Safe Mode: On
Elevated Radiation Found In Saint Louis Storm Water System

A Saint Louis TV news station, KMOV channel 4, is reporting that the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) and the US Army Core of Engineers have detected UNKNOWN radioactive materials in Saint Louis storm water runoff and sewer system.

" about 2600 disintegrations per minute were detected, but that reading was not high enough to trigger more investigation. Typically, Cotner says that a reading of at least 6000 disintegrations per minute would lead to more sampling.


The above quote draws significant concern from the POTRBLOG team; for the following reasons:


1. It is not possible to calculate disintegrations per minute for an UNKNOWN material.
2. The report massively downplays the risk, and the need for further testing, based on calculation that are not possible given that they state they don't know what the radioactive material really is.

    More blogspot nonsense shit taken out of context....

    Sorry man, your low end blog reporting (on blogspot, which seems to be the one and only place conspiracy nutcases know how to make a web page)

    There's the link to the true story..... much different story from your shitty blogspot page, no offense but you're appearing to be another wannabe web mark More..

    • @qwerty4242 what is out of context? Be specific.

      The fact is they say it is an unknown radioactive material, yet the DPM measurement they give can't be calculated unless they know what the material is.

      That is just the math of the situation. I guess people like you may be afraid of math, but that is hardly fear mongering on our part.

      Instead it is a search for accountability; especially when they use faulty math to claim they don't need to do more testing.

      If there is any fear mongering it More..

    • @PimeTaradox
      That is likely the reason they were doing the testing; however, that does not mean it is the cause of the radiation.

      What ever the source of the radioactivity, their reported rationale for not doing further surveys does not pass mathematical rigor.

      I hope they follow your advice and "start there"; but it does not sound like that will happen.

  • Lots of medical facilities in that area. Medical wastes have extremely short half lives tho.

  • Nothing to worry about. The taliban just threw away some left over uranium from the nuclear bomb they were making.
