The new normal background radiation in California and along the West Coast are at levels so high that radiation charts describe the numbers as "Real Risk of cancer if exposed for a year."
Radiation levels across the United States are high and in some places listed as rising and elevated, but the note at the bottom of the Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center is what makes these RADCON1, 2, 3 and 4's, so concerning, and for those that do not understand how the site works, they can look at it and believe their background levels are completely safe.
NORM ( Natural Occurring Radioactive Material ) radiation background level has been simplified in name only to RBL ( Radiation Background Level ). The same calculations are still used. Radcon-1 will be the middle of RBL ( Radiation Background Level ) range and it will be compared to the Current Radiation at that monitoring station. The increase change between middle of RBL and the Current Radiation will set the Radcon levels 2 for small increase, 3 for higher increase, and 4 for the top of the range over a three month time frame.
In other words, if the levels are higher than normal, even dangerously so, for three months, then that becomes the new normal and shows a little green icon which makes it appear as if everything is just fine.
As I show in the video below, when you click those little green icons, the actual numbers come up and are 5, 6 and up 10 times the safety level which is 25-30 CPMS as the chart below shows.
Look at the chart, remember the numbers and then watch the video, go to the site, find your state and look at the numbers and NOT the color of the icon or RADCON level.
By the time West Coast residents understand what their new norm is it will be too late.
