Xenon 133 Dispersion Animation - Radionuclide Has Blanketed Entire United States
Update: we are truly amazed that presenting what is a pure fact without any spin associated to it, can generate such an outbreak of insecurity and outright fear-driven responses. We had always expected that readers here can receive and interpret facts as presented, instead of demanding filtering for what some deem is unpleasant information. We urge that sub-segment to immediately and permanently orient their attention to other media outlets that does the prefiltering for them, as per the government's mandate of not spreading panic.
Radioactive Xenon 133 (5.243 day half life) has now reached the entire Eastern seaboard, and soon will likely cover the entire world.
Additionally, below is a projection of radioactive Iodine over Japan...
And radioactive Cesium over the Pacific

You were right, I should have listened.
Say, they prob. could get the purchase order for those pumps cleared until management was sure the blown up ones wouldn't work :-D
BTW, for those over-reacting to the current nuclear situation in Japan ~ Our own government in the late 40s and into the 50s detonated HUNDREDS of atomic weapons above and below ground in Arizona, just about 100 miles or so away from California. Quit listening to the over sensationalized media, people!

And bazillions over the Pacific; my fave was Starfish Prime ... was blamed for knocking out street lights on the big Island in Hawaii ...
If not for the Pacific ocean, all hell would have broken loose by now.
Ahh, but they were careful to detonate only when the wind was blowing towards Utah. Really. And that includes the underground tests.
Maybe you could ask John Wayne and Agnes Moorehead how that worked out for them.

I actually suggest reading them for a while, if only to find out which people on this site have been secretly anti-Semitic this whole time! Try to guess!
(On that note I say: certain Israelis certainly have done douchey things, of course, and when they do them to us I don't like it, but they're looking out for their own country, just like everyone else does. They're just ordinary people.)
Yeah... because criticism of a rascist, apartheid state is intrinsically 'anti-semitic'.
I guess if I criticise US foreign policy that proves I hate American ex-pats.

"The Jod-131 of values in Alaska (station sand POINT) was within the range of mBqm-3, in Canada (station Sydney, Vancouver) an order of magnitude under it. A health relevance does not exist."
In other words, a few milli-becquerels per cubic millimeter, or a few hundred milli-becquerels per cubic centimeter.
Now, what is allowed for Xe-133?

DRAXIMAGEÒ Xenon Xe 133 Gas
Page 1 of 4 November 13, 2008
SECTION 1. CHEMICAL PRODUCT & COMPANY IDENTIFICATION
Product Name: Xenon Xe 133 Gas Synonyms: Xenon Xe-133 Gas
Category: Diagnostic radiopharmaceutical for inhalation
Airborne Exposure Limits: NRC Occupational concentration limit is 1 x 10-4 μCi/mL of air.
Math:1X10-4 micro curies is 100,000 pico curies. A milliliter is a cubic centimeter at STP. There's a hundred cubic millimeters in a cubic centimeter.
100000 pico curies = 3700000 millibecquerel http://www.translatorscafe.com/cafe/units-converter/radiation-activity/c...
So the occupational limit for Xenon-133, which is also used as an inhalation diagnostic gas, is 3,700,000 millibecquerel per milliliter. The German dispersal model that shows the Entire United States Blanketed!" by Xenon-133, even though he doesn't state his source term, is predicting concentrations "within the range of mBqm-3."
Anyone who falls for this scare-mongering is stupid.
Something to keep in mind,I have a hot source, but it is vitrified...no way to inhale it.It is easy to keep it shielded and be safe.
But when Cesium 137 and Strontium 90 come floating by, they ARE inhalable.Will they kill you quickly....no.But they may kill you in the future, just when you wanted to see the Grand-kids.INHALING RADIOACTIVE ISOTOPES=FAIL.
Plutonium?Only a tiny particle inhaled=lung cancer.
On west coast and the car is packed.
You could shelter in place.If TPTB actually gave a shit enough to give a good fallout forecast, that is.But they don't.I note the levels are really not that bad...but to not even get the information for an informed choice=EPIC FAIL.Thanks US .gov.sphincter.poke!
A wise man named Joe Vialls said Smoking natural tobacco was a good anti-lung cancer remedy.

Yes. Once the Poles elected Lech Welesa to lead Poland into a semi-democracy, the East is now the West.

Fantastic choices we have here in the fuckin states.
It's not just in the States, here in OZ we have the same red vs blue crap.
From what I can see virtually all "western democracies" have versions of the same non-choice.
Or anyplace run by zionists and Israel, for that matter.
Yup those joos run everything from Japan to Australia to the US to Europe... EVERYthing is their fault! We need a final solution!
Oh. Wait. Some psychopathic mass-murderer already tried that. It didn't work out too well for anyone, did it?
LOL...the man apparently thinks there's a synagogue on every corner in every major city in Japan...or sumpin...I ain't quite figgered it out yet either.
It's as if graft, greed and corruption are specific to one race or people instead of a human weakness...a very weird psychosis.
Nm, as it turns out (and I speak for deep inside knowledge here), all things nasty in Japan (particularly in Tokyo), principally Drugs and prostitution and real estate to a degree are run by a ruthless Israeli mafia. Ruthless and exploitative. And you know what? Same thing here in India. Those de-mobbed soldiers are a perfect cover, travellign from country to country and all around every country. What do they call them? Mules.
They own every major drug growing and consumption center, in partnership with Yakuza, Indian Mafia or by themselves.
So, Jews or no jews, those damn isralies are no fun to be with. ACtually it's th esame in San Francisco and New York, as two examples. Any Israeli panding in these two centers can disappear into a black-marketing or drug running job, get a fake drivers license, green card marriage.... name it. And ruthless again.
It's one of those smoke and fire things. To deny it you either have not experienced real life onthe streets or a wilful or have an indoctrinated belief system that is hard to let go of.
Is it the state? Is it the people? Is it Mossad? Planned? Random? HArd to say, perhaps. But the symptoms are too difficult to ignore.

Cosmic, all I can say is that these are things I've seen, with my own eyes. The Yakuza are "allowed" a territory. Think about who controls Japan. If you say the Japanese, then I suggest you may not have a true understanding of how the world works. Likewise for India. If you say Indian politicians or business houses or banks or the Indian underworld...
But of course, you are free to have your own opinions, as is the guffawing gentleman above.

Ori,
take a look at this BBC documentary on the traditional year of leave Israeli soldiers do in India after their compulsory service in the occupied territories.
Be prepared for the grotesque supremacism of Israeli teenagers ridiculing and treating the indian population as subhumans, drugs and criminality.
The funny thing is that the documentary is made in such a way that we should feel sorry for their poor tortured souls, and not for their continuing crimes. A massive grain of salt is indeed in order.
Flipping out - Israel's drug generation

Thanks for the link Shy, I've seen it, lots, in person. They are hated everywhere they go. But they have money and police protection and they mis-behave, everywhere. Shops have signs that say "No business with Israelis", and yet many poor fokls suck up to them because of their money (drug money too).
I'm sure I will not be surprised by anything I see.
They are a really sad, mind-controlled sub-set of humanity. India will be much th ebetter for banning them or holding them accountable.

ORI - I have no idea if Israel has that much influence globally. Frankly, it all seems a bit far-fetched to me that the yakuza are somehow beholden to the zionists. And without you giving specific details of what you've 'seen' I'm afraid the rest of us are going to take your opinion on the subject with a grain of salt.
But it certainly exerts enormous (and deleterious) influence over US foreign policy, as elucidated by Walt & Mearsheimer's The Israel Lobby

Go back to your astrology charts, tucked away where your non-existent fridge should be. Maybe they'll provide some more powerful insights about world domination that you can share?
Oygev, try this, and this is Public information, do your own research:
For those still in doubts, it is worth reminding that the Kennedy administration ordered the American Zionist Council – AIPAC’s predecessor – to register as an agent of the Israeli government under the Foreign Agents Registration Act on November 21, 1962. The answer led to the dismantling of the former and the foundation of AIPAC. The same whore, though now wearing a new dress.
In 1992, AIPAC President David Steiner was forced to resign after he was recorded saying: “I met with (then Bush U.S. Secretary of State) Jim Baker and I cut a deal with him. I got, besides the $3 billion, you know they're looking for the Jewish votes, and I'll tell him whatever he wants to hear ... Besides the $10 billion in loan guarantees which was a fabulous thing, $3 billion in foreign, in military aid, and I got almost a billion dollars in other goodies that people don't even know about.”
In 2005, AIPAC policy director Steven Rosen and AIPAC senior Iran analyst Keith Weissman were fired by the organization due to an FBI investigation into whether they passed classified U.S. information received from Franklin to the government of Israel. They were later indicted for illegally conspiring to gather and disclose classified national security information to Israel. In parallel, the US Justice Department announced that Lawrence Anthony Franklin, a U.S. Air Force Reserves colonel working as a DoD analyst at the Pentagon, had been arrested and charged by the FBI with providing classified national defense information to Israel. The criminal complaint identified AIPAC by name and described a meeting in which, Franklin disclosed top-secret information to two AIPAC officials. Franklin pleaded guilty to passing government secrets to Rosen and Weissman and revealed for the first time that he also gave classified information directly to an Israeli government official in Washington. He was sentenced to 151 months in prison and fined.
There is lots more "proof" of such meddling, world over, if you choose to see it, or don't.

I have no idea what that winds up meaning...you saying Hiram Goldstein has a couple of shops set up in Yakuza territory and is paying them tribute to operate? or they got the whole shabang going on with Yakuza acting as a front?
How was this done?...they come over in the occupation force after WWII or was teleportation or transcendental meditation involved at all?

In Canada we have four choices, Conservitives who after 3 elections can't get majority, Liberals who should not get elected, NDP who can't get elected and the Quebec block who as a national party want to separate from Canada (but will take money and stay ).

We once had the Rino Party and they had platforms like " Screw cleaning up the environment it's just too big! ".....I would vote for them if they cameback

Thing is... if radioactive Xenon from Fukushima is blanketing the entire United States, why aren't some of the other byproducts of fission (radioactive Iodine, Cesium, etc). Does Xenon disperse more wdely?
Xenon is a gas.
Yes, not a warrior princess
....ah, now that gal could fill a D cup to overflowing....wish WB would work her into one of his 'visual combats'....maybe putting a sword through a TepcoGonzilla???
rosiescenario
"ah, now that gal could fill a D cup to overflowing"
She is magnificent in Spartacus Blood and Sand and the interim Gods of the Arena.
Xenon is a noble gas. It will therefore disperse more widely and rapidly than iodine, caesium or especially strontium or any of the actinides.
The good news is that Xenon is also a pretty good analgesic, in addition to its 133 isotope's gamma emitting properties. So you get high while you die, and glow in the dark.
This is definitely bullish for stocks.

Coffee on the keyboard ....
"Xenon is a noble gas."
True. But where did it come from?
Why is it that everyone is missing the "link"? Xenon is the result of the Beta decay of Iodine. You know, the fission product gas?
Xenon is good if you need to keep a reactor subcritical though. It sucks up thermal neutrons like nobody's business.
Now my car has Xenon headlights. I couldn't afford that option and I'm happy to get it for free now.
Don't get me wrong. I'm a dedicated doom & gloomer. Sky is perpetually falling, etc.
But noble gases don't react with too much of anything, even the heavy ones. And with a half life of 5 days, this stuff will be approaching its limit of zilch within a very short time. Xe-133 also isn't absorbed by the body, so it might be overstating things a bit to say the US has been blanketed yadda yadda. If I read the science stuff right, Xe-133's main contribution to your life is to let you know that nuclear fission has taken place somewhere, since it doesn't occur naturally. Hmmm, now that's news.
Hey. You wanna get freaked out? I just went outside, did some sampling, and found that there is CO2 virtually everywhere! We're swimming in it, for C's sake1
I thank you for your explanation . I read the article and had no idea what it meant . Is there anything dangerous which could float along with it ?
hmm. come to think of it i wonder if my assortment of daily vitamins has been exposed to radiation from somewhere all these years.
maybe that explains those lasar shows a few hours after...
The bad news, CD, is that no, it doesn't matter. You'll still be missing the toilet bowl at night. :)
That's why I use the tub. :>)
This is exactly the problem with this article - the term "blanket" implies that everyone is going to get a Chernobyl-sized dose of radiation. Considering the fact that the average person gets 3 to 4 milli-sieverts per year just from the environment, how much extra radiation is this going to cause? Pretty close to 0.
But I'm glad that somebody is tracking it at least.
Can we start focusing on the rest of Japan now, please? You know, the people who are displaced and lost their homes/jobs/lives?

The resident physics Ph.D in my home, FWIW, says people do not absorb xenon, so this *particular* aspect of Fukushima is not a huge problem.
Does your poodle have a physics degree from a respectable university?
I'm not sure where that hostility is coming from, but might I reiterate for the reading-comprehension challenged: this *particular* aspect of Fukushima is not a huge problem. Note the emphasis.
sorry oygevalt,
you have to admit that Fukishima is the worst thing in the history of earth (and preferably note it is "worse than time the U.S. blew up the WTC" and "worse than the holocaust which didn't happen") if you want cred with certain of the regulars here.
if you believe Fukishima is, at least at present, a walk in the park compared to Chernobyl, then please play that down and remember to reiterate "worst thing in the history of earth."
Your picture should the ass end of the animal, not the head.
You make such weak, sweeping generalizations that are SO far off of reality, I am not sure why I am taking the time.
There is no site or blog that can come even remotely close to the amount of raw, facts and data that gets posted here.
Find me a more intelligent group that contributes to the comment section of any newspaper or blog than this, and I will be impressed and shocked.
You have your few loons, but that is a simple function of the human race.
Now go take a dump from your mouth somewhere else.
ZH is second to none for breaking news, but long-shorty hits the nail right on the head talking about the alarmism and fear in the comments. Many commenters are wonderful. Many are knuckleheads. Guess which are more vocal?
Most of the fear based comments are written with a lot of sarcasim. I disagree though, the knuckleheaders are not more vocal normally. The fear barometer is rising, that isn't a function of the knucklehead population getting vocal, rather it is a function of reality.
A simple couple of questions for you. Do you feel the World's fear barometer rising? After a 5 minute stroll through World news, do you feel there is a justification for that rise?
If you if you aren't a little concerned with everything that humanity (that is us) is facing right now, between rising food prices, increasing threat of global confrontation/war, massive 1000 year natural disasters, energy crisis oil/nuclear, currency extinction, debt suffocation...then maybe you are not part of Humanity.
But you are right, we shouldn't panic....you panic, you die. Stay focused, stay alive.
I think there's plenty to be concerned about... which is why it's so important to have a forum where people from all walks of life can assess risks and ratchet up/ratchet down the fear-meter as appropriate, as their expertise allows. Look at this thread - there are many people, not just me filtering someone else, saying this is not a big deal. These are people who have built up a track record of reliability (e.g., Aristarchan). I think it's wise to listen to them about the probabilities, and save energy for a real item of crisis. I'm not sure why alleging that another commenter not freaking out must mean he/she is not a member of humanity is of any use, but hey, that's just me.
And every issue has its psychopaths flogging whatever their pet issue is. For example, any issue that touches the Jews or Israel will see israhole, chumbawamba, and others come out spitting venom. They are not responding to the facts, and not open to reason. They are just venting their hatred.
I think it would be a big improvement if the site set--and enforced--some basic rules about civil behavior, no profanity, and no racism. But then I am sure this post will get half a dozen "junks"!
MmmmHmmm. And every time someone criticises Israel we get some zionist shill lumping anti-zionism with anti-semitism.
They are not responding to the facts, and not open to reason. They are just venting their shilldom.
You are completely right, this current thread is blown out of proportion. We have zero reason to freak out over this news of particles heading our way. Even if this thing did turn into Chernobyl 2.0, I am pretty sure we would still be safe here in the states. I have read those posts from highly intelligent commenters that know MUCH more than me on the topic, and I am at ease with their comments. I would trust those folks here in this blog to warn me otherwise. This news does show how close we really are to our brothers and sisters on the other side of this planet. We are very much connected, the world is getting smaller by the day.
I didn't mean to say you were not a part of humanity if you aren't freaking out...I was simply trying to say that right now, there is a rational increase in the fear barometer, and to downplay that fact is just a lack of perspective. That is more to Horse guy, not you.
Noble Gases...no problemo.Iodine and Strontium...well, that might be.
"this *particular* aspect"
I got the joke. The reference to particulate airborne contamination (can be filtered with air-purifying respirator) as opposed to gaseous airborne contamination was maybe a bit too subtle for most readers here.
On edit - did that make me sound too patronizing? Sorry if it did.
nice. +1
