I keep using the wrong address to send stuff to RADSAFE.
Just not safe with a computer.

While I agree that the probability of anything from the
Japanese accident reaching the U.S. in quantities 
sufficient to be seen on an air filter is zero, I am
curious why the gross beta readings from 26 of 27 air 
samplers, operated by PA-BRP around nuclear facilities,
were elevated during the week of October 25, 1999. These
samplers are throughout PA.  The highest readings were 
in the western part of the state.
