Breaking story
The goal of radiation surveys is to determine what the radiation levels are and what the expected radiation dose to a person will be. On average a person will receive about 300 mrem of radiation per year from natural sources. 50 rem in a short period of time (like hours) can cause radiation sickness, and >100 rem is the baseline for increasing the probability of fatalities. Cancer due to radiation exposure is less well known (though it is better characterized for high levels of radiation than low levels). For this reason, radiation workers are limited to 5 rem/yr (and only 3 rem/qtr) and the general public is limited to 100 mrem/yr. This means that if they want to technically call the area safe they must ensure that nobody would be expected receive greater than 100 mrem/yr in this area. They also have to comply with radioactive material contamination limits. This typically means that you will have less than about 500 pCi per an area of 100 cm^2 (which registers 100 counts above background on a frisker—a portable radioactive contamination detector).
The Reader David reminded us on the NY dbomb scare about what polonium can do - remember tracking that stuff all over the place after Litvenenko.
More than I needed to know but many thanks.
seems to be a total non story here anyway .
Cool ! ? ? ?
~~~WTH!!/FYI/JMHO : The poll on the side-bar : The “Pull Out The Troops”%%%%% has gone up in the last few days : FYI (7/26) Is the “Surge” working? Yes! Making headway! 58.7% <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< BOUT THE SAME <<<<<<<<<<< Possibly... give it more time. 21.0% <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< My Vote <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< No, bring them home. 11.1% <<<<<>>>?????????<<<
BUMP...;0)
I’ve been around a long time at least a couple of years before I signed up. Guess the about page is taking a bit longer. I never really knew what to put there. All is good and sorry for the confusion.
That’s what I gathered from the video news report as well. Levels were high, they called in Hazmat and now the levels have returned to normal...
It seems this is the greatest little story never told.
Everyone story can be found at Northeast Intellegence Network.com
Reporter told by someone in his ear piece to say their is no radioactivity.
For details go to Northeast Intellegence Network.com. Cover-up being attempted.
Will read it now, as you have found out, I was lost in translations and history.
Thanks for the pings.
I just checked it out and found the isolated audio VERY interesting. The real question is why the games?
This is clearly a “nothing to see here, move along” moment that needs to be puzzled through. The last time I had this feeling in my gut was when the Flight 800 story broke and trained observers “didn’t see” the missile they saw. This story while not of the same magnitude may be playing out with the same government(?) shenanigans.
I’m at the point where I trust nothing anymore. Who ever would have thought that Groucho Marx’s “Who you gonna’ trust, me or your lying eyes” would become the norm modis operandi for government and press alike?
>I’m at the point where I trust nothing anymore.<
Stay that way and you’ll probably stay alive.
Thanks for posting. BTTT.
