And 3 people joined today to back you up! That is dedication.
I could only hope my alts in Wartune would work so well for me.
Joined again*
Been reading ATS for as long as I can remember, had a very active account 8 years ago in high school but deleted it in college for some reason.
Joined because as I continued to zoom in on the map I saw how close it was to my house.

Hey guys, new account here, but have been a long time lurker. Obviously with only one post I don't expect what I say to be taken as truth, but as a nuclear worker we see this kind of thing frequently (what's causing this) the snapchat screenshot says it all. Look up a thing called temperature inversion, you'll find that it brings radon to the ground that although is primarily an alpha emitter, through it's decay process also emits betas and can correspond to high counts.

So these nationwide radiation detectors can actually pinpoint down to a person's house or smaller in accuracy?
Hmm, wish I didn't pay for my radon test in my home which came up positive and high amount. I could have just checked this map.
Here are facts that NETC has learned from building this software model:
Radiation blows in the wind, so the stations may go from Radcon-1 to Radcon-5 Alert condition in one hour.
The EPA Radnet radiation stations only update their stations every 6 hours, so the radiation may be over before EPA sends out the data.
Can the EPA fix this problem? Yes, will they? No.
Radiation is averaged over an one hour time frame on the EPA Radnet stations, so we can only use the data that EPA Radnet sends out.
Can the EPA fix this problem? Yes, will they? No.
Watching the Japanese radiation station and the North East US stations, a pattern has emerged, during the cold winter months, the radiation levels decrease to the lowest levels. Living in colder climates may have some radiation benefits.
Many people have called the local police or EPA about the Radcon-5 Alerts levels. The only answer they receive is NETC is not an official government company, Thank God, we are not, because government can take any data and make it look good.
The government uses a long period to average the radiation at any given radiation station.
Of course, that would tend to eliminate any short-term spike that warns of unsafe conditions - for whatever period of time.
The idea would be acceptable if radiation moves as slow as the government itself.
Radiation that NETC tracks moves in the wind, crosses oceans in days, or shows up in minutes from our nuclear power plants.
NETC using a shorter time period of the last three months to calculate the radiation NORM ( Natural Occurring Radioactive Material ) range. The range is set so the next day when the current radiation is collected, a Radcon value between 1 . 5 is set. As you can see, we track the radiation based on a three month range window. We do not state if the radiation is dangerous because we do not have the information to make that conclusion.
Thank you for all your support.
