Fukushima Reactor 1 Drywell Reading Hits All Time High 204 Sieverts/Hour

Remember Fukushima, the worst nuclear catastrophe in the last 20 or so years which soon will surpass Chernobyl in total radioactive emissions into the environment? Well, the radiation in the now officially melted down Reactor 1 has just hit the highest ever reading since the crisis began, or 204 sieverts/hour, recorded in the drywell. Not Micro. Not Milli. Sieverts. It appears the "excuse" that the counters are broken isn't being used this time, although we are confident that the "spurious reading" allegations will fly.

On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone exposed to 204 Sv/hr drops to zero.

No need for any expensive watches or clocks to measure that timeline. 
An egg timer should be more than adequate :).

Chernobyl core zone had 36 at maximum (well, AFTER it burned out)

Should do wonders for the rice crop. And that tuna sushi in Japanese restaurants in CA might not be in such high demand.

And the world stays in denial to protect its energy future.

Relax, guys. The million-gallon-per-minute water pumps are not working, but they got it under control with a fire hose.

Send in the "bio-robots".

This story is very interesting....but not interesting enough for the MSM who are actually actively covering up the problem.

I complained to my local MSM station regarding the 'false pretences' under which they professed with 'phoney professors' who did not state their interests (usually in Nuclear research grants) who readily 'assured us' that this "was no Chernobyl".

They refuse to acknowledge what they have done - they blatantly refute all the evidence that the plant is melting down. They are complicit in a cover up in order to maintian the desire for nuclear energy in our own country.

When a corporate minority control the media - we're into fascism. Don't think there has to be a single leader (like Hitler, or Mussolini) - fascists can be a group as well as individuals.

That is simply put, but is one of the most astute comments on the subjects I have ever read because most people associate facists with a dicatator...

[Stares straight...]

The "F" mutated to "H".

20,400 rem/hr...sheesh, that shit will put some hair on your balls.  Of course, your balls will shrivel and die long before the hair grows in.
