North Alabama Monitoring Site Showing Alert levels of Radiation

I took this screen cap from:
http://radiationnetwork.com/

This image is showing alert levels for the Huntsville Area. It has been bouncing around from 130 to 160 this morning. I looked at some Huntsville news pages and found no mention of what this might mean.


According to radiationnetwork.com, the alert level is 100 Counts per Minute or higher. I will continue to monitor the levels and post my findings. Right now it is at 154 Counts per Minute

UPDATE 9:07 CDT: After peaking near 160 it appeared to stop reporting. Readings were "0" for a while and now the site is reporting levels at or near what seems to be within a normal range. I suppose this will be explained as equipment malfunction.

UPDATE: Apparently this could have been an actual alert. This is from radiationnetwork.com "Update: 3/28/11, 6:05 A.M. Something triggered a Radiation Alert this morning at a Monitoring Station in northern Alabama. We are trying to track down the reason behind it."
