It's at 54 something. What's the unit of measure?

I don't know which is most sad....the fact someone feels the need to set up a radiation detector to monitor for Japanese radiation that will never reach the West Coast in the first place, or the fact there are actually 300+ dolts signed in there watching this.

Radiation will reach the west coast without a doubt, it just won't be dangerous. |

from another thread:
"you guys are measuring wrong. If you want to measure radioactive "air" per say. Then you need a small vacuum pump with a sterile filter. Run the pump for 10 minutes then measure the filter sample with a Geiger counter. You aint gonna measure any air or gas with a personal scintillation device, (well maybe a small amount, but not an accurate reading.) units of measure should be Micro Curies per mL." |

So, I haven't heard of Micro Curies/mL yet... how does it compare with all the other measurements running around right now?

It might also help if they put the unit outdoors instead of on a shelf in their living room. |

Quoted: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CurieSo, I haven't heard of Micro Curies/mL yet... how does it compare with all the other measurements running around right now? and what you want to measure is how much of the air is radioactive, thats why you use volume; ml. |

Quoted: lol, yea that too. But it wont matter, because it wont measure the air properly anyway.Quoted: from another thread: "you guys are measuring wrong.

Ohh and don't shoot the messenger http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/03/16/science/plume-graphic.html?ref=science Some in this thread are being overly harsh. ARFCom works like an intelligence agency in a way. We should be supportive of anyone who can bring forth information, no matter how far fetched it seems... That's called data mining... The more, the better. Next you have the low level analysts who sift through the raw data, and filter out what is obviously false/wrong... All that they can't filter out gets pushed up to Subject Matter Experts. The SMEs review the data, and determine what it means in technical terms... This technical information is then turned into real world meaning by the high level analysts. The amazing thing about ARFCom, is this happens naturally here, without official organization. So we should always encourage any information to be brought forward... It's only when data-miners start arguing with the SMEs that we need to put someone in their place. [/pontification] Nahal: Information relating to the Fukushima event would be better placed in the Fukushima official thread, rather than a new thread.

You know they already have a couple of iPhone Geiger Counter apps out, right?
Since the iPhone has no ability to measure radiation, the apps just display random numbers. 
Some people! |

Meh. I don't care to spend the money on a decent setup, but I did get a Terra-P last year after the big geiger counter thread here. I don't want to dig it out and take a measurement right this minute, but as of yesterday it was still just normal background radiation at around 0.1 uSv/hr. Short of a confirmed large-scale meltdown with breached containment and significant ejection into the atmosphere, I don't expect it to go up much if at all here in Oregon. But I'll keep checking once or twice a day for the next couple of weeks

Not to say its going to be deadly - but there is such a thing as 'safe' radiation? |
