TBS Cam View Doesn't Look So Good (Futaba time stamp of 5:08 Am)



Look at unit 1
 

Netc is still showing elevated levels

  1. How does netc define "elevated"? Does this mean outside of historical variability? Can you tell us if this is higher than normal variability?

  2. GOOD question. Netc averages the monitoring results for each station and designates elevated levels by results outside each station's mean. Highly elevated results are generated in relation to their deviation upwards from the mean:
    FROM NETC: Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center - Netc.com is an Early Warning Radiation System that takes data from private radiation monitoring stations and EPA network and creates a RBL ( Radiation Background Level ) for each 3000+ stations everyday.

    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. When RBL is above the radiation background range and other requirements are met, an Radcon-5 Alert will be issue and Email/Text messages are sent. If the Radcon-1 is Green/Yellow, the RBL (Radiation Background Level) is decreasing or staying the same level, like in Japan where most of the RBL are Green/Yellow.
