Your Radiation This Week No 69 and 70

(San Francisco) August 13, 2016 – Good Day, this is “Your Radiation This Week” for the past 2 weeks. These are the  Recorded Beta and Gamma Combined Radiation Highs that affected people around the United States. After all, we are Not Immune to either one.

Radiation CPM * City State

Listed in Counts per Minute, a Count is one Radioactive Decay Registered by the Instrument. The Top Reporting Radioactive Cities are listed. The highest radiation reporting city is listed first, the least radioactive city reporting is listed last.

Still, all reporting cities are above normal. These are a portion of the American cities that exceeded 1,000 CPM these past 2 weeks. 44 Cities are Reporting Radiation Above 1,000 CPM. Last issue it was only 34 cities. Take precautions.

Normal Radiation is 5 to 20 CPM [4]

Count – 44 Cities Reporting Radiation Above 1,000 CPM

Normal Radiation is 5 to 20 CPM [4]

YRTW No 67 and 68 Question

In YRTW No 67 and 68, a reader asked several questions, including, “Are there any corroborating measurements by independent observers?”   My response is below:

” … hmm, the thing to do amidst so much doubt, is to start with the science and build a picture of the nuclear inventory over the past 70 years. Then you have proof, not conjecture dependent on anybody.

“So, that is what I set about to do. Once you know the total inventory,  all else falls into place with precision.

“It’s a rough ride for your thoughts and feelings; but, we’ve all got those, or we wouldn’t be human.” 

Changes

The Combined Beta and Gamma Radiation numbers publication dates are changed to publication twice a month. The next publication date for the reporting cities’ Radiation Numbers is August 27, 2016.

The YRTW Table of poisoned American cities has changed by adding a Column on the Right hand side. It is labeled “Corrupted?” The purpose of the column is to provide guidance as to the reliability, consistency and truthfulness of an individual city’s High Rad reading for the last 2 weeks.

Since a city’s report is subject to many strongly felt opinions that can affect Rad Readings, whether or not the Rad Unit was reporting at least 336 Hours (24 X 7v X2)  takes on additional importance. The number of hours the machines work in a week is not an opinion.

It is a number, a measure of efficiency. The unit either reported publicly; or it failed to do so 100% of the time. It can’t do both.

All things being equal there should be One Reading per Hour for 168 Rad readings a week. The corruption may originate with a machine error, programming glitch, human intervention or change, intended or not. Not reporting is an error; and quite possibly a crime.

Corrupted?

The response may be “Yes” for “Yes, it is corrupted.” The entry will be “Left Blank” for “Not Suspected.” The most common departure from normal radiation reporting is reporting less than 168 times a week.

New Category – MIA 1YrHigh

“MIA 1YrHigh” is a new category under the column labeled Type of Rad. It means “Missing in Action – 1 Year High.”
