6/7/2012 High Geiger counter readings from South Bend, Indiana 7000CPM highest

Source(s): ichicax4, dutchsince
Date: 6/7/2012 about midnight or 1 AM CST

Concerned citizen ichicax4 made a call to the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) based on an astonishingly high reading from the South Bend, Indiana Geiger counter from radiationnetwork.com, which collects and reports radiation readings from individuals who own Geiger counters and choose to share their readings over the Internet.  Quoting the monitoring network itself from the Alerts section:

Update: 6/6/12, 11:55 P.M. - Very high reading in South Bend, IN station this evening.   Reason unknown.  Station unresponsive to contact at this late hour.  Since this same station has triggered the Alert system before, which Alerts may have been false, and because his current readings do not appear to be corroborated by nearby stations, we have disabled his station for the time being.  Will report back when we know more.

Here is the video from ichicax4 with screen grabs of radiationnetwork.com and a record of her call to the NRC. This took place at approximately 1AM per the video and readings as high as 7000CPM were observed from South Bend, Indiana monitoring station:

Video Description

At time of upload station is reading 7,000 cpm again 1:10 am.

@2:00 am numbers dropped to normal and then went up to 300's...Black Cat is reading hign too in tandem...if this IS a plume this is not from Fuku, it would have set off other detectors west of there from the wind direction in the days prior. This is either a malfunction, or this is a local plant or local event. My next guess would be check military installations in area for activity as well. It should start setting off detectors south/southeast in the next few hours, if its real. I will be calling the NRC back in the a.m. There are several other nuke plants N/NW/W that need to be checked too if it continues.

Anyone local with a geiger please post readings.

Note that a second observer dutchsinse also noticed similar high readings from radiationnetwork.com but also on a second crowd-sourced radiation monitoring network blackcatsystems.com:

Dutch has written an alert article on the high reading at his blog titled: 6/7/2012 — RADIATION ALERT on multiple systems — North Indiana – South Michigan.
