Radiation level at 94 currently in Denver at 8:54 PM!

reply to post by crazydaisy

Will TPTB inform us re media if we get in the danger zones or are they going to leave it up to us?

do we really have to answer that??

what chaps me is there is so much stuff to be tested for and we are getting almost no figures anywhere...
it's always "not harmful levels"

Right now the EPA is busy raising the legal limits.www.collapsenet.com...

So we can not look to them for reliable information.

Last checked 105.
What does this mean?

OMG!!! 105!!!!!!!!!!!!




This is bad. Very very bad!

reply to post by crazydaisy


Thats a damn good idea, and if that doesn't work call a town meeting discussing it. I have a feeling the only way any of this will be made public is if the people demand it.

It means hide!

Stay indoors!!!

Please explain further. What does this mean? Dangerous levels? Why Denver? Is there a "National Alert" type of thing? Kinda worried...

Dont panic...Edit to add again...please look are you near the Denver International Airport.

That is what may be causing the readings to rise...the incoming air traffic in contact with the
radiation from Japan.

My suggestions, go to the store and stock up on bottled water.
There are other things to do, www.ki4u.com...

Dont panic. Read and inform yourself ...informed is forearmed.

What does it mean when it breaches the 100 mark. I mean what does 100 mean?
Why are the fluctuations so great? It jumps from 74 to 105 to 70 to 104 to 83...and on and on...

Does anyone know?

Just dropped down to 71. Sorry, don't know how to post a screen shot yet.

Are these fluctuations normal for this area? I would be interested to see the history here.

It is 105 CPM.... the alert level is 100 CPM.

This is happening at night with no background solar radiation, so this is really pretty bad.

You should really be talking to authorities etc about this.

Nope these are "high" for the area

But why is the alert level 100?
What does alert level 100 mean?

Just wondering since you told everyone to hide and stay indoors. I thought maybe you would know.

Ok, it is counts per minute. Normal background radiation will be anywhere from 5 to 60 (during the day due to solar radiation). While background radiation levels are random, it would be unusual for those levels to exceed 100 CPM. Thus, the "Alert Level" for the National Radiation Map is 100 CPM, so if you see any Monitoring Stations with CPM value above 100, further indicated by an Alert symbol over those stations, it probably means that some radioactive source above and beyond background radiation is responsible. These recent spikes are off the charts compared to normal readings. These are geiger counter readings. This is bad stuff...

It must be a malfunction in the instruments, you should have an expert from TEPCO check your equipment immediately.

wow! why is it in denver area, and not in any surrounding states or citys? their all at normal levels* why jsut denver? i mean yuode think if thier was a radiation mist going through, other citys in other states as well would be effected as well.

Lol!

I bought it from TPTB corporation, so it GOTTA be good!

My uneducated guess would be something to do with the elevation.

What are the CPM measured in and what is 1 "count" set to? That changes things dramatically and I couldn't seem to find it on that site.

From the info on The Radiation Network it seems that readings >=100CPM are high/above normal, but it doesn't say to freak out and grab your b.o.b., just that something is causing a higher than normal radiation level. I wouldn't go crazy or fear monger yet, at least until it's determined if this is a fluke, what the CPM are set to, and what is causing thing.

I am looking at this website that the OP imdicated: Radiation Network

The numbers that are directly behind the 'big' number cannot be seen - we need those numbers to cooborate the main one. Although the one to the immediate north of Denver is only at 23.

I am no expert, but I am hopeful that this is just a malfunctioning piece of equipment.However, if it is not, then it would appear that this is a localized situation and quite likely is not related to Japan.
