New Signs of Radioactive Death

West coast residents are being warned to stay inside as record levels of radiation from the Japanese nuclear disaster continues to rage unabated. Tests for high levels of Iodine-131 have reached above EPA standards now in several US states and not just on the West Coast. Results in Pennsylvania and New Jersey have been way above normal. When your told to avoid rain you know things are bad.

At least we're not Japan. Temperatures at reactor 4 are off the charts and many feel a total meltdown is highly likely. As the incident is now almost on par with Chernobyl, a full meltdown may surpass it. The only saving grace they've had is that a radioactive cloud of death hasn't risen from the damaged core. But that could happen at any time and if you thought the radiation was bad then, you ain't see nothing yet.

Check out these statistics:
Little Rock milk radiation – 3 times the EPA Maximum
Radiation in Philly Drinking Water 73% of federal drinking water standards.

Los Angeles milk radiation was above federal drinking water standards.
Radiation found in Phoenix milk was almost at the federal drinking water standard.
Radioactive Iodine in Boise Idaho rainwater was 130 times above Federal Drinking Water standards.
Radioactive Caesium was 13.66 times above federal limit for Caesium-134, 2 year half-life.
Radioactive Caesium was 12 times federal limit for Caesium-137, 30 year half-life.
Tennessee drinking water was detected with radiation slightly above 1/2 the federal maximum.
Radioactive Iodine has been detected in the drinking water across the entire US in the following states: California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Tennessee, Montana, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey, and Alabama, as well as in Canada.
Cesium and Tellurium were found in Boise, Las Vegas, Nome and Dutch Harbor, Honolulu, Kauai and Oahu, Anaheim, Riverside, San Francisco, and San Bernardino, Jacksonville and Orlando, Salt Lake City, Guam, and Saipan.
Uranium-234, with a half-life of 245,500 years has been found in Hawaii, California, and Washington.

Worse, cesium-137 has been found in American milk—in Montpelier, Vermont—for the first time since the Japan nuclear disaster began, according to data released by the Environmental Protection Agency late Friday. Great a known carcinogen in my milk. Awesome.

Drinking Water
Radioactive Iodine-131 was found in drinking water samples from 13 cities. Those cities are listed below, with the amount of Iodine-131 in picocuries per liter. The EPA’s maximum contaminant level for Iodine-131 in drinking water is 3 picocuries per liter.
