Radioactive fog. Over 10x on motorcycle leathers. June 30th 2013

RadLevelsEngland 2013-06-30 | Radioactive fog. Over 10x on motorcycle leathers. June 30th 2013

Firstly apologies for shaky and short video. My memory card was almost full so only had a few mins on a low resolution setting.

Location: South Devon, England
Weather: Foggy
Ten min timed count: 316.2cpm
(34cpm is my normal background)
Time: around 05.29hrs GMT
Date: 30th June 2013
Altitude 92meters (my home)
Geiger counter: Inspector EXP+

Info:
I left a friends house about 04:10hrs in Torquay (my home town) to travel back home (the slightly longer way for safety as the shorter way was more foggy as there were many higher elevations points so the fog would have been even thicker but it was still bad.

Anyway I got home and the first thing I did whilst still in all my leathers etc was take a 1 square meter swipe off my car as there was a lot of moisture on the car, maybe it had rained or it was morning dew etc. This sample only measured max 80cpm (peak, no timed count), so I binned that swipe and thought why not check my motor bike books and was amazed to see a few hundred cpm (counts per min).

Anyway I must have got exposed to the radiation in the fog somewhere between Torquay and 6-8 miles from home. Riding in thick morning fog on a motor bike in low light is not the most pleasant of an experience as the fine water vapour just sticks to the visor so visibility is very poor.

My leathers etc were practically dry except for my visor and a damp area on toes of boots and my left index finger of my leather gloves as I was using this to wipe/clear my visor but the finger on the gloves were only damp. I decided to do a timed count of this part of my glove. I would add that although dry other areas of my leathers like forearms, shoulders etc were also pushing over 300cpm

I shot the video above several minuets before I started a ten min timed count of my left index finger of my left motorcycle glove but some 30mins had elapsed since I had got home but also a further 10mins had passed I would say as I wasn't ridding in any fog for the last 10min or so of my journey so approximately 40mins had passed since I last was exposed to the fog and started the test. Therefore talking into account the half life one could make a rough calculation and say that at its peak ie when I was in the fog the actually CPM could easily have been much higher as the half life was 52.6min and 40min or so had passed since I started the test so I perhaps easily 500cpm as a rough estimate.

The results of the ten min timed count came in at 316.2cpm.
I conducted a follow up study to find the half life.
The half life was 52.6min which I confirmed through two half life steps.
52.6min happens to be the half life of Iodine-134 (I-134)
Iodine-134 is a beta emitter so I checked to see what type of decay was being emitted from my contaminated leathers mainly my glove.
I did this by blocking any possible alpha radiation by placing a sheet of paper between the glove and the GM tube to see if the radiation being measured would drop, I also re did this test with a thick piece of card instead of paper, there was no difference therefore this showed that this was a beta and/or potentially a gamma emitter. I then placed a 2-3 millimetres of aluminium between the glove and the GM tube and the levels dropped completely off. So this was proof that it was 100% a beta emitter. And the fact that I-134 is a beta emitter and it's half life match what I observed well......hummmm!

Time:
05:29hr.................316.2cpm
52.6min later..........150cpm
52.5min later...........73.5cpm
Accuracy of Inspector EXP ±10% - 15%

The low level wind data I saw didn't give me any indication where this came from but the jet stream, and more importantly the slow moving air mass of the jet stream was over my location.

If indeed this was I-134 where did it come from. This I am certain was not any radon or radon progeny as the half life proved this. That bit was for the trolls lol

Be safe people!

1 square meter rain swipe off roof of my car (standard).

I've nothing more to add other than the first half life matched the same as this morning ie 52.5min (I-134) but unfortunately I was distracted and not able to follow the next two half life steps. That bugs when that happens. But anyway it is what it is and it for sure was not radon progeny guaranteed.

Oh I almost forgot I forgot to say that this sample in this video was 100% all beta decay. There was zero alpha decay.
This may confirm the half life from this mornings rain swipe half life study and the one half life step on this sample which both had a half life of 52.6min which just so happens to be Iodine-134 which is a beta emitter. Funny that!

84340cpm (peak) from Americium-241 (Am-241) removed from a smoke detector

RadLevelsEngland 2013-05-28 | Americium-241 (Am-241)

This Am-241 made my Inspector EXP+ Geiger counter scream like crazy and it peaked at 84340cpm which for comparison is 2470x above my normal background based at 34cpm (savage eh!)

My Inspector EXP+ is calibrated to Cesium-137 (Cs-137) but for the benefit of some friends who only have Geiger counters that measure in microsievert per hour (μSv/h) I switched my unit to microsievert and again measured this Am-241. Although the readings would not be totally accurate as the calibration would not be accurate for Am-241 I thought it would be interesting nevertheless.

The Am-241 peaked at 236μSv/h which is interesting because 1μSv/h is approximately 320cpm on my Inspector EXP+ so I believe, this 236μSv/h would therefore be around 75520cpm (236μSv/h x 320cpm). In some off camera measurements I was observing between 76000cpm -78000cpm.

Anyway this was just for fun and for no other purpose than to hear my Geiger scream.

Background on Americum-241.
Am-241 is the radioactive isotope in most smoke detectors, it is an alpha emitter and also is a low energy gamma emitter. Fortunately this alpha activity is shielded although this alpha decay travels very short distances but some of the low energy gamma does escape.

Radiation Data:
Type......... .Energy............Percentage
Alpha..........5485 keV........84.5
Alpha..........5443keV........13.0
Gamma......59.5 keV.........35.9
Gamma......26.3 keV.........2.4
Gamma......13.9 keV.........42

At the start of the video at the top left you will see another smoke detect 'intact but opened up', this particular smoke detector emits around 220cpm of low energy gamma even through the shielding but the gamma does not travel to far. Still this particular smoke detect was banished from my house as I didn't fancy sitting near it as I could still detect 60-70cpm several feet away. A different brand detect managed to do a better job a shielding the gamma emissions.

This particular smoke detector I took apart contained 1.0uCi of Am-241 where as the other smoke detector in the video only contained 0.9 uCi of Am-241 hence taking this one apart. I dismantled this out door very carefully and I wore gloves and mask as a precaution.

Think about how many smoke detects end up in land fill and eventually this Am-241 ends up getting into the water table etc. Am-241 has a half life of 432.2 years so come back in over 4300 minimum and it would all have decayed away. I wonder if the world will still be inhabited by humans in 4300 years. A few more Fukushima's and I doubt it. There are millions & millions of smoke detectors worldwide of the sort containing the radioactive isotope Americium-241 a daughter of Plutonium-241 which ultimately is produced inside nuclear reactors of which there are around 440 nuclear power reactors in 31 countries at this moment in time.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) say conservatively nuclear power will increase by 23% by 2030 but in a maximum scenario it will be doubled. There are currently 68 nuclear power plants under construction as of 2013 and two thirds are in Asia YIKES!!!

Its only a matter of time before that little piece of a radioactive isotope in your home in your smoke detector ie Am-241 is joined by many hundreds of other radioactive isotopes released into the biosphere by the many other exploding and melting down nuclear reactors just like what happened at Fukushima on March 2011 and Chernobyl 26years ago, it's the law of averages. But what of all the nuclear waste created thus far and what of all the nuclear waste to be created in the future. What a legacy we have left for future generations.

The outlook is bleak. So say no to nuclear power!!!

Weather: Heavy drizzle but had been raining.
Low level wind using Wind Alert:
Noss Mayo weather station in Devon

Gusting: to 13 kph
North Atlantic Jet stream: Slow moving air mass of the stream is passing overhead at time off measurement. At 12:00hrs today according to Stormsurfing the edge of a slow moving air mass in the stream past Devon England. Currently in that slow moving part of the stream. http://www.stormsurfing.com/cgi/display_alt.cgi?a=natla_250

This fallout has not come from Europe as the low level wind maps show that the weather is coming from the South West. There are no nuclear reactor south of me only a Naval base called Devonport Dock Yards. There are several decommissioned nuclear submarines in dock. The Jet stream seems to be pushing nicely from the west.

Follow up test on sample.

I conducted a half life study and over three half life steps & the cpm dropped by approximately half every 33.4min.

874.8cpm (all ten minuet timed counts)
1st 462.6cpm (33.4min) 25cpm out from previous count
2nd 240.2cpm (33.4min) 9cpm out
3rd 135.0cpm (33.4min) 14.8cpm out

I believe the slight differences in the exact half of the previous timed count is due to my standard hand held timing using stopwatch and possibly another isotope decaying at slightly longer time (see below). But pretty consistent half life steps and well within the Inspector EXP +/- error margins.

Conclusion: When I first measured this swipe I saw over 1050cpm (30x) this isn't normal nor natural. Also even though Geiger counters are not isotopic detectors in most half life tables 33.4min is the half life of Cesium-138. You make ya own mind up!

Cesium-138 is a beta emitter and this sample was decaying mostly by beta decay, no gamma was detected above background. There was some small alpha decay in this sample, maybe this was from some Radon progeny in the sample namely Bismuth-212 which I believe is my usual natural washout. It has a half-life of 60.5min and decays at a branching ratio of 34% alpha, 64% beta. Bi-212 is daughter of Radon-220. The amount of alpha in this sample was far below 34%. If there was 64% beta decay and the sample decayed by half every 60.5min then we could say 'maybe' this was Radon progeny but in this case it wasn't.

THE FOLLOW UP STUDY.
(You tube doesn't allow enough room for my full write up.)
We in Radiation Watch on Facebook are looking to find out what could be the maximum Radon washout figure. After all it is important to know what's is seemingly natural radiation falling out of the sky to that of isotopes produced inside a nuclear reactors that are nearby and vented either deliberately or after an accident or disaster like in Fukushima Japan.

So the purpose of this half life follow test is to see if this is indeed Radon washout & what was the half life. In almost 12months of my observations the maximum Radon washout I personally have seen based on the half life times is just over 10x from a 1sqm swipe. Generally it is far less.

I conducted three half life steps. The 1st step was under 52.6min. It wasn't until step 2 & 3 where I narrowed down the half life to 41.8mins This matches Tellurium-134 (Te-134) which has a half life of 41.8mins.

In conclusion:
Not a conclusive test this time although it suggested Te-134. A Geiger counter is not an isotopic detector but the one thing we can be certain of is that this swipe did not decay by half at any time frames that match any Radon decay I have established this through three half life steps. Therefore this is not Radon washout in my opinion based on the half life times.

(Not enough room to show all the figures, they are posted on Radiation Watch on Facebook).

RadLevelsEngland 2012-11-16 | To tired to write anything as its now almost midnight.

Could this be naturally occurring radioactive fallout AKA Radon washout (Read info below)

RadLevelsEngland 2012-10-01 | This video was u240+cpm peak (rolling 30sec count)
7x above normal background
0.7uSv/hr - 0.8uSv/hr
10min timed count =183cpm
My normal background 34cpm

Time of video: 12.50hrs
Date: 1st October 2012
Location: South Hams, Devon Devon, England.
Rain swipe off car. 1m2
Geiger counter: Inspector EXP+

Info: heavy rain, then slight drizzle.
Swipe taken approximately 15mins after heavy rain stopped and the 1st timed count 10mins later.

I flick between cpm and uSv/hr for you viewing pleasure. You can't beat a bit of flicking can ya ;-)

THE TEST:
Gamma not detectable above background.

Whilst in between timed counts I calculated the alpha to beta decay ratio. I discovered this to be within a couple % +/- of how Bismuth 212 decays which is 36% alpha / 64%. Bi-212 also has a half life of 60.55 minutes. I was 100% satisfied this sample was a 36%/64% branching decay ration of Bismuth-212 a daughter or progeny of Radon-220 which decays from Thorium-232. So I waited to do another 10min timed count 60.55min later after the first count.

(I took other timed counts during this study but it soon became obvious what the half-life was going to be)

My first 10min timed count was at;
01.10hrs = 183cpm

10 min timed count 60.55min later
02.10:30sec = 91.1cpm

Half of 183cpm would be 91.5cpm. This goes to show accurate the Inspector EXP+ is 0.4cpm is a whisker out hehe. Pretty conclusive on the half-life eh.

Conclusion:
The alpha to beta decay matched the branching ratio of Bi-212. Also the half-life was exactly 60.55min. So I conclude that this swipe was naturally occurring Radon washout.

A Geiger counter is not an isotopic detector but I'm 100% satisfied that this swipe off the car is that of Bismuth-212 based on the data I obtained, albeit through only one half-life step. Going any further and I would be running into background. If the cpm was much high that would have helped.

Well I like most had not really contemplated anything 5x above background to be radon washout. However I needed proof. But this test along with several others I have conducted since January 2012 has shown that it is possible to get above 5x normal background from naturally occurring radiation that washes out of the sky with the precipitation. I just needed a little more proof. This is not to say that all swipes below 10x are Radon washout. Far from it. Some times it can rain and my Geiger counter won't budge meaning it's just background. Whilst other times I hate encountered half lives of varying lengths, see below for some examples.

I personally have never seen it above 10x but in this short video you will see Inspector read 0.844uSv/hr which is approximately 8.5x above my normal background and in CPM the video shows a max of 242cpm which is 7x above background. Off camera I did see the cpm peak much higher, this was before I started filming. Issue with my mobile phone is why this video is short.

One can therefore calculate what the actual cpm would have been if the video was taken immediately and not 15mins later. We know the half-life to be practically 60mins so 15mins in 25% of 1hr. Sticking to cpm if we multiple 242cpm (the peak in the video) by 1.25 we get 302.5cpm which is 8.9x above my background. The same calculation carried out on the 0.844uSv/hr = 1.055uSv/hr which is approximately equal to 320cpm on my Inspector EXP calibrated to Cesium-137.

320cpm is 9.4x above my background. Please remember this was a short video and off camera I saw the cpm around 9x.

So once again this shows how important it is to test your samples. Especially important is to determine as best as we can if the sample is so called Radon wash out.

I hate it when people say stick the sample in a bag and test it tomorrow or in a few days time. These people need to look at a half life table of the natural decay series of Uranium, Radium & Thorium. If I had waited 24hrs this would have all decayed away. Yes stick it in bag but after you have contacted this simple follow us test first.

Rule number 1. Do a timed count if possible. If you are new to follow up studies then as soon as the first timed count has finished start another one either straight away or 10mins later. If the sample is decaying fast then you will see a noticeable drop in the cpm. This will give you a starting point to try and zero in on the actual half life. If no change check it in 1hr then 6 and so on. I have in my experience encountered several different half-lives of around 1 hour or less. A few examples are;
Cesium-138 half life 32.2mins.
Bismuth-213 half life 45.65mins
Iodine-134. half life 52.6mins
Bismuth-214 half life 60.55mins
Tellurium-129 half life 69.6mins
Krypton-87 half life 76.3mins

It is not always possible to narrow down the half life if the sample contains multiple different isotopes which are all decaying at different rates.

25, 50 & 100ml swiped rain water experiment.

RadLevelsEngland 2012-08-21 | 20th August (very early in the morning)

The goal is to see if there is a more accurate way of comparing the measurements of peoples swipes of rain water at least with people with Geiger counters that can measure in Counts Per Minuet CPM to that of the standard one square metre swipe.

Not all swipes are the same. Even if everyone accurately swiped their one square meter of an area there will be different amounts of rain that have fallen in that one area. Sometimes there will be just a few drops while other times there will be a film of water spread all over that area especially if there is a down pour. Meaning someone swiping one area with little water (at least in theory) can not compare the same area swiped with someone who has swiped the same sized area but with lots more rain which may or may not contain radioactive isotopes.

So I would suggest with a little hesitation at this moment that it may be more accurate for people to swipe a predefined amount of rain water if at all possible. But first the theory of scalability needs to be proven. See Below.

This video is just an experiment I am running to see if for example 25ml of swiped rain water with x amounts of counts per minuet CPM would be double the CPM if twice as much swiped rain water was tested. Like wise would 100ml of swiped rain water return 4x as much CPM as the 25ml swipe.

If this experiment is repeatable then one could in theory scale up any amount of rainwater swiped to 1litre and after also multiplying the CPM in proportion one could divided the CPM by 60seconds to get the Bq/Ltr (Becquerels/Litre). That's if my theory is correct.

After all this is just one early test! I could be talking out of my arse haha.

NOTE! I am not a scientist I am human and that is good enough for me lol :-)

45x (1546cpm) 15th August 2012 (4.299μSv/hr)

RadLevelsEngland 2012-08-16 | PLSE READ THE INFO BELOW BEFORE COMMENTING THANK YOU!!!

45x (1546cpm) above normal background radiation.
4.299μSv/hr later in video
Time: 08:20hrs GMT
Date: 15th August 2012
Location: South Hams, South Devon, England.
Geiger counter: Inspector EXP+
My normal background 34-36cpm

Info: Firstly I would like to apologise for not replying to some of you who has sent me kind messages, I really appreciate them so thank you . For those trolls out there, well I do laugh at your messages. You do come out with some bullshit. Some of them are classics. Maybe I make a little book of bullshit one day haha.

I haven't posted anything for a while as some will know. I don't always take videos of my findings, sometimes I just take a photo and post the info on 'Radiation Watch' on Facebook. Another reason for the lack of posts is that since that crazy 7th July (240x video) to 11th August I have only had two fallout events that were 114 & 117cpm (around 3x above background) all the rest were 60-85cpm. I had in that time span measured 15 different days worth of rain swipes and on some occasions 2or 3 in one day. These low readings reading swipes did take many weeks to decay away though. But that's another story. On the 11th August 2012 I had the first big one since 7th July. This was 38x I haven't posted that video on here yet, I may do. Info was posted in 'Radiation Watch' on Facebook instead. And then yesterday 11th August I get more rain and these high readings. I cant explain why most of July & part of August were different from the rest of the year, maybe it was the Olympics lol

Ok, the rain swipe off car. Total rain water squeezed out of two man-sized Kleenex tissues folded 4x was 100ml. I was after either 25, 50 or 100ml of rain water. The apx area swiped to collect 100ml was roughly 4x the size of a normal 1 square meter swipe. I did a regular swipe before this sample and this was around 10x above background. Reason for collecting 100ml is because I am running a little experiment at the moment to see if there are any benefits of swiping a defined amount of rain as opposed to a 1sq meter swipe. It is going to be some time before I have an answer its not something I am actively seeking to do, it is radioactive substances after all I am dealing with.

Later a 10min timed count on this sample which I started after I shot two videos (both parts combined here) came in at 1187cpm 34.9x above normal background. I followed the decay of this sample through four half life steps after I established a half life time of 41.8min. It decayed by half every 41.8min, it was very consistent dropping the cpm by half every 41.8mins. It was on the nail. 41.8min matches up with (Te) Tellurium-134. Obviously I cant identify the isotope with a Geiger counter but the half life time suggest it was this.

Also as I say this may or may not be from Fukushima but else where. The front edge of the jetstream which was moving slowly pushed in from the west so some fallout was possible from this but likewise the low level wind charts show the local weather coming from the south east. Funny but The Flamanville Nuclear Power Plant is located at Flamanville, Manche, France on the Cotentin Peninsula 120miles as the crow flies south east of me across the English channel. Maybe Flamanville nuke was venting its reactors today or perhaps I was getting attacked from both sides lol.

Well that's it. With respect please watch previous videos and/or read the info a complying the videos before asking questions because I take the time to write this so you can take the time to read it hehe

Thank you and stay safe

Peace! x

24.07μSv/hr (240x) from Four swipes & a flood. 1sqm swipe = 2.753μSv/h (27x) 953cpm

RadLevelsEngland 2012-07-07 | PLSE READ THE INFO BELOW BEFORE COMMENTING THANK YOU!!!

24.07μSv/hr (240x yes that's right 240x) above normal background radiation. WTF!!!! See below.

2.753μSv/h (27x) 953cpm using the standardised 1square meter swipe
My normal background 34-35cpm or 0.07 to 0.1μSv/hr
Time: 07:00hrs GMT
Date: 7th July 2012
Location: South Hams, South Devon, England. Rain swipe off car.
Geiger counter: Inspector EXP+

Info: More rain!
I was awoken just as it was getting light by a thunderous noise which was the path outside my house being subjected to a flash floods. That's what happens when the council planners make the great decision to divert the natural course of a stream 17years ago. Anyway after the worst of it and checking on my older neighbours because some of their houses were flooded a little. The rain eased so time for a swipe.

At 05:50hrs I took a swipe from the car, the standard 1square meter. This swipe measured 11x (388cpm)

Later I took my Geiger counter outdoors for some outdoor fun & to take some measurements. I didn't do this video because of some trolls had asked me too (who cares about them). They didn't believe my results in previous videos and had asked me to show the actual swipe off the car to the actual measuring. My measurements are honest & truthful and you either believe them or you do not believe them, your choice I don't care. I know I am not faking anything. I do apologise for the shaky camera work, bit difficult with a large Geiger counter under ones arm pit trying to keep it dry and not drop it nor my mobile phone while I do the swipes. When the camera goes black that is just me putting my mobile phone in my pocket to free up a hand for a few seconds.

This video is dedicated to the world for a wake call to the rising radiation levels and therefore some way get an understanding of radioactive fallout from Fukushima. Also I deticate this to Christina Consolo aka RadChick Radiation Research & Mitigation & Ray Masalas aka Radiation Watch for their great work and all the other members in the groups all around the world.

The reason why I am in sandals is because I don't own Wellington boots haha and my biker boots got soaked earlier. I don't recommend standing in runoff from the hills above after days of rain. My feet and/or my saddles were around 70-80cpm. Not good. Bring on the baking soda.
You will see that just from a spot measurement from the car (not a swipe) the car was 4.5x above background levels (around 140-150cpm). Next I took a 1 squared metered swipe and measured that. The came in at 2.753μSv/h (27x) 953cpm.

After I take the 1st rain swipe I decide to just for fun seeing as I was outdoors (in the field so to speak) to see what the readings would be if I used the same towel and wiped a bit more of the car down. I took three addition swipes after the 1st.

The results are and they get crazier & more extreme with each swipe. And I didn't go over the top with the additional swipes.
1st swipe = 2.753μSv/h (27x) 953cpm
2nd swipe = 5.130μSv/hr (51x)
3rd swipe = 15.17μSv/hr (150x)
4th swipe = 24.07μSv/hr (240x above normal background radiation)

Please note that only with the 2nd, 3rd & 4th swipe did I squeeze out any rain water from the towel. In previous experiments I have ascertained that the amount of liquid that can be squeezed from two man size Kleenex tissues is between 15-20mls of rain water. The 1st swipe the car was very dry and as I filmed you can see it start to rain, Assuming that each squeezed swipe produced 15ml of water that means that the total amount of rain water that produced this staggering 24.07μSv/hr (240x background) was from only 45ml of water. That is absolutely a drop in the ocean and one could quite easily get caught out in the rain and be exposed to much much more that 45mls of water. Your clothes would soak that up very easily.

This 24.07μSv/hr has taken nearly 7 hours to decay back to around normal levels. I could not obtain a half life from this sample as I believe it contained more than one isotope and they were all decaying at there own rates.

I am quite sure if I wiped all of my car down maybe 75-100ml of rain water the levels would be greater still than that of 240x

So I hope this video shows how dangerous and how much radiation from fallout one CAN be exposed to and therefore great precaution should be taken when out in the rain. And please don't forget because of Fuckushima the radiation that it is spreading around the world is not going to stop. So each and every day there will be more and more radioactive isotopes up in the atmosphere than the day before.

Stay out of the rain & peace.

39x above normal background radiation. (3.979μSv/hr)

39x above normal background radiation. (3.979μSv/hr)
1329CPM
My normal background 34-36cpm or 0.07 to 0.1μSv/hr
Time: 03:00hrs GMT
Date: 28h June 2012
Location: South Hams, South Devon, England. Rain swipe off car.
Geiger counter: Inspector EXP+

Info:
After messing around with samples (see previous video) It stated raining lightly again but not for very long. I didn't manage to take the swipe for over 30mins maybe as long as 45mins after it stopped raining.

I really wasn't expecting 39x.
After the video I took the usual 10minuet timed count which came in at 995.2cpm (29x above background)
I followed the decay through 4 half life steps. The 1st 3 steps all showed a half life of 32.8minuiets which on the half life tables is Cesium-138. But due to a mistake by meself I missed the start of the 4th timed count by a couple minuets.
It was a beta emitter but also showed 2x above my background of gamma radiation. That was the highest level of gamma I have measured in a sample so far if my memory serves me well. It peaked up as high as 76cpm in just gamma but averaged 2x (66cpm).

As always I am not saying it was Cs-138 but the half life did point to that.

Weather:
The jet stream was at 03:00hrs was over the southern half of England and more importantly the speed of the air was very slow.

Winds were very light. I couldn't say for certain for the maps I used if the low level winds were coming from France or not. More learning needed.

I mentioned that I could see so lightening in the distance but it was far away up North West of me and was very faint and I heard no thunder claps. This was not a system effecting me.

That's it.
(once again I am sorry for not being able to reply yet I will catch up with comments, thank you for your support and kind words)

Be wise & be safer :-)

This is not a proper test, a discussion for Radiation Watch or any other interested parties

RadLevelsEngland 2012-06-28 | Time 23::20hrs GMT
South Devon England
34cpm is my normal background
Around 10x above background.
Rain had stopped between 30min & 60mins prior to samples taken. Rain only lasted short time.

Also there is a quick test to see if 320cpm is the same as 1uSv/hr (mcSv/hr if u have a Soeks Geiger)

Please note this video is for anyone as they all our but please understand I have only done this video to follow up on an old discussion with some of the members in Radiation Watch that we were having with regards to some troll/agents comments about rain swipes. So this is to very quickly demonstrate a point not to the group but to those hidden little pro nukers out there lurking like a bad smell.

A while back some troll/agents were trying to say that all rain swipes were Radon washout. We proved that this was not to be the case. We do not dismiss the possibility of some radon washout at 2-3x above background maybe and not in all rain. But the trolls/pro nukers did for a while try attempt to say that the higher readings from swipes from cars were because the car was electrostatically charged and therefore was attracting more radon than normal, yeh whatever. They even tried to say it was brake dust picked up from the roads and which spread all over ones car. They failed to realise that some people hadn't even driven their cars for months and the car washed a couple days earlier and people live out in the country so no electrostatic charge and no brake dust from say city pollution. I was one of these people. I didn't drive my car for over a month once. I had a motor bike so didn't use my car but I still measured high levels.

So this very rough video although not very scientific proves that the very same fallout can be collected from other surfaces whether they are electrostaticly charged or not.

SAMPLES: .
All swipes taken with Kleenex Man Size snot rags.
Originally I only meant to take the one swipe off from my car but I just thought well why not for a bit of fun just take some random samples from different surfaces but for the 4th sample I only had a one non used tissue scrunched up in my pocket hence the untidiness of the sample haha

1st is a plastic garden table (area swiped no more than half square meter). This small table had not been driven anywhere in all its life apart from leaving the factory and myself transporting this piece of top quality plastic junk from the shop to my garden lol

2nd I am sorry to say this was taken from a horrid bog standard car... a ROVER (didn't car to look at the model) lol. This was apx 1sq/m from bonnet/hood. This car had not been driven for over 15 hours.

3rd was neighbours car but this swipe was from the windscreen/windshield & was less than 1sq/m. This car not moved for at least 8hours.

4th was a swipe well a wipe here and a wipe there lol, not very scientific I know but this was from my car that had not long before been driven to the shops to purchase some contaminated skimmed milk to go along with my contaminated tea bags. More on that another day. Area less than half of a Sq/m, not to sure it was just random wipes from different places from my car.

Please note less than 24 hours ago I took a swipe from my car where fog had condensed. The tissues were completely clean after a proper 1Sq/m swipe, As you can see in this video all the sample were dirty. But I know that my car was clean and I only drove around the corner and it wasn't raining so all this dirt and strange colour had washed out in the rain.

Thank you.

p.s. Sorry for my delays in replying, I will reply.

1.5hours after 66x video.

RadLevelsEngland 2012-06-21 | PLSE READ THE INFO BELOW BEFORE COMMENTING THANK YOU!!!

After the rain had stopped and after I made the 66x video 1.5hours later I though I would just see what the Rad levels were in my area at street level instead of a rain swipe..

My road is quite flat so I walked to the next couple of roads where it is hilly and therefore there wold be more run off.

My geiger counter sound was off becasue I didnt want to draw attention to myself hehe. Must have looked quite suspicious someone milling around in the road and gutter in the middle of the night and its well quiet where I live.

You will see a counts per minuet CPM from between 90-145apx. I have checked this area many times before and the road materials are not radiaoctive above 35-40cpm.

1.5 hours have passed since the 66x video. As I explained in that video I couldnt nail the half life but it was around 40-45mins. Normally I can get it to the second. Anyway assuming it was say 45mins that mean 90min (1.5hrs) worth of half live time had passed since I went out in to the street. Therefore in theroy the Rad levels in this video could have been as high as 360cpm - 580cpm. I have no proof of this but I believe this to be the case but I was not going to go out in the rain let alone get my geiger wet.

I have some radioactive items at home that peak at 120-135cpm and in μSv/hr that is about 0.4μSv/hr which is 4x background. This is confirmed because my normal background is 0.07μSv/hr to 0.1μSv/hr. in cpm my normal background is 34-36cpm. This means that the highest level in this short video is 4x above backgound. But remember it could have been between 10x to 17x above background if I was out in the rain at its peak, maybe. We will never know now but science is science and the numbers are the numbers.

Please remember that just because on area is getting fallout does not mean every area is getting fallout out. it is patchy

Thats it!

Stay safe, stay out of the rain and get informed and dont believe in the disinformation. I dont care for them and there comments are laughable so dont get approved.

66x above normal background radiation. (6.662μSv/hr)
My normal background 34-36cpm or 0.07 to 0.1μSv/hr
(For Soeks Geiger counters μSv/h = mcSv/hr)
Time: 23:30hrs GMT
Date: 20th June 2012
Location: South Devon, England. Rain swipe off car.
Geiger counter: Inspector EXP+

Brief info: It started raining at around 7pm. I did not have time to take a sample as I was going out. On return it has been hacking it down with rain. By the time I took swipe the rain had chilled, it was now just a sprinkle.

I did take a follow up sample as I stated in video and that came in at 55x above background. This was to expected as the rain had stopped by then.

Much later I took (over 1.5hrs later), Mr Geiger & Mr Muller for a trip down the road to check out the rads (radiation levels) in the street and gutter. I live on the flat and wanted to find a slight hill so there was run off.

As for half live tests. Apart from nearly not trying as It was so late and so tired, but because it was a big radiological event I dug deep. However this time I could not get what I would consider reliable numbers. This suggested there was many isotopes all deaying at different rates in the sample and it not really settle down. Don't get me wrong the half lives fell between a well defined band of isotopes but the numbers were not on the nail to imply an isotope.

This not happen to many times. But to be honest I was mentally drained by the whole affair and having to deacon my cat I not really care. Sometimes you just need to took at the numbers on the Geiger and say that's ok or Fuck!!! . And not care about what it could be etc.

All that matters my friend are that after a good splashing of rail for man days but without any fallout, well one tiny little radon event but that was 1.5x above b/g everything has been cool. The Jet stream had been passing directly overhead and the centre mass or the fastest air flow was right overhead. One does not get much fall out then.

As from 18-00hrs 20th June to 00:00hr 21st June the slowest moving air mass had passed directly over south of England and true to form the slow moving air up in the stratosphere in the Jet stream allows more easily for these heavy elements to be washed out. There is more complexity to it than that but in general its a great indicator. So please watch the Jet stream weather maps.

As for comments. I am very sorry if it takes some time to reply etc. So if you post please be aware I may not reply for sometime. If you ask something that has already been discussed give yourself a big slap for not reading the info contained in the video. If you want to say you haven't had any fallout in your country, cough... troll then I am happy for you. I will not reply to those simply because I don't post videos when I don't get fallout. Makes sense that yes!

Trolls/agents I can stop you a mile away. So I wont be replying. Oh and did I say all comments are pending. If you are honest and genuine then please please reply and I will get back to you and approve your comments as soon as I can. Most of your comments and the subscriptions are well appreciated.

I have had comments that say things like that "You are obviously getting some radiation but seems safe, I live in Vancouver and I have not seen any high readings but I don't own a Geiger counter.....err ok dude, good luck lol, Were you paid just one dollar for that! Do you think I replied to that ? NO!

With respect I know how to measure and also my glass plate is not radioactive. All the usual scientific protocols have been followed to acquire good data. If you not agree or dislike or not trust my videos then cya. Simple. I am not going to take a mega expensive piece of radiation measuring equipment out into the rain to get damaged. If you not believe that I have integrity then that's your problem so cya. I don't care.

This is purely about recording radiation fallout in my area for example and to share that which my country and the world.

A very simple concept. No agenda just what it is. and where possible I try and follow up with more tests but its not always practical.

Last thing my friends, my videos are just a small percentage of the amount of sampling I do. Sometimes I video whilst others I just photograph. I do try record almost all data in my log book. So if you not see a video from me for say a month I can promise you that during that my absence I would have generally had several fallout events.

This rain was mostly beta with some small gamma decay. This would happily pass through any clothing and into your body and potentially damage your DNA.

Be wise & be safer :-)

HAHA!!!! The BBC actually show the jet stream for once for Thursday 14th weather.

RadLevelsEngland 2012-06-12 | This is to my knowledge the first time they the BBC using met office data have shown the jet stream I stand corrected. Shame that they not mention that the jet stream also brings radioactive material from Fukushima.guess they forget that bit :-)

It's been almost 6 hours since my previous upload (45x....). It's almost stopped raining thank god.

BELOW IS THE SAME INFO RELATING TO THE 45X VIDEO 7TH JUNE 2012 AND THIS ONE.

It has been raining on and off quite hard for now over 24hrs. 24hrs ago the rain was at 50cpm. A few hours later 55cpm. At some point last night the levels suddenly increased. At what time I don't know.

There is no follow up on this sample. It is what it is. Please look at my other videos to see half life studies that have been carried out on previous samples. Please do not ask if it is alpha beta or gamma. Just watch the video and take it at face value.

It is not always practical to do follow up studies but at the end of the day who gives a shit. It is what it is. I've photographed, filmed and done more half life studies on these type of samples than most other people have.

45x above normal background radiation (1600cpm 4.5μSv/hr) 7th June 2012

RadLevelsEngland 2012-06-07 | READ THE INFO BEFORE COMMENTING PLEASE!!!
45x above normal background radiation.
My normal background 34cpm
Time: 06:10hrs GMT
Date: 7th June 2012
Location: South Devon, England. Rain swipe off car.
Geiger counter: Inspector EXP+

It has been raining on and off quite hard for 24hrs. 24hrs ago the rain was at 50cpm. A few hours later 55cpm. At some point in the last few hours the levels suddenly increased. At what time I don't know.

There is no follow up on this sample. It is what it is. Please look at my other videos to see half life studies that have been carried out on previous samples. Please do not ask if it is alpha beta or gamma. Just watch the video and take it at face value.

It is not always practical to do follow up studies but at the end of the day who gives a shit. It is what it is. I've photographed, filmed and done more half life studies on these type of samples than most other people have.

Nuked on bike part3 (25x above normal background radiation. 858cpm from swipe off car)

RadLevelsEngland 2012-06-03 | This was a rain swipe from my car about 1hr 10mis after part 1.

Read info in part 1/2.

Nuked on bike part 1 (please read info below before asking questions)

RadLevelsEngland 2012-06-03 | Nuked on bike part 1(please read info below before asking questions)

6-7x above normal background radiation.
34-37cpm (counts per minuet) is my normal background.
Time: 7.00p.m. (2nd June)
Location: 45-50min motor bike ride in full on rain from Torquay, South Devon, England to my home 10miles or so from Plymouth.
Geiger counter: Inspector Exp+

Info: I was caught out in major rain storm on motorbike for 45-50mins 28miles. I got soaked to the skin. I was returning home from Torquay Devon England. I had no option, I had to get home. I didn't have my geiger counter with me (don't take it on the bike for obvious reasons) so I just imagined the rain wasn't hot and got home as fast as I could but there was so much traffic and everyone was driving so slowly because it was raining so hard. Even Police were slowing traffic down on A38 to 50 or so mph (70mph speed limit). Did I go slightly faster than 70mph when I had chance so I could get home quicker.....of course not, I totally obeyed the speed limit ;-)

I measured my wet leathers with my Geiger about 30minuets after I had got out of them and found they were 6-7xbackground. Remember that this isn't a 1squared metered swipe from say a car, it is a direct measurement my motorcycle leather jacket's shoulder area. My gloves, boots, helmet and even my visor were all hot (radioactive).

Approximately 1 hour and 10 minuets after this video was taken I took a standard 1squared metered swipe from my car and recorded just over 1000cpm (counts per minuet). But I only have photograph of 845cpm (have video too). That's 25 times above background radiation. Please note the difference in surface area measured on ,my leather jacket to that of a 1square metered swipe from a car roof. It is quite a difference. Obviously the levels would be lower on the direct measurement.

For those who don't know a 1squared metered swipe from a surface is a basic standard that has been adopted so reasonable comparisons can be made between citizen scientists.

Apart from my crash helmet & wicked boots albeit summer boots that kept hoofs dry the rest of my body was dripping wet. I was in this rain for over 45minuets.

Stay out of the rain and avoid all sea food from the Pacific Ocean! Apart from all of the above please try and be happy so you can live long and prosper and don't forget to wake your friends and family up if they are not aware of the most important event in human history, Fukushima. Tell them about Fukushima and how it has changed the world forever.

Get active and spread the word!

Peace to you and all our fellow creatures on our only home, mother Earth xXx

84x background 8.548μSv/hr (2865cpm) ALERT

RadLevelsEngland 2012-04-30 | 30th April 2012
Time: 03:30hrs GMT
Location; South West of England
Conditions: raining and windy
Geiger Counter: Inspector EXP +.

Just briefly, I originally went outside to get a further rain swipe to see if the earlier levels from 8x normal had reduced so it was safe for my lovely cat to go out. They hadn't reduced. In fact things went from bad to worse quickly.

I took 4 samples over the course of the period described. The first was to do just simply see if levels from 8x background had dropped off from earlier in day. The radioactivity in the rain swipes from 1squared meter from my car and the neighbour's cars showed levels were increasing rapidly.

The fallout in this rain had increased from apx 20x (Sample a), to 40x (sample b) to the then crazy levels of 84x background when I took (sample C) very quicky, only a few hours.

(Sample d) was down to 45x by this time. But I had had enough of being exposed. I was fully masked up with a 3M FFP3 ventilator and gloved up and changed all clothing upon returning in doors

These samples were taken from around 2am to about 4am 30th April 30th 2012. There is no need for me to upload all the videos so here is the most radioactive of them all Sample C .

I have done follow up studies but because I have been up all night dealing with this I will look at the numbers later but I can say that as this radioactivity did decay very fast and I believed to be mixed in isotopic concentrations. However as time went and very short lived half lives decayed a pattern started to emerge.

For starters all the sample had some small amounts of alpha particles. But this was reducing and soon left only 100% beta particles. This was stable for several halve live steps and each step was around 33.2min which happens to be Caesium 138. This stood out like a snore thumb. In my mind this was what I detected. No radon progeny was detected. This was the first time I had come across this particular half life albeit via numbers and charts.

Hey I had four samples to play with all sampled at different times and decaying at different rates but ultimately only one thing stood out.

There is a lot more to just this potential Caesium and the half life but 84x the normal background levels, this is crazy!!!!

Now even the fools who I don't need to name should even get involved because you are so last year. Bye!!!.

I'm tired and I will look at the numbers when rested.

Please avoid all rain especially in the South West of England today.
Whatever it is was and wherever it came from it was not safe. An equivalent annual does of this exposure (If one was exposed 24/7/365 to this same level of 84x background radiation just from external exposure would be over 75mSv/yr. That is almost 4x the maximum allowed of 20mSv/yr by an European Nuclear worker. Bear in mind if they exceed that does of 20mSv/yr they can not work for the rest of that year.

If you inhaled or indigested this you are in big trouble.

8.5x Background (295cpm or 0.958μSv/hr )

RadLevelsEngland 2012-04-29 | 29th April 2012
Time: 06:50hrs GMT
Location; South West of England
Conditions: evil, very wind and raining
Geiger Counter: Inspector EXP +.

There will be no follow up as have no time. But like a great man said to me recently, "all I care about is that 10cpm is a lot better than a sreaming 1000cpm". hehe and who would argue with that..

Over the last week since we have had our bad weather here in England I have had fallout and no falllout. I have even deteted fallout which was just 100% bete and had a half life of 52.5mins suggesting Iodine 134 but it is only an indercation of courese. But no time to add videos. Anyway I thought I would this one. Also I promise I will never say I am at radiation central testing station haha, WTF.

Peace
