Fukushima Accident Assessment Officially Raised To Maximum, Level 7

Tyler Durden's picture




 

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.

But, but but....coal is still more dangerous!  See the cnbc article on it:

http://www.cnbc.com/id/42539862

 

"The fly ash emitted by a power plant -- a by-product from burning coal for electricity -- carries into the surrounding environment 100 times more radiation than a nuclear power plant producing the same amount of energy"

"The Fukushima meltdown may mark a high point in anti-nuclear hysteria"

 Stop being such a contrarian and join the "winning" side.  That's really what it's all about, being on the side that the majority of everyone else is on, right or wrong.

i haven't really figured him out even after being a gold member.  I know he's in to preserving the status quo since his wealth will also be preserved, thus his ambition to "fix" the system.  I was banned several times for bringing anything up about 9-11.  If he is so smart, how come he cannot 't see the holes in the gov story?  Or why does he refuse to allow a discussion?  He seems intelligent from the articles he writes, but is he really writing them?  When intelligence is placed above and beyond common sense, I usually start mumbling things like....this guys an educated derelict.  I wish him well though.  He's a single dad and does care about the issues more so than most.

The bombs dropped over Hiroshima & Nagasaki contained less than 20 kilograms of fissionable material.
The Hiroshima bomb was Uranium 238 and the Nagasaki bomb was Plutonium 235.
The blasts released large amounts of heat, Gamma, Beta and Alpha radiation. The fissionable products were less that 20 kilograms. The Fukushima plant had 1700 tons of fissionable material. A nuclear power plant is not designed to create a similar fission explosion. The possibility of global contamination is unthinkable with the amount of material on hand at the plant. I sympathize with the Japanese people. The fissionable products left over from the nuclear explosions were eventual removed by removing topsoil. The topsoil is contaminated for thousand of years. The Bikini Atolls in the Marshall Islands, used by the US for nuclear testing is still uninhabitable. The MSM does not know the difference from Plutonium to Bolognaium.

This will be the new marker for the radiation severity scale, this will become a level 10 on a 7 scale at least.  Also more and more radiation is showing up in the environment in ever increasing dosages.  The longer this thing keeps belching out radiation, the more it will get into the environment.

An anecdote, fwiw:

About 3 weeks ago I ordered one of these for $540:  http://seintl.com/products/inspector%2B.html

No one is taking orders anymore. Last week one sold on Ebay for $1,250.  There hasn't been one on Ebay since. Another one, same model but with an external sensor, is now bid up to $1,575 with a little under 2 days left.

To my surprise (and the vendor's credit!) I've got a tracking number and it ships tomorrow.  Might sell it, might not.

Jeez what disaster.

shirley maclaine was on oprah today talking about ufo's and reincrnation and all types of previously ridiculed/crackpotted topics that are now being allowed to stream out into the mainstream audiences via corporate-owned tv channels. (Before you ask, i was visiting my parents and my mother was watching oprah)

Now that fukushima is degenerating into some type of Tokyo Shock movie and the financial market is literally a keno machine in Atlantic City with deflation and armageddon as one option and hyperinflation and slower armageddon as the other option, the question is, what is really going on here?

i mean people like to come here and vent using gallows humor and whatnot, admire WB7's unique artistic expressions, but really. Why the fuck is a legend like shirley maclaine talking about ufo's on a show like oprah WHILE the country is literally falling apart, which leads into questions like why is the media now beginning to ask the RIGHT questions, like "is the two-party system leading us into gridlock?" (bloomberg) and cnbc is hosting more seemingly independent-minded analysts and traders.... i think we are truly in the quote unquote new world order. It's HAPPENING, but you CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT. You see, you neighbor/cousin/mother/coworker is watching and being brainwashed by the NWO as we eneter into truly chaotic times, but if you ACTUALLY BROACH THE SUBJECT WITH THEM VERBALLY, YOU GET A BLANK STARE CAUSED BY MISFIRING NEURONS. really people. Some of you may not even understand what i am trying to get at here.

 

it's almost as if exposure to the subject matter desensitizes and sucks you into the fold. Meanwhile they are employing their highly sophisticated hegelian tactics and strategems to neuter, pacify and confuse the entire population of the seat of the global empire. And as a result of writing this post i have been secretly blacklisted and i will never be able to get another job ever again, despite my impeccable credentials and nonexistant criminal history.

Really though, does anyone have any serious observations along these lines that aren't quippy one-liners to impress your "best friend at the dance who also didn't bring a date"??   

No one will warn us before the radiation apocolypse, or the failure of nationwide food distribution, or the release of the next deadly worldwide epidemic, or any other mass genocidal human-killer. I've seen enough in my life to know that the physical "realities" we see and hear around us are the true game. And adepts aware of such surely do not share their knowledge with others. I have been professionally involved in the financial markets for 8 years now and it is totally fucked. I mean totally. It doesn't even make sense anymore. I am making jokes about this shit with guys who are worth tens of millions and they don't have a fucking clue what they are doing. they are literally sleepwalking through this shit because "fuck it. it is what it is".

Sounds eerily like the calm before the storm. Or the "lights out"

I am not quite sure exactly what you're getting at, however I left the financial industry (equity brokerage) after 10 years in mid January.  Since about 2007 I had a feeling that things were unreal, nothing mattered to anybody other than whatever analyst report was published that morning.  After leaving things started to become clear and make sense, my brain started working again.

I think the problem is from elementary and high school we're taught to chose a career.  Then we go to school and train for it and learn a trade.  Everybody memorizes existing theories, methods and formulas and comes out ready to go into the office and do whatever they're told.  So in short we have people who spend their formative and years as a young adult learning to fit in, while their powers of intuition and creativity are never exercised.

This is true with finance people, this is where politicians are at, central bankers and the media.  This isn't in their textbooks and they have no idea, their whole lives they have worked towards being a part of the "system" rather than using their instincts and asking what the system could do for them, it kind of becomes a religious belief in what is mistakenly referred to as "science".  

Which leads me to another point, I myself coming to the realization I couldn't continue in my field was outright terrifying.  It was really all I knew, and try getting another job at 35 years old when you're resume says "institutional equity trader" or sitting in an interview and telling them you have experience with "working volatility arbitrage and risk arb trades".  I shop blocks, big blocks OK?  Haha, but I did it on my terms and it took me 4 years and some help from some wise people I'd confide in. Imagine everything is going along smoothly, you're making money, you get legless drunk every thursday night on the expense account and now you've got to contemplate life as you knew it is under threat?  And these people have not developed their powers of intuition or creativity so they're paralyzed.

hey, acrabbe @# 1159742! 

i wld say you caught shirley, oprah, & mo and the impressions had a pretty amazing effect on ya, here!  i like shirley maclaine!  just positive impressions as a dancer and actress. something very forthright and open about her.  when she started with the ufo's i was fascinated by the pscychology involved and the types of memories involved.

i just wiki'd her.  she's warren beatty's sister and played coco chanel 2 years ago for a movie/miniseries thingy.  

she's pretty clear abt the space cases!  obviously, she has had some truly incredible experiences, subjectively.  she is convinced they are also objective.  i don't think they need to be to be real.  i think it is quite possible for people to have very deep psychological experiences and be convinced that something objective happened, simply b/c they are in no ways equipped to understand that parts of themselves could be this fuking weird. 

a person connects w/ a part that is quite deep. hidden. powerful.  they see and hear things differently.  really differently. when it is over, they realized they were in contact with some amazing truth.  they might say:  "i was visited by an angel."  and, the quantum envelope of whether this happened objectively is thus  resolved:  yes!

when we go on Normal Meltdown, all kindsa stuff happens.  my 2 fave bumper stickers are:  "i brake for hallucinations"  and "dude! where's my country?"

oprah's no dummy!  shirley is a truly artistic, hard-assed, card-carrying thespian and one of the world's most fascinating, interesting women, and she's only 77! 

you ask:  "Why the fuck is a legend like shirley maclaine talking about ufo's on a show like oprah WHILE the country is literally falling apart,...?" well, acrabbe, maybe it was just for you!   lol!

interestingly, oprah & the MSM will leave the audience with:  Is shirley maclaine crazy? OR are UFO's real?

this is why i no longer subject myself to the MSM.  psychologically false dichotomies.  streaming and unending like fuking zH trolls.  always, always always innocently deflecting to the false. like each of us, including me.

i don't have any problem at all w/ shirley maclaine.  i think she is perfectly sane and a really cool lady, too.  and i do not interpret her experiences at all like she does.

My view is that the majority of people fall into 1 of 3 categories: (1) too dumb to understand the enormity of what is going on, (2) sufficiently amoral to continue to 'get theirs' and believe that their $$$ will protect them, (3) otherwise intelligent but have made an unconscious decision to ignore the obvious because the reality is just too damn frightening

Sometimes I wish I could be one of the above, life would be a whole lot simpler.

It is odd (and unsettling) that the main-stream media isn't really following this at all.   Meanwhile the gang over that TOD, who tend to be a bit more...erm, levelheaded and data driven than those here seem to think things are pretty dire as well.

At the very least, the supply chain disruption as well as the energy and food shocks will seriously impair Japan's economy for a while.  Even if the fallout from this isn't as bad as some here would have you believe, the economic aspects are almost certainly bad.  You cannot efficiently produce when you've lost a significant chunk of your energy generation capacity.  And if you lose a good bit of your arable land, that's another dagger.

Who will purchase food exports from Northern Japan?  I suspect there are people who will shy away from all exports from Japan if possible.  And who will buy fish caught in their waters?  Heck, global fishing may suffer from this. 

So to go back to the original observation, the MSM has not covered this story because even if the worst fears aren't realized, even the perception that things are bad are likely to lead to people panicking.  That in itself is very scary indeed.

no no, some of your shit is downright bigoted. but it comes down to a difference of opinion. you honestly feel that certain races and/or ethnic persuasions have lower iq's and are therefore lower forms of life / deserve less respect. i don't adhere to that line of thinking. chalk that up to you getting wedgied by the black kids, or your girlfriend cheating on you with a hispanic dude. i don't know. it's kind of like the "65% of crack users are white but whites are 5% of crack arrests" type phenomenon. you just don't know what you don't know, but you assume you know alot more than you actually do. hence your disfigured worldview, despite your highly numerate and/or impressive-upon-first-glance credentials and knowledge.

either way. if you were as evolved as you claim to be, you would know better. so you lose.

I will defend Trav here.

Some races do have lower IQ's. It's not a matter of opinion, it's factual. Native Africans have the lowest IQ's on the planet. Asians have the some of the highest IQ's on the planet. Humans of African persuasion are also more impusle oriented and they account for a higher crime rate as such...they have higher rates of rape, theft, and violent crime, not just in America but in any country/continent throughout the world.

He has never said any race deserves less respect or that they are lower forms of life.

Didn't IBM experiment with the hiring of employees with high IQs in the seventies?  That didn't go too well from what I read.  People with high IQs also seem to be abnormally afflicted with the "socially awkward" gene as compared to say Australian aborigines and other lesser IQed individuals---an easily observable phenomenon, btw.

i checked this website out. the data outcomes are skewed because there is no control for bias in the collection of data. For example, they claim that the disproportionate imprisonment of white vs black males is normal due to the underlying criminlity distributions. However, those ciminality distributions are based on arrest rates. But how do you control for the flooding of black neighborhoods with drugs via secret (and now confirmed) gov ops? Drug distribution leading to general decay in the surrounding neighborhoods and family structures? Then initiate a war on drugs and what do you get? highly disproportionate incarceration rates. 

the data is being used to justify a particular bias, meanwhile the data is not being controlled for extraneous variable factors that are difficult to quantify because they are qualitative and HIGHLY skewing

Is it possible that these measurements of "low iq's", impulse orientation, higher rates of rape, theft and violent crime have any thing to do with colonilaism, slavery, false/biased media reporting, statistical manipulation, etc? Is it even possible? Did you know that 65% of crack users are white but they account for 5% of crack arrests? How can you explain that? I mean, it's easy to explain, but how would YOU explain it? Do you think that might have anything to do with the judicical system in the US? Conviction rates based on race? Plea deal/no plea deal based on quality on lawyer which is based on income and race? The police patrols based on property taxes? Bob Dabolina you're just another nut from some squirrel. Anyway, not trying to get into some moral argument about race and ignorance. You should get out more. Meet more people. You know there are whites who act just as crazy as those ignorant blacks you like to focus on. And maybe the "high IQ" asians are so good at math and science because of the nature of their highly populated, highly competitive education system that DE-emphasizes other forms of intelligent communication? I cannot emphasize "highly populated" enough. The most common person on this planet is an asian male, so naturally if there are more of them there is a higher probability that they will have a higher proportion of X. In this case you re talking about IQ's. Now I'm rambling. The point is that you throw out bullshit that you've heard but haven't really thought about. Don't you think you owe it to yourself to think a little more deeply about certain issues? God forbid you actually share these thoughts outside of your usual circle of dumbfucks or encounter someone from one of these "low IQ" animal groups and are put to shame becuase of your own short-sightedness. and I'm sure you have kids or neices/nephews who you push these backward views upon...

cite the 65/5 and explain its relevance to real violent crime.

Do you ACTUALLY think that this somehow can be taken to mean that whites and asians are really committing murders but that they are not being arrested or prosecuted for it?

Because if that is what you are trying to say by use of this irrelevant and likely untrue factoid, then you are quite clearly an idiot.

The size of the population does not affect its average IQ.  Racial makeup does.  Fact.

Ignore facts at your own peril, dude.

Those of you who talk shit about "circles" and whatnot; you are usually the people who live in your little whitopias and have one or two token blacks around you if that.  You're not only full of shit but preeminent hypocrites.

The shit you write is rambling nonsense, illogical, fallacious, and stupid.  You refute nothing by saying "get out there and meet people."  WTF does that have to do with the FACT that blacks have lower average IQs?

dude, I don't "believe" that certain races and/or ethnic persuasions have lower IQs, they are TESTED AND DO IN FACT HAVE LOWER IQs.

I am not making this fking shit up, dude.  There's simply no emotional basis whatsoever for it; I grew up in a whitopia believing (as taught) that everybody was fungible and I simply found out otherwise just as soon as I was introduced to reality.  I encourage all of you idjits in your whitopias to pull your heads out of your asses.

Wherever you got that stat about crack use...cite it.  I can and have cited my stats.  Blacks very reliably commit slightly over half of the violent crime in the US, year in and year out.  That this is true is so easily proven that it should be accepted ab initio.  Only an ignoramus would contest it.

YOU are the one with the disfigured worldview because the basic ASSUMPTIONS you operate on are flawed!

Imagine if you were in my position, talking to someone like you who doesn't seem to understand reality, who is clearly very ignorant of it, doesn't know the data and really has a ton of wishful thinking on the matter.

Yeah, man, I get it...you really really really want to believe that the equality myth is true.  But it's not.  It's a myth.  And this is why you and people like you are CONFOUNDED as year after year the data and reality keep confirming what I am saying.  It's because your beliefs are bullshit myths.

The mental contortions I see people like you go through daily to AVOID accepting plain reality staring you in the face really amaze me.

WTF would I "know better" if I were more evolved, you cretin?  That blacks really DO have IQs equal to asians?  You're a freakin moron if you believe that.  You believe in a freaking fairy tale.

You freethinkers need to seriously pull your heads out of your asses and start CONFRONTING uncomfortable truths.  But you are incapable, emotionally, just like all the "sheeple" and "lemmings" you decry on a DAILY BASIS around here who you say won't take the red pill and who want to stay sheep.  That's YOU.

Because if you actually take a cold hard look at the facts, you are going to very rapidly - if you have a logical bone in your body - conclude that what you thought was real was in fact bullshit.  It flies in the face of all you've had drilled into your head since day one.  What looks like injustice wasn't, equality is phony, everyone is not the same.

Believing otherwise leads your mind into all kinds of shitty places, like the moral equivalence box, self-destruction, and a whole host of other dissonant states.

Notice how you argue ad hominem.  Rather than refute my facts you make up absurd accusations like my wife cheated with a hispanic or I got wedgied by black kids.  Your argument on that basis alone is FAIL.

Here's the rub, Beavis.  It is usually something that happens in your personal life that turns you into a bigot, or worse.  That's why the wedgie/hispanic thing is so funny.  You must have really liked the girl.  You can get all Bell Curve if you want to, but a man with your apparent education who still believes that IQ plays a larger factor than family upbringing and education (both of which generally being dictated by economic situation in the US) in achievement and good citizenry is obviously carrying some pretty heavy shit around.  Maybe God gave you a small prick.  Maybe you got cut from Varsity football and blame the colored folks.  Hitler got rejected by the Jews academically, which formed his bias. The anthrax mailer got rejected by some sorority girl.  History is full of examples.  

Using fancy sentences to say stupid shit doesn't change the fact you're still saying stupid shit.

Where the fuck do you think IQ COMES FROM, moron?  Your PARENTS.  Stupid IS as stupid DOES.  Dumb people raise dumb children in shitty environments.  Smart people raise children in good environments.

In fact, you clueless oaf, they did a study a few years ago comparing high IQ kids against low IQ kids and found that IRRESPECTIVE of environment that high IQ kids SELF-STIMULATED and constructed an environment for themselves with higher amounts of mental acuity related tasks.

Also, if you are not too stupid to get this, but there ARE longitudinal studies, TONS OF THEM, whose subjects are identical twins separated at birth where they check the eventual outcome to compute correlative factors around environment, income, etc., and HEREDITY dominates.

this is a fact known by everyone who has ever adopted.  The bottom line is that you are totally ignorant.  Look at how you fucking defend something unsupported by fact!  You are a LEMMING and a SHEEPLE.

You haven't stated any facts. You've just repeated myths, while at the same time declaring my views as myths. The fact is that all statistics you may have heard or seen supporting your views were themselves biased and based on an agenda. The statistics in regards to conviction rates between equally burdened defendants of different races bear out the notion that the judicial system is still flawed. it doesn't take a leap of the imagination to understand that America being a country founded on genocide of the Natives and slavery of millions of African is still a little biased against "people who look different". Recall the treatment of the Irish and the italians. Yet today, they blend in, but blacks and mexicans will never blend in, so the lowest common denominator of human character is exploited via racial supremacy propaganda. 

Someone like you will grow up and make decisions affecting others with those bigoted views at the forefront of your decision-making process. THAT is America. THAT is why the data is skewed and the actual results reflect the ignorance and institutionalized racism. Don't run from your white fear/guilt. You need to confront it so you can be rid of it, because there's NO reason for you to feel guilty/scared. But there's also no reason for you to think on such a hateful level either.

Your view seems to suggest that you gain some sort of ego support via reinforcement of superiority by thinking that other people cannot possibly be as intelligent as you, based on race. Or maybe you gain some comfort in feeling as though you understand the world? Whe truly you don't. Anyway. I won't convince you of your own ignorance. Maybe you will have a change of heart before you stop breathing in this lifetime. Hopefully it will be well before that day, so you can lead a richer life.

not the pattern i would have expected, offhand.

don't know what the fuk_u fans will look like.  i think the japan/pacific current and the jet stream will dominate, dammit.   i'm not sure we'll even get straight data as it is collected.  why should that start now?  all righty!  now that one or two websites are following the story, let's be sure to tell the whole freakin world how bad it is, ok?

In their own article the story is that the level was raised to 7 i.e. passed tense as in HAS RAISED.

How about the truth Bloomberg.

THANK YOU ZEROHEDGE FOR BEING OUT IN FRONT OF THIS STORY!

And its about time that those dopes who just took everything spewing out from Japan, TEPCO, our Govt. the UN, the MSM at their word admit they were wrong and shut up!

The vindication of this site and those who took the time to make some sense out of pictures, video, verified fact, nuclear experts who were not on the payroll of some MSM outlet or university and people reporting on the ground is a sad and horrible victory.  

Sad because we were right about the seriousness of this disaster.  Horible because at this point the MSM has beaten the story down so much that nobody seems to care that this problem is getting exponentially worse every week!

Clearly, the radiation risks are not big enough to change our travel plans (even to Tokyo or Kyoto), and certainly not big enough to stop drinking the water or even the food even close to the evacuation zone."   Some Nuclear Industry Payee Named Brennan...
