In all seriousness, does anyone have a recommendation for an accurate, reliable, affordable Geiger Counter?
Geiger Counter will do exactly what for you?
“1. There is money being spent for many frivolous activities, yet three is no monitoring for radiation on the West Coast?
2. The EPA is monitoring puddles on people’s private property, yet there is no monitoring of radiation on the West Coast!”
How do you know there is no monitoring?
Do you know why they use water to cool nuclear reactors ?
How much ya’ wanna spend?
This might be more of what you would like to have...

It is good for stand alone conditions and for tracking personal dose.
In the realm of things to worry over, this ranks around dragons and aliens.
I highly doubt the lo levels of radiation that “arrives” will be of any consequence due to dissipation. However, if you’re worried, don’t go to the beach and if you do, stay out of the water.
One thing you won’t be able to avoid is any radiation that has been swept up into the atmosphere and precipitates down onto you. However, that has been and issue since the radiation spread into the Pacific long ago.
At our location, odds are you’d find nothing more than normal background radiation levels if you have a Geiger Counter, but I suppose I could be wrong.
Maybe no federal agency samples seawater but lots of private companies, universities (e.g. University of Washington) and even national laboratories partially funded by the federal government (e.g. PNNL) do from time to time. Certainly they'll be out there in the coming months.
Fukushima radiation is an issue to be sure.
But compared to all the radiation we unleashed in the 40’s,50’s and 60’s I wonder if its not just “more of the same”
The above often gets way more detailed than I need/want but it sure does track this issue without letting up.
It will be so diluted by the time it gets here it won't be 10% of having an X-ray.
Don’t need a geiger counter. If it’s preceded by a squad of giant cephalopods (squid) you can bet it is imminent...
I am curious by nature and always wanted one. Its sort of a hobby. Oh btw you don't have to wait till next month. The videos regarding some beaches in CA seem to be accurate. Something is here. The source is unclear insomuch as there is a nuclear waste the dump south of the Farralone Islands.
I’m at over 9,000 feet on the Rockies and probably get much more natural radiation than you’ll get there.
The key phrase is “very low levels”. I was sort of mildly concerned about this since I live in Oregon, and read some of the sky is falling articles that are out there about it. I asked my cousin and my number 2 son about what they are hearing. Cousin is a former Navy Nuke and works in the industry. Son is a current Navy Nuke training on a reactor in New York. Neither of them are particularly concerned about the levels of radiation we are likely to see.
Gov Brown will see that the legislature bans it from reaching the shore.
Yep, this is a conservative site, but note how quickly so many call for government action at such a time as this. Gonna have to go looking for nuclear regulation in the Constitution.
This inane Fukishima radiation panic amuses me to no end. There is about 352,670,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of water in the world’s oceans. Let’s conservatively just take the water attributed to the Pacific ocean. That is 187,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons. About 300,000 tons, or 72,000,000 gallons, of contaminated water (most of it very low level radioactive) were released by Fukushima. If you do the math, that is one part in 2.6 billion. In reality, it is much much smaller than that, because only a tiny amount of radioactive particles were in that water.
Forget about the Geiger counter. What you need is iodoral. http://www.amazon.com/Iodoral-Potency-Potassium-Supplement-Tablets/dp/B000WG3FU4
