Beta monitoring

I finally figured out how to use the EPA site to generate Beta charts.

First one I looked at, WOW, Spokane WA really got dosed this week, I wonder if anyone told them?

Anything over 100 CPM is a big concern.

Radnet Realtime Gamma Charts

Here is a link to the Gamma charts---see the Beta charts below, when Fuku and local sources go off, you will see the big moves on the BETA

http://www.epa.gov/radnet/radnet-data/index.html

Man, It is hard to find the right link at the Radnet site, never seen a site so bad.

HERE is the BETA Charts! finally found them. Higgins used to link up these charts on his nicely deisgned site before Hurricane Sandy wiped out his house and servers.

Palisades - Propaganda for the Clunker

Palisades is another Clunker on Lake Michigan. Just like Kewaunee on the Wisconsin side, the clunker Palisades is on the Michigan side. Think if a Fukushima type release into the water occurred in this landlocked Lake....the midwest would be killed and that would probably be enough kill off the American empire.

How can we take these risks? Through greed, we have achieved action akin to insanity. The lure, the promises of power "too cheap to meter" has played out in Orwellian fashion with reality setting in above the propaganda, and Kewaunee is being shut down because it can't compete with Nat Gas and Solar.

Now the NRC is partaking in "communication with the public", to assure them how safe Palisades is....after a series of 4 pipes leaked radiation right through the wall of the pipe...not at a joint, not at a pump, not due to seismic event, just a plain old rust through....like a 1960's car with multiple holes in the radiator and engine block, and yet they want this clunker to live on.

PS Communication = Propaganda

Drop by the NRC website and drop a comment. They are pretty good about not censoring comments that are civilly worded, even if critical.

source for us electric data

EIA good data here, you can download very nice spreadsheets and make some charts Clearly, nuclear is dying, coal is dying, and renewables are rocking.

Radiation Spread in the Pacific, a good model

This model does self admit that they are completely ignoring the effects of bio accumulation, which would make things much worse. Looks like Hawaii is already seeing the ocean impact.

The red zone is 1/1000 times less than the original dispersion in Japan. That doesn't sound all that great considering they just caught a fish with 254,000 Bq per kG at the Fukushima harbor. Anything above 100 Bq/kG is extremely bad. Eating 1kG of this fish is like a total of 2 years of total radiation exposure, and ITS INTERNAL!

Romania Nuke and solar

I just put in 65 solar systems, a massive push. Very tired.

Not enough to knock out a nuke plant, but we have different methods of doing that.

When I think Romania, I think of communist girls pushed to gymnastic heights, not quality nuke operations.....ouch.
