EPA Mobile Environmental Radiation Laboratories (MERLs) Can Detect Radiation In Air, On Beaches, Animals, In Food

Mobile sample preparation trailers and mobile laboratories are used by EPA to determine whether low-level contamination exists in samples taken from the environment around a site. RERT has two Mobile Environmental Radiation Laboratories (MERLs), which can arrive at any site in the United States within two to four days.

In other words, they could have used these mobile radiation detection labs to measure the worst of the plumes coming over from Fukushima, despite their normal RADNET monitors being broken under the worst of the plumes, at the worst times. The fact is, they did not measure the worst of the radiation plume from Fukushima, either with the regular monitoring network, or with these mobile units. 

Why not? Who made that decision?

EPA’s scanner van is one of many pieces of specialized equipment that can be used to detect radiation. It can be driven around a large area to identify “hotspots” where radiological contamination or other threats may exist.

These vehicles contain the latest radiation survey and communications equipment and are maintained in a constant state of readiness for deployment at a moment's notice.
