Above is a live shot of a RadAlert Inspector Nuclear Radiation Monitor in EnviroReporter.com‘s Santa Monica office on the West Los Angeles border. Elevation 140 feet. The unit is approximately one meter off of the ground in a wood-floored structure built over crawlspace with soil foundation. Next to the Inspector is a LaCrosse digital weather station with Atomic Clock featuring Weather Girl.
The Inspector picks up ionizing radiation and, in the setting you are seeing, is measuring in Counts Per Minute or CPM. As noted iun the comments of our earlier post “Radiation Station,” we have been taking ten minute averages to hone in on more accurate readings of the gamma radiation that this detector is picking.
These readings, which will continue after this copy in a highlighted box, are designed to make sure we have an accurate baseline background radiation measurement so any possible increases in radiation due to the horrific multiple meltdown threats emanating from Japan can be discerned.
A range of normal background radiation has been determined to be between 40 to 46 CPM. These measurements are similar to background measurements taken in this location over a long period of time.
Should radiation measured by the Inspector begin to rise to double background, we will be concerned. If the measurements go to triple background and above for a sustained period of time in the next few days, we might deduce that this may be coming from the Japan nuclear disaster.
Most importantly, this live stream gives you the information you want: how “hot” is it in the Los Angeles Basin.
We have rounded up a few live streams to some Geiger counters to help you monitor the radiation levels in different areas in real time from the nuclear reactors that have blown sky high from the earthquake in Japan bringing the world this major nuclear disaster. RED player is from LA California, GREY/WHITE Geiger counter streaming video player is from Tokyo and the GREEN player is in Driggs, Idaho. Bringing up the bottom row we have a PINK player from Helsinki, Finland (not always up) and another BLUE one from Saitama City, Japan. To avoid having them POP UP in a new window, USE THE PLAY ARROW IN THE COLORED BOTTOM NAV BARS to get them playing, DO NOT click on the video screen unless you are wanting that Geiger counter stream to open in a new browser tab or window! There is also some chat windows below the streaming Geiger counter feeds from others who are watching the radiation detection cams live. This is a temporary posting of the Geiger counters here and will be removed when and IF this disaster is over! May God help us ALL!
Location: Las Vegas. (HAS SOUND! You can hear the counts per minute, making it able to be monitored by ear as well).
