With a network of private sources, I wouldn’t believe any of the reports until some scientists go out there and confirm it. The fact of the matter is that anyone can hook into this network without knowing the least thing about how to properly set it up and monitor it.
From the article:
“The alerts came from the the Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center, which explains its mission is to provide radiation monitoring information from hundreds of sites in Japan and the U.S., including those run by the Environmental Protection Agency.”
These are the authoritative scientists.
