Gamma Radiation Report: YRTW SOL No 5 and 6
“In a short time a dose of 1 Sv causes acute radiation sickness, and a dose of 10 Sv is fatal.” Short and to the point, the Sievert measurement informs all residents of imminent danger. Very democratic, that.
Gamma Radiation Report: YRTW SOL No 5 and 6
Good Day! This is “Your Radiation This Week ” for the past 2 weeks. These are the recorded total Gamma Radiation and Sievert highs that affected people around the United States.
YRTW SOL is published every two weeks on Saturday. The next publication dates are March 11, 2017 and March 25, 2017.
Changes
RadNet, a Directorate of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) added a radiation measurement capability to the list recently. Twenty-four (24) cities are now reporting radiation levels in Sieverts and CPM. Same Radiation, different measurements. The Sievert is widely used in other countries.
Mar 23, 2011 – Sievert(Sv), unit of radiation absorption in the International System of Units (SI). The sievert takes into account the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of ionizing radiation, since each form of such radiation—e.g., X-rays, gamma rays, neutrons—has a slightly different effect on living tissue.”
” … In a short time a dose of 1 Sv causes acute radiation sickness, and a dose of 10 Sv is fatal.” Short and to the point, the Sievert measurement is meant to inform all residents of imminent danger.
YRTW SOL will always report Sieverts when available in the future in the States. In addition, Japan and the European Union report radiation measurements in Sieverts.
You are encouraged to compare Sievert measurements with the rest of the world. The United States is a very radioactive country. Rad sources are always nuclear reactors and nuke weapons. The Counts per Minute (CPM) reporting continues.

Count – 81 Cities
…ALERT: The Readings below are in CPM, NOT Sieverts
They are Very Different. It’s a matter of maiming, life and death; the usual stuff in the world of Rad; the only question is “What’s the magic cumulative number that kills or disables you.”
Listed in Counts per Minute, a Count is one Radioactive Decay Registered by the Instrument. CPM is also used by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency,) to measure ionizing, deadly radiation.
Still, all reporting cities are above normal. The reporting Radioactive Cities are a few of the radioactive cities in the States. For 2017 YRTW SOL will list some America’s cities Total Gamma Radiation. Take all necessary precautions.
