Milk Sample 05-02-2011
First, I would like to offer my sincere thanks to the BRAWM team for providing us with so much useful information. This is a wonderful service, and it is very much appreciated.
Second, I would like a bit of clarification regarding the milk sample dated 05-20-2011. It was stated in the Results Log: "We observed a decrease in the levels of all fission product isotopes." How can you make that claim when Cs137 is clearly being detected at the highest levels yet?

Sorry, mixed up the date, meant 05-02-2011
I wondered the same thing.
I wondered the same thing. Cesium levels are clearly rising in milk, not declining.
Oh these wacky scientists! They missed something.
It is pretty simple, really.
The results are from raw milk not store bought and really should have their own seperate graphs.
While the raw milk is still higher than the store bought (pasteurized homogenized) it is still going down vis a vis the previous RAW milk samples.
The rarw milk has tested higher than the other store bought milk in the few samples listed, so it LOOKS on the graph like these high levels apply to all the milk and that they are increasing.
It is inconsistent to be sure and should be fixed on the graph (or provide seperate graphs, BRAWM) if you are claiming it is going down when the graph shows its going up (oops) when the RAW milk IS going down but is still higher than the store bought milk was.
I need to look at the graphs again but if you compare the last two raw milk samples in the chart at the bottom, you will see that, I think, they all went down. There are no new store bought samples reported yet, so we shall see. It is, hopefully, consistent good news.
i do wish I knew what was causing the anomalies though - is there a nuclear power plant burping over there somewhere?
I think it's never stopped burping....
to some degree....the webcams seem to always show *something* coming out of the plant. They say it's steam, but I'm sure that steam has some radioactive particles in it.
"i do wish I knew what was causing the anomalies though - is there a nuclear power plant burping over there somewhere?"
The winds here are different, I don't know about over there, and I don't know if that is making a difference.
bump for brawm response
