How Much Radiation Are You Living With Currently? What's The Dose?

The AQMD appears to be the site to go to for updates officially on radiation levels in CA and I assume each state has something similar.

Radiation Network looks a little archaic and not so easy to glean info from other than a map with points of monitoring and colors which is better than nothing. There's global maps available there as well but they also seem interested in selling their software. Hey, I get it.. why not. They're claiming to be on the job with readings for those who want to keep track now and for the foreseeable future as we're not speaking about something that blows over, its cumulative and the earth's atmosphere is contained, it's not like there's some other overflow space for bad stuff, it goes round and round and this is why you need to start dosing up now to build up protection for the long haul.

In California there's this guy who didn't trust either and has his own geiger counter set to show anyone looking. http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/california-radiation-levels/index.htm  
Cali is okay at the moment, okay being a subjective term.

Well I thought I'd try and see if I could find a source for current levels in various locations and thought the Nuclear Society might be a good place but then it occured to me they are an industry and money is the name of the game in industry so perhaps not so trustworthy a source. More to come as I find it but here's their site and verbiage.

Radiation Dose Chart


We live in a radioactive world - humans always have. Radiation is part of our natural environment. We are exposed to radiation from materials in the earth itself, from naturally occurring radon in the air, from outer space, and from inside our own bodies (as a result of the food and water we consume). This radiation is measured in units called millirems (mrems).

The average dose per person from all sources is about 620 mrems per year. It is not, however, uncommon for any of us to receive less or more than that in a given year (largely due to medical procedures we may undergo). International Standards allow exposure to as much as 5,000 mrems a year for those who work with and around radioactive material.

I found a resource that may be a good place to start bombarding just to let them know we aren't placated by the talking heads any longer and want to have information and access to this store of iodine.
