Where has EPA deployed additional radiation air monitors?
• EPA maintains additional deployable radiation air monitors that can be sent to any location in the United States or its territories. • EPA made the decision to deploy additional monitors to aide us in gathering data from a position closer to Japan. • EPA sent two radiation air monitors to Guam. • In an effort to cover the widest possible area, one of those monitors from Guam was transferred to the Northern Mariana Islands in Saipan. • EPA sent two additional monitors to Hawaii. • EPA sent three additional air radiation monitors to Alaska. • The additional monitors were set up in Dutch Harbor, Juneau and Nome. The EPA deployable monitor in Juneau is in need of repair and has been returned to a staging area. • Since the Juneau stationary monitor continues to collect and report data, the deployable monitor will not be re-deployed.
