I wouldn't worry about Fukushima too much...
That said, if we had a government that wasn't wasting trillions of dollars on bullshit, I wouldn't mind some monitoring of stuff like this.
In all seriousness, does anyone have a recommendation for an accurate, reliable, affordable Geiger Counter?
My thoughts?
That this vanity post is a tremendous display of ignorance of:
- radiation
- health physics
- dilution effects
This vanity post is also an example of what fearmogering can do. You are a Freeper. And you are now wondering why the government isn’t taking care of you better. And now you are looking to spend a bunch of money (on a Geiger counter?) which will only tell you that you have background radiation all around you.
An ignorant person with a means to measure radiation will soon learn to fear his granite countertop, his smoke detector and his Coleman lantern. And maybe even his bananas, his basement and that outcrop of rocks behind his house. But his seawater isn’t going to change using an instrument that measures disintegrations per second.
LOL, and you believe that?
It depends on what the meaning of "samples," is.
If you mean by "samples" tha the government is going to dhare thir findings with the public, then no.
If you mean by "samples" the data they are keeping for themselves, then the answer is "of course we are"!

Be sure to check out his links under "More resources".
Don't be a sissy..
Thousands gathering at Huntington Beach waiting for their chance to surf in the radiation...What took it so long?
Surfers painted murals while they waited the radiated waves..
Some are getting carried away while waiting for the glow...
I sent you a Freepmail.
As far as Oregon's concerned, March 22 should be interesting...
The complicit media has done such a good job for their masters that only a small minority have any concern at all...all the while the government keeps revising ALARA limits and the EPA is having some quite interesting things to say about their new PAG.
Fwiw, open this map and click 'all' in the upper right.. It's a sample map, but they seem to keep it updated. MY major problem with it is that it doesn't show offshore levels at Fukushima and that they drew a straight line across the Pacific for measurements rather than following the current eastward. I don't believe it's a realistic portrait of what's there, but interesting, nonetheless (and a whole lot more than NOAA is doing, the responsible agency for testing the ocean, which is nothing, at least publicly).
Also fwiw, I have documentation stating the Cesium 137 concentrations in the Pacific in 2010 from all the nuclear testing & post-England & Russia nuke accidents was:
.00000009 Bq/cubic meter.
On the basis of what appear to be 'low' levels (certainly when compared to EPA's action levels) of contamination, do the math: One sample at 4.5 Bq/cu meter is 5 x 10 to the 7th power...50,000,000 times background pre-Fukushima. Again, FWIW...
The “radiation” that will arrive will give you as much radiation as walking past an office building with a banana in it.
Don't forget the added benefit of not having to turn on the lights when eating fish for dinner. The glow lights up the room quite nicely.
I had hoped to live off the land/sea, but now I am concerned that a major food source may not be as safe/healthy as I would have thought...
As a prepper, would you have anything to add to this discussion? I would appreciate your input.
