Your Radiation This Week #40

NEWSFLASH: US BIRTHRATE PLUNGES – SEE BELOW

San Francisco, by Bob Nichols January 23, 2016 – Good Day, this is “Your Radiation This Week.” These are the recorded Radiation Highs that affected people this week around the United States.

RADIATION CPM* COMPARISON CITY STATE

*Listed in Counts per Minute, a Count is One Radioactive Decay Registered by the Instrument.

*** All Radiation Counts Reported Are Partial Counts *** Uncounted types of radiation include Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Neutron and X-Ray radiation. Uncounted radiation, if added, makes the actual Count higher and more dangerous.

The highest radiation reporting city is listed first, the least radioactive city is listed last. Still, all reporting cities are above normal. These are the American cities that exceeded 1,000 CPM this week.

Normal Radiation is 5 to 20 CPM.⁶

🔴 Normal Radiation is 5 to 20 CPM.⁶

Highest Recorded Radioactive City In America This Week

Miami, Florida Wins! and is The Most Radioactive City in the Nation this Week. There is no prize . . . just heartache and pain.

Only twenty-four (24) American cities topped out at more than 1,000 CPM this week. There were Thirty (30) cities last week. There are Sixteen (16) American cities between 900 and 999 CPM, inclusive. Stay Alert and take all appropriate precautions. The most prevalent isotope, Cesium 137, takes a daunting 600 years to decay to infinitesimal levels and it is not even particularly long-lived radiation. The Cesium will remain for 600 years.

Bakersfield and Fresno, California stopped reporting for the time being or permanently in December 2015; it is not clear which. We’ll see what happens. In the meantime as a reminder, Fresno’s Five year Radioactive High is 2,504 CPM. Bakersfield’s 5 Year Rad High is 1,823 CPM.

I just could not overlook Washington, DC, at 383 CPM, subtotal Gamma and Beta, for a High Rad reading. This is not even a low for the District. The low Gamma only reading was only 73 CPM. Maybe they have some kind of fix for the Rad in DC? With all those politicians spending other people’s money?

If Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab came up with a way they even thought might work; don’t you think the politicians would buy it in an instant, no matter what the cost?

The total benefits package of living in Washington, DC are never ending and far surpass those of Normal men and women. Even New York City recorded a 769 CPM Radioactive High this week.

Big Shift in the Cities .

Lethality Up

It is actually much worse than it sounds, though. The Lethality goes up as the Radiation drops slightly after a nuclear disaster. This has happened outside the reactors – out in just plain old air. It’s really a Bummer in that respect.

This is a Big Change in the cities. The sudden change could be either an EPA reporting policy change, a purely administrative move to produce lower numbers. Or, it could be the scientific reality of Uranium 238 gaining a Neutron and becoming Plutonium 239, it’s bigger, meaner, fissile cousin. This is definitely not good.

Two weeks ago 35 cities were above 1000 CPM. One week ago 30 cities were above 30 CPM. This week 24 cities are above 1000 CPM. There was a corresponding growth in the number of cities between 900 to 999 CPM. Sixteen (16) cities are now between 900 and 999 CPM.

My thought is that a portion of the Uranium decayed to Plutonium and right on schedule. As a result, the air is more dangerous than ever. Stay tuned to YRTW, I’ll keep you advised.

___US Birthrate Plunges 1960 – 2014

A branch of the Federal government has faithfully compiled a list of dead kids, infants really, as numbers only for the past 55 years; it is called the CDC, or Center for Disease Control. As if pregnancy were a disease, if you can believe that.

The full impact of those thousands upon thousands of excess dead kids, finds its best expression in two simple numbers and they are easily calculated. The federal government is in the business of counting kids in a big way.

It is pretty simple really. The Total Fertility of the American population as measured in baby production ran at the rate of 118 kids for every 1,000 women in 1960. That had plunged to 62.9 babies for every 1,000 women by 2014. Americans it turns out, if judged as a herd of livestock, are doing none too well. In fact, that’s pretty shabby production.

The ongoing reason, year after year, for the erosion in human fertility is the horrific onslaught of uranium radiation, among other factors. Uranium is unique in one respect; Uranium Rad particles are attracted in an UN-natural way to Semen in men’s Balls and Eggs in women’s Ovaries.

The Rad-Dosed Babies are doomed before they are even born to lead stunted reproductive lives, generation after generation. The effect gets worse with each passing generation, too. Humans, animals, fish, or plants, it makes no difference, to the Rad it is all the same. The Mission is always – Attack and maim, or better – Kill.

Adult humans breathe about 17 times a minute, on average. Babies breathe faster. Each precious life giving breath may be contaminated with Uranium based Rad. As a result, Fertility is greatly reduced in the herd of people in the States as they grow older.

The numbers don’t lie. American Fertility plummeted over the past 75 years (1940 to 2014) also known as the Atomic Age of Uranium Radiation Poisoning. The next five year outlook is for yet another reduction in the Baby production.

Fight the scourge of radiation poisoning. Fight back. Make a baby today! Keep on till some of them live till they are a few years old. This is a National Security issue that’s very important; Do your part, men and women. Make a baby today for your country!

Do not despair if a few of your babies die along the way. There is nothing we can do about that; or, nothing much. Go Forward and make more!

Take Heart, it is consistent with the National Nuclear Policy. Onward! As Texas Wildcatters say, “Proceed without Fear or Caution. Drill on!”

___LA, or Los Angeles, California

Los Angeles Chemical and Nuclear Disaster

All the lib-er-al, conservative or otherwise inclined network jihadists reporters are going ape trying to convince you and everyone else that it is a chemical problem spewing in the LA environment. In LA-speak that means the air.

Nay, Nay not so. They are merely doing the job assigned to them … to mislead people with all the skill they can muster. They are very good, too, make no mistake about it.

Actually, the chemical problem is the lesser problem, though it will definitely kill you. The LA Nuclear Disaster is a Nuclear problem of the 1^st order, though.

The “methane” is usually called Natural Gas. It normally contains “natural radioactive materials” that are made in the inside of exploding stars. They are things like Uranium 238 and have been here since the planet was formed. They are in the very dirt of the Earth and thus are in natural gas, naturally. You can’t have one without the other.

The rogue well is spewing huge amounts of Natural Gas and about 1.91 Curie an hour maximum of natural radioactive material in the natural gas. Not much, you think? That is about 45.95 Curies per day. It is a really, really Big leak of natural gas and the radiation it always carries. A Curie is a unit of measure used in the United States to describe very large radioactive releases easily and this is a very big radioactive release.

The French Becquerel is a much more human sized unit of measure. One Becquerel is one Radioactive Count per Second. One Curie equals 37 Billion Becquerels or Radioactive Counts per Second. One point Seven Trillion Becquerels per day spew from the Natural Gas well. That’s a number with a bunch of Zeros – a real Fukushima Disaster Class number right here in the USA.

From Europe, AIPRI finds:

“In 80 days of viscous and gaseous fumes at a breakneck pace of 1.7 million ^m 3 per day (1115 tons per day at a rate of 46 tons per hour escape from the underground storage), 136 ^million m 3 Natural gas dispersed in the air could carry with them having TBq 301.24 (3,01E14 Bq) is 8.14 KCI natural radioactivity for respirable emanation of 12,060,000 Sievert is equivalent 2 41 million of potential lethal dose by inhalation to direx same dose coefficients from ICRP.” AIPRI [15] Translation by Google. ICRP is the International Commission on Radiological Protection.

This is just awful, folks. What it all means is it is time for people in LA and the San Fernando Valley to get out of town.

That’s the US for you, it just ain’t real unless the perps do something that will kill a lot of people. Anybody in LA up for Evacuating, Right Now, Porter Ranch style; or just ready to go for a walk-about?

Don’t worry, you’ve got company, all those nuclear refugees from St Louis, Missouri are out there somewhere. By the way, do not go where it typically snows. See below.

___Snowflakes and Radiation

zPic 1.2. 20160109 RadSnow, Good luck on keeping your friends or kids out of the Rad Nnow. Have them check out #RadSnow and #DodgeRadsNow it might help

Well, it is winter time again and many portions of the world in the Northern Hemisphere are scheduled to get varying amounts of snow. This is of supreme importance when we are talking about the Rads that are everywhere now.

Any kind of precipitation “scavenges” the Rad from the air as the precip passes through it. Snow is far and away the best Rad scavenger or collector there is. Snow grabs about 95% of the Rad in the air at the time it passes through it. The wind, of course, blows in more Rad or a reactor vents more Rad to your city directly.

Still want to play in the radioactive snow this year? I wouldn’t if I were you. Yea… that is one more thing we cannot do because of an odorless, tasteless, invisible, ittsy-bittsy piece of Rad metal that is in the air we breathe; and, adults breathe about 17 times a minute.

_Yuma, Phoenix and Tucson Rad Units Go High, Are Shutdown

Yuma, Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona all saw extended absences in their Rad measurement units this week after Yuma’s nation leading High Rad last week. Seems the New Westerners turn tail and run at the first sign they need to Man Up, or Woman Up, as the case may be. Gender is meaningless here; they deserted.

All the publicly reporting Rad Monitors were Switched Off when called on to perform. Y’know, what the staff gets paid good money to do, keep the machines running. So, who ordered them to shut down? Were the machines lobotomized, too, like in Billings, Montana?

The real question is still the same question as always: Where did the Rad come from – nuke weapons or nuke reactors? Yup, there are only two possible sources for this much Rad: Exploding nuclear weapons or daily venting of nuclear reactors. This is no high school physics lab test gone bad or backyard fission event.

Take your pick; You are damned if you do and damned if you don’t. There are no other big nuclear sources on this planet.

It takes about 40 days for High Rad intermingled with the Jet Stream to come around again and re-hit the States. There is so much Rad high up in the air that this always happens. Closer to home there is Sen John McCain’s Favorite reactor in Phoenix. Getting long-in-the-tooth, it is.

The World’s Nuke Weapons Labs know, of course; exactly where the Rad came from; but, they aren’t talking – not their job. The original sources are still the same, though: weapons or reactors. Take your pick. Don’t dither. The Rad excursion happened Dec 18, 2015. Somewhere another will happen today; and tomorrow, and all our tomorrows forever.

___Analysis of Certain Isotopes after Meltdown in 1992

Hold on to your hat. In 1992 Germany calculated that in reactor meltdowns like Fukushima Daiichi the radioactive isotope Strontium 90 would aggressively poison the environment for 109.2 years and then decline slowly over the next 273 years. Of course, we will ALL be long dead by then. Other deadly Rad isotopes put Strontium 90’s generous life span to shame.

The German study is here for those brave enough to tackle it. Source: The IAEA: "Dispersion of radionuclides and radiation exposure after leaching by groundwater of a solidified core-concrete melt” by Bayer, A.; Tromm, W.; Al-Omari, I. (Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe (Germany)) from 8. International congress of the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA8)

⎯ Isotope Count Reporting ⎯

These CPM numbers do not represent the real radiation counts in your radiation weather this week. It is actually much higher [worse] than these government certified partial reports say. Use these report numbers as your Starting Point in adding up your daily, monthly and annual exposure from your Rad Weather.

Most Radiation Monitors report on the radioactive presence of Cesium 137 at the detector. YRTW will report on the secrets the Pros use in estimating the actual Total radiation counts. It is not a pretty picture.

The Lethality from a specific release goes up for 35 years; then the Lethality declines slightly and hangs steady for thousands of years. Regrettably for all Normal Humans that is many generations. The end result, of course, is extinction of our species and all others. Everybody is included; no one is left out. I know of no variety of Humans immune to radiation.

Day One out of the reactor use a Cesium 137/134 CPM multiplier of 150 Times. After 15 days outside the reactor the multiplier is still about 100 times the two similarly named Cesium Isotopes – Cesium 137 and Cesium 134. After 10 years have passed from that release, the Multiplier is Five Times the common published Cesium 137 report.

The Lethality Is Still Increasing Though. Yes, the Radiation is going down and the Lethality is going up at the same time for 35 years after a big release. That is a really hard to understand point about Your Rad Weather This Week. Each new major Rad release starts the Cesium countdown clock all over again, too. It gets … complicated; with all the overlapping and the daily releases.

Here’s How You Can Calculate An Estimate Of Your Total Rad Today: Use a reported account of your Cesium 137 CPM and Multiply Times 5. Another way to say it is Cs137CPM X 5.0 = Your Total Radiation Estimate. That’s it. No magic. Just the facts as close as you can calculate it. Good Luck.

However, Provided Cesium 134 Is Present you are experiencing a recent radioactive release and all bets are off. Why is that? Because the two Rad Isotopes decay at greatly different rates. The relatively long lived Cs 137 is half gone in 30.1 years. The shorter lived Cesium 134 is half gone in only 2.06 years. As a result the Multiplier changes very rapidly.

Radiation Types Commonly Measured by radiation monitors include Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Neutron and X-Ray radiation. Only Beta and Gamma are reported by the EPA and here on YRTW. The only thing they have in common is that all will kill you. There are also 1,944 known individual Rad elements, only a few are ever mentioned in articles.

In Short, the newer disaster’s Cesium 137/134 immediate radiation readings so conveniently echoed by official news outlets tell you right away by simple Multiplication how big the disaster really is. Think of it as the insider’s secret code. Multiply away!

How Often Do Radioactive Releases Occur? The Answer Is: Radioactive Releases Occur Daily In Most Reactors. This almost daily reactor Venting does complicate your health and your estimated Rad readings. May you always have better Rad Weather; but, that’s not likely.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

Isotope Detectors

If You Have A Lot Of Money You Can Buy An Isotope Detector that will tell you the name of isotopes it is tuned to detect. They are excellent tools for determining specific Rad elements. More power to you if you can afford one, or a group of you can pony up the Bucks to buy one. In this case knowledge is power. That kind of power can only be bought.

Without it, you have what the Pro-Nukers laughingly refer to in our lives as “A shortened life span.” That means the Pro-nukers are joyfully killing people these 70 years now and have no intention of stopping. I mean, after all, They Get Rich Slaughtering Us.

Jeeeez, Where Is Master Sergeant Woods, 3rd Army Hangman in WWII? We need him to hang these Stainless Steel Psychopaths and their political hirelings, all legal like.

Abstract: “Controlled burning of experimental plots of forest or grassland in the Chernobyl exclusion zone has been carried out in order to estimate the parameters of radionuclide resuspension, transport and deposition during forest and grassland fires and to evaluate the working conditions of firemen. An increase of several orders of magnitude of the airborne radionuclide concentration was observed in the territory near the fire area. The resuspension factor for 137Cs and 90Sr was determined to range from 106 to 105 m1 the plutonium radionuclides from 107 to 106 m1 (related to the nuclides in the combustible biomass). These values are 2 orders of magnitude lower if they are calculated relatively to the total contamination density (including the nuclides in the soil). The radionuclide fallout along the plume axis is negligible in comparison to the existing contamination. However, the additional inhalation dose for firemen exposed in, and for …”
