uclear Emergency Tracking Center - Netc.com is an Early Warning Radiation System that takes data from private radiation monitoring stations and EPA network and creates a RBL ( Radiation Background Level ) for each 3000+ stations everyday.
NORM ( Natural Occurring Radioactive Material ) radiation background level has been simplified in name only to RBL ( Radiation Background Level ). The same calculations are still used. Radcon-1 will be the middle of RBL ( Radiation Background Level ) range and it will be compared to the Current Radiation at that monitoring station. The increase change between middle of RBL and the Current Radiation will set the Radcon levels 2 for small increase, 3 for higher increase, and 4 for the top of the range over a three month time frame. When RBL is above the radiation background range and other requirements are met, an Radcon-5 Alert will be issue and Email/Text messages are sent. If the Radcon-1 is Green/Yellow, the RBL (Radiation Background Level) is decreasing or staying the same level, like in Japan where most of the RBL are Green/Yellow.

Our mission is provide free radiation monitoring information from private and government sites to the public. We have about 300 radiation monitoring sites across the United States and Japan and will add more sites in other parts of the Earth, when they become available. The Google Map provides a platform to display the information on computers, tablets, Iphones, Android devices, and many others. This is a private company, Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center, LLC (Netc.com) and needs your support.
Be careful about the knowledge you will receive about radiation and the effects on our planet, my heart is heavy with sorrow for my children and the next generation that must deal with our failures. Warning from the Bible: Now as for you, Daniel, roll up your scroll and seal your words until the time of the end. Many will rush around, while knowledge increases. (Daniel 12:4) For with much wisdom there is much sorrow; the more someone adds to knowledge, the more someone adds to grief. (Ecclesiastes 1:18)

Post What is NETC maps all about???
Here is explaination on how to understand the NETC charts. :!:
Some of the sites are from the EPA's database. The EPA's 4.site# are the beta sites from the EPA and the EPA's 5.site# are the gamma sites from 600-800 Kev range where a lot of geiger counters are calibrated to. The sites in Japan uses nSw/h. Our system is based of relative readings from the past history of each site to their present readings, so you will be able to tell if there is an increase in radiation at that site. But some customers like to know what is the absolute level of radiation at each site, so with the chart membership you can change the readings to absolute base zero. The Japan maps looks totally different in absolute format. I am sorry that I have not posted this information in the Forum for you to understand what NETC.com system is all about.
As a chart member, you can change the way Netc.com displays the data from Relative mode to Absolute mode, then you can see that Japan radiation level is much higher, but you will never know when the radiation increases because the Japan stations will always be in Radcon-5 level for the next 1000 years. In Relative mode the NORM background radiation at each station is compared to the current radiation level at that station, so when the radiation increases you can tell at your location that something has changed and alerts you of the increase radiation level. The degree of radiation increase determines the RADCON level that is set at your location. Netc.com does not compare one site location to another location because each location is different by the type of Geiger counter, inside or outside, location, etc.
