Bit of a spike in BETA count early morning 03 April at the (EPA.GOV) Idaho Falls radiation monitor.
Any private radiation monitor data to compare this with? . http://www.epa.gov/radiation/rert/radnet-idahofalls-bg.html |

Sorry, I farted?
Honestly, in a town with workers from the INL, and having a source company in town, a minor beta spike isn't something to worry about in the slightest. That wasn't even the biggest beta spike on the graph, nor the highest micro-baseline. But I'm going to try to pick up a gammascout for the super cheap on ebay, after the radiation craze has passed. |

Quoted:
Beta has very low pentration power. It can be shielded with a piece of paper, depending on strength of the source.
So, then the trick is to be sure and individually wrap any stray radionucleides in PAPER before ingesting them. This way the radiation wont harm any of your cells or internal organs. Thank you for the tip. |
