london and uk radiatio reading update..
well it was really smeggie (tech term) up till last night when the high rises to 0.20 and most of the 0.42 mcSv/h peaks have eased up..
the winds turned around and came from the north then the radiation readings lowered.. hope it stays that way
average in the uk now a more respectable 0.12 mcSv/h
for the last couple of days prior to the drop the average was over 0.14 mcSv/h
it may drop more if we dont get anymore downwind pukings!
fingers crossed and will keep you posted!
my cough cleared up largely today!!?? do i need a gieger counter to find this stuff? ;/

probaly something to do with la hague i suspect from the wind directions.. i cant rule out penly but the winds werent right! i heard another london gieger got a 0.27 mcSv/h rise!!
i only got to 0.23 mcSv/h.. but i am on the outskirts of west london and the values are generally lower…
so is it edf that is switching off??
will phone italy on monday to get it switched back on if it doesnt reapear!! the security services must be quite angry with however is mucking about with the emergency services and public radiation mapping!!
its a dangerous game they are playing but if a disaster happened they think.. "we will just cover that up too!"

thanks arc. You're right about the psyucho-materialists…to stop them playing with my money, I joined a union bank recently which supports only ecological and social projects.

@ anne
did you get the information about the type of isotope test that is being done on this monitor station?
Report Comment
arclight. I don't know what he is reading. Here is part of his explanation. There is more at the link below:
“… CPM varies by detector and as such is not a reliable measurement. The "times over natural radiation" figure is not (in a practical sense) that important because of the small scale we're dealing with (e.g. 4 x 0.23 is still a small number especially since we're measuring in Microsieverts (vs Milisieverts or even Sieverts). The key number on this page is the Microsievert (μSv) number. 100 μSv is equivalent to a chest x-ray. Natural background radiation is 0.23 μSv/h. This monitor reads on average about 0.69 μSv/h. So about once a week you get a chest x-ray's worth of radiation….”

Does everyone know about "safecast"? I haven't seen it mentioned here for months and I had forgotten all about it.
Tim at the radiation network reminded me of it. As you may know, the radiation network has few volunteer stations in Japan (so far) so Tim recommends that people also go to safecast for more detailed information about the Japanese situation.

About the detection of iodine-131 in ambient air in Europe, CRIIRAD stated in a press release of November 16 : "Most worrying is the fact that several weeks after the start of the contamination, no authority, nor international or national of any country whatsoever, was able to identify the source of contamination. It is urgent because people close to the source could have been and still be exposed to large doses.
"..A release of radioactive iodine 300 + 324 GBq or 624 GBq as that reported by Izotop Intézet for 2011 is indeed 28 300 times higher than the release of radioactive iodine made in 2009 by the nuclear power plant Tricastin (France ) and 130 times higher than those made by the reprocessing plant at La Hague (see table below).
A release of 624 GBq of iodine-131 is likely to lead to unacceptable doses to the local population. To calculate doses, should know the distribution of emissions over time, the height of the discharge point, the weather, whether there are cultivated areas and fields in the vicinity .. We do not have these elements. …"

an incident report from the sellafield news that has no date
mostly getting 0.21 mcSv/h average around london this morning… wind from sellafield… went into a couple of hospitals and the average dropped to 0.12 mcSv/h but with slot of spikes, the highest of which in the hospital was 0.54 mcSv/h
outside high spike was 0.64 mcSv/h
in west london the highest spike was 0.50 mcSv/h with and average of about 0.13 mcSv/h with short rises (10 or 15 minutes long) to 0.18 mcSv/h.. big difference in air quality as i moved to inner and outer london!
"In order to carry out the tie in to a redundant plant, the existing ventilation system was shut down and isolated to enable new sections of ducting to be installed. During the outage, activity in air monitors sounded in the facility and the contingency plan was implemented. During operation of the contingency plan a small section of flexible ducting failed, leading to the discharge of filtered air. The system was isolated and work was successfully completed within 24 hours to restore the plant back to normal operations. No radiological contamination was detected as a result of the event

"..During a proactive inspection of a legacy compound on the Sellafield site some activity was detected in redundant equipment. This is to be expected when pro-active inspections of historic facilities take place.
The equipment in question comprised three half inch pipes with open ends through which radioactive material has leaked sometime in the past. The pipes have been redundant for many years and the activity detected is historic in nature, with no evidence of any ongoing leak.
The pipes have been temporarily secured as a short term measure pending permanent capping/removal.
The spillage assessment initially indicates the activity from the pipes is approximately 40% of what is classified as ‘significant’ in schedule 8 of the Ionising Radiation Regulations 1999.
Soil samples have been taken and analysis is underway to determine how much activity has migrated into the soil.
There is no risk to the workforce, general public or external environment from the discovery…"

weve had very high pulses of low level winds, it has been raining over the last 2 days on and off.. the readings dont change when it rains.. in fact i got a slight drop in readings this morning during a rain shower.. this leads me to believe that the low level winds are bringing heavy contamination and the fukushima signature is swamped by the surrounding nuclear reactors! i will keep an eye on north norway to see any usa, canada or japanese fallout as the wind is coming direct from the polar regions via sellafield to london.. though the over averaging of software in norway will generally hide any peaks or rises that would highlight such contamination.. april is traditionally the time of year as the ice melts, that the radiation levels rise (it was early last year…) in norway, probaly from the european reactors largely i am beginning to suspect.. the usa can send readable amounts of radiation too! i suspect that most of the waste burning is being deposited mostly at the first large mountain ranges that the fallout reaches.. criirad said we get 10 percent of what the usa gets in thier april 2011 statement about pregnant women and children
i hope to get some feedback from other uk giegers on this to support my theory of local reactors or disprove.. will get back on that!
70 000 000 people and hardly any gieger counters.. even the anti nukers havent bothered largely!! how stupid is that! the biggest weapon in an anti nukes arsenal, positively gandhian too!!

If this continues we are going to have more than cancer and respiratory illness spikes, especially as the contamination bio-accumulates in our food and water.

1 in 3 people are likely to develop a cancer

A New Chernobyl in the Balkans
By Natasha Dokovska
SKOPJE, Macedonia, April 13, 1999 (ENS) – Macedonian environmentalists are reacting with horror against the bombing in Yugoslavia, particularly after reports from Greek researcher, Professor Zeferos who said that bombing in Yugoslavia is a great environmental catastrophe for the entire Balkan region. The Macedonian environmental movement is asking the Macedonian government to react against the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia and help the whole world.
Professor Zeferos, an environmental chemist from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, says that the first three days of bombing above Yugoslavia released a large amount of hazardous, toxic, carcinogenic and radioactive substances.
The biggest fear of possible bombing of power plants by NATO forces, because the public's risk of inhaling highly contaminated air would then be very high……"

Report Comment
Thank you, ai. I have a thought and I have a question. Now, you've been tied into frequent active monitoring much more than I have — I've been dealing much more with the statistical and the normative values side of things. But something I seem to be seeing when I have been able to monitor is a bigger distance between daily lows and highs. I could easily be wrong, as I haven't had that many days in which to monitor frequently, but on the days I have, I keep feeling as though the difference between high and low is greater. There have always been some stations that seemed that way, but it seems more widespread to me, and I'm wondering if you've noticed that, too, or if it's only in my own head. If so, maybe that's something we should be paying attention to — maybe it's not alert-level events (although I sadly suspect we'll see some of those at times) but high-fluctuation days that will indicate an uptick in Fukushima fumes.
Also (and I can't believe I've never thought to ask this), are the daily averages at Radiation Network computed as an average of all the readings in the day, or just the average of the lowest reading and the highest reading?
Report Comment
hi doc and wellcome
the highs and lows you refer to are the range..
these are not always shown on alot of public mapping but are on some..
the key thing is the software that is used on the monitoring device and perhaps the settings..
my sorks has a twenty second update whereas public monitoring might be 1 hour between readings to 15 minutes.. that sort of thing..
also, the soeks will give the quick high peaks and these will be removed by monitoring staff claiming electrical or atmospheric issues (sometimes this could be true but at other times not
as to the rad network i am unaware of the data point spacing's but believe they are updated fairly quickly.. though another poster from the usa might have a better angle on it..
as to measurement of fukushima fallout… you may have some difficulty because of the hidden existing pollution from usa reactors/waste/medical/military to overcome.. the nuke companies like covering up one thing with another too!
hope this helps
Report Comment
Thanks, arclight! I'm hoping to drag aigeezer over for an answer, as he mentioned being in Radiation Network. Radiation Network updates every minute, which makes its data especially interesting to me.
I always worry about "suspicious" highs being tossed by the wayside. A friend of mine who was a health physicist had that happen to his "inconvenient" readings at times, at a power plant on the US east coast.
There's a tragic amount of hidden plant and facility pollution here. I had a project once of studying the frequency of cancers and autoimmune diseases around power plants and certain industries, and it was nearly always impossible to correlate the number of illnesses with the admitted pollution, but years later when more information got out the correlations were clear as crystal. And you hit it, covering up one thing with another.
There's a little forest preserve in the suburban Chicago area, a peaceful, pretty place… except that unbeknownst to almost everyone who drifts through it's the site of the dismantled and buried remains of the first reactor, Chicago Pile-1. And we all know how well the government and the nuclear industry cleans up their messes….

drw3, I'm too old to be doing quants reliably, but those are interesting questions. The best guy to ask is probably Tim at the radiation network. I won't post his email addy directly but if you click this link you can grab it:
http://radiationnetwork.com/Message.htm
I know Tim is planning some new features and your questions might come at a perfect time.
Please share the answers here if you get 'em.
One of the reports you can get for each station is a minute by minute spreadsheet of raw data, including an average calculated from the time of startup. It bounces around a lot at first, but then tends to settle into a very solid "background level" for a given (fixed location) station. I believe Tim is thinking of offering additional variations of that kind of data because of questions like yours.
Report Comment
ai, thanks so much. I'll get in touch with Tim and pester him. We're just in such new territory these days, and I keep looking for patterns that may or may not be there. Also I'm doing weather map overlays on top of readings and looking for patterns there. Patterns seem to be a knack of mine, and have gotten me in trouble more than once, haha.

Yup. You could have a lot of fun with Matlab or SPSS or a neural network and some of the raw data from the radiation network. I'm almost tempted to un-retire. Almost.
Weather, yes! Some people here speculate about unannounced nuke plant "ventings" too. I wish the network was not so sparse.
Nicholas Taleb scorns those of us who overdo causality/patterns. He's got a point – gotta find a balance.

I think I've un-retired every year for the last ten years.
I always laugh a little about Taleb's disdain for patterns. He's not so embracing of randomness when it comes to things like book tours and lecture schedules, haha.
Unannounced ventings are a hard, cold, especially irritating fact… unless by "announced" the nuclear power companies mean "post-" as well as "pre-."

Hi,

Normally I measure around 22 cpm with my one geiger and around 12 cpm with the other one. (Nobody knows which is correct, so I note both.) Since yesterday afternoon it is more like 24 or 25 and 14 or 15 cpm, and rising. Last hour was 25 and 18. That is not normal. I measure since october, and this is special though not disturbing high. I see it as an indication that something is going on above/around us. Maybe SFP 4 stopping by? Just wanted to let you know, especially arclight.

Hi arclight,
yes, I got that message. But I don`t know if I want to send it back to the manufacturer. What if it is correct and the newer geigers are wrong (maybe intentionally)?
I have three more new gamma scouts here and two more soeks, so one more measuring the same is not that valueable for me. For now I prefer to use it right or wrong as it is and have another "opinion" on what is going on.
Perhaps the old one is correct. Then I am happy to own it. And it measured spikes that correspond to observations I made on my body, like coughing, etc. while the newer geigers always show more or less the same normal values.
I think I`ll keep that old one for what it`s worth.

Report Comment
Thanks Vital1. I have just sent two lots of samples to associates/friends in Japan in very tiny plastic medical test tubes used in medical pathology which also look nice.
Each sample, Urananinite, Euxenite-(Y), Polycrase-(Y), antique Radium watch hand are in separate tubes and then the remainder of the tube is filled with epoxy resin for safe handling and so the materials are imobilised within safely. I can do this because the samples i purchased on Ebay are in vastly in excess of what is required for sensitive gamma spectrometry. 2cm rock samples. You should find the sample size ample.
Particularly the radium embedded in a watch minute hand is surprisingly hot. The Zinc Sulphide that glows breaks down so the hands do not glow anymore, but the Radium is hot as it ever was. I actually merely handled one when i first got them, and my fingers became distinctly radioactive from the microscopic residue left on my fingers so now that the samples are encapsulated you will have no problem unless the tubes are smashed with a hammer or something equally unlikely.Hope you follow your own precautions and keep them away from living areas or outside in some lead shielding.
Make sure you do your own safety checks before just adding water to any of my crude advices

The blurb about the station says:
"This station operates the high count rate, pancake-tubed Inspector Geiger Counter, which is logistically set up indoors for the time being. The station is near sea level, so its average reading seems high at 50 CPM (as of 5/21/12).

Thought i would check the rain in this heavy downpour. I am using a gamma spectrometer and do real time monitoring regularly.
I use it with a 170 kilos of lead. Sheeting of Lead flashing wrapped around 50mm copper pipe sitting on top of a hemisphere of lead giving 3 inches of lead in every direction around the detector except for the hole facing straight up which is fine left open as most of the gamma is coming from the ground and horizon.
The water comes off the roof, and goes through a small tube into a plastic vessel in the test chamber with the detector in it. There is a second tube so the water can come out, and that way i get constantly refreshed water off the roof and can see the counts on a graph and the gamma spectrum .
So far the activity is pretty low. Probably because the rain is so heavy and has already washed out most of the Radon or anything else.
I am out in the far east of Melbourne.
There were some higher readings earlier in the year. Mainly Radon around then.
Report Comment
It is interesting to get readings this way because it allows me to see the general gamma spectrum which is usually that of Radon progeny. It also shows me the number of counts using bars which keep stacking up eventually showing highs and lows with respect to time.
Mostly the readings are a little higher when the rain starts, but if Radon is present, the number of counts depends on constant fresh rain going through the little plastic vessel that the detector head sits on top of.
If it stops raining, the remaining water in the vessel does not get changed and then the activity in the water rapidly diminishes due to the Radon i assume. Since the half life of its progeny is so short.

The detectors are sitting on top of the lead shield as a display, but one is usually upside down in the hole of the Lead copper lined shield.
All of that sits on a hospital patient lifter on castors which is so the Lead shield is easy to move and to be a frame for the netbook which i have since attached to the frame of the lifter.

"In fact, post-traumatic stress left by the disaster may be more of a health worry than cancer."
Maybe their new tagline could be "We are the Mainstream Media: Killing Babies and Tanuki First"
Just a suggestion.

What-About-The-Kids,
Thanks for your posts. I am still working, so I don't know if you have seen that potrblog put out a "Maximum Alert."
http://pissinontheroses.blogspot.com/
This was posted because of Radiation Network's notice of an unusual, higher reading in Colorado.
"Rattler operates the ultra-sensitive, pancake-tubed Inspector model which records normal background radiation at about 50 CPM (his elevation is 4,200 feet). So his average had moved up to about 60 CPM, or 20% higher, and for those who focus on spikes, you can see that one minute average in the mid 80's. Rattler was monitoring indoors at the time, with his Inspector near a window. I don't believe it was raining. After the elevated readings had subsided, he moved the Inspector outdoors for later in the day."

If you look at the Jet stream images on potrblog, it looks like it was going right by you in Washington on the way to Colorado, the timing of his increase would match your increase in symptoms.

Hi NoNukes, Thanks for the heads up. I saw the video. You may be right…looks like something nasty in that JetStream. See Anne's latest reading from Colorado below. 10 times background??? Unbelievable. What is going on?

Toramaru, Japan… The readings via Safecast are consistently over 100 cpm. Yet most all others show 50 to 60 cpm.
Over time, over 100 cpm is NOT good.
I believe this monitor is slightly south of Tokyo.
Note: coastal cpm is usually about 20 cpm or less.

At end of the readings, I put a link to the magnetometer in Alaska.
Here are two links if you haven't seen them before. HAARP is being used both for looking for and freeing by earthquakes oil and rare metals below the earth's surface and for weather modification. They create a vacuum along the eastern edge of the Rockies that they causes moisture to rush in from the GOM.

The grid pattern below is, I think, caused by the B37X sending tungsten rods into the earth:

The sky is like completely covered with a very high cloud cover, but you can't see anything moving, like it is a very high thick fog that isn't moving. It is a funny pink, lavender color. I've seen it many times before. I didn't realize how unnatural this is. And it isn't very dark out either, although it is 2:38 AM

anne, are these readings being sent to the mainstreamnetwork? is there anyway that someone might take these readings seriously (apart from us enenewsers)? i suppose utub and twitter and arsebook are the best outlets though…

also, perhaps someone should share these readings with the physicsforum guys, give them something else to hypothosise about!

Also, if the figures are broadcast too much, the information may be shut down completely.

I have no idea. I do know that every time one of the four monitors on radiation network starts increasing, they take it off line. Then there are just two readings showing up on their map.
I can't post to physicsforum, and don't really have enough physics background to do so.

Unless someone actually has their own HAARP Magnetometer or special device they would like to share here.
