Well. What are the usual readings over say, one year? Ten years? I've no real doubt that various forms of ionising radiation are increasing, but that graph looks like something our government would produce to 'prove' something.

Any radiation that's arriving at the West Coast is miniscule.

You can make these plots yourself using the Radnet data over any time period you want. I chose the days since the earthquake for obvious reasons.

20th March at Sacramento. 30% higher than normal since the particles reached California.
