New to this forum, here are a couple of free guides to help you.
If you are thinking of purchasing a Geiger counter, or have just purchased one here, is a free resource to help you.This Basic Guide will provide you with information on how to protect your Geiger Counter from contamination, plus how get the best out of it.The Free Geiger Counter Use Guide has been given another update with lots more useful info. Download it from here.
http://technologypals.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Using-a-Geiger-Counter-to-test-food-for-Radioactive-Contamination.pdf
DIY Food testing lab set up free guide, first draft, is now available for
download. If you find a section you don't understand let me know. This means someone else probably won't. It is a work in progress, but should be enough to get those started who want to set set up a cost effective food testing lab for their home, or community. The next planed update to this guide will be an isotope Kev identification table.

london radiation update
28 june 2012
clear dry weather after a night of showers
for 3 days i have watched the gieger range at 0.09 to 0.16 mcSv/h with the average hitting the top end more in the evening and the bottom end in the morning..
some peaks but they are at 1 per hour, if that today,, the peaks have been reducing over the past days and now seems to be 0.21 mcSv/h for a quick peak, returning quiclkly to the 0.12 average (approx)
concerning the fessenhiem reading of loads of zeroes and the subsequent switch offs, the latest release is not supported by the local monitors like the other 2 releases.. so i guess the first 2 gaps/spike was the engineer making adjustments to the offending monitor and the second 2 look like removals because of "natural" radon/sarc … the amounts on the second are not co-oberated by local monitors either in germany or france.. interesting.. maybe they are switching off before small releases to keep the monthly quota down??
the uk has relatively cleanish air with the winds coming from the south and east.. so north west europe is good for now.. but boy what a month with only 2 and a half days in a row of cleanish air…

@sue
thanks for the info …
its amazing how people are missing the small details i have found.. and you made an amazing informative contact there.. these seemingly little things are of great import.. and i am glad you made the effort, arcy currently kicking himself for not thinking of that! thats the bueaty of enenews, someone will always catch the forgotten item..
your activism is doing good work imo.. and it is also an inspiration, as many of your post are.. they have helped my projects enourmously as had bnb, mungo richard anne etc (to many to name).. a right international conspiracy!
hope you caught my last post on the off topic discussion thread .. about olympic security being dangerously bad and they will blow up vans and probably motorbikes carrying giegers
the video is by a journo who is secretly embedded with the militarised GS4… its a much watch!!
take care and keep up the brilliant work.. where will you post an update? and where?
the msm are rubbish to let a story like this slip with all the worry about SP4.. you can see how the media is being managed by ogilvy and maher/WPP.. just a little info, so it can easily be twisted later…

@ craig..
hope all is well, 3 days with little contamination.. someone at the wimbledon tennis or henly regatta must have complained.. will post promptly if i see a significant change…
have commented on fessenhiem above.. i think this is not a release or it is a covered smaller release last night.. the first looks like maintanence work as no locla monitor has so much as moved either in france or nearby germany.. you can see the earlier trips on the monitors

am enjoying the relaxation.. but working and catching up on the mundane .. still researching some info for more videos, but am wondering how to get around the copyright censorship change in japan in october.. maybe i need to do copyright free info videos as alot of the alternative media includes news snips etc that can be used to entrap unwary japanese or unpopular with the government/WPP.. its got me a bit stumped as little is being said about it in the alt press.. so how do we bloggers react to work within japanese law?? soon to be usa and uk law too!
YOU GOTTA ANONYMOUS!!
but bloggers need to discuss this…

GS4 are also plonkers.. they have no clue in fascillitation and training.. training by the numbers and free spliff.. really! wonder how many of these GS4 guys are going to be on acid during the olympics??
basically the stuff this guy found out was gobsmacking and gs4 should be outed now and the police should be brought in to oversea the druggies and thugs oh and sweet irish girl who work at the olympic security.. i use the word security LIGHTLY!! best bit of investigative journalism this year.. he should get an award for uncovering the lax and faulty security.. wish i had cut and posted the description more now!!
now off to get up to some mischief.. might need a new youtube channel for my next project… stuff like that!

@ wide awake
forgot the best bit
he was videoing personel missile launchers (about 4 or 5) boxes of ammo and other stuff,,
no soldiers were present for the 30 seconds he filmed..
so he showed the dangers of bring fallujah to london.. the soldiers were sloppy in the security of their weapons..
will do a transcript here as any video footage will be bumped now i had a chance to think about it.. the video will turn up anyway.. try daily motion etc regularly..

I listened to the link you sent about security at the Olympics and yes, it was mind boggling. Worries about Olympic security was mentioned on the national news yesterday evening so I guess that as it was 'out there' they felt that they had to say something. I have since heard about another whistleblower who was fired for criticising the lack of security regarding peoples bank details when ordering tickets.
Did you spot Jebus's post about the unplanned outage at Heysham on Monday? I couldn't find anything about it this morning. That's 2 unplanned outages over one weekend. I think I'll start keeping a closer watch on British NPP's.
Thanks for the 'shout out' arclight, but you know, it was your bravery and tirelessness in doing what you do that inspired me to step up.

Ahhh, Heysham NPP unplanned outage might have something to do with this from last Sunday – flooding.

Nevada city, California 30 minute average 30 cpm or 0.008 uSv/hr 6-28-2012
Report Comment
Too many zeros Norbu. Either that or Nevada city has the lowest background in the world. I have a counter with the same Pancake Geiger tube as your inspector. To calculate uSv/h from counts it divides number of counts by 360 – so 30cpm divided by 360 = 0.083uSv/h. This is a "healthy" background average very similar to where I live.

yes one to many zeros. thanks

Hi from Sydney.
I'm getting one 10 seconds spikes every 2 or 3 hours. My background radiation floats around 0.15uSv/h. Spikes are around 0.45uSv/h. These short term spikes are seen in my SOEKS counter.
Question to SOEKS users: are you seeing the same behaviour in your SOEKS counters?
If you have a cheap SOEKS, you can set the alarm to 0.3uSv/h, plug it in an USB port and let it run.
Soil, water and dust seem to be clean. These spikes seem to be atmospheric.
Similar spikes have been seen indoors and outdoors.
Current background at this moment is floating around 0.15uSv/h as usual .
Report Comment
hi kunzen, I'm sitting at 0.15 to 0.17 μSv/h at my desk.
not sure about spikes, haven't had any alarms, my unit doesn't log.
about to go for a walk, so i'll take a look along the way.

i took a walk down to the harbour shoreline, had 0.09 μSv/h, rising back to 0.12 μSv/h as I wandered back away from the shore and slightly uphill.

Hi richard,
I did the same thing yesterday. Went to a walk close to the shore line. I got readings in the same level (below my usual background about 0.15). Again, no evidence of soil/water contamination. No evident vegetable faciation. I'm guessing these spikes are more evident above 30 meters from sea level.
An interesting experiment would be walking in the harbour bridge and watch the numbers.

@kunzen – yes, we can compare readings sometime if you like.

Comparing SOKES and GMC-300: SOEKS seems more stable. SOEKS is not as feature rich as GMC-300. But SOEKS seems to present a more reliable reading.

london radiation update
the rads are ranging between 0.08 to 0.18 mcSv/h with the average moving from 0.11 to 0.13 mcSv/h in the suburbs and a little more in the center..
little patches of quick peaks to 0.37 mcSv/h but they are not consistant or regular..
looks like the tap has been turned of for nearly a week.. interesting note though..
the dust in the atmosphere is quite thick and we get the odd small light shower that brings down the dust covering cars and motorcycles from london to devon cornwall (a blogger on the south western coast reported the same type of rain and heavy dust drop at the same time.. the dust then covers the vehicles even more in the dry bits..
is this from the nearly 4 weeks of nuclear releases?? i think so.. it is a shame no one is able to test this..
is it Pblead ? from the radon process or other depleted isotope emmissions? but the timing is good for it being nuclear pollution..
might be an idea to eat 150 grams of dark choclate a day and plenty of co-operative orange juice from south america.. oh the hardship..
i am keeping my eye on the rads and will notify of any changes..
today was a little higher but it has since dropped to the 0.11 mcSv/h average (approx) and i am seeing the bottom end of the range get to 0.08 mcSv/h

Hi arclight,
are you using a SOEKS counter? I'm seeing a very similar pattern here in Sydney. My background is around 0.15uSv/h with spikes around 0.45uSv/h. Each 2 or 3 hours I get one.
Report Comment
hi kunzen
i have a soeks too..
my readings are a bit less (see my post) but the pattern is similar..
the dust i am discussing is slightly radioactive having gone through its half lives like be7 and radon to Pblead so the radiation levels do not get as low as you can find in some parts of japan.. a good reason for the japanese to keep them switched off..
londons background will be topped up by further releases
your soeks measures beta so could it be from uranium mining processes?
you will get gamma radon as well as beta that will stay in the environment for some time..
wish i had been able to measure japans air during the whole switch offs to work out the time to get cleaner air, but they are getting there, sp4 not withstanding/standing
its been a bit of a surprise for me that! and not unpleasant
some small succor in this dreadful situation.. imho

•The amount of metals deposited in the UK from the atmosphere greatly exceeds the amount of metals reported to be emitted from anthropogenic sources by up to a factor of 10, thus it is unclear where all this metal originates.
•Over the last twenty years, large decreases in rainfall acidity (85%) and sulphate (75%) have occurred and biological recovery of freshwater ecosystems is slowly progressing

"..Furthermore I did not understand the”Isotopic mixing line”, is that just a line to guide

The point of the line is indeed to guide the eye. It shows the basic fractionation that
is present, to some degree, in all samples: The ozone fractionation (O3-1) and then
C2864goes towards the fractionation for the other processes. It also shows that O3-UV-γ-1
appears to be a linear combination of O3-UV-1 and O3-γ-1. We will add the following to

Following the mixing line we note that the values of both. . .”. The line is also explained
in the caption of Fig. 2.
I did not understand why recovered mass in O3-3 sample is 100-fold to O3-1? How
much mass was in O3-gamma-3 and O3-UV-gamma-3?
Yes, it is puzzling why there is more in the last bottle. Due to the bubbling process
where the liquid and air in the bottles are mixed with magnetic stirrers some liquid is
transported from bottles 1 and 2 to bottle 3. It may be that the liquid being transported
is processed along the way, resulting in an accumulation of sulphate in the final bottle. The line starting on p 5047 l. 7 will be changed to: "Note that the yields in the

Authors state that in atmospheric [SO2] the efficiency of gamma-radiation related

According to the findings, published in the journal Circulation, the blood levels of several inflammatory agents increased — more than doubling in some cases — after ozone exposure. This finding “caught us by surprise,” said Robert Devlin, a toxicologist with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and lead author of the study. “We think it’s one of the more important and significant findings.” Heavily polluted cities such as Beijing and Mexico City often have extremely high ozone levels, and ozone in U.S. cities such as Los Angeles and Houston can reach levels equal to those used in the experiment…."

Thank you for your data files. I imported them into Excel to draw comparisons with mines. The values from August 2011 show an average value of 15.83 CPM over a time 24 hours. The graph looks like the one of a normal background radiation, that is the usual cosmic ray shower. Although the spikes from the seventh to eleventh hour are a bit uncommon (average value of 16.38 ) in respect with the behavior I've been observing here in last months. I mean I'd expect to see those spikes more or less equally distributed in time throughout a 24 hour test. Anyway there's nothing there that makes me guess it's something different from cosmic particle bursts. Instead, the situation seems different with the data values of last June 30 which show an average value of 79.34 CPM. If the data had been collected by Inspector, the average value would have seemingly been about 114 CPM (79.34 x 1.44), or 34.2 uR/h (0.297 uSv/h). Still I wonder if that event could be related with solar activity, but for now I can only speculate about that. The average of the values that you reported from June 30, from 20:37 to 20:46, is 13.0 CPM. Considering the above conversion factor of 1.44 as a valid estimate, the average value would have been 18.72 with Inspector. That means that your town might have pretty low background, given that the normal background is 44 CPM (max. 65, min. 27 typically) in my town in Center Italy.

I bought one GMC-300 and one GMC-280 because Inspector + pancake is a too big equipment for me to walk around in my town to check some things I'm curious about. I needed something smaller. I don't want to answer people's questions about this and that, even because whatever you say they become suspicious or find you guilty of something, at best of having caused anxiety to them, whereas imo anxiety would be such a healthy symptom for my fellow citizens to have in these days.
Up to date I haven't been able to do anything for lack of time. I'm limiting to check air in my flat while working at my desktop with the geiger software running in backround. GMC-280 is the same as GMC-300, but it is supplied without geiger tube. In the following article, an advanced hobbyist suggests to connect a pancake probe to GMC-280 through an HV connector, (a common BNC is OK for that), and then to adjust the voltage to the value requested by the probe by rotating a trimpot that the instrument is already equipped with (a VTVM is needed for this, though)
http://spazioinwind.libero.it/andrea_bosi/appunti/2010/gmc300.htm
Other solutions are possible. For example, one could build a tiny probe by enclosing a LND 712 mica end window tube into one 1 inch diameter – 7 centimeter long PVC pipe, so to extend the GMC-280 detection capability to alpha particles. That would be quite a good solution for me to go out with a GQ Electronics equipment. I'll give it a shot this month.

Oh, I was hoping the radiation was going down because of the heat of the fires and extremely hot weather we're having in the Midwest. Thought maybe the higher temperatures would cause it to loft higher. Guess not. Maybe it was a lull caused by the shield put on the #4?

We had near those levels in late Nov and through mid Dec.
I lost a lot of hair. My nails broke off like never before. I lost 3 crowns. I lost weight (which made me happy).
I had students, colleagues, and family members with inexplicable gastro-intestinal problems.
We are better now, but only because the jet stream has been mostly north of us. I re-gained the 6 pounds I lost (darn).
Get ready in Colorado.
I have no idea what this is going to do to us long term…

“A person with 200 R, the latent phase declines. At 400 R only 1 week until sickness reoccurs. At 450 R about ½ of the people will be dead within one month. That is called the Lethal Dose, the LD of 450 R. …
“To explain this chart, THAT "1" Hour After a bomb hits the "R" in the fallout is 1000 "R" PER HOUR. And 450 "R" will kill 1/2 of the people. So if you are in the fallout for 1/2 hour then 1/2 of the people exposed will die from that exposure. That is the tall column to the left of the chart. You can see the "Radiation" power drops rapidly, SO THAT when 7 (seven) hours have passed it has decayed down to 100 "R" Per hour. AND if you are out in the fallout for 1 hour you will have blood changes take place in your body. We see the curve goes down and across the chart until at 48 HOURS (2-days) after the bomb hits the"R" has decayed to 10 "R" PER HOUR.
IF you spent 5 hours out side you will have blood changes happen. 10r/hr X 5 hours = 50"R"
“You need to stay sheltered until the rate drops to 1/2 "R" PER HOUR. Do not fool yourself about the QUICK DROP in radiation, That is measured PER HOUR, , SO "IF" you are out in new fallout a few hours after the explosion, and exposed for a couple of hours you get a deadly dose.

“ NOTICE WHAT WILL KILL "MANY" MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
They are hundreds of miles from the Target that is hit. The fallout does not get to them on the winds that blow UNTIL 7 hours after the hit. IF they are not sheltered as the fallout arrives they are getting 100 "R" PER HOUR. "PER HOUR"
“SO if they just ignore it in a few more hours they have gotten a deadly dose, and it will be days before they realize it and they will be dead within a month….

thank you for the explaination….i find the sums difficult, but i think you are saying that at the levels we are seeing, death is not imminent… as they say, no immediate danger to health. i have no doubts about the future trouble these readings show will happen

You need to convert sieverts to microsieverts.
50 sieverts per hour are how many microsieverts.
And the highest reading in Longmont is less than 10 microsieverts per hour.
Report Comment
1 sievert = 1 000 000 microsieverts
These readings are 500,000 times too small to result in death in 48 hours. Of course, your overall health and radiation exposure from the past will play a part and how long these readings last.
Eating any animal products, GMOs and non organic plant foods, smoking, exposure to cell phone and cell tower radiation, dioxins, pesticides, etc. will also play a role.
Think safe, be safe.

According to radiationnetwork.com anything over 100 cpm is a hazard alert. You can get cancer from x-rays and cat scans. If the alert is caused by a particle of plutonium and you breathe it in, you will most likely develop lung cancer.
Also, radiation can cause heart attacks. Injesting caesium laced animal products can cause muscle failure including the heart muscle. Radiation can cause strokes.
So, yes, the levels in Boulder and Longmont are a grave concern. But people aren't dropping dead left and right.
The wind blows and we don't have temperature inversions, which may help some.

Tsunami debris drop-off sites open on coast; 211 info line opens for reporting debris
A network of 32 drop-off sites on the Oregon coast are now ready to receive beach debris washing ashore from the tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011. The drop-off sites are free and are a combination of state parks and independent recycling and transfer stations located in every county [see list attached at bottom of release]. Visitors and residents can call 211 (or 1-800-SAFENET) to report tsunami debris they see on the beach.
Schedules vary for the drop-off locations, and visitors are encouraged to visit http://www.oregon.gov/OPRD/PARKS/tsunami_debris.shtml for a digital map with complete detailed locations and hours, and a list of common questions and answers about tsunami debris.
The drop-off sites will accept debris in official beach cleanup bags produced by SOLV. Beach clean-up bags are available at state park campgrounds (locations listed below and online at http://oregonstateparks.org).
· Much of the small debris is rigid foam and plastic. Don’t break up the foam. Put it in the bag, and tie it shut.
· Residents and visitors who see a piece of debris too large to fit into a bag should drag it above high tide if possible, then report the date and…

location.
· Beach visitors who find tires, appliances or other large objects should not attempt to bring these items to the drop-off sites on their own; report them instead.
· Debris with living organisms, should be reported (with a photo if possible, location and date) then moved above high tide or removed from the beach, bagged and delivered to a drop-off site. Never move organisms to another body of water (even at home). This will reduce the threat of invasive species.
All tsunami debris reports may be submitted by email to beach.debris@state.or.us (with the location, date and a photo if possible), or by calling 211 in Oregon coastal counties. 211 is operated by a nonprofit organization under contract with the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (1-800-SAFENET is an alternate number for the same service). The 211 number can also be used to report hazardous materials on the beach—fuel drums, propane tanks, gas cans—and hazards to navigation seen offshore (such as abandoned boats and shipping containers). 211 operators will connect callers with the correct agency to complete the report. In an emergency, however, always call 911.
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department expresses deep gratitude to the Oregon Marine Debris Team (SOLV, Oregon Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, Sea Reach, Washed Ashore, Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition), 211info, the Oregon Refuse and Recycling Association, and all the coast waste haulers for their immediate…
