Interior Graph by Dale Ramicone from 7-31-11 to 10-03-11
EnviroReporter.com also has in-depth databases of information from Spring 2011 to the present including Special Radiation Station Testing, hundreds of originally-test food tests in Eat Me Receipts along with food and drink radiation testing from over a dozen nations in Radiation Food Lab. Additionally, seven Radiation Stations across America and Australia are monitoring ionization levels and conducting individual testing.
This comprehensive database has helped inform our numerous Radiation Station investigations and posts. Use of EnviroReporter.com-sourced scientific tests and observations has helped us know what is, and isn’t, hot in our environment and foodstuffs here in California and across the country. No other media outfit in the United States has the equipment, knowledge and know-how to perform and gather comprehensive testing databases of the ongoing triple meltdowns in Japan.
This database has informed numerous articles including Beta Watch, L.A. Rain Radiation Over Five Times Normal, Japanese Seaweed Radiation Doubles, A Radioactive Nightmare and No Place to Hide.
For over half a year once the Fukushima multiple meltdowns disaster began, EnviroReporter.com tallied ionizing events over 10-minute periods then dividing the total by 10 to get a really accurate count per minute or CPM. We began this testing well before any fallout from the Fukushima meltdowns could have impacted Southern California.

This helped us establish a baseline background range in order to see any possible spikes in radiation should the Jet Stream finally carry the radiation to this area. Having created that baseline, we now are concentrating on specific radiation testing of multiple media in various locations and posting the results. These tests, often videotaped, are now far more important than repeated averaging. Our radiation monitor remains in service 24-7 for immediate and accurate radiation readings in the western area of the Greater Los Angeles Basin.
Our RadAlert Inspector Nuclear Radiation Monitor is located 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.
The Inspector picks up ionizing radiation and, in the setting you are seeing, is measuring in Counts Per Minute or CPM. Many radiation readings are taken in millirems per hour, or mR/hr. The conversion for the Inspector is 1 mR/hr = 3500 CPM.
SEE RADIATION STATION GRAPHS by Dale Ramicone which show half a year’s worth of Radiation Station tests documenting west Los Angeles Basin and special tests radiation.
We have been measuring in CPM because it is easier for most people to see the difference in radiation levels. The baseline external radiation background we’ve established for this location is 42 to 46 CPM which equals 0.012 to 0.013 mR/hr.

Here are the 10 minute averages we have recorded from our Santa Monica/West LA location from March 15 to September 6, 2011. Following that are exclusive special tests which also rely on 10 minute averages. The normal range is between 42 CPM to 46 CPM (0.012 mR/hr to 0.013 mR/hr) for Exterior readings. On July 13, 2011, after reviewing the data generated since March 15, 2011, we determined that the normal range for Interior readings was/is 35 CPM to 40 CPM.

Note that none of our readings at Radiation Station Santa Monica are impacted by radon progeny as we discuss in Beta Watch.

This is superb news. There is less atmospheric fallout yet the Pacific Ocean is continuing to take a hammering as we chronicle in Rad News Digest II.

4:40pm MST INT JET CABIN 37,985 with sampling ending simultaneously with near-miss with chemtrail jet: 1,098 CPM^. Inspector Alert manual says to expect 200 CPM at 30,000. the Inspector Alert nuclear radiation monitors which can detect alpha, beta, gamma and x-ray radiation. It is made by Tennessee-based SE International, Inc.. SE International’s “Radiation Basics” page says “When you fly in an air plane at 30,000 feet your rate meter is getting 200 CPM [Counts Per Minute] for anywhere between 2 to 5 hours.” This reading was over 5 times that, however at 8,000 higher which would account for some, but not nearly all that high radiation.

9:20pm: 10-minute INTERIOR average background: 45.9 CPM^
12/01/12
8:15pm 10-minute INTERIOR average RAIN SAMPLE: 45.2 CPM^ Below background is indicative of the effect water has on shielding radiation in the sample but in this case, there was no added radiation. No radon progeny per norm.
8:00pm: 10-minute INTERIOR average background: 49.3 CPM^
11/30/12
10:15am 10-minute INTERIOR average RAIN SAMPLE: 47.3CPM^ meaning rain sample registers at background statistically.

9:15pm: 10-minute INTERIOR average background: 45.2 CPM^
11/17/12
5:20pm 10-minute INTERIOR average RAIN SAMPLE: 42.3 CPM^ meaning rain sample has no added radioactivity and is not impacted by radon daughters or progeny as discussed extensively before.

10/25/12
10:00am 10-minute INTERIOR average RAIN SAMPLE GRAND JUNCTION CO: 61.7 CPM^ [21.9% HIGHER THAN BACKGROUND - Took sample after enough rain removed radon washout so true reading of overage.]

8:15am 10-minute INTERIOR average background: 49.4 CPM^
11/08/12
5:30pm: 10-minute INTERIOR average RAIN SAMPLE: 49.7 CPM [The amount over background is within the Inspector Alert's margin of error and is therefore negligible and determined as background meaning no detection of Fukushima fallout. Also Radiation Station Santa Monica is not impacted by radon progeny affecting our rain readings hence no heightened radiation as has been the case at this site since measurements for Fukushima radiation began 3/15/11, four days after the meltdowns began.]
