RadNet Map Interface. EPA's nationwide radiation monitoring system, RadNet, consists of two components. First, stationary and deployable air monitors measure radiation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The map below provides monitoring results as graphs that are updated several times daily. You can also search the RadNet database in EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX) to find monitoring data.

Second, EPA samples precipitation, drinking water, and milk on a routine schedule and tests them for radiation in a laboratory.

Let's Clear Up One Confusion About Bitcoin November 3, 2017 If bitcoin can be converted into fiat currencies at a lower transaction cost than the fiat-to-fiat conversions made by banks and credit card companies, it's a superior means of exchange. One of the most common comments I hear from bitcoin skeptics goes something like this:Bitcoin isn't real money until I can buy a cup of coffee with it.

In other words, bitcoin fails the first of the two core tests of "money": that it is a means of exchange and a store of value. If we can't buy a cup of coffee with bitcoin, it obviously doesn't qualify as a means of exchange. The confusion here is the same one that plagues the conventional understanding of the foreign exchange markets: people confuse exchange and convertibility, which are both flows, i.e. transactions. Here's an illustration of the difference. Let's say Hipster Coffee Bar accepts payment in bitcoin (BTC) for a cup of coffee. Consider a credit card. What is privilege? James Howard Kunstler.
