BRAWM: Can we get some more strawberry samples results please ASAP? (From Bill)
I need to know asap as the last tests you did were troublin and it seems that strawberries were showing the most accumulation of radiocesium.
Can you do some more testing of strawberries asap? My kids bought some California Strawberries and I am kind of worried.
Srawberry results yet BRAWM (Tuesday June 21)?
soon?
Please, are there some data
Please, are there some data as to oceanic radioactive contamination from Fukushima ? I have not seen anything lately, but I see that the Kuroshio carries to Alaska where McDonalds does get most of the fish fillets.
Chemtrails
Hi, I am looking at lots of websites this weekend trying to determine if chemtrails are real. Has UC Berkely monitored lelels of aluminum and barium in the soil? Thanks!
No way are they going to
No way are they going to confirm chemtrails. I wish they would but I can't see it. Remember these are the "Harmless traces of radiation detected in Bay Area" guys.

Pretty disappointing that the only folks doing any testing are so pro nuclear.
Damn man, what do you
Damn man, what do you want?
If you have a land mine in your back yard, no doubt you would consult an expert in explosives, right? Would you then fault that person for their field of expertise?
If I had the know how and equip, I would do it myself. I don't have the know-how and the equip is way expensive, so I am very glad the BRAWM is doing it.
BTW, for any who doubt the integrity of the team, please bear in mind that they live here too, and that if they wanted to fudge data, IMHO it would look cleaner, or we wouldn't see any data at all. Also, I will point out that science nerds dig science for it's own sake - I feel that an honest intellectual curiosity is largely the motive here, and that is a good thing.
Last Man Standing
I think "or we wouldn't see any data at all" is more accurate *if* the BRAWM team wanted to fudge data. Everyone needs to remember that the govt. agencies stopped reporting any detections a LONG time ago. But, the BRAWM team is squeezing out every last detection they can. Does that sound like a group that's trying to get people to forget about it and stop worrying about nuclear power?
Apparently the real
Apparently the real bombshell at the moment is this,
"I think the most important point never mentioned Jay Gould's finding in Deadly Deceit that damage is the square of the reduced distance between you and the particle. One meter away does some damage, 1 cm away is not 100 but 100*2, 10,000 times more damaging. Inside you, a micron away, its not 1,000,000 times more damaging, it's a million squared. So it may not trigger the geiger counter but it does great damage."
A bombshell if you are unaware of existing internal exposure

That exposure is only a micron away as well. But, as a norm, we don't worry about it.
"Would you then fault that
"Would you then fault that person for their field of expertise?"
Maybe I would fault them. I definitely wouldn't trust their expertise if they told me that there were a "harmless" number of landmines in my yard.

They have the patents, why not use 'em?
Any strawberry results yet? And does refiguring cesium in air
affect results for the food chain?
Could these be contaminated from other sources in your lab, for example (still trying to wrap my mind around that revelation).
I'd Add that Strawberies STILL have no "undetectable" levels
out of all the food tested (except milk) strawberies seem to be the last food you've tested to STILL show radiocesium. It would be nice to see a nondetect (or below minimum) before I resume eating strawberries or give them to my kids. We know it is in the soil still and in the milk (and presumably at some levels in the grass where it may bioaccumulate in higher detectable levels in milk unless the cows are eating contaminated corn etc or just lactating out the cesium they bioaccumulated in the past months)
I still have not had an interpreatation of the raw vs store bought milk results btw (why would this be)
But what we do NOT know is whether strawberries are YET NOT showing any contamination. In other words: Can you let us know about the straeberries with an actual result for NOW?
Hi Bill, we have a
Hi Bill, we have a strawberry sample scheduled in for this weekend, and a new store-bought milk and raw milk sample due out by sometime this weekend. We are trying to follow these until we have non-detections.
As someone pointed out below, the difference between the pasteurized/store-bought milk and the "raw" milk is where it is from. We know a lot of specifics about the raw milk — exactly which pasture the raw milk is from, what the farmer has been feeding his cows, and we even have some measurements of the grass from that pasture (I'll try to post these soon).
Also, the store-bought milk and raw milk aren't too far apart. If you correct for the 18-day period we have assumed between the bottling time and the "best by" date, the peaks in the cesium both fall around the first week of April. The levels are also comparable.

Detectable levels
U guys think l our grain belt of corn and wheat will have detectable levels this will be next years food supply.
