Conversion chart for CPM to mSv/h is here:

http://www.mcgill.ca/ehs/radiation/basics/meter/


This measurement was made on June 4, 2011 at approx. 300pm CST. It indicates "elevated mid level" radiation levels. Alert level is considered anything over 100CPM by the radiation network ...

http://www.radiationnetwork.com


First background measurement, taken over the course of 10 minutes was 54.4 CPM.




*************

statistics:

Total 10 minute count = 544 = 54.4 CPM

Location: Salina, Kansas

Coordinates : 38 52 40 N , 97 36 30 W

Elevation : 1215 feet

Measurement taken: ten mintue long CPM measurements using the "inspector alert" nuclear radiation monitor (geiger counter)

from the inspector alert geiger counter manual:

"CPM (or CPS) and total counts are the most direct methods of measurement; mR/hr (or uSv/hr) is calculated using a conversion factor optimized for Cesium-137, so this mode is less accurate for other radionuclides, unless you have calibrated the "geiger counter" for a specific radionuclide using an appropriate source. It is more appropriate to measure alpha and beta activity using CPM than using mR/hr. Conversion for alpha and beta emitters is calcuated differently, and the "geiger counters" reading in mR/hr may not be accurate."

  • Dutch, I didn't realize how many people out there really don't like you! I accidentally stumbled on a channel that seems to be dedicated to running down your work and your personal reputation. Must have a lot of time on their hands!!! Funny, when I find something I don't like, I just don't watch -- rather than spending hours on end creating hate videos. Keep up the good work and ignore those other idiots. They seem jealous.

  • That is right Kansas.Fukushima radiation fallout has damaged The bread basket of America in ways we may never fully understand.I knew enough to keep my family out of jet stream fallout rain in Ness County Kansas this past spring 2011.Now i read about Texas drought,Parts of Kansas in drought.Russia had failed crops.Chemtrailing,HAARP, cell phone cancer towers are also in deadly mix.EARTH=HEART.Same letters.Please do what Japans Zen Holy men are doing and plant Sunflowers.They soak up radiation.

  • have you done arizona yet?

  • @walklikeacat1 Why panic people when there is nothing anybody could do to protect themselves? I agree it is a bad situation for Japan, but we are safe here, radiation dissipates rapidly in rain. We don't see any "Elites" or politicians walking around with masks or radiation suits do we?

  • @walklikeacat1 I agree with all of that. Radiation is all a part of nature, we get it from the sun among other ways. What I am saying is that Fukushima has nothing to do with no more than Chernobyl or Three Mile Island. This is all fear mongering and he is taking advantage of it by using donations to fund road trips, if it was dangerous, he wouldn't be going on these" test reading adventures"....these readings would have been the same even if not for the Fukushima incident.end of story.

  • @walklikeacat1 what makes you think it is hurting you?

  • Alright!! A Facebook page, now it will be simpler to share info!

  • What is the purpose for all of this? You people need to get off of this stupid "we are gonna get nuked" mentality. This guy uses donations to go on road trips at your expense. Exactly how is this gonna help you any by knowing exactly what the readings are? Fukushima will have NO effect on any of us. This is just plain ignorant

  • Dutchsinse needs a group on facebook

  • Hey dutch if you go to Denver go to Estes Park It takes you into Rocky Mountain National Park It's absolutley beautiful be sure to drive trail ridge later bro
