Interactive Japan Wind Map
You asked for it, and here it is - a fully interactive Japan wind map which includes forecasting up to 3 days forward. By the looks of things, the Jetstream is about to start glowing in the dark.
We urge readers open the map with Chrome to use the autotranslate functions, as the text is in Japanese.
And in case one map is not enough, here is another interactive map of wind formations:

the rad levels ARE rising? We know they have risen...can you point me to a recitation of what they are now? I ask bc I'd sure like to know as information like that is probative in assessing whether conditions continue to worsen.
The West Coast USA has been gathering evidence that Chinese smog has been having an impact.
Maybe people should check into those facts, then make an assumption if that can make it, then radiation could possibly make it across the great Pacific.
Stay tuned for mention of the "New" Tourist attraction the Los Angeles/SanFran Borealis.
Radiation and smog are very different. Smog is caused by gaseous chemicals and fine particulates. Radiation is energy emitted by particles - in the case of a reactor meltdown those are solid particles that tend to be relatively heavy. They don't travel far on the wind...they "fall out", hence the name.
Once we understand the facts, we realize that your assumption is baseless and we ought to know better.
double post --
Their thesis: "It makes sense-- if you don't think about it!"
If your assertion was true, and heavy atoms/molecules/particles are unable to be transported globally, then please explain how lead has been continuously deposited in Greenland from mining snd smelting for the last 5000 years?
See: Hong S., et.al (1994) Greenland Ice Evidence of Hemispheric Lead Pollution Two Millenia Ago By Greek and Roman Civilizations. Science. vol 265. 23 September 1994. p. 1841-3.
The man knows nothing. Mercury is famous for global transport. Need to know the specifics for any given substance. Logic doesn't cut it for stuff like this==need facts.
I'm talking facts, calmly and logically. Are you?
Facts? I reference a scientific paper in the journal Science of all places, and you claim you are talking facts? That's funny because what I see are unsubstantiated assertions without any empirical evidence. Calm = being paid. Logically = NewSpeak for completely inverting the facts.

Oh, that's quite different. Ya see, radioactive particles have higher rates of brownian motion due to firing off all those neutrons. The brownian motion makes them disproportionately heavier, so they sink quicker than the lightweight lead you're talking about.
Ain't that so, TeamAmerika?
Nothing like a person trying to sound smart when they're spouting nonsense. One more time - we are not talking about individual atoms, so your "brownian motion" quip is a total non-sequitur.
But just for you, I can theorize that a plutonium atom is going to escape from Fukushima and be blown however many thousands of miles downwind you happen to be and land in your beer. You are completely right to be scared, because that atom has your name on it.
Now the question for you: is your life in danger from that single atom of plutonium? How say ye, Mr. Smartypants?
Team Am., you get the shitforbained moronic asswipe of the day, award! TONS of competition, for some reason, too.
i wonder if the reason could be that ZH is the only place on the planet where people are currently involved in intelligent discussions of real problems and issues?
ya know if i'd just spent decades trying to lie to people about safety and this happened, i'd send out the trolls, too.
nuclear waste safety? lol! every bit of fuel that was ever used at this site might still be there! what could be easier? what could be cheaper? what could be better for the bottom line? what could be more embarassing for a bunch of japanese "scientists" who spent entire careers being more concerned about "social and business conditioning, conventions, and appearances" than nuclear safety?
shameful, really. the whole fuking society seems to want to protect these "team players" from revealing the FACTS about what the hell is happening and how the fuck anyone could do anything this styooopid. when zH's ask questions, the trolls just multiply. doesn't change anything, tho, does it?
just give us the facts about the site and the reactors, fuels, wastes, and temps, and keep us informed. you should be embarassed and ashamed! the biggest nuclear and possibly environmental accident in the history of the planet happened to Y-O-U. yeah, there was a tsunami! now, what tf are we dealing with here, please, ladies and gentlemen from japan?
put your cards on the table face up, please, and step back so we can see them clearly, please.
NOW!!!
Ace of Spades, sir. Five of them. I always win.
We are discussing particles, not atoms. Lead deposited in Greenland in vanishingly small quantities that are only detectable with modern instrumentation. It did not kill the fish and birds...and that's my point.
I'm not saying radiation cannot reach around the globe (it can). I'm saying it cannot arrive here in significant quantities, hence all the worry is needless.
CANNOT arrive here in significant quantities, or WON'T IN THIS INSTANCE regardless of how FUBAR this gets?

Radiation leaking directly into the air from stricken Fukushima nuclear plant
Scores of terrified residents began to flee Tokyo today as a nuclear power plant destroyed by the tsunami threatened to send a cloud of radioactive dust across Japan.
The Fukushima Dai-ichi plant suffered a third reactor explosion last night, another reactor on the site caught fire - and officials today announced the wall of one reactor was cracked.
Radiation levels have soared acoss the country as radioactive material spewed directly into the atmosphere while emergency crews fought to avoid a catastrophic meltdown.
Levels of radiation were ten times higher than

Godzilla?... he's back!
To give you an idea how fucked the situation is.
Squirt guns and helicopters....
they will be pissing on it next...
I had thought they might use fireboats, but maybe there are none nearby enough to make a difference.
At this point, all efforts must be made to prevent a significant fire, even if this means some radionuclides end up in the ocean.
The boiling off of spent fuel storage pond water is more likely what has spiked the radiation levels, and this situation makes continued manual core cooling impossible for workers due to exposure.
The issue of #2 having cracked is less significant, because spent fuel rods with no water on them are "exposed to the atmosphere" and these have come out of a core and contain the same stuff.
If significant amounts of contaminants are in the atmosphere, these will show up on distant dosimeters and a shit lot higher than this "10x normal" crap that we're seeing hyped.
At this point, however, TEPCO should consider letting these things just melt, but do everything possible to prevent major fire at all costs. If they could melt this shit down into a large puddle right now without a fire starting or any explosions, they'd take it on all 4 reactors and the stored fuel. This would disperse the residual decay heat which is the cause of all of these problems. The complex would be hot as hell for a long time, but then the chernobyl complex continues to operate even though its core eventually melted down and ran through piping like lava
That Nuclear reactor textbook you picked up at the sale finally came in handy trav...beats my suggestion of taking a piss on it, i suppose.
Letting them melt might be ok for the reactors, provided they could contain the gasses, but they cannot. The fission product gasses must be vented into the atmosphere along with the water vapor, which is unacceptable.
They must not let the storage pools melt. They have 5+years worth of spent fuel in those pools. If the water would dissapear, and the fuel elements melt down, who is to say that big puddle wouldn't go critical? Is that storage pool designed to handle a fuel element+burning zircalloy lava? I doubt it.
are you referring to one of the six storage pools, each with decades of nuke waste in them, probably, or the pool of "tiger butter" if everything melts into one fondue? the latter, it seems, but, then, should you not include the mox in #3, which included the plutonium?
MOX fuel rods used in Japanese Nuclear Reactor present multiple dangers
this link points out that "The mixed oxide fuel rods used in the compromised number three reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi complex contain enough plutonium to threaten public health with the possibility of inhalation of airborne plutonium particles. The compromised fuel rods supplied to the Tokyo Electric Company by the French firm AREVA."
here is some of the thinking behind using mox: "One reason proponents of MOX reactor fuel support its use is because, once the fuel is burned in a reactor, it is so hot that terrorists would not be able to steal a fuel assembly."
wow! what logic! this shit is so dangerous BECAUSE it enhances our "war on terror". really? this french company wouldn't have anything to do with the banksters and the secret "intelligence" services i'll bet, either!
“When the plutonium in the fuel rods goes into a reactor for commercial power, a very little of it is going to be consumed. I don’t know what percentage, maybe half percentage or something like that, but it’s going to generate an extraordinary amount of contamination throughout the fuel rods…,” says William Lawler, an expert on radioactive waste.
Lawless, who worked at the DOE’s Savannah River Site and first exposed massive contamination there in the early 1980s, says MOX being used as a way of controlling weapons proliferation is a myth: “You will decrease the amount of plutonium minutely but you will increase the amount of waste inside the fuel rod greatly into something that is very contaminated for a long period of time and they think is that it would be too deadly to handle for a terrorist…This is not necessarily following the best scientific plan or the best engineering decision; this is more a political decision, the MOX.”
somebody wants to talk about the dangers and how fuking styoopid this is, half the fuking pentagon probaly comes onsite, here. FUK you and the banksters, rothchilds, and israeli mossad, too! these trolls have their heads so far up their asses, they must be at least full bird colonels, altho some of them seem like CW3's who are even more pig-headed and narrow-minded than colonels, but can fly rotary winged aircraft or something. go to the officers' club and relax, you dickwads!
somebody sez they don't like being downwind of this shit and spiders start dropping from the lights in the ceiling to tell US we are irrational and "UNSCIENTIFIC", our memories are hazy, and we don't know what an atom is compared to dust, and, btw, what if a particle of plutonium is marked for you? is that yer problem?
your doubts are real, mali. certifiable, too, or this cunt wouldn't spend all day doing this with her "little friends", now, would she?
Um, likely most of those, not to mention the bulk of the commercial/fishing/pleasurecraft fleet have been washed inland and thoroughly trashed by a little thing called the tsunami.
Huh? That is absolutely retarded. Seriously...
Trav, your penchant for leaping down the throat of anyone who questions your peak-oil alarmism, and your obvious deep interest in nuclear power, leads me to ask:
Are you a nuclear energy industry shill?
Peak oil is real. It has happened in most oil-producing nations already. It appears to have occurred globally for C&C.
I am NO fan of nuclear power. Anyone who has read what I have written on this topic knows that I have CLEARLY called out lightwater reactors as inherently unsafe and inferior as compared to pebble bed reactors for terrestrial power generation and that the only reason we are using these things instead of PBMR for this purpose is essentially because of Hyman Rickover's need for nuclear reactor technology for the navy, which carried over to navies for France and the UK as well. This, plus the preeminence of General Electric during the period of the early nuclear age, is why we are in this shitstorm, why TMI, why Chernobyl.
PBMRs cannot melt down, they cannot have criticality accidents...there are real physics reasons why but I will not go into the pithy details of doppler broadening and the other technical specifics.
I have ALSO, on the PO threads, LAUGHED at the cornucopians who claimed we could nuclear our way out of an energy crunch. If you think that makes me a "shill" for the nuclear industry simply because I tell people to stop the hysteria over the end of Japan or the end of the world, the notion of heavy radionuclides raining down on the USA from this reactor, etc., then you are quite clearly a fool.
huh? WTF is wrong with a meltdown?
I know it "SOUNDS" horrific, but it has already occurred inside reactor vessels.
The only negative side effect would be gaseous radionuclides assuming there were no steam explosion or fire.
If you have to choose between meltdown and fire (which ends with another meltdown) you take the former

IIRC most of the Pacific bomb test fallout (which was basically delivered directly to the jet stream) actually ended up getting deposited in upstate New York and New England. Interesting read, he used AEC and other monitoring programs to reverse engineer what was happening. Makes you feel like a test subject if you were alive then, I was.

Bernanke QE2 is doing wonders...
That job is currently taken by one of those reviled public sector employees that will be dead in a few weeks from radiation poisioning. There are some free charged lines with nozzles available for bondholder apologists, like Mish and other free market shills, who want to initiate austerity on the backs of firemen. We wouldn't want to burden the already wealthy in any way...
Don't worry. There will always be those committed to public service, so those committed to greed and ego can rest easy and continue their plunder of those who actually produce something of value.
I'm not normally conspiracy-minded, but this is pretty fucking strange:

The site map was working last night, now down. It is a map of radiation levels around the US.

The site is NOT down. It's just overwhelmed. Nothing strange about it.

More VBN from NHK: Unit 4 storage pool getting no remediation/cooling at all
TEPCO: Spraying water from air "difficult"
Tokyo Electric Power has found it difficult to spray water from a helicopter to cool down a storage pool for spent nuclear fuel inside the No.4 reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
The reactor was undergoing an inspection when the quake occurred. The firm says the temperature of the storage pool for spent nuclear fuel was 84 degrees Celsius on Monday morning, more than double the normal level. More recent temperatures are not available due to a technical failure.
On Tuesday morning, an explosion was heard and the roof of the building that houses the No.4 reactor was damaged. Tokyo Electric Power, the operator of the plant, says it appears a lack of coolant caused the fuel rods to be exposed, adding that a hydrogen explosion might have occurred.
If the reactor can't be cooled, the fuel rods may emit hydrogen or melt down. Tokyo Electric Power considering pouring water onto the storage pool in the containment vessel through a hole on the roof created by the blast.
However, the firm concluded that it would be extremely difficult to spray water from a helicopter as the hole is dozens of meters from the storage pool and a helicopter can only carry a limited amount of water on a single flight.
Workers are currently unable to approach the storage pool due to the high radiation levels. Tokyo Electric Company is studying the possibility of using fire engines and other options to inject water into the reactor.
Wednesday, March 16, 2011 03:04 +0900 (JST)
if they do not get water into this pool or the storage ponds boil off, 2 things will occur: first is that we will see a huge spike in radiation levels from dosimeters at the plant, but a sharp decline over distance.
This will prevent humans from being near enough to fix the problem. Then, these rods may melt down or catch fire. Zirconium burns at like 2000 degrees or something; this would not be a good situation.
They need to run a fuckin hose up there with a crane or something
Where have all the robots gone...at least fly one of those little remote control helicopters in there with a camera...as the European Parliament was recently told by the EU energy commissioner, they have just about lost control of events.
They don't even know what that floor of the building looks like now.
They need to run a fuckin hose up there with a crane or something
Not going to happen, the die is cast given the radation levels, all four of these reactors are going to melt down before this is over. Earlier post from the avatar of bill the cat,
As Robert Alvarez, a former nuclear energy adviser to President Bill Clinton, has written, if these waste containers, euphemistically called "ponds," were to be damaged in an explosion and lose their cooling and radiation-shielding water, they could burst into flame from the resulting burning of the highly flammable zirconium cladding of the fuel rods, blasting perhaps three to nine times as much of these materials into the air as was released by the Chernobyl reactor disaster. (And that's if just one reactor blows!) Each pool, Alvarez says, generally contains five to ten times as much nuclear material as the reactors themselves. Alvarez cites a 1997 Nuclear Regulatory Commission study that predicted that a waste pool fire could render a 188-square-mile area "uninhabitable" and do $59 billion worth of damage (but that was 13 years ago).
so if the fallout falls into the ocean, what does that do to the fish?
simpsons three eyed fish?
final nail in the oceans coffin?
overfished,warmed,oiled,nuked,polluted,garbage filled,....how much more can it take?
Well, this will sounds very crazy to some but if you follow the work of some Ph.D. like David Jacobs, Dr John E. Mack there is this theme of aliens abducting humans but when you look deeper there is this sense of them doing it now as in the near future our DNS may be not so good anymore, one may just wonder why..

Since they are cooling down reactor with sea-water, where is the used water going? Back into the sea!! Does this contaminates sea? Is the sea food unfit for consumption? Just wondering.
The seawater turns to steam and goes into the atmosphere, which is part of what is causing the rise in radiation in the area.
At 1,200 degrees Celsius, the zirconium casings of the fuel rods react with the cooling water and create hydrogen.(which can explodes as it contacts oxygen) At 2,200 C, the uranium fuel pellets inside the rods start to melt, the beginning of a meltdown.
usually ,if you pour water on something that hot it just goes off into a plume of toxic smoke
and contaminates the atmosphere...
plutonium in storage has a toxic shelf life of 250000 years,
so we need a lot of water cooling in the near future...
The counter referred by Tyler earlier shows that the radiation level is going up during the last 4 hours. And Reuters reports: "The Japan Nuclear Safety Agency is saying the Fukushima No. 4 reactor roof is cracked".

Los Angeles Times - Thomas H. Maugh II - Ralph Vartabedian - 45 minutes ago
A fire -- now extinguished -- at a spent fuel pool on the roof of reactor No. 4 has authorities concerned. The fuel rods in the pond are not enclosed in a containment vessel.
If a fire in fuel pool on the roof of No.4 is a problem.
We better hope they weren't storing rods on the roofs of No 3 and No 1.
Because those roofs aren't there any more.

Have they taken it offline ?
The radiation levels spike when U.S. markets are closed, then they subside to normal levels when the U.S. markets are open.
There's strong, some would claim perfect, correlation.
a) It is not the Tyler who spreads the fear. It is the lack of information that could be trusted.
b) When it came to Chernobil, staying at home vs parading outside (USSR gov only came clean a week after the event) made the huge difference.
c) Myself living in CA, I am staying indoors for the next few weeks. It does not cost much to be a little bit paranoid, however it is much better than being sorry.
d) I don't just blindly fear "radiation". However the assumption that in case of the meltdown some radioactive dust will be blown high into the athomsphere and carried out far away is rather reasonable.
This seems like a sensible. reasonable plan.
But didn't you get the memo that disasters are the time when we're supposed to go shopping?

A few days back, I had found an online radiation monitoring site with real-time data on radiation levels at maybe a dozen sites in the lower 48 at: http://www.radiationnetwork.com/RadiationNetwork.htm. The site is now down.
EPA claims they have real-time monitoring systems, but if anyone can find a single piece of data more recent than 2009, I would like to know about it. The EPA website has clearly been designed by professional obfuscators, whose aim is to make access to hard data virtually impossible.
In any event, if anyone has a link to real-time radiation monitoring sites in the US, could you please pass along a link?
I am working under the assumption that the government plan at this point is to keep the people in the dark while they lie through their teeth about the actual risk.
