Dr. Mr. Griggs,
I am concerned as to why Radnet has been down and not doing the job of monitoring the air and water( rain also) for radioisotopes. As you know the Northern hemisphere has been bombarded on a daily basis by man-made isotopes that are at deadly levels since 3-11-11 when Fukushima happened. It is the job of NAREL to monitor this ongoing catastrophe and inform the public, which your office has failed to do. Why is RADNET down? This makes no sense unless it is being done purposefully in which that is criminal negligence. I will bring this to the attention of my Senator and whomever else in the Government will listen. The radiation readings that citizen scientists have been taking with Geiger counters are at extremely high levels.
Your agency will eventually be questioned as to why it is not doing the job it is supposed to do to protect and inform the public.
Sincerely,
Kay Cody

Dear Ms. Cody,
Thank you for reaching out to me about EPA’s RadNet system. I appreciate your need for radiation information and I want to assure you that at the EPA’s National Analytical Radiation Environmental Laboratory we are committed to gathering and providing accurate data about radiation in the environment.
The RadNet system is fully functional. RadNet streams gamma gross count rate data from nearly 140 air monitors across the United States and our scientists screen every air filter from these monitors. NAREL scientists also analyze monthly precipitation samples from 28 locations across the country. This data is publicly available at www.epa.gov/radnet or you can go directly to EPA’s Envirofacts RadNet database for laboratory results. I hope that the information on these websites alleviates some of your concern.
If you have additional questions, please e-mail radiation.questions@epa.gov and our team will respond promptly.
Sincerely,
John Griggs
