New / Revised FAQ
Berkeley Lab staff, I just wanted to say: I have read the entirety of the FAQ, and it is both informative and reassuring. That must have taken some time to prepare; the finished product is pretty calming. I thank you.

your monitoring site
Please keep this monitoring going as it provides very needed information to the public re the safety of what we inhale and ingest in terms of Japanese radioactivity. I am unaware of any other site with this type of critical information. The federal government should be providing the US citizens with this type of info, but it is not providing us with information to best protect us and to best make rational decisions. Thank you for this web site. I hope you are prepared to keep testing through November 2011 and beyond, because that is the best scenario date provided by nuclear physicists before these waves of radiation might be able to be stopped. I believe that optimistic date might have been based simply on the time that it took to get Chernobyl under control with a sarcophagus, but I question if they will be able to dig under these reactors due to water table in order to establish the structure for a sarcophagus--unlike Chernobyl.
By the way, Rick, thank you
By the way, Rick, thank you for your comments. We are constantly trying to address the concerns people are bringing up on this forum, and we hope the FAQ can help.

I just cleaned out some spam from here
There hasn't been that much spam in general, but for some reason a lot of spam comments were posted on this topic. A couple people made comments that I am reposting here, since they got deleted with the spam they were responding to.

These sort of posts almost never have a live human being behind them, so you might want to go easy with the emotions there.
its an effort to kill the site, i'd guess

the whole world is watching this site as perhaps the most honest assessment anywhere and a team of pofessionals who actually care.
Causing thr team to waste time on such junk hurts , but may make them have second thoughts about continuing the public forum.
That would be a tragedy as this info is critical for peace of mind and for knowing exactly what we are dealing with.
Ignore the spam. Or if a BRAWN team memebr can delete it maybe it won't come back.
And the links may have viruses too so be careful not to click them.
thanks mark -- any time frame for new milk, rain, tap, produce?
that is what i am waiting for
Where is the FAQ?

thanks!
Hear hear! I just want to say thanks for all these updates, information and FAQs. I'm a life scientist and I have several non-scientist friends here in CA freaking out about radiation and it's so great to be able to point them to your page. Thanks again!
