Radiation in New Zealand


David MacArthur of Christchurch has been regularly measuring radiation levels in Christchurch, and publishes this information HERE

It has to be pointed out that New Zealand does NOT have any nuclear power or other endogenous souce of nuclear radiation, so what the source of a radiation spike of this nature is open to discussion.

Radiation spikes in Christchurch, NZ -
0.52 mcsv/h

  1. In Auckland my readings have varied from as low as .06msv/hr to .011ms/hr, tracking around the .09msv/hr.
    This level of 'variance' is a little unusual for my area but not as yet statistically significant but will remain alert. Note lots of solar activity lately coinciding with the full moon. I like to here ant other more informed opinion.
