Default Re: Check Radiation Level Near You ...

I don't think it's that bad Chris



Hey Archie .... just checked. Kinda weird. I was reading a few blogs and survival forums and several comments stated that a number of sensors have been taken off line in the last few days. I've wondered if data is being manipulated but it wouldn't really matter anyway and only create panic.

Charleston, WV was at around 42 CPM since I first started checking Saturday .... today it is 3 times higher at 128. We've had rain too.


What I find rather amusing is the run on potassium iodide. Radioactive iodide degrades and dissipates in about a week so those pills would be relatively useless for something that takes over a week to get here. I'm no engineer but I checked a few sources to confirm that. As always, people are profiting of off fear.


Here's a site maintained by a network of private individuals. If you had your own portable counter and the software, you could be a data collection point on the map.
