Just in from a contact in Sydney,
"I've ordered another Geiger counter. So, if both counters spike at the same time, I'll be sure I that I have a true reading. It seems every first drops of rain in Sydney, a huge CPM (well above 100 CPM) spike is perceived. Today, I got one above 200 CPM. Because it seems consistent (every first drops of rain), it seems the worst case scenario is true: my equipment is working properly and readings are true. I'll only be sure when I have 2 counters running at the same time."

There is a nuclear reactor IN Sydney, at Lucas Heights. In fact there's two reactors and a "small" nuclear waste dump. Expect anything!

@eatliesndie – more details would be apprecaited. I'm only been told of one. And I've been inside Lucas Heights.
They are threatening to use LH for 'shortterm' storage (15 years) but the local mayor and others in the area are not willing to allow such a thing.

Hi Richard, I got it wrong. There's three reactors at Lucas Heights and all the created waste dating from the late 50's(hundreds of tonnes) including SFP's. The two older reactors have been "mothballed" (thats a nuclear industry technical term meaning It costs way too much to decommision and there's no where safe to put all the bits). If you do a little GiGa Blast on the subject you can find a lot about it.
Lots of mis and outdated info too. Lucas Heights bleeds into the Georges river eventually….Wiki is a good place to start: Though it doesn't mention the first and oldest reactor….

Most likely its from the uranium mining in south australia, which stupid people think is safe. Nothing like crushing all that ore to release all that nasty stuff like radon and fine uranium dust. Of course we cannot rule out fuku rads anymore either, since that crap has had plenty of time to mix in the upper atmosphere. Add it to the toxic mess the f&^*ing british pigs nuke spewed all over us back in the 50's and its a wonder anything is alive here in oz.

Hi mungo, thanks for the heads-up! But note that the values on Eurdep are given in nSv/h, not in cpm.,

Thanks to arclight and everyone here, we finally got a Radiation Alert Inspector. Now we got a geiger in the (SF) Bay. Today a 10 minute count showed 37.8 CPM. Vital1, I am very grateful to you for your guide!
We got it right before we were fools and flew to Portland for a graduation. At 37,000 ft, we did a 10 minute average and it was 1, 060 CPM on the way there (6/6), and 1, 072 CPM on the way back (6/10). Our readings were very similar to those described on Enviroreporter back in January, Collins states that it is supposed to be about 200 CPM. Following Collins, we wore the N95 masks just in case they might help (my husband said, "we have now crossed the over the line into crazy"), but no one blinked an eye, it made me wonder how common it is now.
I have been so sick since, had the "stomach flu," thyroid swelling, swollen glands, fatigue, now 9 days later, finally feel better.
http://www.enviroreporter.com/2012/01/seasons-readings/
Our lowest readings in Berkeley and San Francisco have been 32 CPM with sun and the highest 41.8 CPM with very light rain (6/4). Generally, about 37 CPM.

Yeehaw, thanks for your post! Don't have money yet for a geiger counter north of SF Bay. I'm working on it. Sonoma County may be getting more or less than SF Bay proper. We'll see-
There are spots on leaves, brown pyracanthus after watering, and an old rose bush with half of plant with normal stems/one flower and the other half with two thick stems and multiple flowers on short stems on top of the two stems. There's more interesting variation in fruits and veggies in the supermarkets. We are early on the bio-accumulation, excepting fish, waiting on the progress of the jet stream carrying increased Fuku radiation from Guchol (shown on Fukushima Diary). When you mention radiation around here, it's pretty much a 'huh' answer. If alpha, beta, or gamma rads were high, someone would inform us- right? In the eyes of EPA and nuclear boys&girls, any amount of radiation decay seems to be considered 'natural.' Ah well, this too shall pass, and pass, and pass. In the words of Kevin Blanch, we are all post ignorance and I'd say, post innocence too.

Report Comment
The free Geiger counter Use Guide has a chart on the first page that will provide you with a quick conversion guide. Multiply uSv/hr by 120 to get a rough estimate in CPM, or divide CPM by 120 to get uSv/hr. Remember the decimal place of the uSv/Hr in your calculations, example 0.50 uS/hr x 120 = 60 CPM
http://technologypals.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Using-a-Geiger-Counter-to-test-food-for-Radioactive-Contamination.pdf
Strictly speaking CPM and uSv/Hr are different types of measurements. uSv/hr is representative of the biological effects of the radiation on the body, and CPM is simply the number of detections made by the Geiger counter.
Report Comment
It is quite impossible to accurately calculate uSv/h (u=micro) simply from CPM without first knowing the conversion rate for the type of geiger tube or counter the counts were taken on.
eg: gammaScout has an LND712 tube with a conversion rate of 123.14. So if you register 25cpm on your gammaScout, divide counts 25 by conversion rate 123.14 and your answer in uSv/h is 0.203
The geiger counter I use to log background on my laptop has two Russian tubes with a total conversion rate 575, so if they count 83cpm – 83 divided by 575 = 0.144uSv/h
Report Comment
and vice versa, same applies when you try to convert uSv/h to cpm. This is the reason for the standard unit of uSv/h being applied to nearly all geiger counter devices as opposed to CPM
Report Comment
thanks eatliesndie – helpful advice.
where do you get the conversion rate for the type of geiger tube?
i'll have to see what's in my Ekotect.
Report Comment
I think your ekotect has a Russian SBM20 Geiger Muller tube – Different manufacturers have different ideas about conversion rate but my Russian counter uses 175 as its conversion rate.

@eatliesndie
nice easy explanation on cpm conversion.. many thanks..
Report Comment
eatliesndie,
Yes, I agree because different Geiger Counters have different sensitivities. A Geiger counter with more sensitivity will have a much higher CPM detection rate in the same Environment. Scintillator CPM are vastly higher in the same environment.
When comparing industry Geiger Counters that are based around Caesium 137 certification they will at least provide uSv/Hr readings that are relatively close in the same environment.
It is all very confusing to the average person.
Manufactures use different Geiger tubes, these tubes can very in sensitivity from each other. Even a different batch, or model made by the same manufacturer can very slightly. They can vary in their detection abilities across the the radioactive frequency spectrum!
For the average person I would suggest that the newer model made by a well known manufacturer would be more accurate because they have just been tested, and certified.
I am not sure about newly manufactured Japanese models at present. Comments made by posters at enenews recently suggest that they are being alerted in some way at manufacture. Just a rumor who knows? They said that Japanese shops where instructed to only supply Japanese manufactured Geiger models.
It is definitely not a perfect world when it comes to Geiger counters. At best they will tell you if your local background radiation levels are going up or down.

hi sue
did a bit of checking on the wind maps and it looks like the wind was coming from france..
criirad has noted a radon progeny (natural) peak in france on the 19th but i am unable to see the info on the charts.. ie alpha, beta and gamma lines, though i can access the pdf.. (now thats really clever)
i am thinking that nuclear power stations or decommissioning plants could also be a cause for this radon, especially decommissioning/furnace stuff.. imo
we had a rain washout of radon in london, as well as the other isotopic particles and gases the nuke pukers have to offer us all..
my best guess is La hague.. though the monitor remains at the same range there was some small movements that might suggest some activity above the norm.. and remember criirad scrubb the radon data, so the la hague monitor would be radon resistant as well as generally resistant to anything actually!
so the wind for the days of peaking generally are coming from france where there ihas been some slow moving winds that have cut across cornwall and tripped the monitor there.. could be more than radon but radon probably caused the trip or spikes imo
i have been getting heavy beta in london and short sharp quick spikes. it is possible that this is caused by the gamma from radon, these are very small quick hits, the beta stuff gets up to 0.26 mcSv/h in gentle slow pulses..
interesting..
gotta kip now
hope that helps

Thanks to those who gave me info.
Arclight – I was hoping that the St. Mawgan alert was just a blip, however, if you travel directly North from there, you will arrive at Milford Haven. Do you remember that big purple spot on Milford Haven a couple of weeks ago. Any thoughts?
I know Milford Haven is a large port and petrochemical hub but did you know that large quantities of radioactive waste was dumped off the coast there many moons ago. Makes you think.
Buckey balls anyone…

Thanks, Bobby1. From your blog:
"So there is radiation in the upper air (30,000 feet) far away from the jet stream. It is worse in the jet stream, but there is a substantial amount outside of it, as Potrblog pointed out in his recent rain radiation measurement. We have a radioactive cloud over most or all of the US now."
http://optimalprediction.com/wp/radioactivity-outside-the-jet-stream/
Watching http://radiationnetwork.com/ and there are 50 CPM+ readings all over the country…it was just 55 in WV and VA, and have seen 50+ in AZ, UT, 45 CPM in AL, places far from the jet stream. Today, I have also seen 60+ in CA, MN, PA, WA. I remember the days when it didn't seem to budge from 20-30 CPM across Radiation Network.

I have to add to these readings and state that it just started raining here after two days of nice weather and I am NOT getting any radon washout from the rain. These readings above, IMHO, are NOT radon.

Same here in SW Wa, Wish I had that Inspector Alert like you.
My SOEKS is nice but doesn't detect Alpha.
Thank you for reporting Jebus!
Report Comment
I do not have an Inspecter Alert.
You do not have to spend hundreds on this. I am only detecting for the presence of ionizing radiation.
A simple geiger counter data logger, counting CPM's is all that is necessary, unless you wish to get very accurate exposure rates.
The one I am reporting with hooks to a laptop and cost 80 dollars. The exposure rate is done in the software.
Detecting the decay of radiation is a physical thing and does not require expensive equipment.
Calculating exposure rates over time is math and is only as good as the algorithm that is used.
Report Comment
I might add that exposure rates mean nothing unless the unit is calibrated to the sensitivity of the geiger muller tube that is used.

Keep in mind the GMC 300 is undergoing firmware changes and the final firmware is not ready till July 25.
They are updating my GMC-300 for postage only.
Check the forum, good info there.
The GMC 200 is just a counter and hooks to a laptop for data logging and exposure rate calculations.
The GMC-300 logs internally and hooks to a laptop for download, display and playback.

I checked out the GMC 300. Looks pretty good. No alpha detect though. Understandable.
I did notice a very cool graph toward the bottom of the product page that shows the CPM while flying in a plane. Very interesting.
Here's the chart/graph and a comment explanation. Shows security scan levels too.

Just to comment that the GMC 300 records more CPM for a given uSv than other counters (it has a sensible tube). Therefore, comparing using uSv is better than comparing using CPM.

GMC 200 looks like a great, cheap background monitor. even without alpha detection.

Message re: alert from Rad Network on 6/19/2012 100 cpm detected in Wisconsin.
from message:
"…surpassed 100 CPM for only a minute, more than twice normal background, but that maximum reading was at the apex of a classic ebb and flow pattern often associated with a passing radioactive system. In fact, there were scattered thunderstorms in the area, along with a flash flood watch."
me:
'CLASSIC… passing of a radioactive system.' (?)
You mean this happens often?
from message:
"…the big question is, 'What caused the elevated radiation reading. Was it Radon washout or something more sinister?'"
me: Guess what? They are going to get back to us 'later' with those results. In the meantime lets try to create some 'plausible credibility'. (doubt)
me: They also 'joke' about a possible apocalypse. I find that unprofessional and in bad taste.

My understanding is that 'radon' presence can be determined. Using a simple rad detector and then testing a sample 30 minutes or so later. This not as specific, but it would tell us something right away. One would think they would know that.
They show a photo of this guys Geiger setup. I also find it hard to believe that someone with that kind of equipment doesn't have a spare 'analyzer' or two in his basement.

Everything has been quiet here. There has been no significant detections locally, so there has been no need to send out any alerts for the local area. Although locally it has been quiet over this period, contacts have reported significant detections in Sydney, Melbourne, and Dunedin in New Zealand. See monitoring site for more details about these events.

Just in from contact in Sydney, 23 June detection.
"6:44PM, my counter recorded the highest reading so far. At this precise time, my Geiger was recording 1.5uSv/h and above 400CMP This is the first time ever I see it above 400 CPM"
Other detections where on the 16th June, of 200 CMP in Sydney, and 70 CMP in Dunedin New Zealand, on the 23 June. Also, some bread and plastic buckets where detected with significant contamination, with a contact's Geiger counter in New Zealand.

Thanks vital1 for the update.
I'm curious about your sydney report as I've not detected anything of note around the inner west for about a week.
As you've said about your area, there's been "no need to send out any alerts"
If I'd seen 1.5 I would be very concerned, and my dosimeter alarm would have gone off. But no such levels in this part of Sydney for me.
Report Comment
I was wondering about you, Richard. Maybe this event is local then (Lucas Heights or ?) and vital1's contact may be down wind? Other factor may be difference in specific monitoring location. One monitor may be indoors in a well sealed dwelling and another open and breezy (like mine). Either way, reading 1.5 in the same city is a worry. Does your counter log?
Report Comment
@eatliesndie – yes, many factors may affect a reading, wind and location, weather even. (currently a bright and sunny winters day).
my device doesn't log. but it's close to me every where (yeah, ok, so i'm a bit crazy
)
admittedly, there are certainly times when I am not around, so I could have missed it.
but that raises another question for me.. if radiation is so 'light' that it travels quickly in the wind, then how can it be a 'permanent' problem ? i would have thought there would be latency in the 'exit' time of an event. the decay time. anyway.. just thinking about it.. to me it's a paradox that hasn't really been answered.
Report Comment
Nothing crazy about carrying your GC around with you. I have managed to help my kids avoid exposure on a number of occasions thanks to doing the sane thing – carrying my counter.
re: Radiation light? I think there are different size "pieces" at different densities in the air, starting at several atoms, to as big as will carry. A contaminated cloud will always leave something behind, it's just how much that seems to vary. Depends on shape, size, weight, charge, temp, etc… of the pieces
Report Comment
I had an event on the 14th June, a at Glenview, 10 Km + away from my normal location that visually registered a peak of 0.65 uS/hr. Brief and intense, whole event lasted maybe about 45 minutes. It was like a small dust cloud passing.
If I had been at my normal detection site I would not have known about this event. This raises a number of questions.

Report Comment
It says the cloud hasn't come thousands of kms to me. entry to and exit from a contaminated cloud doesnt have to be from from to rear either. You can get sideswiped! and come out anywhere. Watching animated satellite imagery can tell you a lot about fliud dynamics. the edges of pockets of air can be sheer or streatched out or just messed up. With enough data to look at you get a picture

I recall your event, and it's part of what got me wondering about drifting versus residual.
Report Comment
It means every community needs to have a network of Geiger counters in place and reporting in real time. Just like the weather a reporting service.

london radiation carch up 24 june 2012
yesterday saw some strong clouds wafting over london, the rain cleansed the air last night and the rads were getting nearer the 0.15 average, earlier the averager got to 0.19 mcSv/h
after the rain overnight the rads are now 0.11 to 0.20 mcSv/h with an average nearer 0.12 mcSv/h
sorry bout the delay in reporting from uk.. having a slight digital holiday… need to rethink my approach now.. the video evidence of an largely innacurate eurdep and possible waste burning increases are getting me nowhere as most online citizen giegers are concentrating on fuku falllout from on high.. i maintain that in europe it is more than swamped by the new emmissions increase by edf etc.. i think i proved contamination from chinon getting 3500 miles into the heart of russia and to canada and northern usa.. i could get no usa citizen monitors to trace the low level winds to concour my findings.. i did ask around..
lastly, the uk gieger scene seems fixated on fuku fallout.. so nothing practical can be organised in the uk to monitor radiological airborne, low level wind contamination…
NO uk antinuclear org will touch this issue with a bargepole..
so time i stopped wasting my time.. the evidence is documented and its time for me to do something that works.. hope i might have inspired others to use the techniques and i may re-edit the series into a documentary at some time.. if someone doesnt do it first..
will be still posting on enenews

arclight,
Without the information you have provided, I and many others here would not have realized how many serious radioactive releases there have been in Europe, plus how big the coverup has been, and still is. This is important information that everyone should know about.
I understand your sense that Fukushima has taken precedence in most peoples minds. I personally feel your information is important to this community
I think everyone in this forum appreciates what has been a single-handed effort on your part, and understand the large number of man hours you have put into this.
Whatever you decide is your best course of action at this point, I personally would like to thank you.

i'm with vital1. i read your info as a regular update to what's going on in europe. i've never commented as it's out of my scope.
it would seem there are more people in Oz monitoring readings then there are in the UK. curious.
i've watched your vids too. but i know how much work it takes.. so I can understand your need to take a break
keep well. and thanks.

thanks for your support..
i am considering a new format and will be posting on this thread.. anything major will get a video.
enjoyng the digi rest.. its given me time to work out other anti nuke related annoyances for the nukecorp and thier media pr and banking buddies…
gotta crash now
i will be back!
oh and we are still getting strong clouds of contamination from la hague, settling in london for the tennis.. err actually, might do a video covering that.. lol!??!!
wimbledon rad watch.. kinda catchy
and its definately particulate and likely larger micron sized particles as i get a BIG 0.05 mcSv/h drop when i entered an industrial hepa filtered environment.. highest peak at 0.42 in a cluster on peaks above 0.20 mcSv/h
range0.10 to 0.23 mcSv/h
london was particularly smeggie and i will report tommorrow on the nights aftermath from wimbledon..
at the moment i wouldnt recommend any heavy physical activity.. like plying tennis for example.. and after this months euro emmissions i would avoid the cream (recent iodine contamination in norfolk courtesy of edf).. oh and the strawberries might be cobered in Pblead..
just saying…

As you all know, I have always maintained that there is Fukushima fallout in the rain… but that the levels (even if they are unsafe) are too low for a Geiger counter to detect.

The fire broke out at 0630 GMT on a part of the cooling system within the reactor's machine room, outside the nuclear element of the installation.

there must be uk pollution in there too! but the french one was big
uk eurdep is impossible to trace anything unless the odd monitor trips..

the french release was bigger.. look at the missing data points??

My kids already think I'm radiation mad. I don't think that a Geiger Counter clicking away in the corner of the room makes for a happy and relatively normal up-bringing. Therefore, a GC is out of the question for the time being I'm afraid.
Also, just wanted to give you a quick update on the Kizuna Project as I know that you were interested in helping to get the word out.
I've been in touch with Helen Caldicotts office. They were aware of the exchange programme but thought it was for College kids.

Hi Arclight! Hopefully you can carry on your work after your break as it is so desperately needed and I'm certain everyone on here is extremely grateful!
You have undoubtedly raised awareness across a variety of countries and I am personally thankful for all the work you have done in the UK and it might at least help me a little to avoid the fallout!
I've been watching on Eurdep about the Fessenheim fire and the readings from 24 June to the 26 are unreal..was up to 58000 nSv on Sunday, then today it was back from a dip to 65,000 nSv!!!! :O
Looking at the UK the 'normal' *cough* looks about 120 nSv..
