Radioactive Nuclide
Are there any assays of the following in addition to Xe-133,Cs-136&137,I-131? Now that Pu-139 (and who knows how many more!) has/have been released into the environment is any of the detection equipment able to detect these elements as well?
We're located in Reno, NV and would like to know if you are also receiving any data from UNR (U of Nevada,Reno) or any others here or near Truckee, CA. Anyone else reading here, if you have links to any sites showing data or better yet, streaming data from both public and private sources it would be appreciated. As of yesterday www.ans.org sent a report outlining that the problems with Fukushima Daiichi nuke plant, its shut down and cleanup will take several YEARS and it would be nice to be able to monitor days when radiation levels are a bit higher than they should be as well as to track multiple agricultural geographies to have some idea as to where this material is concentrating.
Thank you!

We have links to several
We have links to several other groups making radioisotope measurements on our FAQ: "Are other groups making measurements like this?". We list three group located in Nevada, which might be most relevant to you. Please check those out.
