(pt1) Radioactivity in rain 20 000cpm / sq. meter Toronto Canada!!!

Hi all!
This is part 1 of my measurements of the radioactivity falling on the north of GTA (Greater Toronto Area), Canada on August 14th 2011 at 17h55.
Aprox. 1 square meter of smooth surface wiped (glass, solar panels).
Measured with a Eberline HP-260 Pancake Probe and with a Eberline E-140 counter. (Sorry for the crappy video quality, I was using my cell phone camera, I guess it's alright for a first upload...)
I measured 20 000 cpm per square meter of wipe today!!! This is the all time record since I have been taking measurements since March 14th 2011 . Previous record was 10 000cpm (counts per minute).
One panel I always keep clean, but the other panels collected quite a bit of dirt which seems to increase the radioactivity collection ability. The panels were not radioactive before it rained.

The decay rate is typically 33min - 45minutes. This matches Radon decay daughter products being selectively washed out of the atmosphere, (hence the variable decay rate.)

Where is it from? Is it normal? Is it from Fukushima? Is the NWO spiking the clouds with radioactive isotopes for weather modification? Dunno. I all know, is we get cooked virtually every time it rains or snows. The levels are increasing. In the beginning the levels were roughly doubling every 2 weeks. Since the start of the summer the levels stabilized to 3500-5000 cpm per sq. meter every time it rained. But today, yikes! 20 000cpm!

Luckily the decay rate is short and I never detect any residual radiation in the wipes after a day or so. That's what is saving us from being cooked well done.

I've noticed that the worse the storm, the more extreme the weather, the higher the counts, leading me to think that this is done on purpose:

From the reasearch I did, Radon is a heavy gas that is 8 times as heavy as air, so it hugs the ground, aprox. 100 meters or less is where it tends to collect. So if this is ground Radon why does the levels increase if it rains all day?
Wouldn't it wash out of the air after 15 minutes or so and then the levels should drop?
(My area is not known for Radon collecting in basements).

I matched the highest counts with days where the storm clouds were the tallest in the troposphere. This is much too high for Radon to collect.
Is it being pumped there on purpose? Would Radon daughters charge up and seed rain and snowflakes? Dunno?

Is it coming from space? Radon has a very short half life of 8 days, I don't think it would be floating around in space and stay radioactive for billions of years waiting for the earth's gravity to pick it up...

Could it be traveling from Fukushima via the jet stream? It doesn't make sense, as the Radon gas is 8 times as heavy as air.
Could it be traveling from Fukushima via ground winds? Maybe?
Could it be Radon coming from the tailings from the Uranium mines and washing out by the rain? At these levels? Yikes we need to shut down all the mines and cover up the tailings quick!

Has anyone any insight on this? I know what I'm measuring it's real, it's no trick and the radioactivity falling in my area is real... The question is where is it from?

Thanks for your time!

20,000 counts/sq. m is equivalent to how many sieverts?

@SimperingSimpleton

I should have put the conversion of cpm to more standard units in my video as it would make comparing apples with apples much easier. I hope I get this right:

20000 cpm reads (0.175mR/h x 100)=17.5mR/h which =0.17mSv/h. This unit was calibrated for Cesium 137 (I think?) a while back before I owned it. So it hasn't been recently calibrated, as the cost of calibrating the unit to a known source would cost more than what the unit is probably worth. That's why I quoted CPM.

Yes, please do. Let's do what our governments are paid to do and are refusing to do. (Or just not telling us...)

They work for us, they are our employees, we shouldn't have to do their jobs, but what other choice do we have?

Let me know what you get in "La Belle Province" for a reading. Remember wipe approximately 1 meter of smooth area. A car hood is just about right. Heck do the who car while you're at it!.

were all screwed! i Live in Quebec im gona get the SOEKS-01 Ecotester Gieger in few days and post some readings too

Opps! replied to the wrong guy!

are we fucked?

@electrosyl

You can buy sealed radiation sources that have been calibrated to +/- 20% of the labelled value. No license required. (I'm presently searching for a source that has a smaller range of uncertainty.)

@electrosyl If you want to drive a car, you have to have a license. If you want to fly a plane, you have to have a set of licenses--again, to prove competence. If you want to be a doctor, you need a license. Can anyone see what an insane irony it is that the most dangerous thing on the planet gets such an easy pass? There is nothing more dangerous than radionuclides let loose over the planet.

Jct: Too bad Canadians didn't take me seriously during my run for Prime Minister of Canada during the last election campaign when my videos advised Canadians to take cover. Now lots of those who laughed at me are going to die! Har har har. Like my first video said: Vote the TV Parties and you deserve to die. Google for Turmel's Dream Team videos.

@electrosyl Really great report from the source, friend. You need a hearty pat on the back (or lots of money) for your work. You seem knowledgeable, but don't forget, you are there baking now, just like everyone else there.

Thorium is radioactive and the huge clouds you may see on the weather maps are made of aluminum, cyrrus never show. Check patent 5003186

[pacinox2]

@pacinox2 I will sure do that. Will let you know what I get!
