Are you in a city that gets a Million Counts of Radiation a Week? First, how on earth are you going to find out? That is a secret, isn’t it? Radiation?

MILLION A WEEK CLUB – YRTW 36 – WIND MAP

Summary

The nearby Targeted Population of US nuclear power plants is 160,876,377 people by the official 2010 US Census.

They were exposed to measured Gamma Rad of: 
Two billion,
eight hundred eighty-nine million,
five hundred sixty-nine thousand,
one hundred eighteen, or 2,889,569,118 CPM.

MILLION A WEEK CLUB – YRTW 36

YTD is short for Year to Date. It means January 1 of the current year to today. CPM is short for Counts Per Minute.

Source RadNet Gamma radiation readings are taken hourly throughout the year. Radiation covers the US like a deadly blanket.

That’s 8,760 cpm Counts on each city listed in a year; local radioactive counts are recorded every minute. That’s 8,784 cpm count hourly reports in a Leap Year.

The increase in Gamma radiation in the States this week, September 8, 2018, to September 15, 2018, was a high 82,915,093 CPM YTD. 

This is an increase in only a week that is way too high a price to pay in deaths and lost health; in addition to being just plain Wrong.

See NEW DATA in the Colorado Springs, Colorado Radiation History 2006 – 2017, and the 2018 Annualized Rate of Gamma Rad.  

Note: Colorado Springs data was WITHHELD for 2006 and 2007, and continues to be WITHHELD by the PTB [Powers that Be].

I wonder what really happened around Colorado Springs in 2006 and 2007, don’t you?

Once emitted from the nuclear power plant, the Rad travels with the wind.

Much of it goes around the world and is detected on the West Coast of the United States.

Nuke Power Plants add to the deadly radiation every minute of every day. There are 525,600 total minutes in 2018.

The Rad measured YTD in 2018, so far: 2,889,569,118 cpm. [in Billions]

The Total Gamma Rad 2018 Annual Projection is just over 4.08 Billion Gamma Rad for the US.

The Rad measured YTD in 2014 was 2,892,952,789 cpm. That is slightly Higher than 2018 YTD.

Dr. John Gofman, Medical Director of the Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab famously called that kind of thing “premeditated murder.”

This nuke stuff gets real serious, real quick. It’s a nasty, nasty business.

“This is a Bad situation for all who breathe,” states EU physicist Dr. Paolo Scampa.[5] Now included, for the 36th Week of 2018 just passed, all cities above 36 Million CPM [27] Year to Date [YTD] of deadly Gamma Radiation.

Gamma “Rays” unpublished radioactive kin are a disastrous freebie from the PTB [Powers that Be.] A Count is One Radioactive Decay.

SHOWSTOPPER

Today’s 258-day or 6,192-hour report for January 1, 2018 to September 15, 2018, is another case of Bad news from your radWeather Report. 70.68% [to September 15] of 2018 is gone.

I won’t try to kid you with good news lies and made up “fake facts.” Bottom-line, this is way too much radiation for humans to take.

I despise the people-like animals responsible for this world wide calamity. I will continue the report as long as I am able.

Continue to read and share as long as you are able. Tell your smart friends; the others, not so much.

The Perps knew exactly what they were doing and did it anyway. That’s textbook psychopathic behavior and a whole bucketload of Criminal Acts.

Denial is very strong in Americans; expect it often. Don’t let it get you down; there are millions of folks who know the score on the Rad. Persevere, Find Others. Figure out what to do.

I will measure and characterize our shared demise to the best of my ability. BookMark this page and Sign up for Emails on my Websites; I’ll keep you advised.

Within minutes or hours of publishing this

Within minutes or hours of publishing this list of cities over 36 Million YTD Counts of Radiation, four more cities will Zoom past 36 Million Counts of deadly Gamma Radiation since January 1, 2018.

Their killer attack on your body’s trillions of cells never ceases. It did not used to be that way y’know – back in the day.

There were only four radioactive Isotopes in existence and their Decay products. They were mostly in the ground.

Today there are 1,946 known radioactive Isotopes in existence in our atmosphere. The known Gamma radioactive Isotopes are measured by RadNet [1] and reported here.

RadNet has largely stopped reporting radioactive Beta counts. No explanation was given.

Cell assassins, like Plutonium 239, and its brothers were never around; they did not exist on this Planet. That will be 27 cities above 36 Million Rad Counts so far this year.

Max Normal Safe Level

The United States is a very radioactive country. No monitored cities are below the MaxNormalSafeLevel; all monitored cities are above safe level.

Records of Total Gamma Radiation are easily accessible with a computer and a fast Internet connection at RadNet, a directorate of the EPA. [1]

RadNet simply presents the data. It is up to you to decide how much radiation is too much and what to do about it.

Use a fast InterNet connection or run the look-ups as a background task. Either way, you get the data yourself.

Good luck on your efforts. As they say, “It’s complicated.”

Conclusion. The amount of Rad in the air now Dooms Humanity to a relatively quick Extinction.

Have a wonderful radioactive weekend and remember to Dodge the Rads, it’s dangerous out there.

TOTAL GAMMA RADIATION YRTW No 19 and 20

MILLION A WEEK CLUB Your Radiation This Week by Bob Nichols

In Fayetteville, Arkansas what is laughingly called a “university” has taken up dumping radioactive water used in a reactor down the city sewer system. Beyond stupid, this is just plain old fashioned criminal.

TOTAL GAMMA RADIATION YRTW No 19 and 20

By Bob Nichols on June 3, 2017

Facing a Dying Nation

Notice:  It is necessary for public health and because the many nuclear reactors are venting radioactive gases and steam at nights and on weekends so that all residents must stay inside at nights and on weekends. Especially hard hit are the cities listed in YRTW ELE.   See the latest Your Radiation This Week for the most recent list of reporting contaminated cities. Bob Nichols

Good Day!  This is “Your Radiation This Week ” for the past 2 weeks. These are the recorded Total Gamma Radiation in CPM and Sievert measured highs that affected people around the United States.

YRTW ELE is published every two weeks on Saturday. ELE is an acronym for “Extinction Level Event.” The amount of Rad in the air now Dooms Humanity to a relatively quick Extinction; Done In by our own war toys, how moronic is that! I can’t say it any plainer than that. The next publication dates are June 17, 2017 and July 1, 2017 on the Road to Extinction.

Really Stupid

In Fayetteville, Arkansas what is laughingly called a “university” has taken up dumping radioactive water used in a reactor down the city sewer system. Beyond stupid, this is just plain old fashioned criminal. (20)

Dr. Paolo Scampa on a 120kt Nuclear Detonation

The 120 kiloton detonation takes only 600 nanoseconds. Here Dr. Scampa describes it in only 195 words.

“An atomic bomb 120 Kt develops energy 502.08 thousand billion Joules obtained by paperless (m = E / c2) 5,016E14 Joules / (299 792 458 m / s2) = 5.58 g of material or even more simply 120 Kt * 0.0465 gr / Kt = 5,58 gr material. This digitization occurs with almost simultaneous
fission 17.33 million billion billion atoms (1,733E25) contained in 6.88 kg of Pu239 (1,733E25 atoms / (6,0221415E + 23/239) atoms / gr = 6.88 kg). The rapid reaction divergent chain that leads to this explosion is accomplished in less than 600 nanoseconds and occupies about 59 neutron generations assuming that each fission emits on average 2.7 neutrons. A colossal radioactivity 4 million billion billion Becquerel (Bq 4,00E24 corresponding to 108,000 billion Curie) ensues while the temperature of the load can be up to 100 million degrees centigrade. (The initial radioactivity of the nuclear charge overdrive dizzily at time zero to 46.85 billion times if it is to Pu 239 738.22 thousand billion times the case of U235.) A such atomic explosion 120 Kt produced a fireball of about 745 meters in diameter. * 54.86 m (120 Kt0,4) * 2 = 744.71.”

Fukushima Liability set by Japanese Court

What? Sue TEPCO and the Government of Japan over Fukushima Daiichi … and Win! Incredible! You bet your bottom dollar!

Lead Attorney Katsuyoshi Suzuki is the Super Lawyer who beat the combined forces the Tokyo Electric Power Company [TEPCO,] a hugecorporation and the Japanese government. He and the legal team are to be applauded world wide.

The District Court ordered “the two to pay damages totaling ¥38.55 million to 62 of 137 plaintiffs from 45 households located near the plant, which suffered a triple meltdown caused by the tsunami, awarding ¥70,000 to ¥3.5 million in compensation to each plaintiff.”

As one person wryly observed “it’s a judgement against a shell company and a bankrupt extinct-ed country. So what? there is nothing there.”

As they say, we will see what happens. The Japan Times said “In first, the ruling was the first of 30 similar class-action suits filed nationwide involving more than 10,000 plaintiffs.”

YRTW ELE readers can read the Japan Times article “In First, Government and TEPCO Found Liable for Fukushima Disaster.” Anyone can lookup the case on my Soc Media accounts. See under “Resources” below.

Have a wonderful radioactive weekend and remember to Dodge the Rads, it’s dangerous out there.
