EPA RADNET monitoring site

Here is a link to the EPA radiation monitoring site. Nice to see sometimes how much you have in your neck of the woods if they are reporting true readings.

A shortcut to the truth

I learned a long time ago; Take the name of a Government agency, ANY government agency, and change it to reverse the meaning, and you will be MUCH closer to the truth; Dept. of Social Insecurity, Environmental Destruction Agency, Big Business administration, etc.Its the nature of buerocracies; its also human nature, I'm afraid.Jim

Apparently this is a non-governmental radiation monitoring site:

Radiation Network

Shamelessly stolen from Dr. Stiffler's homepage (stifflerscientific.com).

Peter i thank you for this list of chronological events it helps us make better exposure and pages, this is exactly like 911 where they said go out and breath the Asbestos. Every thing is fine go shopping! Then Micheal Moore took the first respondents to Cuba to get medical treatment! No medical treatment for radiation.

Thanks for that Peter. wish we could transport Japan to Australian we have A LOT OF ROOM HERE

What other choice do they have

from their point of view, I mean. They've set standards, and they KNOW the fallout from Japan, that may last many months/forever exceed those standards.So, what else can they do, but RAISE the standards.Typical beurocratic thinking.Jim
