Fukushima Radiation Highest Ever, Exceeding Capacity of Measuring Device ... Fuel Likely Leaking Out Of Containment Vessel
Things are - literally - heating up again at Fukushima:
In related news from Japan:
But Reuters notes that the world's most hazardous nuclear plant in terms of worker radiation exposure is in the U.S., not Japan. This Reuters graphic ranks the world's 5 most hazardous plants (Fukushima is only the 5th most hazardous):
Other U.S. nuclear updates include:
- While it was initially claimed that only 2 acres were burned at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, 133 acres were actually burned
One piece of good news. The river level outside the Fort Calhoun nuclear plant has dropped to 1006 feet, well below the critical 1014 foot danger level:

jo6pac ... sorry for the lame blogger log in. I have no control over it ...
Well at least someone else is reading www.enenews.com
The other good blog keeping information flowing about Fukushima is ex-skf.blogspt.com
This disaster is far from over.
www.enenews.com and ex-skf.blogspt.com are both GREAT sites on the nuclear situation.
BTW, what does "skf" stand for?
superkalifragilistic?
suerkalifrigilistis radiation doses
hold it up to your nuts
and your ass is toasted
when you go to have the kids
they'll have 5 million toses
superkailfriaglistic gamma ray doses!
Radioactive FISH?!? wtf..
Turn me loose tonight, cuz I'm..

GW, Thanks for keeping this stuff on the front page (The ZH front page anyway)
someone said that einstein remarked one time, that nuclear power was a hell of a way to heat water. if he said this, then i must say, in implying that nuclear power was a stupid way of making energy , then he was correct. they opened up that nuclear bottle and the genie got out and now it is impossible to get that genie back in the bottle. foolish men, who cared nothing about humanity pushed this insanity. fools they were and fools we were for going along with it.
containment domes won't work either. they had torrential rains over there last week, i believe. can you imagine what that did? imagine all of the radioactive materials that got washed into the ocean etc.........the whole thing is a disaster and there is almost nothing that can be done about it, since workers cannot live long ,being around that stuff. and now the stupid leadership is looking the other way while damaged meats and other commodiites are sold here and there throughout japan , as if nothing is wrong with it, not to mention the fish products that still to this day are still consumed by japanese over there. the government is encouraging a blindness in that land, a blindness in the japanese people who like so many sheep in other countries blindly go along just to get along and believe every word out of their government without questioning it. it is a castrophe of epic proportions and this will never go away in the history of the world. never. as i said at the first when this thing first started. japan is doomed. my timing was off a bit because i did not stop to realize the perfidy of japanese leaders, who are working, so it seems , to destroy their own people. strange stuff in japan. and yet the radioactive car parts are not streaming into the us of a and we also look the other way and pretend this situation is just about over but it is not over and never will be over. the japanese were fools getting involved in nuclear power. fools. and now , they pay the price. and believe me, fukushima is not the only problem they are having over there. there are other problematic reactors there as well, and this situation is on going.
I agree completely that "the government is encouraging a blindness in that land" and it appears to me that Japan is doomed as well. However, I'm not so sure that the Japanese government's deception of the public isn't their best alternative. I mean, what are they supposed to do? Hold a press conference and clearly tell the public that cancer rates are going to skyrocket over the next few decades? Tell the rest of the world that their exports are now contaminated so they might want to think about buying products elsewhere? Yes, it's unforgivable that children are still going to schools in dangerous high radiation zones and that the Japanese government is trying to avoid paying for the relocation costs of hundreds of thousands. At the same time, since this is a horrible situation that humans are powerless to fix now that it's happened, I don't necessarily blame the Japanese and Tepco officials for their policy of staying tight-lipped. As far as blame goes, nuclear power is too powerful for us stupid humans to mess around with and I would cheer Tepco heads rolling (literally!) for building reactors on the ring of fire. I blame the Japanese officials for not doing more to (quietly) move more people to safety and for not moving towards shutting down the rest of Japan's reactors, but as for their policy of interfacing with the public, I can't say that I blame them for a policy that staves off the panic and economic collapse that would inevitably ensue if the truth of the situation were to be told. It's not like there's a vacant island chain waiting for everyone to evacuate to. This situation is so messed up and there are no good solutions, which is why mankind needs to abandon nuclear energy now . . .
Thanks GW.
You do realize that most people think this "Fukishima thing" has been fixed/repaired/resolved?
Definitely ... and the economy has been fixed as well. </sarc>
No one I bring this up to even cares. This is a pretty big deal, as is the leak in the gulf. We are in the twilight zone.
right, Fukahoozit is so last week.
No one mentions what the Japanese gov is doing or is planning to do about these new developments.
In fact, there is very little coverage of any progress dealing with the whole situation.
Have they decided on an overall course of action? Are they going to entomb the plant like Chernobyl?
What actions are being taken by the U.S. to prevent radiation from further contaminating the West Coast?
There are so many questions and no one seems to be offering any answers.
There is no news coverage of any plans or progress because there are no plans or progress to cover.
The head zip-a-dweeb who quit (shoulda done a sepaku on prime time I tell ya, the ratings woulda been off the charts, just like the radhurtz readings my man) said all was taken care of, A-OK, hunkie dorie, super duper, good stuff like milk and honey, in the money, so so funny, goin' my way, hey hey hey, yowza, just absolutely fine and if you bring the topic up one more time, gonna go fucking medevial on your ass with some real pipemashin' bad mojo short fingered motherfuckin' Yakuza.
There was a massive PR push from the nuclear industry to sweep this story under the rug right from the start. As long as all the deaths are in the "plausably deniable" future it will stay that way.
Media stars are a cross breed between foxy news men and climate change deniers. They mix their metaphors, botch their graphics and bribe their sources. That way when a Media stars reports says... 'he was having sex with a hooker in capt. Cook bay'...it needs to be translated and reedited like this / 'He caught a whopper shark in New Zealand when looking for his wife in the sea-side pole dancing bar'.
Fantastic George! as always!
Dec 21, 2012 is coming.. I ain't too damn sure were gonna make it :(

I dreamt I had fried eggs made in reactor @2 in fuku...good sparkling omelette. Try it with the mushrooms/
If you survive a six egg omelette there you'll survive anything. Including having sex with the Wife of the guy whose the best paid goffer in the world. She is ready to punish any man she can get her nails into. So stay afloat, don't let her bump n hump you hook line n sinker into ouch-douche land. Vilnius is a good place to be vilainous. The blonds there are deadly especially in the sauna.
I like this global sovereign-man scenario. It smells of hype, like all packaged scenarios.
your writing is suspect and your reason is twisted...sell your misogynism somewhere else
you have no sense of humor, but I'll humor it. Not a misogynist, just a witness to the man-woman divide in uber USA, where everything about private life is up for media grabs and both parties sadly feed off it. And walk away with mega big bucks!
Media makes the world go round and all who participate in it look like clowns. That's what i meant. Men and women of fame and name.
I take the mickey out of those japanese shills who shrill that it's all OK in Fuku. My omelette is not in bad taste according to my book. But I'll let you off the hook. So go cook elsewhere.

"Gilligan's Island"
Pass the Vegetables, Please.
While fishing in the lagoon Gilligan catches a crate filled with vegetable seeds.
These seeds grow plants at a miraculous rate, but like everything good that happens on the island, there's a catch.

You're getting lazy GW.
This post is just a mirror of enenews.com
I appreciate the info right here even if it is mirrored.
yo tombien . . .
Dito
agreed
True, I could have re-written, but why not give links and traffic to enenews? Whoever runs enenews is doing a great job reporting on nuclear radiation...
HOLY SHIT. Anyone who hasn't done it already should survey a few pages of the headlines at: http://enenews.com/category/pacific-ocean
If any of this shit is even remotely true, the this magnitude of this calamity is almost unfathomable.
That video of the emergency director getting grilled by Fukashima residents made me want to cry.
This situation is seriously fucked up.
KI Bitchez!!!
Cant be the British /EC State propaganda lying machine (the BBC) interviewed a Rent-a-Crone (expert) who said Japans Govt and industry were doing a splendid and "highly effective job" with the nuclear spill at Fukinshambles ...that was 2months ago!!
But....but....Japan's PM said," 'tis but a tiny leak...tiny...very little...."
BTW, is this radiation still bathing Hawaii, California and Oregon?
Nothing so far in Sacramento California. I periodically remove my car air filter(excellent collection tool) and check for radiation. Nothing above background. I check for Alpa, beta, and gamma.
Smart. I will do the same (Seattle, WA)
delta and omega are deadly.
Same here in AZ. We've had some impressive spikes in background in open air (especially on 5/14), but nothing that's lasting, and my car air filter has been negative for radiation for the entire event. The spikes trended up in the first half of June, but have since disappeared.
Arizonans are lucky it doesn't rain much . . .
so when does the media blackout end and the world gets to know?
Are we dead yet?
some of us are
Gov’t says 1,500 tons of highly radioactive sludge may end up as “soil for gardening”
Will it help the tomato's?
The wife might want some.
Tomacco bitchez.
The Mushrooms look awfully large ...and a little too Purple....and I needed a fork lift to carry that watermelon home! mY son said it has a "glowing taste."
mmmmmmm.....
Gilligan's Island covered this scenario when the castaways found a crate of radioactive seeds. They all got superpowers from eating their favourite vegetables.
that's bullish for radiation, right?
dayum. you're good. i forgot all about that episode. i guess we should expect that re-run to air daily now.

That Reuters graphic is completely wrong about Fukushima's capacity. Probably wrong about other stuff too. Installed/Max capacity at Fukushima was only 4,600MWe/7,500MWe.
Probably 17500MW(TH), Thermal
