick spikes..
      the value may not be totally accurate but if you get alot of spikes that is showing larce rises and drops and means there is activity in the air..

      i concur with your reading of 0.20 and have slight rises to 0.21 mcSv/h.. but not recently.. so that is interesting.. always check the wind maps

      at the moment you have a high or low pressure so you could be getting fallout from sellafield as the wind speed is low too! heres a good resource.. you can use the slide on top to forecast and check historical

        Hi Arc, some day I'd like to talk with you about your methodology for tracking this stuff. Am somewhat familiar with GIS software, and have been hoping to do some mapping. Also interested in the meteorological aspects. I admire the work of this fellow:

        and some others. Would like to map what has been out there over North America, over time. It's hard to know if one is looking at reliable data sets, etc.

        Perhaps we can discuss sometime. Thanks for all your great work. You're a great example for all of us.

          It would be interesting to know how

          Fallout forecast from ichicax4:http://www.youtube.com/user/ichicax4?feature=results_main

          comes up with her forecasts. Am not sure I'd personally want to go in that direction, in terms of public persona (the image projected). She does good scathing, edgy commentary for those who like that orientation.

          This also looks interesting:

          http://www.youtube.com/user/manekinekotattoo
          http://radiationtest.blogspot.com

          Dutchsinse has also done some good projections, but I don't know what computer modeling he uses for his meteorological and radiation forecasting. He can be a bit out there, too, IMHO, but it's not a bad idea to consider all of this from several angles (opinions and points of view, things possibly related like HAARP).

          Personally, I don't want to go there, but others are blazing the trails in interesting directions.

            however a link from radiationtest was just useful

            i luv ichiax, whenever i get a quiet moment

            she mostly used to deal with upper winds but is expanding to the lower ones.. she gets ggod headsup about usa nuke plant problems.. the weather isnt an exact science anyway and she idoes a better job than public weather imo! :) plus shes a fellow blogger.. her forecast will become VERY useful if further disaster strikes daichi and all gieger citizens should bookmark her you tube

            old connecting dots is a trooper, he has a good way with words and expression.. he has his eyes open and that has to be the main thing.. i like watching him too!

            however tracking local/upwind npp is a bit more simpler using only low level wind maps (like surfers/sailors use)

            isotopes are used as tracers in industry because they are easy to find.. makes a citizen giegers job easy.. :)

    Thanks for the advice Richard.

    Seems as if our readings are quite similar.

    The lowest I've seen it is 0.10 uSv/hr which is kinda interesting..

    @ Arclight

    Whats Safecasr? Did you mean Safecast lol?

    Wow 0.10 is a pretty nice reading! Never thought I'd hear you say that!

    I think you might be right about the stop of emissions, and we will probably see a drop for the olympics (unless something happens). Be interesting to see what happens after its all done and dusted..
    They'll have alot of pent up releasing to do!

    I didn't realise they could fine for air pollution! If you could of fined over the past few months you'd be very rich!

    Thanks for the info on spikes, I'll try and keep a better eye on it, as at the moment I'm sort of testing the water and getting used to it.

    It's good we can concur, so the Soeks seems to be working correctly :D

    And thanks for the weather/wind links that's really helpful!

    I think the nearest npp is over 100 miles away. There is a 'low level waste' storage facility nearby, I think underground? but would interesting to see what the levels 'actualy' are?

    There projected yearly limit is 0.02 mSv/ yr.. too optimistic?

    Is the evening the best time to get readings? I think you mentioned ages ago about cheeky nightime releases?
    And can I do a rain test with a Soeks or do you need something different?

    Many thanks

      yes! if you get into a rad cloud with pb210 that might contaminate the gieger whether its on or off.. also doing rain readings is easier too.. have a bag for one and a few bags for the other..

      to get a ten minute reading you need to set a timer and note all the measurements.. then average it out.. if the reading is within a small range you can get a reasonable accurate reading within 5 minutes..

      ignore the first few readings till the gieger gets enough data to give an average..

          this london 2012 olympic games is becoming rancid with radioactivity!!

          i did a check on the rain and initially got 2 and a half times the normal backgroud to 110 CPM

          the rain stopped and the average held at a steady 0.13 mcSv/h then the gieger registers a rise to 0.15 mcSv/h just before it started raining again..

          the gieger dropped to 0.07 mcSv/h after this shower as the radioactive dust was washed out of the atmosphere..

          so it is dust mainly pb210 and polonium 210 and boris johnson is in trouble.. again..

          the organisers have changed the way they are closing of access to london because of the massive disruption.. the planning for that has been bad as well..

          so the nuke companies couldnt help themselves..

      have you thought about starting a website to accept donations.. we could campaign for you to get a gieger counter and radon measuring device..

      i would chip in,

      aim for the inspector alert from medcom.. its a good bit of kit and you dont need the plug in mueller tube on the alert expert.. the same mueeler tube is on the less expensive model… and you can get deals in the usa..

      would love to get your own readings as part of safecast usa! :)

      I have several queries out as to why on 2012-06-07 and 2012-06-08 we're seeing a higher uSv/h rating. Solar wind and flares are the leading theory but they don't diminish at night like normal. No danger in the readings but they are abnormal.

      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.

    Hi Arclight

    I can concur with your London readings with the rain washout..

    It rained here in the afternoon twice but we missed the first shower.

    Did a rain test with a car swipe twice, Soeks was sealed away so there was no contact with the tissue.
    Straight away got a 0.21uSv/hr minimum then a spike to 0.45 :o .. went down to 0.21 minimum until I tried a different sample with a similar reading.

    Past few days readings have rarely went under 0.10..

    Stay safe people !

    Inside afterwards it was a 0.16 minimum for a good while :(

        Olympics-London pollution may hinder athletes – scientists
        By Sophie Kirby | Reuters – Thu, Jul 26, 2012

        "LONDON, July 26 (Reuters) – London's poor air quality could
        cause problems for Olympic athletes trying to break world
        records if a summer heat wave continues, British scientists said
        on Thursday as levels of pollution hit their highest levels
        since 2006…"

        "..But on the eve of the Games, temperatures and levels of
        ozone pollution have soared, breaking a World Health
        Organisation guideline and potentially causing breathing
        difficulties for athletes, King's College University researchers
        said.
        " won't be able to get enough oxygen in the body
        to perform at the highest level. What that means is they
        probably won't be breaking any records under these conditions,"…"

        "..Even non-Olympians may notice the pollution levels.
        "Probably about 20 percent of the healthy population will
        feel some tightening of the chest as they go about daily normal
        activities," said Kelly.
        "If people are involved in any sort of exercise, they're
        probably going to feel even more effects."…"

      yet the link give about 0.36 mcSv/h

      this is odd?? and my gieger cant be that far out! i hope?

      could you contact the operator and enquire about the difference because it sounds like the conversion software is a bit out??

          it should give the same reading more or less within its tolerance..

            Only two identical geiger counters will ever be able to be calibrated close to the same in exposure rates. They adjust the algorythm, in firmware or software, to get the exposure rate calibrated.
            Even two identical mueller tubes will have different sensitivities to the level of energy that they respond to. They do this by adjusting the voltage pump's step up voltage to the mueller tube. More voltage, more sensitivity to the decay energy detected. And vise versa…

            Besides, Freds exposure rate over in Timbuktu has no bearing on Arc's exposure rate in London. Exposure rates are a personal thing, CPM's are universal…

              During a visit to Germany in November 2011, Kenichi Hasegawa, a resident of Iitate, Fukushima prefecture said that in March 2011 the Iitate Mayor had requested him and Professor Imanaka of Kyoto University to keep secret the extremely high radiation levels that they had measured.

              When Professor Kaneko of Keio University went to Iitate with a survey meter in February 2012 he realized that the area surrounding the monitoring posts deliberately had been decontaminated to produce readings far below the actual radiation levels for the area..

    so in london we are in the middle of the worst pollution incident and the athletes are advised about this… the vip seats and bmw cars and special lanes are not being used because big corp dont want to suck up the mess they have made courtesy of edf.. the guardian etc are not covering the reason for this "pollution" again. but arent bothering to blame industries in the north like they did last time..

    after the rain sample i videoed, the air turned dry and dusty.. we just had a small shower and i did a rain check…

    average cpm over a ten minute read was…

    48 cpm average on the wet cloth with no heavy radon peaks.. 36 to 70 cpm range
    which is
    0.14 mcSv/h with 0.10 to 0.21 mcSv/h range

    normal background over ten minutes was 34 cpm or 0.10 mcSv/h average

    and this is Pb210 and Po210, the back end isotope from nuke waste processing..

    and this has been ongoing for a couple of weeks, so this is where it started perhaps? near la hague in devon…

    Hey @ Arclight and Mungo

    I took some readings inside last night too, with a 0.14 mcSv/hr average. Got a peak to 0.29 then it dropped to about 0.21 for a good while then dropped a little less.

    The past few days it has been consistently higher than normal..

    But to be honest I've seen it once or twice under 0.10 since I got it! :(

    Just done a 10 minute average inside at 0.13 mcSv/hr, with a peak to 0.29.

    Outside in the rain I did a quick 5 minute average (due to the dog getting very wet :( ) at 0.12 mcSv/hr and will probably do a swipe later.

    Typical the big corp won't touch the mess they created!!

    So glad I'm further away from the Olympics!

            150 g dark choclate for adult per day" – what? who told you that

            the idea is to block the PB uptake .. Pb acts like zinc and goes to the places that zinc goes too!

            people are usually low on zinc.. it is a daily required metal like vitamin c needs to be taken daily..

            cocoa is one of the few foodstuffs with zinc in.. good for when the Pb is high! tastes nice too!

            a friend who is a chemist informed me about this blocking technique after a conversation about Pb in the atmosphere in march 2012 in london.. i was getting signs of lead poisoning when the gieger got near the 0.30 mcSv/h level.. after doing the choclate thing my headaches have stopped and no more colds/flu!! even during this latest incident..

    1st August, 2012.

    Here is a report of the average monthly local background radiation levels for my local area for the last 7 months. The overall local background radiation level monthly average has dropped gradually from 43% above average in January 2012 to a near normal of 3% above average for June.

    There have been six significant radioactive cloud detections in that period locally. Even though the June monthly average dropped to near normal, two email alert advisories were issued in July to those on the local email alert list. July saw a rise from June's near normal local background to 9% above average.

    http://sccc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Caloundra-monthly-average-background-radiation-levels-for-2012.jpg

    Our local background has not gone back to normal historical levels of 0.10 uSv/hr. This is not good news.

    As I said before long term charting daily, monthly and yearly averages will provide a clearer picture of what is actually happening over time. This type of data is valuable. There is information on how to set up charting in the free Geiger Counter Use Guide.

    You can use these two sites and put 2 and 2 together to see where the heavy fallout is reaching in the US. Looks like Omaha, NE is high and Harrisburg, VA. You would assume most places in between these like Louisville are fairly high too. Not all the points on the map have complete data (many are missing the beta gross count rate). From the jet stream flow across the middle of the U.S. including Denver, CO, this makes sense they are getting higher levels.
