I'd suggest that you read up and learn what this means because the past "spiked"elevations of Fukushima radiation we see coming across the ocean on the jet stream are becoming the norm in Washington State. Increased cancer risks from constant exposure to these levels are real, in our state now, and increase with rain. As a reference, 20 CPM is the limit for normal workers at a nuclear facility, 100 CPM is the official "adjusted" limit for workers at the Fukushima plant. What these charts show you are that we are being exposed to right now well exceed what TEPCO thinks is a safe 'adjusted" exposure level of radiation even for workers at their own disaster of a nuclear facility..

No need to panic, but this is worth keeping an eye on due to the trend. Check out the Spokane readings, scary!

Well can't worry too much about the fallout. The Jetstream and Pacific Ocean currents
will do what they will do, and it's beyond our control. However, the toxic crap
Cominco dumps into the Columbia is another matter and some-thing can be done about it.
Just gotta pull the right strings.

Illyrian,
What you can control is your exposure and take precautionary measures.
CPM's were at 850 where you live within the last 20 days, and are currently idling around 425. I'd suggest you go learn what that means you should do from the professionals on this topic.

I have read about the exposure numbers and ambient background
radiation. You have a tight basement in this area and you get Radon.
Nasty
We also seem to be a cluster site for MS. No pros with explanations.
God's Country is a bit tainted apparently. Life goes on, some good,
some not so good.

Those are gamma and beta radiation graphs from real time monitors/geigers hooked up to the web.

here is another good real time monitor on beta only: http://radiationnetwork.com/index.htm
