Where have you gotten any data on radiation in Montana, other than the EPA site in Billings? Billings is a looooong ways from Great Falls, where the missile silos are. I suspect the high readings in Billings are a local phenomenon, possibly from all the uranium mines in the Pryor Mountains.
Also, do missile silos actually release radiation? How would that work? Do you have any info? This is relevant because we live just south of Great Falls, in Helena.

Hi, I have been trying to find any data on Kalispell. Does anyone have any readings or links? I know overall Montana is high, but I think most of that is due to nukes throughout the plains. Great Falls and to the east through the Dakotas. I have been very curious about the Kalispell through Missoula area that seems to be protected by the ranges. Many thanks for anything you can post!

That's what I was trying to find information on. On Radiation Network, the reading and nuclear symbol (I am assuming for Malstrom) seem to be over the Great Falls area. As far as missiles... they are nuclear missiles and 1/3 of our nations land based ones are stored there. I just put another post up that had links and pics and stuff. I am not sure if the marker is just in the wrong place on radiationnetwork.com (as it doesn't have the more detailed map for that area - and you cannot click on it, like with this site), but either way, all the stuff I found about what is there has changed my mind about selecting that area
It would be just like staying here (Colorado).
