Its hitting us everyday, they just raise the safe levels

 

day of the disaster I bought 200+ cans of tuna from aldis. yup that's the last tuna i'll be having for a looonng time.

=(

 

GOOD point wish i would have thought of that.

 

Its hitting us everyday, they just raise the safe levels

Really?

Do you have data to support this?

I monitor daily on the west coast with a SE International Monitor 4.

Just took a reading and measured 12 CPM, which works out to 0.01 mR/hr (=10 uR/hr) (=0.1 uSv/hr) with my Geiger counter.

 

I picked 6 bottles of KIO3 from V Med Supply

The U.S. used to test weapons above ground IN the United States and then for the big stuff later we tested in the Pacific (we vaporized at least one island), we're still here.... Why not worry about the van allen belts failing?

 

yeah, new mexico has FAR more fallout than when is in the ocean. Just ask John Wayne....

a little radiation won't kill you. you're getting some right now from the screen you're looking at and the sun that shines down on you every day.

 

This is true. I live right near White Sands Missile range in southern NM. I also have several Geiger counters, and a scintillator. I take readings all the time, and they are always normal back ground readings. Here at 4100 ft, we get 40-50 CPM. And about 50 miles from me, is where the first atomic bomb was tested.

 

This dosen't sound good. Do we have any reason to worry that this might hit us?

No.........

 

A person living in a town next to the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant on March 17th would get an extra dose of radiation (3.5 microsieverts) in one day that is comparable to a dental or hand X-ray (about 5 microsieverts). You get about ten times the dose of radiation from an airplane flight from New York to Los Angeles (40 microsieverts).

If you spent a day on the grounds at Chernobyl in 2010, you’d get about 144 millisieverts! Twenty-four years after the Chernobyl Accident you’d receive over 40,000 times the radiation absorbed by someone living in a town surrounding the Fukushima reactors.

Let’s compare apples to apples, though. If you spent an hour next to the Chernobyl reactor core after the explosion and meltdown in 1986, you’d get about 50 Sieverts. A deadly dose is 8 Sieverts, so you’re a goner at that level of radiation. However, if you spent an hour near the Fukushima reactor at a place with the highest recorded radiation levels, you’d receive only 150 microsieverts. One hour next to Chernobyl equals 333,333 hours next to Fukushima…that’s about 38 years.

Being able to detect it isn't the same as getting enough to be hurt by it. Walk around on a mountain top without a shirt and hat on and you will get more than we will ever see from Japan.
