Your Radiation This Week – September 10, 2022
Welcome to old hands and newbies alike.
I’ve written about radiation topics for 50 years and published my thoughts and current RadNet data for 22 years.
All data is collected, checked and verified by a federal government agency, RadNet, https://radnet.epa.gov/radnet-public/query.do
Any errors or omissions are my own.
This paper deals with human death and illness and is not recommended for children. If you are over 18 years of age, you are on your own.

3. These stations’ Radiation equals Total Gamma Radiation. Gamma Radiation Monitors are reporting publicly at all these locations. CPM. “Although we can’t see it, taste it, smell it or hear it we can measure radiation and observe its effects. One way to measure radiation which the United States Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] has chosen to use on its radiation websites is in Counts Per Minute or CPM. Each Count is One Radioactive Decay.” Quote from the ‘Your Radiation This Week’ Apr 3, 2015
