The ONLY place you should be looking at radiation levels | |

I know the owner of the website and he makes geiger counters. People buy his geiger counters and upload their own personal readings. They have a bunch on the coast. You can also buy his geiger counters from that website. CPM is NOT a valid measurement of radiation, it's not Alpha+Beta+Gamma radiation combined like uR/hr is. uR/hr is what everyone SHOULD be monitoring. Everybody needs to stop going wild because CPM rises. CPM means nothing and the EPA readings are making everyone go crazy. If the blackcatsystem rad map goes up, then start shitting your pants. Typical background radiation levels for most of the USA are in the 5 to 28 uR/hr range. I agree that CPM is not a valid measure, and is not the whole picture but it is a valid indicator and is one of the things to be looking for. There is no indication of energy and penetration in the count. The rise in CPM is a warning. |
