  (Reuters) – An oppressive and potentially deadly summertime mix of sizzling temperatures and high humidity baked a large swath of the country again on Sunday, pushing afternoon heat indexes in dozens of cities to dangerous levels.

  Forecasters warned the heatwave would persist through much of the coming week and cautioned residents in more than three dozen states to take extra precautions.

  The National Weather Service posted excessive heat warnings for much of the country’s midsection, including Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, as well as South and North Dakota, where forecasters predicted heat indexes could hit 115 degrees.

  “This will likely be the most significant heat wave the region has experienced in at least the last five years,” the weather service said.

  Cities especially hard hit by the heat included Rapid City, South Dakota, Springfield, Illinois, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, where AccuWeather.com meteorologists were predicting long-standing high-temperature records would fall this week.

  Kristina Pydynowski, a senior meteorologist at AccuWeather, predicted the heatwave will affect more than 40 states.

      Thought it might be loosely tied to the situation at the Ft Calhoun plant, increasing hardship for workers battling a possible catastrophe there.

      I.e. an addition to the list of disasters that seem to be headed that way.

        Other power plants might be affected by power failures. This post has plenty to do with radiation.

  With my combined alpha / beta / gamma counter I can find spots on something that are clearly about background. By using a piece of paper or aluminum I can determine if this spot is mostly emitting alpha / beta or gamma. Its pretty difficult to say exactly how hot the spot is, my meter is not calibrated and was built in 2002 so is probably off. I also can’t say what is there, aside from what it is mostly emitting. One of the spots (can’t see them) on my swab I could kind-of find through quarter-inch aluminum, one I could easily find through paper and one I could find through paper with some effort. None of them were very hot, just very small places that were noticeably above background.

    Seems this comment got out of thread, was in response to PU-239 “Wow, what process does one use to detect hot particles?”

  According to my unnamed source:

  Polonium has been found in both japan and the united states…

  This release likely is a cover for japan…

  Remember fukushima lol?

  BTW My source is on site in japan. They are restricting the release of their findings on several very dangerous isotopes, in both locations of their findings, and their quantities…

  Tacomagroove, at this point is it surprising to find polonium here and in Japan? Surely every scary radioactive isotope a reactor meltdown can produce us to be expected.
