Huge Fukushima Cover-Up Exposed, Government Scientists In Meltdown
Submitted by Sean Adl-Tabatabai via InvestmentWatchBlog.com,
Fukushima radiation just off the North American coast is higher now than it has ever been, and government scientists and mainstream press are scrambling to cover-up and downplay the ever-increasing deadly threat that looms for millions of Americans.
Following the March 2011 meltdown at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, reactors have sprayed immeasurable amounts of radioactive material into the air, most of which settled into the Pacific Ocean. A study by the American Geophysical Union has found that radiation levels from Alaska to California have increased and continue to increase since they were last taken.
Naturalnews.com reports:
The highest levels yet of radiation from the disaster were found in a sample taken 2,500 kilometers (approx. 1,550 miles) west of San Francisco.
“Safe” according to whom?
Lead researcher Ken Buesseler of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution was one of the first people to begin monitoring Fukushima radiation in the Pacific Ocean, with his first samples taken three months after the disaster started. In 2014, he launched a citizen monitoring effort – Our Radioactive Ocean – to help collect more data on ocean-borne radioactivity.
The researchers track Fukushima radiation by focusing on the isotope Cesium-134, which has a half-life of only two years. All Cesium-134 in the ocean likely comes from the Fukushima disaster. In contrast, Cesium-137 – also released in huge quantities from Fukushima – has a half-life of 30 years, and persists in the ocean, not just from Fukushima, but also from nuclear tests conducted as far back as the 1950s.
The most recent study added 110 new Cesium-134 samples to the ongoing studies. These samples were an average of 11 Becquerels per cubic meter of sea water, a level 50 percent higher than other samples taken so far.
Instead of presenting the findings as an alarming sign of growing radiation, however, Buesseler emphasizes that the Cesium-134 levels detected are still 500 times lower than the drinking water limits set by the U.S. government. The news site The Big Wobble questions whether Buesseler and Woods Hole’s heavy financial reliance on the U.S. government – Woods Hole has received nearly $8 million in research funding from several government agencies – plays any role in this emphasis.
Situation still worsening
The reality, however, is that radiation along the West Coast is expected to keep getting worse. According to a 2013 study by the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center in Norway, the oceanic radiation plume released by Fukushima is likely to hit the North American West Coast in force in 2017, with levels peaking in 2018. Most of the radioactive material from the disaster is likely to stay concentrated on the western coast through at least 2026.
According to professor Michio Aoyama of Japan’s Fukushima University Institute of Environmental Radioactivity, the amount of radiation from Fukushima that has now reached North America is probably nearly as much as was spread over Japan during the initial disaster.
The recent Woods Hole study also confirmed that radioactive material is still leaking into the Pacific Ocean from the crippled Fukushima plant. Cesium-134 levels off the Japanese coast are between 10 and 100 times higher than those detected off the coast of California.
Without directly challenging the U.S. government’s “safe” radiation limits, Buesseler obliquely references the fact that any radioactive contamination of the ocean is cause for concern.
“Despite the fact that the levels of contamination off our shores remain well below government-established safety limits for human health or to marine life,” he said, “the changing values underscore the need to more closely monitor contamination levels across the Pacific.”

Thank God governments like ours are working hard day and night to protect themselves.
The last thing we need, is for the uninformed rabble to get pissed off at the people who are fucking everything up.
H/t MDB.
lol... Nice H/t Croesus.
I like you. ;-)
A whole bunch of Japanese scientists, Tepco executives and politicians are in sore need of a Cesium-134 high colonic.. at 3200 PSI.
I have a pressure washer and would be willing to administer the therapy at an economical price.
Oh, and I'll do the bankers for free.
Did everybody forget about the NRC report that said Fuk #4 lost 100% of its storage into the atmosphere. Its between pages 7-8 I think on this NRC doc.
http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1212/ML12122A949.pdf
Forget! We blew right past it.
We don't know what that means exactly, just that we are screwed.
From "Our Radioactive Ocean" website:
Our highest detection level to date came from a sample collected about 1,600 miles west of San Francisco that contained 11 Becquerels per cubic meter of cesium-137 and cesium-134. This means that in one cubic meter of seawater (about 264 gallons), 11 radioactive decay events per second can be attributed to cesium atoms of both isotopes. That is 50 percent higher than we’ve seen before, but even these levels are still more than 500 times lower than safety limits established by the US government for drinking water and well below limits of concern for direct exposure while swimming, boating, or other recreational activities. Our findings agree with those reported by the scientists who are part of the group Kelp Watch and by the team of Canadian scientists working under the INFORM umbrella. - See more at: http://www.ourradioactiveocean.org/results.html#sthash.MGrnZtJw.dpuf
Their is a solution. CBLI 502. Incredible incompetent government.
Billary/Trump will fix it!
sadsarc
a hell of a way to boil water
Deadly threat to millions of americans??? It's not even a deadly threat to millions of japs who are living close by. It's not even close to how much radiation you get every day from the sun and stars.
Really, what kind of sociopath tries to scare people like this, so they subscribe to some retarded news service?
Remember all the shit heads who said the whole northern hemisphere would be a dead zone by several years ago?
Not a deadly threat huh?
Where do you think all our rain comes from? The pacific ocean that now has confirmed radiation in it.
There are now reports or Uranium in the water supply at 156 levels above EPA safe limits in California. And 85 times above safe limits in the Midwest. Combined these aquafiers provide water to millions of people and waters close to 50 percent of all food produced in the United States.
See: http://www.counselheal.com/articles/16950/20151210/uranium-drinking-wate...
There is now a confirmed outbreak of Thryoid Cancer in California. You know the only thing that causes an increase in Thryoid Cancer???? You guessed it RADIATION.
See: http://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/ucla-study-finds-advanced-thyroid-canc...
Also lets not forget that the entire Dungenous Crab Season was cancled on the West Coast for the first time in history with authorties making up a bull_SH** story about demoic acid.
If you cannot connect all those dots I fell sorry for you.
Also you might want to google Radiation Ocean Spray and learn how radiation travels 300 kilometers inland.
There is no way to stop this shit. Genie is out of the bottle. Hope it doesn't kill too many people. They have no choice but to deny and cover it up politically because they couldn't stop it even if they wanted to (and it's in question whether they even want to).
Yup. +1 to you for the best answer. :-)
This is how Japanese mutate into the super race that will defeat artificial intelligence robots gone wild.
Fukuman to the rescue!
Stuxnet is a hell of a drug.
general electric it pretty quiet about its reactor disaster.
Right here on ZH, George Washiington has kept us abreast of the Fukushina events for the past 4+ years.
Over and over he has told us of the fraud in numbers being reported.
Remember, Govt Lies, all of them. All of the time.
Employment numbers, radiation numbers, etc.
All numbers issued by the US and all other government agencies and other world governments are lies.
The only real numbers are Ag & Au ounces stored by you, PHYSICAL not paper.
Laws and Taxes are for Peons and Peasants.
They've had more of these than anyone will ever know.
“Red Alert! Sharp increase in radiation… at Fukushima”

I was going to make a facetious comment, but my better angels said not to add to the bad karma.
OK.. so this is a good time to expose the evil, why?
Fukuman => Godzilla?
THIS REPORT IS FALSE.
IT IS TO COVER UP OTHER ACTIONS OF THE ELITES. CANCER RATES ARE TO SKYROCKET, AND THIS WILL GET THE BLAME.
More likely Fukzilla.
Fuk Mi, that was fast.

There are over a hundred sites in the US with significant ongoing radioactive beta and gamma emmissions. As for disasters, our very first meltdown here occurred in Chatsworth, 10 miles outside of Los Angeles back in the fifties. According to one planning study, it was a perfectly safe location for a NPP, LA. I believe it's an industrial park now. There, that fixed it.
Also peviously the porn capital. I lved there from 12 to 18, then bailed out. We would recive letters from the GOV every once in a while that stated if we suffer 'symptoms' to go see so and so. Other letters would lump is in class actions, that to my knowlrdge never came to fruition. Interestingly the Sanata Susanas is where the Manson tribe hung out for a while. Chatsworth used to have a lot of farmland, but now as you say is mainly residential / commercial... Oh, and drug trafficking lol.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Susana_Field_Laboratory
Sure they can stop it, the same way a statist fucktard says they can stop anything, with a tax. Just wait....Once the public starts to clamour for a solution. BAM.. Fuc U.S hi ma!
Thinks this is bad?
Wait till some crazy Ukrainian nationalist blows up a nuclear power plant, or maybe a North Korean missile takes out a Japanese nuclear power plant on the Japanese west coast.
Time to move to the East Coast and get a cannary for this coal mine. No more Pacific sea food either.
the crab live off all the irradiated dead, gives a fresh new spin to "deadliest catch."
I don't eat Pacific or Gulf seafood. My wife gets upset when I ask where to these oysters come from? If they brag about fresh from the Gulf, I just pass and get a chicken sandwich
I just wonder what that chicken is being fed, and what parts of the chicken are in that sandwich, if any parts.
In 'How to Get Ahead in Advertising,' Bagley goes off on a rant flushing chickens down the toilet in order to return them to the sea. 'Return' them because they are being fed fish throughout their farm lives.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097531/
ps_ NukePro does a regular radioactive survey of the states. It writes extensively on Fukushima.
http://nukeprofessional.blogspot.ca/
"... if any parts."
"Nuggets", from really big chickens!
remember climate control is our number 1 threat.
caused by fossil fuels
LOL...gotta print some carbon credits.
Anycase, the nuclear power plants that are well over their life cycle with absolutely no ability to 'dispose' of them. Stands to reason that a nuclear sarcophagus is only built to last 50 years, while the high energy reaction that was started to produce power lasts roughly 14000 years before being considered 'safe'. It's possibly some of the worst application of engineering ever done with the lousiest ethical decision making.
At the moment the undocumented and undisclosed power plant issues while Fukishima is happening are happening in New York's Indian Point, Unit 3. There was an emergency shut down on the 15th of December. There were also some issues in Texas and California the week prior that were not announced and probably never will be.
The fact is in an idiocracy with a narrowing band of STEM grads focused on maintaining the nuclear power plants, things just fall a part. There is no political solution, the nuclear power plants were in fact a political solution and the unrecognized final solution at the time of their construction. Once the climate changes enough, the air currents will start to bring the radioactive rain to areas that believed they were insular to the issue. The Cancer and organ failure rate skyrockets, mutation occurs and anything with a long maturation cycle just disappears (bipeds mainly). This isn't like a single shot of poison either, radiation is a slow and very long process of poisoning that changes everything it touches. When the governments worry about some small weather pattern change, they over look the bigger picture of thousands and thousand of years of open nuclear power plants running on a half life of thousands of years. They are very dumb and assume wrongly that somehow that their continuation as a society and a species is a guarantee. This is the 'fifth' horseman btw, Technological disaster with a thick layer of incredible hubris and stupidity. If love and hate are always at odds, it'll certainly be the boundless nature of thoughtless stupidity that puts the nail in the coffin for both.

But it's Christmas and soon Easter thereafter. Amen
You mean Yule and Ostara?
Obama has 60 more of these nuclear plants (same design flaws, I think) approved and in the works for construction here in the US. Who cares about your carbon footprint when you're radioactive?
IEA estimates meeting the "2C target" agreed by "world leaders" in Paris will require 45-50 new nuclear reactors built every year for the next 45 years .... think that's going to happen? And that's in addition to hugh areas of land covered with solar panels and bird choppers ....
Before you get all bent out of shape about radiation, consider the radiation exposure shown by the report in Veterans Today on December 19, 2015. This report covers the continental US. If you think moving away from the west coast will eliminate exposure to radiation, think again.
http://www.veteranstoday.com/2015/12/19/your-radiation-this-week-no-35/
That said, radiation exposure is part of living on the planet Earth. We are exposed to radiation from the Sun and from outer space, from radioactive decay in rocks, from Radon gas in our basements, from Radon gas brought up with the gas from shale beds (thanks again, frackers), radiation from coal-plant fly ash, from petroleum, from nuclear bomb tests, from nuclear waste from nuclear reactors, from X-rays used in medical and dental practices, from nuclear isotopes used in medicine (e..g. Cobalt 60), etc. Taking a flight in an airliner at 35,000 feet exposes you to a significant dose of radiation. Radiation exposure has always occurred to humans, and our bodies have learned to cope with it. If we were not able to cope with the background levels of radiation that living on Earth exposes us to, the human race would never have developed.
It is when exposure becomes too high that we see deaths occur. Firefighters at Chernobyl who came in to fight the fire in the reactor buildiing were not told that it was a reactor explosion or that they were being exposed to excessive radiation. Many of these firefighters died within a period of 2 days to some weeks after exposure. Attempts to clear graphite reactor pile parts from the roof of the reactor building using remote-controlled machines failed because the radiation destroyed their electronics in a few hours of exposure, so men were sent in to do the job - being allowed to work a very few minutes at a time to limit exposure - and were able to clear the roof. It is amazing how much radiation the human body (and wildlife) can take without immediate death occuring, but in the long term cancers and birth defects are showing markedly high incidence rates in the population that was exposed to radiation by Chernobyl. At the same time, studies are showing that wildlife like wolves, deer, rabbits, mice, rats, birds, and feral dogs and cats are thriving in the exclusion zone around Chernobyl - wildlife has rebounded in the area now that humans are removed. Little evidence has been found of radiation-caused genetic mutations among wildlife populations.
As a student in Metallurgical Engineering, I was involved in lab experiments with radioactive materials and X-rays, and I believed like most people that any exposure at all was a hazard to health. It was only after researching the issue that I came to realize: 1. Radiation exposure is natural and unavoidable; and 2. Low levels of radiation exposure do no lasting harm. Recent research has indicated that some radiation exposure is actually beneficial to DNA-based lifeforms, including humans. Apparently the damage to DNA by radiation stimulates the body's DNA repair mechanisms, keeping us healthier in the long run.
Here have some links and google the rest, quite interesting..

Yes it is.
The Children of Chernobyl

The animals in the area outbreed the radiation with a short sexual maturation cycle (under two years) and can afford the losses.
For people, it takes very little external radiation to change the chemistry in the womb and the testicles. Even a small external heat variation or radiation change can turn any fertile man into a donkey shooting blanks. For women the eggs they carry over a life time and the DNA/RNA from a ceaseless push of radiation, mutation will occur in higher frequency is a given. While the woman might give birth, it offers no promise to the child delivered will live that long. Radiation is a vicious reaper and most of the outcomes it generates are without any mercy. The situation is given that those that live through it will only envy the dead.
In most studies given surrounding the idea out-breeding radiation, in fruit flies it takes a minimum of 10 generations before the adaptation occurs to protect the body from radiation. The result of the studies ended up producing fruitlies with many, many mutations, mainly the loss of flight. In something like a fruitfly, that conditionally guarentees it's extinction since a fly's primary defense against predators is flying away. If given the required time frame to do the same in people, that would mean roughly 150 years, if and only if there were the perfect conditions to allow it to happen. Since life offers no guarantees, the likelihood of the survival of anything recognizable as 'people' on earth is slim to none by the third generation given the results of tiny nuclear accidents on record.
Short term Fukishima is considered 'small'; long term it is not considered "small" and with the large foot print of 438 nuclear power plants that are documented, it is only a matter of time and age of the facilities to 'out perform', by accident, all the nuclear weapons in the stockpiles hidden. Now the question is, anyone really want to inherit that earth given the wasteland that's been accidentally designed by morons.
It sounds like boys are 10x more sensitive to radiation than adults.... and girls twice that at 20x . This would mean the brunt of the damage will be borne by the children. What do you think the effects will be in the nearer term CPL? Are we looking at a massive loss of youth in the next 10 years?
It's a multi phased issue. Mostly it has to do with the time it takes to make a person a productive, constructive and fruitful member of a society. For 'humans' in general that requires 13-15 years even then it is no guarantee of success if dropping them in somewhere with elevated levels of radiation. They simply aren't built for it and by logistics cannot breed fast enough to get a toe hold in.
The near term outcome, 10 years, a generation of orphans since the adults managing things die off. The social structure and infrastructure collapses on the orphans with no direction or social structure that's functional. Entropy sets in and everything from buildings, roads and to further add issues. More nuclear power plants start to break badly since the likelihood of anyone stlll around will have the man power available or the knowledge to circumvent the poorly engineered solutions that barely contain a nuclear reaction to boil water to produce electricity.
With a lack of knowledge and an extreme inability to procreate combined with mutation plus the grocery list of illnesses that come with radiation poisoning. Maybe a generation or two until it is just all gone. Considering it takes at least ten generations for any biological species to adapt to elevated levels of environmental radiation, there will be nothing that has a breeding cycle that cannot outpace the environment changes in the space that are further irradiated over the course of thousands and thousands of years, then take tens of thousands of years to allow nature to rebury it. Plus given the mutations that will occur I doubt the dating scene in a post nuclear power plant destruction phase will be that progressive or productive.
People in comparison to foxes, deer, wolves, mice, insects, etc, animals are biologically equipped to game the odds of survival with fast breeding cycles by having large litters or nearly functional sexual reproduction at birth. Survival of the fittest or smartest is not a metric in the situation. It is survival of the most adaptable. The mind is nothing if there is no body, and strength means nothing if the body is corrupted in inches. People, if measuring against practically every niche on Earth are very high maintenance and fragile in comparison to something like a may fly. If looking for the 'strongest' in the flora and fauna of earth. The cockroach and the beetle. Both have outlasted dinosaurs, ice ages, forests, tectonic upheaval, the rise and fall of civilizations, war, peace, strife and conquest. They will outlive all the ideas, designs and plans of Men or Gods and see many more come and go. There they remain largely ignored doing their job of clean up and disposal, the structure of their bodies nearly unchanged for eons busily remaking the world right under everyone's feet.
You should ask the survivors of K-19 about how healthy they feel now.

Consider external VS internal radiation exposure.
Once you are CONTAMINATED whatever the dose, the associated risks are much higher than wiht external exposure. Cf. effects of internal radiation at cellular level.
Correct. And the human body has processes to eliminate nearly every naturally occurring substance. Wood splinter? Your body festers it out. Banana with naturally radioactive potassium? your body gets rid of it as part of the normal Na+K+ pump. A little too much sun radiation? your body produces melanin to reduce further penetration, while still allowing necessarily levels of vitamin D production.
You get a manmade hot particle in your body: Uranium, Polonium, Iodine? You own that for the rest of your life. Japan passed laws to this effect after the disaster. If you are exceptionally lucky, it randomly makes the pachinko/pinball walk out of one of you orfices/pores. If you are extremely lucky, your body encases it in a tumor and that tumor limits the radiation transmission without encroaching on other critical organs. A doctor finds it and cuts it out. If you are the typical human, your body over reacts, and not only overgrows that tumor to contain that particle, but over reacts and creates more tumors in other places out of course.
That's why there are still animals living near Chernobyl. (as better explained by others) They have 10 year natural life spans, and produce dozens of offspring. I don't want myself or anyone else to have to live like animals.
Great info Tinfoil. I have read and seen videos on the rebirth of wildlife near Chernobyl. Crews went back in 25 years after and the woildilfe has taken over. Initially they were surprised of the repopulation and the lack of mutation in the species. I think they made the determination that the low levels of defects are a result of the short life expectancy of most of the species. Wolves I thinka re around 10 years and would make sense. Humans with a LE of around 70 would have a greater amount of time to incubate the cancers and defects than animals with shorter life spans
Yes, indeedy!

Read the actual article about thyroid cancer. The researcher herself speculates it is due to people living near agricultural land.
She didn't say it but I would guess its due to all the fertilizer and pesticides put on. Not Fukishima.
Thyroid cancer is linked to genetic factors. Women contract the disease 3 times more often than men. Radioactive iodine 131 has been linked to thyroid cancer but I-131 breaks down quickly. Its half life is only 8 days.
FYI, rain water is essentially the same thing as distilled water - the purest, cleanest water there is. Yes, even if it is coming from the contaminated sea. If there is dust in the air when it rains down from the sky, then yes, it can become contaminated again. So rainwater right after a huge explosion throws radioactive dust into the air probably isn't the safest water to drink, but after the dust has cleared, I'd have no qualms about drinking pure rainwater. Seafood I'm staying away from.
I think there may be a chink your argument. Raindrops form around dust particles therefor if the dust is radioactive and is then distributed as rain you still have the problem of the contamination being spread.
Disregard my remarks, I just reread your comment. rain created from ocean evaporation would not have any particles that had radioaction. Wasn't paying attention
FYI, rain water is essentially the same thing as distilled water - the purest, cleanest water there is.
Whatever you say, Gen. Ripper...
It could be other radioisotopes too, I know for Uranium you can use sodium bicarbonate to flush it out of your body for example:

Not a deadly threat huh?
Where do you think all our rain comes from? The pacific ocean that now has confirmed radiation in it.
There are now reports or Uranium in the water supply at 156 levels above EPA safe limits in California. And 85 times above safe limits in the Midwest. Combined these aquafiers provide water to millions of people and waters close to 50 percent of all food produced in the United States.

Suzuki is a globalist shill. He has no expertise in a ny science about which he speaks. He was a zoologist and a geneticist.
Likely to be just as lethal to americans as the latest ebola outbreak, it was the end of america as we know it at that time.
It is too bad that the Tylers seems to be proud of being clueless c*nts when it comes to hard science, makes it a lot harder to take them seriously in other areas.
The radiation from the sun and stars is filtered out by ozone and what is not filtered is non-ionizing radiation. The only thing worse than fear mongering is not knowing or having facts straight..
In many instances, the logic of the uninformed causes them to falsely reason that, because a result does not fully occur, either instantaneously, or in a short time, it is not happening. What is required is to understand first the time-scale on which the events in question occur. For example, there is no doubt that stars explode, but an uninformed person might conclude that our Sun is eternal simply because the time-scale of its detonation is very large. The time scale of poisoning from Fuku is not so great, but greater than you evidently imagine.
Put simply, right now, Japanese are being killed, and your life also is being measurably shortened, by this discrete event, as well as other events. Perhaps what surprises you is that no one informs you of it on TV.
It will accumlate in seafood. it will work its way up the food chain, from the plankton up to the larger fish and in bottom feaders and become 5000 more concentrated.
That said, I hope you eat lots of seafood that originates in the pacific!
Salt solution? Add salt and desolve it! Eom
There is NO safe dose of radiation.
Simple as that.
What was background before about 1944 was unavoidable.
ALL additions have been harmfu.
Keep it simple.
Who the fuck believes it when the government claims something is safe?
WTFU.
“Despite the fact that the levels of contamination off our shores remain well below government-established safety limits for human health or to marine life,”
There is NO safe level of radiation...
just ask shrodinger's cat.
or marie curie.
Time for a class action for $1 Trillion - do you want to own Japan?
what really chaps my ass is that I freaking LOVE SUSHI. all the late night Sushi Grinds with friends- GONE. now I am terrified to eat it. sincerely.
Have you given up flying? Just curious, wouldn't want you to get irradiated on a coast to coast flight...
Although I imagine someone whose life was saved by nuclear medicine might differ with your opinion. A long time ago, around the age of 24, after I did a miltary pt test, I started pissing blood. Nuclear medicine to the rescue... Detected that my kidney was bad. I've now lived 3+ more decades after that surgery. My stepfather was diagnosed with prostate cancer in his eighties. Again, nuclear medicine to the rescue. He's 92, and still going strong.
No safe level? You get a daily dose just living and breathing on this planet.
Standard Disclaimer: Never ever left facts get in the way of a good rant while precariously standing on a soapbox.

The Majority of people that recieve radation treatment don't live that long. However there is a huge difference between being exposed to a short and controlled dose of radation and consuming contaminated food and water. Cesium gets aborbed in bones and emitts an continuous dose of radiation for the rest of your life. At some point its going to corrupt cells resulting in cancer or other diseases.
Avoid dentists. They're always zapping you. They step out of the room when they hit the zap button, ("hold that smile") so you know there's trouble ahead for you or your descendants.
If you are ever in a dentist's office during a power outage you will see that everyone who works there is still faintly visible even though all lighting is off. Maybe they are in reality, alien spirit people or maybe they just bathe daily in day-glow body wash, but after reading this article I think it's all that zapping.
"There is NO safe dose of radiation."
Yes there is, or there would be no life in the universe.
If these figures are correct, it will take 16 years for the radiation to reach unsafe levels, without factoring in decay (because I'm an innumerate dumbass).
The radiation with a 3-year half life is probably nothing to worry about. The 30-year stuff is more alarming.
More to the point, since these are government figures, we have every reason to expect that the figures are even worse.
But it's salt water, right? So we wouldn't drink it anyway, right?
/fear
Making up math on a financial site. Not a good way to go about convincing those who understand math.
Decay rate is a chance at decay its not a sure thing. Probabilities and all that.
As for not drinking sea water, where does water come from in your word the tap. Water cycle might be something you would like a refresher on.
until people start posting deformed animals, plants, flowers, 2 headed abnormalities from the sea and radioactive waste washing up in SoCal on youtube the sheeple just won't get it.
Or the most likely scenario whereby all the Spent Fuel Pools of the blown reactors went up along with the containment structures (#3 with MOX), and the Common Spent Fuel Pool - the granddaddy of them all, full to the brim with decades of rods - burned to a crisp. What's in the ground is what's left of three cores - the rest all went up into the atmosphere - and anything left from the underground weapons manufacturing facility, which would mostly be plutonium - is now being flushed out to sea from the underground river that flows through the site. A river that will flow for centuries, carrying all that increasing radiation - it gets hotter, not cooler, for another million years or so - into the Pacific Ocean.
Either that, or .gov is telling the truth. Take your pick...
I have a simple filter for information....
If government says it, it's most likely bullshit.
and if corporations say it.
and if television says it. (i may be repeating myself)
and if the new york times says it.
and if the wall street journal says it.
and if the washington post says it.
however if they deny it, . . . .
we have a consumer protection agency--why not a taxpayer or citizen protection agency--protection from govt wrong doings.
Ie, who protects the consumer for Obamacare and Medicare Fraud. And from sales lies from the President.
You, Buckethead are quite full of it. You must be part of the 'if you know nothing say something' group of BS lovers that are on ZH. That doesn't mean all ZHrs just the more clueless ones.
Quite right, another self-declared expert neckbeard grimly proclaiming expert knowledge in every field imaginable.
Zerohedge is basically a place for socially isolated males with unwarranted self importance to venture their tedious opinions that people in the real world wouldn't tolerate having to listen to except that since the audience here is comprised almost exclusively of similar social cripples they are applauded to it. It's a bit like a support group with the common thread being a childlike understanding of complex systems and no capability to critically analyze evidence..
One sure sign of this is that you don't often find the slightest hint of self deprecation in any of the regular poster's comments, just grim monologues pronouncing various unsupported assertions as to the inner workings of everything on earth which even though they are usually mututally exclusive are applauded readily by the resident windowlickers.
As to the radiation levels cited in this post on the west coast, anyone with a scientific background will laugh at them (as they are FAR (an order of magnitude) lower than the background radiation in many places that have been inhabited for thousands of years) which is why the inevitable response from these tedious 'tards is "just you wait and see everyone will die" and similar unsupported anecdotal bullshit.
>> Quite right, another self-declared expert neckbeard grimly proclaiming expert knowledge in every field imaginable.
I know this much - the radiation entering the ocean from Fuckushima gets worse with each month that passes. And there is no reason to believe that that trend will change within my lifetime. It may or may not be more than trivially harmful today - I surely don't know. But I do know it will become more and more and more with the passage of time. With no foreseeable end.
For these fukushima posts I always like to remind people: There are crowd sourced groups of enthusiasts out there with detectors and monitors hooked up to this network which you can view most locations on.
http://www.radiationnetwork.com
They also discuss spikes, possible reasons and sources, and alerts on the messages page. Hope this helps.
>>>a support group with the common thread being a childlike understanding of complex systems and no capability to critically analyze evidence..
No, no, no! That's National Review.
Poor Neptunium.
Did the bad men say stuff you are paid or too stupid too agree with?
Noticed you didn't have any facts in your "unsupported assertions".
Was that supposed to shut down the debate?
Nice try bitch, welcome to fight club.
Here's a fact for you.
The so called background levels of various radiocative isotopes that are used by the Woodshole shills are not from pre 3-11-11. They are from 2013. 20 months after the event.
This means they are actually worthless as comparisons.
And the so called government standards for levels of said radioactive isotopes in drinking water were recently increased by a factor of 1000.
So go suck a west coast desalination plant.
I smell something.
Speaking of "socially isolated males", I'll bet this guy is realllly popular at parties ..
Translation: Only socially unacceptable people don't believe what government says officially. Those who don't believe authority are socially unacceptable.
And that's ultimately how authority holds on to power, by convincing people they will become socially isolated for not sharing the belief system.
Let's put this to an empirical test:
Hi, I'm Kirk, and I think that Moses and Jesus are fiction, or were glorified snake oil salesmen. How do you like now?
projection is a mother fuker.
or hopefully sarcasim. Glad you posted this before I got the the I.Q. and education stick out on this dude.
What are you? Some kind of denier?
Bullshit, I self depreciate all the time. All that radiation is bad, We are just arguing over how bad it is now. This being a public forum let's everyone give thier two pence and people can think critically and believe what they want.
In the bee circle, those worker bees need to be subservient to the queen or they will be thrown out of the bee social group.
Of course, if more worker bees start questioning the queen (unlike the government, she lays eggs), we, humans, will not have much honey to enjoy.
There's a lesson in there somewhere. You are probably smarter to analyze it.
"Zerohedge is basically a place for socially isolated males with unwarranted self importance"
So what are you doing here, then?
i smell washed shit.
Edit
Neptune you motherfucker I resemble that remark ; ). .. On the brighter side see Dr. Tom Levy's youtube offerings seems like ascorbates (vitamin C) are the most powerful detox agents known (including radiation poisoning) which creates a ton of oxy free radicals. We probably need 10 plus grams daily of this powerful and el cheaplo anti oxidant to keep the ever increasing pollutants at bay.... The retard Feds recommend only 80 mg a day. Best way to buy is sodium ascorbate by the pound At Amazon, Iherb.com etc.
Do you think the NRC is any more reliable than Tepco? After all, it's not as if all institutions everywhere are in total collapse. Nothing is really trustworthy anymore, especially when the one delivering a message is wearing a suit and has an alphabet soup behind their names to hoodwink the masses that they are "experts."
Is it even safe to trust anything anymore?
and the core of reactor 4 was offline at the time. meaning , fuel removed to storage tank.
Yes 4 was offline. The fresh red hot fuel was put into the storage pool above it. The newer it is the hotter it is. According to the NRC that pool was completely lost. #3 lost 50% #2 lost 25%. If this really happened..Its pretty big. Ill let Helen Caldicot explain it. She is over political and emotional but I dont see anyone poking holes in her science.

Interesting Fuk report and photos.

You should warm them up to the 40 degree angle first. Then the full high end nozzle. Only have 3,000 psi. It removes tiny fragments of paint from my lanai. My pool guy wasn't happy with me. He got even with me by charging for a new pool filter. He said, why the fuck is there paint chips in your pump? He's a good friend and pool service in Marco Island. I replied, experimenting with the nozzles. The black one is wicked. True story.
/LOL
EPA: Save the smelts first! Save the smelts first!
Here's a US Made water filter that filters our Cesium and Strontium for those concerned about this stuff getting in their water: http://www.pureeffectfilters.com/filter-units/pure-effect-ultra.html
It's far worse than this article states:
"Finally, the Los Angeles County levels were almost 15 times higher than the federal regulatory limit for alpha radiation, which is 21 fCi/m3, according to a 2010 document from Idaho National Laboratory."

These are the recorded Radiation Highs that affected people this week around the United States. You should compare the Rad numbers directly with the Rad numbers in with my articles listed on the VT Author’s Page here: http://www.veteranstoday.com/author/bobnichols/ or below.

I wonder what the thyroid cancer and leukemia rates are these days on the West Coast?
It will be worse across the US/Canadian border, and down the Eastern Seaboard. Follow the jetstream. The biggest problem in California will be the surfers, not people that stay out of the water.
But accurate numbers are now a National Security issue.
Some guy prints up a list of huge numbers and you believe him? Who did the readings in all those cities? Was the equipment calibrated or bought on EBay?

Sushi anyone?
It must of been huge.
Ya wanna totally freak out a store? Go in with a geiger counter. Center it over all the meats.
You'll be hustled out of the store in seconds.
It's not radiation. It's climate change ...
We just have to decide. Then we give them the ultimatum and they leave. I bet the number of people it takes to do that is much smaller than we now think. So you just get ready, and one day the damn breaks and they all flee the country because otherwise they are toast. Then we go back to intelligent and limited Constitutional government. Making a few changes to taht Constitution, afer establishing enough examples to encourage the others. Full 3D 4K portraits of shame as they ae told in detail the evil they have done, the crying of babies in great pain.
And confess the connections that allowed them to do those evils.
Evil bastards.
Way past time to end this.
Expelsions don't help, they always return richer and more powerful than before. The Khazar zio-bastards!!!
'Khazar zio-bastards'.
It would be far more descriptive to simply say 'Super-Wealthy'. They come in all colors - mostly white - and all religions, but anything else is a distraction from the multi-generationally wealthy who run things behind the curtain. Bankers work for those that employ them. Yes, these bankers are super-wealthy, too, and a large majority of them may be Jewish, but they don't control the levers of power. The Super-Wealthy control the world's intelligence agencies and militaries, not the 'Jewish bankers'. They may influence decisions to invade/kill millions, but they don't give those orders.
We are far past the point where it makes much difference. The Super-Wealthy are not immune from the sickness and death being brought on by ongoing nuclear disasters that will never be cleaned up. They may die in bed with nicer sheets, but they will die all the same. As will we all in a few generations...
How on earth is any "super-wealthy" more powerful than Yellen and the people with their hands up her backside? Seriously, name the rich people who can fight the dollar?
Bankers are on top.
This is a serious issue, but one could have wished for a little more depth on the total release and its decay over time. If the Ce-134 halflife is 2 years, then a peak in 2018 is 7 years or three halflife decays after the initial dump, meaning that the total hitting our coast should be 1/4 that initially released.
Of course, there are other radioisotopes than Ce-134, and none of them except Ce-137 are mentioned at all. Nor is the difference in hazard between different types of emitters, and the bioaccumulation in fish caught or farmed in contaminated waters. All in all, this article is a very shallow dip into a very deep subject.
My aunt and her duaghter both diagnosed with lung cancer at the same time what are the odds? Hot particles have been blown around the planet. Fuck those slit eyed bastards.
actually japan is a cia american controlled state they decide over japanese media, national and international policy
This was Japan's 911:
http://www.jimstonefreelance.com/stuxnet.html
Yes, they and Germany both experienced the "blessing" of FED controlled bank established (1) day after their individual surrenders. It's the gift that keeps on controlling.
And Ce-137 is infinitely more dangerous irrespective of where the fuck it came from? Are they conducting a nice little scientific study to narrowly assess ONLY "The spread of Ce-134 caused directly by Fukushima"? Should the objectine not be more relevantly to assess the potential health risks of ALL radiation (Irrespective of its source) for "we the people"? And take action(s) as necessary......
I read that radiation in bananas is safe, so as long as the cesium and strontium are in a banana, you are ok. /sarc.
I am not too worried. I have Obamacare Compliant Insurance that covers bone cancers, brian cancers and radiation burns.
Now, if I could only find a doctor who accepts Obamacare!
0bama is in HI getting another dose ...
Q: Around how much cesium-137 has the accident released into the open sea?
A: Twelve to 15 petabecquerels (one petabecquerel equals 1,000 trillion becquerels) of cesium-137 released into the atmosphere fell into the Pacific Ocean via rainfall. It is believed that an additional 3.5 petabecquerels flowed into the ocean when water used to cool the melting fuel rods immediately after the accident was contaminated and released.

__________________________________________________________
Since the numerous global criminal governments control all aspects of information release through threats to careers, imprisonment or random accidental deaths then this information was most likely endorsed to be released and far lower than actual numbers.
Since you don't understand anything that you are talking about, what difference does it make how much information you have? I'll give you some numbers, below 100 ccpm is releasable. Will that make you happy?
'All in all, this article is a very shallow dip into a very deep subject.'
Very few articles go into depth on the amount of enriched uranium and plutonium blown across the planet in the jetstream, and now the ocean currents. With half-lives into the hundreds of millions of years.
This planet is finished, on a long enough timeline. Human extinction in less than 300 years.
No, human rule ends in less then 30 years.
I guess Idiocracy was wishful thinking. lol
<< the oceanic radiation plume released by Fukushima is likely to hit the North American West Coast in force in 2017, with levels peaking in 2018. Most of the radioactive material from the disaster is likely to stay concentrated on the western coast through at least 2026. >>
I'm sure Jerry Brown is right on it.
And his sister, Kathleen Brown, former CA Treasurer who has been with GS since, is probably now putting together nuclear disaster derivatives and selling them to municipal pension funds.
Just think about it--FUSION POWERED high speed rail!
The Earth reaches 9 billion people by the year 2060 ... that's 45 years into the future. It's a pretty safe bet that we will have reached a critical limit by the time ... we have already far exceeded the Sustainable Population on this planet (in the range of 2-6 billion people, depending on what you assume for an acceptable lifesyle).
But YES, your figure is probably closer to the truth. Very serious things start happening in the computer simulations in the timeframe 2025-2030 AD. That's only 15 years ahead. This does not mean that the whole planet melts down. But some places do. This has got nothing to do with Global Warming or radiation from Fukushima. It's about overpopulation, consumption of limited resources, stress, human greed, and power politics.
Planet not finished, life here is finished.
Ce137 and Sr90b both have half lives of about 30 years, so we can stop worrying about the release of those 300 YEARS AFTER THEY CEASE BEING RELEASED!
"Ce137 and Sr90b both have half lives of about 30 years, so we can stop worrying about the release of those 300 YEARS AFTER THEY CEASE BEING RELEASED!"
Please tell us if the levels of Ce137 and Sr90 are "safe", if they are reduced by a factor or 1000* after 300 years, and please tell us how eager you would be to drink said water yourself -- especially in light of the fact that you previously said "NO radiation levels are safe".
* 1/2^(300/30)=1/1024
Well under the old limits or the newer much higher limits?
The "new and improved" limits.
Seasonally adjusted limits, twice over.
"Unexpectedly" higher limits.
