@ Arclight
I'm so glad to hear you say that the readings have come down! Probably only for the time being but at least its some rest bite from the emissions in Europe!
Would be nice if the tennis people asked the nuclear companies to turn off their emissions as it wasn't only their balls which were glowing green lol! But I doubt it
So what is Japan censoring speech in October then? I've not really heard anything about it..
THE whistleblower interview was quite mind blowing.. the link on here didn't work but on infowars is very much alive and kicking
http://www.infowars.com/whistleblower-reveals-plan-to-evacuate-london-during-olympics/
I cannot believe that the police are completely left out of the security when they are much better trained and equipped..
The most scary part was about the 200,00 coffins ready for the olympics holding 4 bodies each!
The end part was quite interesting about how an Israeli company took over the London tube CCTV company and the head of it was an explosives expert…hmmmmmm…..
Reminds me of what Jim Stone wrote about Fuku..

I hope those readings come down for you, there are quite scary!

readings are mostly in the 0.11 to 0.12 mcSv/h with the odd peak and a little bit of 0.21 mcSv/h raises from yesterday.. cleanish air for a whole week now? maybe my videos helped curb the nuke pukers edf

i did buy an inspector alert though and when i work out how to use the damn thing i will be posting in cpm on the inspector and mcSv/h on the soeks, allowing other soeks users to estimate thier cpms .. now hows that for a handy idea.. in europe at least we can expect the same proportion of isotopes around europe (ignoring half life changes and density for the moment).. noe im off to check me tiles again

Arclight, you are a hero – posting all the UK radiation readings : ) In Toronto in the last two months there was some iodine in the air and in the rain ( saw it on car and home windows). I planted 50 tomato plants, 12 pepper plants, 5 zucchini, 5 potatoes in containers. Zuchinnis are flowering but they dry and drop off after flowering, same with some of the tomato fruits. The tomato fruits are doing better and are producing some fruits – if I am lucky I may get one Zuchinni soon also. The tomato and peeper plants I bought in containers already bearing fruits did the best so far – it means there are areas that have less radiation than Toronto. Unless Fukushima radiation is reduced by next year – not many fruits and vegetables may grow next year outside in Toronto. We may be headed for famine – I can use a greenhouse however there is not much I can do about the polluted water. Iam gardening every day, and even though I clean my hands and legs immediately after, I get radiation blisters everyday and my son also gets some ( everything is slightly hot, I am not sure if I will be ale to eat the produce in my garden without a terrible stomachache).

hi alexa
i found this gieger reading data for toronto after the disaster.. with a couple of data points missing though.. thought it might be of some interst
http://www.rustymicrophone.com/028.html
if the high radon rain eashout is the problem then lead 210 and polonium 210 are the worst contaminants to avoid . these daughter products of natural and nuclear made radon are particularly harmful when breathed in.. but will settle on plants also.. the initial radon washout is released back into the atmosphere as a gas then becomes particulate as the half life progresses..
this is easily noticable on a well travelled car as dust.. so polytunnels for your crops is a great idea to mitigate this pollution..
in some ways iodine is easy to avoid as it bioaccummulates in leafy uncovered vegatables and dairy.. so gm soya it is then
you are doing the right things to mitigate against crop contamination.. if you have some water butts you can save the water for a few weeks to mitigate the iodines and feed your plants that..
hope all is well with you and yours and hope this info helps too!
peace

Thank you arclight for information and suggestions on how to protect the vegetable garden. The CPM readings seem low for what I felt at the end of March and April in the air here in Toronto. I am more concerned about the non iodine radioactivity which gets in Toronto water supply via retreated water reused in Toronto or Lake Ontario water.

hi alexa i think tritium from the those nasty canadian reactor designs is the problem from discussions on enenews.. as far as i remember, the universities reluctance to test was because of the levels of these pollutants prior to fukushima would have come out.. sounds like canada needs a comprehensive monitoring system put in place.. like many other countries
rain fall might be a more tritium free source of water for your plants though.. once you let the radon evaporate/degrade.. not sure on tritium take up in rainfall ?

Alexa, have you added Zeolite to your soil? Sweet PDZ Stall Freshener is a good one to use.
Also — do you take detox baths? Are you able to add baking soda to your water so you can wash off with it right away? Try it.
There is also supposed to be a good product on the market for removing isotopes from the soil. It's sold by a company on the East Coast of the U.S. and is made for biodynamic farming.
I don't know its name yet but when I get the name I'll post it at the other Forum area (remediation).

CB,
Background levels will increase over time at different rates in different locations because of weather, and terrain differences. The only way to know what is happening in your locality is to start now, and create a ongoing data base recording your local background over time.
I have done this at this site,
http://sccc.org.au/archives/2630
I have explained how you can use your Geiger counter to do this data collection over time, in the free Geiger Counter Use Guide.

increase in cpm from Japan
hi cb
the air quality in japan is better than before daichi blew.. because of the 52 nuke plant shutdowns.. this does NOT include the most contaminated areas and doesnt take into account ground contamination hot spots throughout japan.. just like norway after chernobyl.. it also doesnt include bioaccumulation doses..
alot of the contamination issues can be mitigated against in the lesser contaminated areas. the reading in japan is 0.05 average in alot of areas.. not like the uk, which is higher because of waste burning and nuke plant operations.. imo
not much data on alpha emmitting isotopes though.. taco reckons 1 in 18 cesium 137 to strontium or it might be both cesiums.. im not sure.. and we have to work out the proprtion of plutonium etc too!
but the gamma 1 meter above ground readings on safecast tell a tale!
london average today around 0.12 mcSv/h and about 40 cpm (havent worked out the new gieger yet

Hi Arclight,
That sounds an appropriate name for the database! Must be a tongue twister for a receptionist! I think you’ve pretty much covered most departments there.
Are you talking about a ‘non-suspicious’ van parked outside that have carried out ‘routine maintenance’ on the telephone exchange that hacked you lol or something more sophisticated? Worrying that they can select you and just a few clicks later your hacked!
Come use mine instead
Emails is one thing but financial and personal details? Extremely cheeky! It’s surely your work that cause them headaches.I thought the UK is about democracy and freedom? Haha
Are the police pretty much useless in the matter?
That’s strange your decanter was hotter?? Sure it’s not got uranium in it to make it all colourful? 
Good luck with your new toy and readings!
Also if your using your new Geiger… any chance I could buy your soeks of you? You know
Shipping is cheap as I’m in the UK too..

Hi Arclight,
Watching the whole seasons of Spooks made me realize that it's probably not that hard for them to hack into literally everything we have and there's not alot we can do!
You should take a walk up the exchange and swap a few wires around

The unsophisticated hacks seem really cheeky and kinda obvious! Not that they would care anyway but yeah..
I hope you can find some solutions to the hacks!

He defintely knows how to use his Geiger counter and tests in various methods and not only in and and around his house but also in a city somewhat aways. The numbers are extremlely high. On July 1st he reported numbers of 80CPM within the ambient of the vehichle and 2,600 CPM outside. On June 30th CPM of 3,200 in Port Orchard Washington.

I live in a suburb of Vancouver BC and my numbers are on average today .10usv/h. I am about 10 km/s from the Pacific I would like to do readings there. It rained very badly last bunch of days about a bunch of days after they did the plasma cut of #4 and my reading were on average double about .18usv/h with occasional spikes of .29usv/h But the numbers i mentioned of my friend in Washington are extremely disturbing to me.

Taking the effort to chart a daily average local background radiation levels and monthly average background can provide a lot of useful information. You don't need computer software to do this if your Geiger counter provides a daily average reading. If you have computer software it should provide the day's average.
You can then chart this information in a computer, or simply use A4 charting paper which you can get from most stationers.
Simply mark out the days along the X axis and uSv/hr along Y axis.
Here is a computer generated chart example. This was my local Background for January 2012.
http://sccc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Caloundra-local-average-background-radiation-levels-January-2012.jpg
Once you have a complete month of daily averages add up all the day uSv/hr averages, then divide this by the number of days in the month to get the average uSv/hr for that month. Then start a new chart for Monthly averages.
Computer chart example here,

As you can see in the chart examples I provided, everyone here received 40% more radiation in January 2012. Also since then the monthly chart clearly shows that the total radiation levels have been dropping to near normal.
This 4 year chart below shows a local average of around 0.10 uSv/hr. The spike in this chart was the result of an experiment to see if a mobile phone radiation would be detected by the Geiger counter. I don't suggest trying this as it could damage some Geiger counters.

Even though spike detection is useful it won't provide you with the overall important detailed information you need to know. To find out what is really happening to your local background radiation levels over time you need to do long term data analysis. Charting this collected data is the best way to do this.

Example,(The blue line through these charts is the day average.)

Anne,
What you are getting is what I would expect if fuel pool four had gone down. LongmontRadMon is the only detection system in America showing these very high detections. It seems to be a completely independent system from the other monitoring networks.
Why aren't the Blackcat or Radiation networks showing any high detections like LongmontRadMon?
We don't seem to be getting all the information necessary from the other systems to clarify what is actually happening.
There was a 39x detection in Southern England on the 28th June.

This is a graph of radiation readings from Longmont for the past 3 months. As you can see, there has been a gigantic increase in radiation since July 1. Remember there were extremely high readings in parts of Fukushima prefecture when the walls on unit 4 were demolished, and there have been major steam events visible on the webcam since then.

High readings are continuing. Probably wildfires far away in Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, and Colorado are contributing.

Anne, sorry for my ignorance, where do your radiation readings come from? Do you have your own geiger counter, or is this from an official monitoring station? It sure looks like you should get out of there. Are there any nuke plants nearby that might be the source? I am not doubting you, I just want to understand where this is coming from.

Rocky Flats nearby. D.U. is or was burned there.
Report Comment
You don't have your facts at all. Clear that you have not included a link. Rocky Flats was closed 20 years ago. There was never depleted uranium burned there and the clean up was 20 years ago. Also if you look at a map it is south and west of Longmont, by at least 30 miles. One forest fire put out in two days was at least 30 miles NW of the cleaned up closed plant. The other forest fires were 50 to 120 miles from the former Rocky Flats.
I know you don't want to believe that increased radiation readings are due to Fukushima and other nuclear accidents and meltdowns in Japan, but the incineration of radioactive materials, etc. in Japan right now and the demolition of Fukushima and dumping into the sea of radioactive materials are still bringing radiation to North America.
Have you considered all the radioactive food and goods still allowed to be shipped to the US? How about all the cars still being shipped? How about your neighbor's car air filters, etc.?
Your neighbors are eating radioactive food that is being pumped into the sewers and recycled into the water supply.

"The researchers identified two major events that caused the largest plutonium releases to areas outside the plant
boundaries. These events included a fire that occurred in the plutonium processing building in 1957, and windblown
releases, mainly during 1968 and 1969, from an outdoor waste oil storage area. A second, larger fire occurred in
Building 776 in 1969. Because of multiple effluent filters and the actions of firefighters to maintain building integrity, the release of plutonium to the environment was smaller compared to the two other events.

Annie, Could these high readings result from the fires around the spent fuel that is stored outside? Aren't there two nuclear facilities closed down in Longmont and possible a lot of radioactive stuff that previously had settled on what burned. Could that have released it into the atmosphere, recirculated it.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Report Comment
There are NO nuclear facilities in Longmont, CO. Rocky Flats has been around for decades without causing such readings. It is about 30 miles SW of Longmont. Also Fort Saint Vrain NPP also was closed down about 20 years ago and is about 30 miles NE of Longmont. Again, never readings like these. I think the problems in Japan, maybe even the start up of Monju and Ooi could be a cause, and certainly demolition of wall of reactor #4 at Fukushima Daiichi where we saw clouds of radioactive dust is a cause. Also the wildfires, not those close by which have been put out, are probably a cause. Anyway, as usual, the monitoring station has now been shut down. The video of a geiger counter in London at over 1300 counts per minute is also part of the story. You never see any more readings out of South Bend, Indiana. TPTB don't want anything upsetting the 2012 elections. However, they are killing their own children. I certainly won't vote to kill mine.
The Russians are also now mining for uranium in Wyoming. Their track record for destroying the environment with radiation is apocalyptic.
You can't tell me that politicians, in general, are interested in keeping people alive.

Longmont is way out on the plains and not part of any forest fire. The nearest forest fire was at least 30 miles SW if Longmont and it was very limited and put out in a couple of days. Longmont has never had any wildfires and never any nuclear waste.

Excuse me, I discovered a year ago the govt. is burning D.U., at Herlong, CA. But didn't know about burning D.U. at the other sites until recently.
The Herlong site website (a .mil site) glommed onto my computer the day I tried to get info. about Herlong. I couldn't get my computer to work right until I did a System Restoration afterward ….

london radiation reading
we have had 2 weeks of low radiation readings.. wow!
eurdep is showing low emmissions except for the area around NW italy
after letting the software take an inside measurement for the last 12 hours i find the readings gave an average of
37 cpm
and
0.11 mcSv/h
the range in was 0.06 to 0.17 mcSv/h
tried to get onto you-measure.com to upload the data but its in german and i am getting some error codes.. will try to work it out later..
the observer software doesnt do mcSv/h but only cpm or cps
so i may miss quick peaks on this measurement but the cpm showed peaks to 6 cps in a quick 1 second peak, this happened yesterday evening and i had 7 of them and they finished about 01.00 hrs bst (british standard time)
i have to do the mcSv/h manually
safecast uk is well underway
@wildturnip
i only managed a meager 90 cpm on the toilet but the decanter got 140 to 190 cpm, i think it was beta mainly as the alert reacted when near the glass as opposed to on the glass.. will do the test again with a piece of cardboard next time..
having the gieger connected to the computer will save me alot of time.. i will work out how to get a 24 hour average and need to work out if i can go out and download the data on my return? then what do i use to measure mushrooms with?
if i use the alert it will come up on the graph.. though if i can note the time i can explain the increase and have the experiment recorded.. the alert software is not…
Report Comment
..time stamped. considering the cost of the software.. and the lead only sends pulses to the computer for cpm readings..
there must be a better software out there, that does cpm and mcSv/h AND is timesamped?? and allows conversion from pulses to mcSv/h from an inspector alert?
once i crack that i will be able to get on with some videos..
the uk police and security are TOTALLY paranoid!! we never saw things this bad even at the height of the IRA bombing and palestinian situations.. this level of security might have been in nortern ireland but even then they had to tread lightly.. 21 st century britian and its changed to a paranoid, frightened country with little vocal opposition.. the uk people are LOVING it, it would seem.. grrr!
i can see why busby went to france now!
for every activist that leaves the uk, it increases the amount of security looking at me! if all activists go on holiday in the summer, i will have thousands of operaters and helicopters/drones chasing me.. and because i am a sad lonely old git i will be ripe for a honey trap!!

Glad that we have had 2 weeks of low readings!
I was out in the East of England show yesterday and it rained, so would like to hope the readings were lower
Hows your new Geiger coming along?
I'm considering a Soeks at the moment, and I'm guessing it's served you quite well?
The ones on ebay are the 2012 version… better or worse than the older ones?
I think your right about 21st century Britain.. I wasn't old enough when the IRA was at their peak but I do get the feeling that everything is watched and very few can talk out and get their message heard. Like you say most enjoy it and probably are blissfully unaware.. That'd be nice
Please try not and fall for a honeytrap!! If you do maybe try and be smart and trap them!! Watch some Spooks and get some counter-surveillance tips
We will see drones in London this summer for the Olympics so they have the perfect excuse to be flying above your house!
Just try not to do any gardening or whatever with big tools as this may come across as a different message to the operators lol!
Hopefully you won't have as many operators on you soon with the Olympics around the corner.

hi ittsalllies
bit of bad news .. the rain is a bit radioactive.. did a wipe test and it showed 3 times above.. and decreased.. i am waiting for the rain so i can film the next one.. the rads drop fairly quickly ..
i made a more detailed observation on a mushroom..
i got 74 cpm after 2 and a half hours running and the background was at 60 cpm.. it was from a brown goblet fungi.. big old thing.. i will be doing further tests to negate any active radon daughters from the test.. but the initial finding was interesting and repeatable..
the average in london has notched up to 0.12 mcSv/h and is likely higher in london.. will be checking it out soon and will post later..
the newer soeks might be best as mine has had a bit of a life.. its still accurate but i think a mueeler failure might be on the horizon.. i compared it to another newer soeks and it was giving the same average though the giegers bounced around a bit.. a few weeks ago when the air was rancid!
the cpm on the medcom alert is really useful and i was surprised to find contamination in the mushroom.. wonder what caused that then?
i will be checking out magic mushrooms for the hippies i suppose! could be a nice little earner! lol!
but to get any higher than background reading of a food item shows its high in bequerels..

my sample gave up to 120 count in a second peak but varied between 30 and 120 cpm

the reading is just enough to be more than background?

I finally got out hiking in the mountains, on Sunday, 7/8, here in Whatcom County, Washington, and tested for radiation on the Church Mountain trail, which is off the Mount Baker Hwy. The weather has been very rainy all winter and spring. But on Saturday and Sunday it was dry and about 77 degrees F. On my first check, I got 10 – 45 CPM, this would be at about 3,000 feet elevation. The second check was at the meadows, where there was about 5 feet of snow. I tested several areas there, including putting the geiger counter on the snow, and got readings from about 20 – 85 CPM. The elevation there is about 4,000 feet.

CESIUM .10 Bq/kg — can someone explain this level? One of the Fuku-sciences is to use many many ways of measurements to confuse. So a discussion on this amount is important to me..
Report Comment
Terminology and radiation measurement.
"Some reports talk about millisieverts while others talk about rem or becquerels, when what most people really want to know is much simpler…"
"Can I drink the milk?"
"Is it safe to go home?"
"Should people in California be worried?"
– from article
"The difference between the raw physical units describing radiation emitted by a radioactive material (measured in units like curies and becquerels), versus measurements designed to reflect the different amounts of radiation energy absorbed by a mass of material (measured in rad or gray), and those that measure the relative biological damage in the human body (using rem and sieverts), which depends on the type of radiation.
Note: REM = Radiation Equivalent Man
3 ways to measure:
becquerels – radiation 'emitted'.
rads – radiation 'absorbed'.
sieverts – radiation 'damage'

This article does not fully explain your question, but it's a start to the discussion. Hope this helped.

ANY detection sooner or later will not be good for you.

from my understanding
0.1 bq/l/kg is not a lot.. its the kind of amount released from operating npp`s under normal conditions.. however last year i got a hot batch of cherries that registered on the soeks.. the other packets of canadian red cherries were ok (as far as the soeks was concerned.. was it fukushima or local canadian/usa npp contamination?? unknown…
you need at least 500 bq/kg to get a reading on a gieger and the safe dose is reported to be 50 bq/kg according to the llrc website

The limit for radiation exposure of Chernobyl liquidators was 250 mSv/yr. That comes out to 28.5 uSv/hr.
The value of 35.7 uSv/hr in Fukushima, for one year, is higher than ANY Chernobyl liquidator got. And that is only external exposure. Internal exposure is much much worse.

Hi Arclight,
Oh dear! That wasn't the news I was hoping for!
Was out in the rain for a while but we all had umbrellas. Unfortunately the ground was very wet, and trainers were caked. I washed them last night without any gloves.. Should I be worried?
I guess you could say those are slightly magic mushrooms lol!
I think you could be really useful to those hippies, and I'm sure they would appreciate your work in helping them avoid the contaminated ones
