Radiation Alert in Alabama? 1 Hour of Measurements!

[AlexanderLight]

t 5:26 AM, the website RadiationNetwork.com was showing in Alabama radiation readings above the alert level, of 100 CPM! I watched the readings for an hour, until the device went offline (reading 0).

The readings are as follows 3.28.2011:
5:26 AM - 105 CPM (Radiation Alert above 100 CPM)!
5:28 - 107
5:30 - 113
5:33 - 149
5:38 - 127
5:43 - 136
5:44 - 128
5:46 - 137
5:48 - 139
5:50 - 141
5:52 - 146
5:57 - 143
After 6:00 AM, the readings are higher:
6:01 - 160
6:02 - 167
~6:05 (hour & date glitch) - 174 (the highest reading!)
6:11 - 140
6:14 - 165
6:18 - 163
6:25 - 165
6:26 - 159
Device offline, suddenly showing 0!

I cannot guarantee if the readings are accurate or not. Check the website yourself: www.RadiationNetwork.com

Only Alabama? Well, the only radiation detector in that area is in Alabama, but above 100 CPM radiation levels could also be present in:
- Mississippi;
- Georgia (especially Atlanta);
- Arkansas;
- Tennessee;
- Kentucky;
- South Carolina;

I repeat, it may be a false alarm, but please take notice and protect yourself. Try to stay inside, do not allow rain to touch your skin & wear a face mask. Love and health!

P.S. 07:05AM, the device is back online, showing normal readings: 30-40 CPM.

That was odd i was wondeing how it went back to normal all of the sudden?Just like that?

[AlexanderLight]

@Arpheus, at first it went to 0 for half an hour. Someone probably unplugged the device. Now it's showing normal readings.

Are the readings correct now, or something else is happening there?

The radiation cloud might have moved away from that area, but why the sudden 0 for ~30 minutes?

It's been raining in North AL most of the night of 3/27 and early morning of 3/28. Is there any chance that it could malfunction due to electromagnetic interference (lightning) or some other natural cause? You would think that if it was a radiation plume in the upper atmosphere, that it could be tracked sweeping across more than one of these indicators, but who knows for sure? How high up in the atmosphere can one of these radiation filled clouds go without detection, then it just gets carried down by a low pressure wave?

I wasn't sure it rained in AL, even though the weather radar was showing rainfall.

What I think it happened:
The radiation detectors from RadiationNetwork.com are measuring the radiation levels at ground level (and just a little above). Rain brought radiation to the ground from the upper atmosphere and it was registered by that device.

3.29.2011 UPDATE
The Alabama radiation detector that registered the above readings yesterday, is not even present on the map anymore.

This is their official response:
"Update: 3/28/11, 8:40 A.M. Here is follow up on the Radiation Alert from this morning. The Monitoring Station in question is located in Huntsville, Alabama. It triggered alerts based on radiation levels averaging in the 100 to 150 CPM range. We tried to reach the station through a number of different means, including via the Chat forum available from within the Radiation Network, but to no avail. So after a half hour or so, we contacted the Huntsville Fire Department and recommended they take independent radiation readings in the vicinity of the Monitoring Station. After all, Huntsville, AL is located about 30 miles from two different nuclear power plants, so we had to take this alert seriously. Fortunately, their readings showed no elevated radiation levels above normal background. After some time, radiation levels from the Monitoring Station in question dropped first to 0, then resumed at normal levels. But still receiving no response from the station, we disabled it, essentially removing it from the Radiation Network. We want to thank the Huntsville Fire Department for their timely support in this matter. I will write more on this incident later." (http://radiationnetwork.com/Message.htm)

So they the radiation detector dropped to 0 (Zero) by its own after reading for 1 hour+ radiation in that area? Then it suddenly resumed and begun reading normal levels?
Later, because they haven't received any response from the station, they disable it! I don't buy this at all! If someone told them to unplug the radiation detector would they tell us?

Gulp! This is my town, my home. I worry about being close to these reactors too.

Hello Avaloners,

I've started a new thread titled Leuren Moret: Worst Nuclear Disaster in the History of the Planet
to avoid posting the video in multiple related threads.

Apologies
