Sorry, Charlie
Forgot the link:
Who knew my profound distaste for tuna might one day save my life.
Ludlum Model 3 with a # 44 detector paddle.
So how much were we getting back when I was a kid and the US, Russia, and China were setting off atmospheric nuke blasts?
The radioactive material could also be in the steel of the can.
Oh wow, almost as much radiation as eating 36 bananas in one day. We are dooooooooomed!
Where did you get your meter and how much did it cost? What brand is it?I have wanted to monitor radiation for decades. Thanks for the info.
yes
Well, of course it is. We’re a nation of victims.
Let's send all 535 members of congress to Fukishima to investigate.
Eight crew members of the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan, whose home port is San Diego, sued the Tokyo Electric Power Co. in Federal Court.
They claim the utility company, "a wholly owned public benefit subsidiary of the government of Japan," misrepresented radiation levels to lull the U.S. Navy "into a false sense of security."
Sounds kinda familiar to me.
Impossible.
We were told over and over by all the experts (I was AMAZED at how many experts there are here on FR that specialized in nuclear radiation) that all it would be would amount to a chest x-ray (or two) or maybe a cross-continental flight.
I got my detector in August and background counts were consistently in the 20-40 CPM (counts per minute) range.
Since then, it has elevated - but only slightly, perhaps to 30-70 CPM.
This is still less than one would expect in eastern Washington, where they get the effects from the Hanford reservation.
I’m surprised the New York Times isn’t all over this story. The MSM has a natural hatred of all things nuclear after all... Maybe dems haven’t had time to feed them the story - or it’s in conflict with a liberal’s idea of ‘healthy eating’...
