Fukushima Accident Assessment Officially Raised To Maximum, Level 7
What started as less serious than Three Mile Island has just become as serious as Chernobyl, with the Fukushima disaster assessment having been raised to the highest, Level 7. From NHK: "For a series of accidents happening at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency of the Ministry of Economy, which released large amounts of radioactive substances that affect human health and the environment in a wide range As an assessment based on international standards of the accident, the worst "level seven" decided to raise. "Level 7" is the same as the evaluation occurred in the Soviet Chernobyl disaster. Nuclear Safety Agency, 12, held a press conference with the Nuclear Safety Commission has decided to publish the contents of the evaluation." Of course, due to the much greater concentration of people, and the far smaller land territory, should Japan continue to persist with "controlling" the crisis with the same success as it has over the past month, very soon a Level of 8 and/or higher may be required. In the meantime, we are getting unconfirmed reports that radiation content in Hawaii milk is orders of magnitude greater than Federal Drinking water limits. While one can bicker over the exact number, it is certain that as long as Fukushima continues to billow radioactive smoke, steam and/or water, cumulative radiation levels, both domestically and globally, can only go in one direction.

that's a nice one day move of 16.67%.
It was above analysts expectations.

Ladies and gentlemen, fellow Americans, good people of the world. There has recently been much discussion of the nuclear disaster in Japan and its effects on the health of Americans. Folks, I am here to tell you that there is no cause for alarm.
Like other Americans some of the things I hold most dear include wide open blue skies, clean air, and clean water. America has more of these resources than anywhere on earth. This has not changed since the tsunami hit the Fukushima nuclear power plant on March 11. It will not change in the coming months, I promise you that.
Some Americans look at our own power plants and wonder if Fukushima could happen here. But folks, Fukushima can not happen here. Our power plants are safe. Our regulations are much stronger than in Japan. Our disaster mitigation plans are much better developed than in Japan. And, finally, American ingenuity will solve all problems thrown our way, just as it has through the history of our proud country.
Much talk has been made about the rise of atmospheric radiation above our nation, about the rise of radiation in our soils. Let me be clear that these levels are far below the levels that government organizations would consider unsafe for human habitation. The iodine 131 and cesium 137 levels being detected in our milk and produce is far below the levels that are considered unsafe for human consumption.
There are those folks who would have you believe that you cannot trust government statistics, that you should buy a geiger counter if you want to know the truth. These people are the true enemy, not the radiation. These "truthers" are a clear threat to our standards of democracy, human values, and good old-fashioned American decency. For behind the truthers are the very terrorists we have been fighting against for so long. And now these terrorist organizations have infiltrated the very heart of America, and are in our living rooms and our bedrooms even as I speak. Rest assured that I will do everything in my power as President of this great nation to repel this threat to our freedoms, and that in the coming months we shall take decisive action against this new menace to our financial stability and to our Constitution. Thank you, good night, and God bless America.
You all read this in Obama's voice.

I don't know why they junked you, I thought it was funny, in a sick sort of way....
He was junked in support of what a great job he did sounding like Obama..so he got junked for being Obama.
(Its actually a "Like")
good job.
"WHAT! Pebble Beach is showing high radiation readings! WTF people! Someone get Biden out there with a Geiger counter and some tongs...get that dumbass at EPA on the phone! Tell her to change the readings or something! If I HAVE to fly back to Brazil to get a decent tee time again, Michelle will NOT be happy!"
Many have tried the character role on ZH, but they always break sooner than later.
Loving it so far. Haven't seen the Judge lately----remember the horrid Luigi?
Yeah, fiasco and desafio. Two of 'em!
Shocking!
We have entered the land of the surreal with the worldwide, global, Ponzi, centrally planned, lying, total bullshit, putrid wasteland that Ben Bernanke [and all his kind...now including weak-assed House Speaker Boehner] have made.
Seriously, if there are folk near the Fukushima reactors that don't understand what is happening to them now, then they suffer primarily from their ill-placed faith in government. Who could save them now...and how?
Its in GODS hands now.
Yeah, when it's time to build rafts the Emperor will break the news.
7 7 7
Jackpot !
A month after the earthquake and nuclear incident they now OFFICIALLY classify it as a LEVEL 7. A whole month gone by. Well we can take one thing from this situation. A communist country (USSR) was able to take the bull by the horns and get Chernobyl undercontrol within the first 10 days.
A capitalist country like Japan, in one months time has officially raised the LEVEL to a 7 and the problem gets worse every day.
This reminds me of what Dmitry Orlov stated in his post:
Closing the 'Collapse Gap': the USSR was better prepared for collapse than the UShttp://www.energybulletin.net/node/23259
Here he compares the former USSR to the USA and how they are prepared for economic and social collapse.
I am surprised the Japanese Govt has not jumped in sooner and taken control of this situation. If this is any sign going forward, the USA will be in a world of hurt when the supply chain disruptions hit the economy and lousy quarterly earnings reports come out in JUNE-JULY this year (mike ruppert).

Good one.
Chilling Ned; very chilling.
China, S.Korea and others must be getting nervous about the situation. What happens when a sovereign, through attack or negligence, impairs another sovereign's domestic food supply?
Unfortunately, we might find out in the next few months.
They are going to hold the press conference on April 12. It's still 7AM on April 12, and you don't expect them to start working that early, do you?
I'll try to watch the press conference.
Thank you again for staying on top of this, ex-skf.
enough time for the banks to take the right side of the trade....
no wonder black swan events are not materialising...the media is being used to delay this information....making it profitable.
The drip feeding of real information to citizens has now reached epidemic levels. All governments are guilty of this. First the financial crisis now this. We are all boiling frogs now and when the SHTF we shall not bat an eyelid!
It works quite well, doesn't it?
Sad.
Amazing Fukushima coverage by ZH. The Tylers and their sources get the Carnac award. Sans humor, of course . . .
Calm down people.
The radiation is only transitory. instead of narrowly focusing on Fukushima I prefer to look at the worldwide average radiation levels excluding Japan and the Pacific Ocean. This has proven to be a better predictor of future radiation levels over the last 25 years.
The headline inflation number is quite high.
...so much so, "it's radiating".
It's ok, they will just raise the max level to 50. Level 7 out of 50 isn't so bad.
OK, when does the rest of the world step in? When is "national sovereignty" trumped by a global disaster? It is apparent that the Japanese bureaucracy will take no responsibility or useful action. Isn't there any treaty they are breaking by this level of contamination (coupled with obvious inaction) that gives cause to the UN or Intl Atomic Energy Agency to intervene? Geez, when the old Soviets look efficient in comparison you know you're not looking good.
OK before someone else says it, no I don't actually think the UN will do a great job either. But when does this fall under something closer to genocide?
Good point
About the same time as the CBs and politicians take the rap for the financial meltdown.
we could nuke 'em. for humanitarian reasons of course. am i being serious when i say this? i'm unsure. perhaps a statement that "all things are on the table" will do?
I am still amazed at the sheer and utter ability for the Japaneese people to tolerate complete incompetence from their leaders and not resort to pitchforks and torches.
Level 7 = what 1,000 DOW points, or Russell points?
Who cares I guess they are sending school kids back to Fukushima right? I guess they need radiation absorbers, can't think of any other logic to justify that call.
If level 7 is the highest level, how can there be a level 8?
How can the US be $75 trillion in debt?
But - this disaster goes to eleven.

Imaginary numbers and fairy dust.
Pimco' TRF, anyone?
if volume 10 is a high as an amp how did Spinal Tap get there's to "volume 11"? I mean "maybe Japan is just one louder" too?
LOL. I had exactly the same Spinal Tap thought.
Fukushima IS one louder, soon to be 2 louder.
How's this bullish for silver?
Those bouncing tits are the only things that keep me from junking your foolish posts....
Which reminds me of a joke:
A lady walks into a Pet Store with her dog "Titswiggle" in search of a new chew toy.
Lady to Clerk: "Pardon me sir, but will you watch my Titswiggle while I look at your balls"
T.E.I.N. everyone!
I would think that would be obvious. Only silver can kill radiation-spawned shapeshifting monsters.
We're gonna need a lot.

the globalists couldn't be happier. what better way to reduce the world population. just keep fudging numbers until we're all dead. throw in a new killer virus for good measure!
I dunno. This is no neutron bomb. The Globalists dependend on this spinning orb like we all do.
Ya know what's strange.
7? That can't be the end of the scale, it's such an arbitary number.
There must be a 10 and I'm guessing that's something not cool.
If it was the number 4 the Japanese would be lynching people?
//4 is a very unlucky number through all of China, Japan and Korea and and and.
7 is the top of the scale:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Nuclear_Event_Scale
7 is the top of the "known scale"
For example, Chernobyl was a 7, but that's not to say a nuclear accident can't be much worse than Chernobyl. For instance, Chernobyl was 1 reactor...we are talking about SIX reactors in this case. Now for granted, they are not identical accidents but if we assume a worse case scenario for each of the 6 reactors @ Fukushima doesn't this have the possibility of being far worse than a 7?
I guess what I'm saying is that 7 is the top of the scale because Chernobyl was the worsed accident up until Fukushima and was the bellwether of nuclear accidents. Could Fukushima be an 8, or even a 9? I don't see why not if when all is said and done it is orders of magnitude worse than Chernobyl.
It's incredible to think about...the lives that will be affected by this. It's epic and tragic, truly.
let's just assume the worst case for every reactor. Everywhere.
That makes it eleventy billion on that scale. Happy?
No. Not every reactor everywhere.
Just the ones hit by a tsunami and that have either exploded or are in some stage of meltdown.
Dickwad, AssHat, ScumTroll ...Shut your Pie hole!!!
Apple should sell them a java script website that runs a counter that shows the radiation levels plummeting that "corrects" itself every once in a while to make people BELIEVE it's actually bothering to go and read some real data point.

My hat's off to the ZH staff for their coverage on this event since day 1. You stuck your necks way out on this one, continually harping on the fact that things were way worse than reported and revealing the chronic cover ups and lies from governments and agencies around the world. Your took a position that was strongly against the MSM grain, but maintained this position because of your research, analysis and intuition. You've done a true service to the health and welfare of those ZH readers living near this disaster who heeded your advice to get the hell out.
It takes guts to take the stance you did. Sadly for the people of Japan, your work has now been vindicated, as they will be dealing with a version of Chernobyl+ for decades (centuries?) to come.
Your coverage of this event has singlehandedly made ZH, in my mind, the best media service (or whatever you call yourselves) in the world.
+reliability
Agreed, thank you ZH.
Indeed. Much thanks and appreciation especially in the light of how much 'capital' it might have cost you. Thanks for putting it out there anyway to be discussed.
tru dat
Well said! My hat is off to ZH which I have turned to since day one of this nuclear crisis. ZH did indeed stick it's neck out, and the usual suspects came along to post how ZH and it's majority of posters were all "nuts" to think this was anything but a minor blip soon to be put to rest. Radiation? What radiation?
Three cheers for Tyler and everyone else on ZH who followed this from Day 1

Mother fkers. Hoodwinked once again. When we are all dead then the truth shall be told.
Had to junk you. The information to draw this conclusion has been available since 10 days after the event. And it is going to get worse, the reason no one has done "anything" is because there is nothing that can be done, no matter what you do at this point, there will only be one end result........
But....but....Jim Cramer said Fukushima is not a Chernobyl scenario.
"Had Japan endured a nuclear meltdown, Cramer thinks the markets would have sold-off, but the "Mad Money" host said a Chernobyl situation was never really on the table. ¶ Japan's nuclear plants have fail-safe that make a Chernobyl-like explosion unlikely, Cramer explained. There are multiple safeguards that would prevent an event of that magnitude, he added."
http://www.cnbc.com/id/42090187I just took a Cramer and my bathroom is unihabitable for the next 3-5 hours.
Cramer can lick my sweaty nuts!!
Amazing, not a mention of this anywhere! Is this confirmed?
Count,
Google is an amazing tool. http://news.google.com/news/search?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=fukushima&cf=all&as_qdr=h&as_drrb=q
Confirmed (first reported as "may" raise level to 7) Did you know you can hit the link on this post (From NHK) and have Google translate it for you too?
Need new level.
Controlling panic is the guise of which these assholes get away with murder on a large scale as well as endangering the environment on which they so largely depend upon for their food supply.
Japanese are honorable and compassionate people. If you studied what occurred before the A-bomb was dropped on innocent civilians in Japan....you might understand better. Here's an excerpt (and I could care less whether you like E. Mullins or not...most of the story can be verified).
"But, Mr. Secretary," said Alger Hiss, "no one can ignore the terrible power of this weapon." "Nevertheless," said Stettinius, "our entire postwar program depends on terrifying the world with the atomic bomb." "To accomplish that goal," said John Foster Dulles, "you will need a very good tally. I should say a million." "Yes," replied Stettinius, "we are hoping for a million tally in Japan. But if they surrender, we won't have anything." "Then you have to keep them in the war until the bomb is ready," said John Foster Dulles. "That is no problem. Unconditional surrender." "They won't agree to that," said Stettinius. "They are sworn to protect the Emperor." "Exactly," said John Foster Dulles. "Keep Japan in the war another three months, and we can use the bomb on their cities; we will end this war with the naked fear of all the peoples of the world, who will then bow to our will."
There were still many anxious moments for the conspirators, who planned to launch a new reign of terror throughout the world. Japan had been suing for peace. Each day it seemed less likely that she could stay in the war. On March 9 and 10, 1945, 325 B-29s had burned thirty-five square miles of Tokyo, leaving more than one hundred thousand Japanese dead in the ensuing firestorm. Of Japan's 66 biggest cities, 59 had been mostly destroyed. 178 square miles of urban dwellings had been burned, 500,000 died in the fires, and now twenty million Japanese were homeless. Only four cities had not been destroyed; Hiroshima, Kokura, Niigata, and Nagasaki.
(Read it all...very interesting) http://battleofearth.wordpress.com/2010/04/07/why-hiroshima-was-destroye...
Which begs the question....So what was the Japanese government refusing to do or not cooperate that brought on the latest disaster? Was the trumped up Toyota propaganda the first shot across the bow? Is Japan refusing to be part of the new world government and their objectives for the grand finale?
Who the hell knows! But we should refuse to accept the government's word on anything because they are genocidal maniacs. IOW...they will commit the most heinous crime to gain control of you and your assets.
well the japanese want to go in their own direction and don't want any part of the nwo etc. for this, they had to be taken down. i believe all of this stuff is happening on purpose. when you look at world war 2, japan, germany and italy were called the axis powers. now we have the axis of evil. sometimes one might wonder , if one wishes to, just who is right and who is wrong, and who is evil and who is good. when i look at armies now that have american flags on their uniforms, i think, they don't belong to me. they are doing things i don't want them to do. so who is it that they are working for? not me? most american people did not want to go to war in both ww1 or ww2, yet we went, based upon lies, even after wilson and FDR both lied during the presidential races and said they would not get us into these wars. then we see today, and how we were lied to about 911 and so now these mercenary american armies fight for nothing and die for nothing , all of it , based upon lies........just who is in the right and who is wrong? people say, God bless our troops and I say, why should He? Why should God, bless those who are doing things that are wrong? Now this world is strange to say the least. the book says, wo to those who call good evil, and evil good, that put darkness for light and light for darkness and bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Now donald trump says he is a Christian and fears God because he wants the votes of the Christians and you knwo what? He is getting noticed by the religious right. Weird.... Strange days we live in. Strange indeed.
Our troops are being used as pawns and are just following orders. We can still pray for their protection.
Trump doesn't want to be president, nor does he think he can get the votes. He's not stupid, although i would not call him smart.
What's the best way to steal votes from a real contender (think Ron Paul)? All this birther crap will come to rest right before the elections, and pity will fall upon Obama.
Yes, I agree with you HPD. But what if the gov has already given in to the NWO? After all, why all the delay in responses to this nuclear fiasco? Is the stage being set for a mass migration? The japanese people are like most people...they do not want the NWO or whatever you may call it. But what choice do they have now?
yes i think trump is a smoke screen....no doubt about it. its not about mass migration. it is about mass death.
Yeah maybe but I think they already plan on at least half the world population to succumb to radiation poisoning via cell phones in about 15 years or so. I know most people turn a blind eye to that fact. When I hear the horror stories about the radiation coming from Japan I just wonder about the ignorance of people. its not really ignorance....its the fact that they parrot whatever they read or hear without checking the facts. Thus, they'll gladly soak up 4-6 hours radiation from a cellphone vs. a trivial (virtually negligible) dose from fukushima.
not just to block Ron but Rand as well. He has stated he may run if his father does not.
Japan attacked the US during WW2. The US response was overwelming. The message: do not f with the US. The rest of the world took note. There is no negotiating in the world, never has been. The big dog wins. The question is only, who will next be the big dog?
me! me! me! ... China+Russia!
And a thanks to GW to keeping this front and centre even when accused of being an alarmist, chicken little, etc.
Yes, this is alarming. It's the story of our times. A catastrophe. Junk me but I've had it with "bullish this and that." This is about humanity, not how much PMs you're holding.
the death of a nation is not pretty to watch. but watch we must. because no one will get in the street and do what is necessary to avert this national catastrophe that is happening here. yes i am a metal head. but it does me no good to watch all of this. it makes me sad. it is bitter sweet. when you love a country, a country that my forefathers fought for on many occasions, this love sometimes causes one to stop and take notice of what is gained and what is lost. i fear for all of you in your twenties and thirties and the world that is coming fast toward you at a trot. all i can say is prepare for the days ahead. ozzie and harriet it is not.
Was it Edgar Cayce who foresaw "the greater portion of Japan must go into the sea"?
i think so.
I thought that was California? Maybe that was Donald Fagan. "California/tumbles into the sea. That 'll be the day I go back to Annandale. Tried to warn ya'/About Chino and Daddy Gee/But I can't seem to get to you through the US Mail.
"Learn to swim."
Tool
That would be correct. Edgar Cayce also said the great lakes would eventually empty into the Gulf of Mexico. Maybe something to do with that pesky Madrid Fault.
They haven't raised it to level-7 yet. It's been recommended. Gold teeth are my desire. If level-7 doesn't come my way, I may to move on to bread.
You may wish to read this:
http://enenews.com/japan-officially-raises-fukushima-to-level-7-same-as-chernobyl-translation
well they used many tons of silver direct from the Treasury to build our first atomic bombs. it all got irradiated so be careful if you like "jingling the Roosevelt" in the pocket. Your balls might fall off.
When does the mass migration begin? Where do you move a 100+ million people to?
If only there was some place with a bunch of empty houses being sold on the cheap...
interesting...did you see my earlier response?
The one about hiroshima?
yes. Many things to consider here. I've done too much reading and research over the past 10 years to sweep this event aside as "au natural". Geologists are slowly coming forward with the message that much of Japan will soon be below sea level due to the fault line and the extended shelf that lies deep off the Japan coast (50 to 100 miles). A little more heavy duty shaking, and you can kiss northern Japan goodbye. I know for a fact that what becomes knowledge to me or others, is usually knowledge that has been kept secret for awhile. There is every reason to believe that folks may migrate to the US or other places. On the business side of things, just think of consolidation. But not of companies, but of countries. What a unique way to restore productive capacity and competition in the global markets. Lots to think about ya know. But many too busy chasing their tails in this fucked up game we call the markets.
So you're advocating...what...sabotage?
To what end? Radiation affects everyone, even TPTB.
Oh, come on. There are NOT harmful levels of radiation anywhere else but Japan. Look at the hard data and get a grasp on acceptable levels of exposure. The first rule of thumb for all of industry for environmental releases is....dilution is the solution. I worked in that field for two decades when it was never allowed. Now its the norm. Take a look around and you'll see that I'm correct.
Sabotage? I don't know but I would say Japan had a limited timeline based on its geological foundation, i.e., living on top of an cured magma mountain. Some pretty deep shelves right off the coast there.
You believe there is no harmfull radiation outside Japan? I'm not saying you're wrong, I hope to Joe Pesci that you aren't, but on what are you basing your assessment? This page alone has provided links to insitutions reporting iodine in milk and food, I don't know how much to correct for zero-hedge tinfoil, you know? You've been in the field for 10 years, maybe you can enlighten me.
Would it be correct to say that you're implying causation, beyond the obvious potential for earthquake and tsunami, between Japan's location and the current Fukushima crisis? Why would it take a reactor meltdown to move people? If my house is going to be underwater, I'm gonna start looking for alternative real estate opportunities....don't nuke me bro.
you be the judge...don't trust anyones judgement but your own. Here's a exposure dose chart. As an example, to convert an air concentration, you would multiply the concentration by 20 m3 (adult respiration rate) but make sure the units are the same. That'll give you a daily dose. The same can be done with other media.

Care to add some context to that navy chart?
What is your opinion on internal emitters? I've read that it's a potential issue, consuming something that emits a "safe" dose, that continues to emit that does into your gut, making it dedidedly unsafe.
TToo much information, not enough clarity.
I'm interested in what dogismyth has to say on this matter, but my understanding is that there is a very big difference between external and internal emitters, and it has to do with quantum physics and the differences between the distances involved with each case. For external emitters, the distances are typically large, and the effects of distant radiation are fairly well understood and are reasonably quantified (even if that quantification is only a statistical measure of the probability of cancer or death.) For example, being exposed to solar gamma rays while flying in a jet, and the consequent risk of cancer.
For internal emitters, quantum effects dominate and the energies are very high due to the small distances involved. Additionally, there is no legitimate comparison between a one-time X-ray and ingesting particles that continuously radiates folks for their entire lives.
In my opinion, any comparisons between ingestion/inhalation of radionuclides and external exposure to radiation are not only scientifically illegitimate, but they are intentionally deceptive.
Why are these pro-nuke people taken seriously when they try to compare something that you can walk away from, from something that you cannot walk away from? Do they think everyone is scientifically illiterate?
the dose makes the poison (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dose_makes_the_poison)
a toxigen is usually accumulative (in its effect) regardless of the duration, dose or exposure if the target organ is affected.
your cells have a preset number of replications based on your genetic makeup. Radiation affects replication, among other DNA translation processes. With many toxigens, the body has natural defense mechanisms it relies upon to neutralize dangers to the cell. Not so with radiation. Radiation is a pure form of energy that does direct damage to certain molecular structures that are easily excitable (vibrational), like the bases that form DNA. Not sure if this is a correct analogy, but its like reacting a substance, say tap water, with sunlight to remove chlorine or other volatiles.
you also need to take into account that everyone is different in how radiation will affect them. The baseline allowable levels are for a young adult in very good health. To some, a very small amount can be very harmful while others can sustain doses which are much higher.
Exactly.
And there's no 'safe' dose of ionising radition, because it only takes one cell's nucleus' DNA to be hit in such a way that the cell becomes cancerous to kill you. What's the chance of this? Infinitisimal. But each 'impact' you subject your body's cells to is increasing the risk.
Yes, there are unavoidable, 'natural' levels of radiation that we are all subject to. But just because they're 'natural' levels doesn't mean they're not affecting your health, or your risk of developing cancer.
Texas?

UC berkeley site has some straws data, also: UCB Food Chain Sampling Results | The Nuclear Engineering Department At UC Berkeley
this is a bunch of stu's/profs/grad stu's doing research, collecting samples and bringing them to etcheverry hall and doing the analysis with their outa sight instruments, which i think might include specrtrometers. funky, too. they collect rainwater from the roof! one of their air samplers is a donated shop vac, same roof, to which they attach trapping filters, suck the air thru the filers, and then run downstairs to see what they got! the runoff samples are from the local creek and they test local grass (yay!) and cilantro.
so far, it seems the rain is not good. we seem to do much better w/out the precip landing, flowing, getting into plants. between rains, things die down.
oh! slightly radioactive strawerries in spaceway $3.99/lb plastic box. buy one/get one FREE!
those strawberries this time of year taste like soylent red
not a good taste, will pass next year
Japanese nuclear emergency has risen to Level 7? See, everything only goes UP! This is extremely bullish for radiation. It will never go down. Radiation to the moon! Radiation bears simply refuse to understand that the level will never be allowed to drop. As long as government is involved, don't fight the radiation pump, just trade it. For investors with a 30 year investment horizon, consider looking for newly discovered Cesium-137 deposit investment opportunities in and near Fukushima. For those with a 24,000 year horizon, consider Fukushima plutonium operators.

if they don't have the intelligence to make the decision or worship the almighty $$, then they deserve to fry like little pork bits in a takoyaki.
fried squid - yummy!

Incredibly bullish for TEPCO, outperform rating, immediate target 8, should be taken out any day now.
What goes around, comes around.
Where to safely put it cannot be found.
It fouls the air, water and the ground.
iIt kills or alters all life without a sound.
I rub my penis,
Stroking it furiously,
Plutonium cum
I AM CHUMBADUMBA! LOLOLOLOL!!

Radioactive haiku, bitchez!!!
I AM CHUMBADUMBA! LOLOLOL!
Trav7777, Denninger, Coulter, and every other mental midget that sneered at the implications of uranium and plutonium out of control and spewing long lasting poison into the air, ground, and water - shove it all up your collective butts. You deliberately gave a nod of assurance that YOU KNEW BETTER. You didn't. You only served to keep and put people into harm's way. Idiots. Screw off and die why dontcha.
