These are Radiation Levels, detected at Sherrills Ford Elementary School in Sherrills Ford, North Carolina. Sherrills Ford Elementary is Not a known coal ash fill site, but we wanted to check these grounds because of it’s close proximity to the Marshall Steam Station. We are happy to report that all radiation levels on school grounds are within a normal, expected range and present nothing alarming, from our perspective, for students, parents and staff. We did find some elevated readings on the gravel road to the side of the school, so that should be an area to avoid.
The Gamma Radiation Level Tracks are created with ‘RadiaCode 103’ detection devices. Each colored dot represents a Radiation detection(dose rate), in microroentgens per hour. We use these detections to pinpoint Hot Spots, where Coal Ash is closer to the surface, within Coal Ash Fill Sites. Click on each dot to see the level detected. Radiation Levels range from Purple(Lowest per Track), then Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red(Highest per Track). On each Map you can deselect the Layers (Individual Tracks) to more easily see the Highest and Lowest detection points of each Track.
