Northern
California Beach Reading 500 CPM on 12/20/2013 - Fukushima Radiation
Is Here!
23
December, 2013
The
above video was taken today with an Inspector Plus Geiger counter by
'Dave', giving readings on a Northern California beach due West of
San Mateo. The beach is south of Princeton Harbor which in turn is
just south of Pillar Point where 'Mavericks' big surf comes in. The
best description is the San Mateo Coast. Just south again from
Princeton Harbor begins the City of Half Moon Bay.
As
you will see, the normal background radiation above the small bluff
at this beach is about 30 CPM (Counts Per Minute). The video is
self-explanatory and we are greatly indebted to Dave for making it
and sending it in. Today's readings on the beach were taken standing
up…with the Inspector about 5 feet off the ground.
Last
Friday, three days ago on 12-20, Dave went to the same beach but with
a plastic bag for his Inspector. He placed it down about 2 inches
above the sand and got radioactive readings up to 17 TIMES OVER
BACKGROUND… about 500
CPM. Source: http://rense.com/general96/radiationoncabch.html
This
is not the first report of radiation hitting the coast of
California.. Enviroreporter filed a report that showed radiation
possibly hitting the coast as early as 2012.
The
Turner Radio Network also revealed that the Canadian government knew
Fukushima radiation was reaching the west coast, but did not tell
anyone.
"December
23, 2013 -- (TRN http://www.TurnerRadioNetwork.com ) -- An official
government report by Fisheries and Oceans Canada proves that
radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, is hitting
the U.S. and Canadian coasts RIGHT NOW. It began striking southwest
Alaska in 2012 and arrived at Vancouver Island, BC, six months ago
but Fisheries and Oceans Canada did NOT reveal this despite knowing
the radiation gets worse by the day. They continued to keep silent
even after their own official report proved these facts in October,
2013. We have the official report; now you do too."
We
will update our AGR report here with the latest on this radiation
reading and any confirmations, when they come in. More expensive
equipment can test to see what this radiation is coming from, whether
it is 'natural' or not, and break it down into specific radioactive
elements. It is too early to panic, but certainly this is something
that needs to be investigated.
We
don't know about you, but this amount of radiation is worrying, and
we are not going to the beach without a radiation detector anymore.
With this kind of radiation reading, it pays NOT take your family
(especially kids) to the beach, and to decontaminate if you do decide
to go to the beach. Anything over 100 CPM is worrying and something
you do not want to spend more time in than absolutely necessary.
400
CPM is a level achieved in jet flights at high altitudes, but that is
from cosmic rays that go right through you and leave no trace. You
also cannot ingest this radiation and get it 'stuck' inside of you,
where it can mutate cells and initiate cancer.
500
CPM from a manmade radioactive element that is either inhaled as a
hot particle or held next to your body is an entirely different
thing, especially if it is plutonium, uranium or other toxic heavy
metal. This is a level that people should stay far away from,
and wear protective gear if they do go there to test it; mask,
gloves, rubber boots, Tyvek suit, etc... For more information, click

In
other words, do not get this sand on your body, or on your clothing.
Take off your shoes outside the car and put them in a plastic bag
before putting them in the car. Try not to get any sand in or on you
or in or on your vehicle.
Wash
your clothing that you used to go to the beach separately from
everything else, and rinse the machine in between it and the next
load. Take a shower and wash the hair several times to wash off any
hot particles, as much as possible.
Until
we know more, treat the sand at the very least at this beach as a
radioactively contaminated 'hot spot' area, until you know for sure
that it is not, just to be safe. This may be just one small local
area that is radioactively 'hot', or it may be the whole coastline
from Alaska to Mexico.. No one knows at this point, because no one
has tested anywhere else on the beach yet, to our knowledge.
We
encourage people to test the beach for radiation on the west coast,
everywhere from Alaska to Mexic. Take a video of your test, and post
videos of your testing result on Youtube, with creative commons
license, so they can go viral quickly.
Until
you know more, keep the dogs at home and off the beach.. Critters are
radiation sponges with their fur.. Keep it safe out there.. :)
If
you do go to a beach that tests 'hot' like this, test your shoes,
clothing and hair before entering your house or you may radioactively
contaminate your car, your home and your whole family just from going
to the beach. To be safe, just act as if you just got contaminated
with radiation and dispose of everything after coming out of a 'hot'
zone like this.
The
reason we are saying all of this is that there was no rain in this
area for the week before this test, so the odds are way against this
being a radon washout. Plus, the road and bluffs did not test hot
either. Natural uranium/thorium sand is also way against the odds,
but you never know.. maybe there is a hot pocket of natural
uranium/thorium sand here that has never been discovered before.
Maybe someone broke a radium dial watch there. Who knows?
The
key to getting more information is to collect the sand in a sealed
container, and then send it to someone who has more sophisticated
equipment. We can help with this process, if you like. Contact us at

Might also be from the nuke waste dumping at the Farallon islands.
