[R. Cromack] NEW BRAWM Air Data Up! (Through April 10)
4/12 (7:10pm): Air measurements have been updated through 4/10. As we've been seeing for the last several days, I-131 and Cs-137 are detected, but their levels are continuing a downward trend toward our detectable limits.

Looks to me like the Iodine
Looks to me like the Iodine and C-137 are bouncing around at the bottom level there, not necessarily downward ticking anymore? You've got one going down a touch, the other increasing a touch, but the last three readings are kinda clumped together. The good thing certainly is that they haven't popped up to the higher levels. But these differences are so tiny....
Guess what happens in the future depends on the events in Japan....
That's good news... To Sumarize:
> Cs-137, for April 10th, is the 4th lowest level detected since the event began. It's been sub-MDA for five out of the last nine days reported.
> Cs-134 has been I-131's April 10 result is the second-lowest to date. Hasn't been significantly above MDA for about a week now.
> I-132 and Te-132 have been below MDA for the last 13 consecutive days.
...Please correct me if I made any errors.
I read this as good news, ASSUMING Berkeley's readings are comparable to any other western North American monitoring station. Now we just need to see the C-137 in rainfall hammered down to zero.

Sorry... Forgot the Cs-134!
That second bullet point SHOULD have read:
> Cs-134 has been sub-MDA for 12 out of the last 13 days.
Sorry for the "tease"!
