Highest Radiation Ever Detected At Fukushima: 10+ Sieverts An Hour
Remember all those idiots who claimed that Fukushima is contained, or better yet, the drama is exaggerated? Perhaps it is time to exile them all, starting with that moron from MIT, to Fukushima where the radiation measured at the base of the main ventilation stack just hit an all time high 10 sieverts/hour. The truth likely is much uglier: this is simply the highest reading the devices are able to record. In other words, there does not exist a device that can capture the true extent of the catastrophe at Fukushima!
From Bloomberg:
“I suspect the high radiation quantity was an aftermath of venting done,” Matsumoto told reporters in Tokyo. “The plant is not running. I don’t think any gas with high radiation level is flowing in the stack.”
Tepco sent three workers around the ventilation stack today after a gamma camera detected high radioactivity levels in the area yesterday, Matsumoto said. The workers were exposed to as much as 4 millisieverts during the work, he said.
The utility will create a no-go zone around the stack and cover the area with protective material, he said.
At least with Chernobyl, 5 months after the explosion it was pretty much well-known what the damage really is. In Japan, however, the ongoing attempt to hide everything from the general population, many of whom will pay for their government's lies with their lives, means that reality will only gradually be comprehended. By the time all is said and done, Japan's demographics will be far, far worse than even today. But who cares: that will be some other administration's (and unborn generation's) problem.

I gave u some green. an exceptional post.
I getting really tired of all this Fukushima shit. Perhaps if we ignore it better it will go away.
The head-in-the-sand complex started right after the earthquake, particularly amongst the "nucular" industry whores like Jay Lehr of that industry bordello otherwise known as the Heartland Institute.
He said as follows, - [from http://www.kpax.com/news/workers-scramble-to-cool-reactors-official-says...)
While some analysts said Japanese officials had not informed the public quickly enough about the evolving crisis, Jay Lehr, science director at the Heartland Institute in Chicago, said he was "100% confident" that Japan would be able to solve the problems at its nuclear plants.
"Nobody builds better power plants than Japan, because they are the most seismically active country on earth. They are built to withstand this very earthquake," he said.
"I am absolutely, 100% confident that they will be able to solve the existing problem of a meltdown, if it is occurring, that they will be able to totally eliminate the escape of any radiation," he said.
Whores like these have totally fuk ed the country. But, I suppose in the final analysis, they drive up the prices of pms. Its my only solace at this point.
Fuck me. This is horrifically bad and NO ONE is talking about it!
Fuck me is right. This is not horrifically bad, it has BEEN horrifically bad for a long long time now. It is apparently not even news to NPR.
Bloomberg seems to be the only news org following it. They had this last week, on the head-in-sand, [from http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-07-28/fukushima-teacher-muzzled-on-ra...]
"“It’s all invisible. The trees are still trees, people are shopping, the birds are singing and dogs are walking in the street,” said Chris Busby, a visiting professor at the University of Ulster’s school of biomedical sciences, who visited Fukushima prefecture last week to provide information on health risks. “When you bring out the (Geiger) machines, you can see everything is sparkling and everyone is being bitten by invisible snakes that will eventually kill them.”
Its a downer for the nuke boys, so we all better just shut up about it.
NPR's thing is emotion. Science is proven facts.
Turd - I read reports that on the West Coast of the US people exposed to the gas cloud from Fukashima were breathing in between 5 and 10 hot particles per day. The plant is still leaking and these particles are still being emitted. Radioactive material tends to concentrate in the environment but lets just assume for simplicity that in the atmosphere it merely dilutes. So by now these hot particles have spread probably fairly uniformerly in the atmosphere. In the Northern hemisphere we're all breathing in this shit. We're getting maybe 1 hot particle evey 10 days - fuck it lets say every 100days. That means everyone is getting 3-30 of these a year. These particles are persistent carcinagens. The conclusion is rather obvious and very very grim - WE ARE ALL GOING TO FUCKING DIE OF CANCER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want to reduce the population this is a sure fire way of doing it. Sushi anyone!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_radiation_syndrome
I read that report too but I think they were speculating on the 5 hot particles inhaled during April in the Seattle area. That was just for April when we got the brunt of this because the jetstream was bringing it right to their door step. Also, the Pacific Northwest will continue to get the lion's share of these in the US as most of this shit comes down with the rain and the coast has no mountains to purge the clouds. They are the first dumping ground. There are plenty of things we can do to boost immune system and becoming vegetarian is a good idea at this point. Washing vegtables in baking soda and vinegar will help, and peeling the ones that can be. This will be necessary to prolong life for all of us. What a fucking nightmare but it's not hopeless.
HOW INSENSITIVE!
I SAY: Le'ts all donate 50 cents with out next Ebay purchases to Fukiwhatever to flush out all our guilt!
I was just wondering today when something on Fukushima would slip through the news blackout. A google search this a.m. showed all of nothing.
I don't think it is a great idea to use Google search anymore. They seem to be filtering their information. I had much better results using other search engines on certain'sensitive' topics.
What engines do you recommend?

don't ever look at the NG productive curve...your head will blow up
I like to think of a fracked gas well production curve as being just like the curve of population decline after the global oil trade stops.
I like to think of it as pulling demand forwar, er, I mean pulling production forward. All for the low low price of capital!
That said, tight NG plays (shale, etc) make dollar sense but only at higher prices than most are used to today.

Do we have your permission to panic yet or do we need to wait for more facts to come out?
indeed.
(cool word art at link)
Green shoots? As in green radioactive mutated limbs offshooting from people?
Yes - shut them all down.... and maybe, for good measure, close the barn door after the horse has bolted.
Not attacking your assertion, but I only see half a solution in the statement ... care to opine on the other half, which is "what you replace them with".

Convert all our hamster wheels to local power generators. Problem solved......and at least we're doing something useful for a change. :)
Hamster wheels could employ millions of people, produce electricity, and slim down quite a few of those who are overweight in the population.
Re what you replace them with?"
The nuke plants or the horses?
Two problems, one answer: 1 billion Chinese (with rickshaws and/or bicycle generators).
What do you replace them with? I would think that would be obvious.
Total world generating capacity from nuclear power plants is about 360 gigawatts. At the price I pay, a gigawatt-hour costs about $100,000. So the value of world nuclear generating capaciy is about $36 million per hour. Which is about $315 billion per year.
So just print an extra half-trillion bucks a year (rounding up), and shut them all down! Easy! In fact, I expect there's that much in the Federal Reverse's petty cash and office supplies fund!
No, actually, replace them with Thorium. Thorium, thorium, thorium, thorium. LFTR plants. Uranium power generation is an abomination.
Sure, more actinides is the answer. If you're gonna blow $315B a year, why not just pay people to conserve?
LFTR replace all.
Including coal, NG, and oil!
Lob two penetrators under the complex and detonate the nuclear warheads so that the cavern carved out by the fireball will be big enough to collapse the entire Fukushima complex.
Wait a time for the ocean or cloud to settle and then throw down a third nuke designed to burn out everything down there and entomb it forever.
Some of you have laughed and jeeered at me ever since day one for this idea.
Well it's at the point at which Radiation can no longer be measured in greater and greater quanity.
I still advocate a day of fire, fallout and sharp radiation versus a Decade of a dying world.
Buy the Sievert Dip.
Radiation is transitory, no?
It's both transitory and good for you!
It is, on a long enough time line.
Don't worry, core radiation expectations remain contained
by this you mean what?
Becquerel is French for transitory, just saying ...
Regards,
Cooter
The radiation is transitory. But the radioactivity will be around for a long time. And as long as there is radioactivity, there will be radiation.
I once heard it put this way: the radiation is the stink. The radioactivity is the shit. And there are huge piles of shit at Fukushima.
life in japan is transitory
+1 simply for your avatar. I wish it were bigger.

All those tens of millions of Japanese will need someplace to move to ... & the US has houses coming out of their ying yang...not to mention we could use some thrifty, harding working types over here to rebuild the manufacturing base...
Housing crisis solved (Japanese immigration will go wild with all the cheap land & housing available in the US) - check
Unemployment crisis solved - (via jobs created by restart in housing bubble and building new manufacturing plants for Japanese firms & teaching jobs for english & japanese as second languages) - check
Savings rate goes up (thanks to thrifty Japanese, sparking new demand for US Treasuries paying .0001% interest) - check
Nuclear fallout - no problem - its all good man!!!
Yea baby
transitory...
For people in Japan hopefully - they need to get transitory and move the hell out of the area. TEPCO is like the bad jelly of the month club that keeps on giving
I thought they fixed that and everything was all better.
According to Doug Cass...Japan, as a result of the disaster, "is the buying opportunity of a generation." At the time he made the call, he vaguely suggested, as all have, that Fukushima was under control.
Cass is a complete moron. Make's me cringe to even type his worthless name.
Do NOT question your masters.
Just hitch up to the Ponzi plow and pull you jackass, pull.
YAW!

Fabor is hard on Japan too. I don't get it.
i was thinking aout sending some extra cash to my dad....hes building a new house ...we could do with a bunker tooi guess...
you can tell him he won't need to bother with the lighting, all will become clear as day at night from now on...
Ah, Fukushima. Remember Fukushima?
Based on MSM coverage, we're not supposed to remember it of course. Nuclear disaster? What?! Nah, that's OLD news... The masses moved on to a new circus long ago.
NPR rolled out a "special" this morning on the killing of Osama.
Look! A distraction!
You had to do didn't you?! I was hoping to never come across an NPR reference on these boards and ... then ... YOU happened. I'm not mad just disappointed is all...
Listening to Steve Inskeep and Cokie Roberts facilitates my Two Minute Hate.
You put "special" in quotation marks, but you forgot to put "Osama" in quotation marks.
Remember Godzilla?
This is because the corium is melted into the concrete. If they get near any vent that comes close to that, it's going to be insane radiation, although it may be decreased in other areas since the corium is partially encased in Concrete now by virtue of it melting through to it.
By now, radiosilver production is picking up inside the corium. In a few years they could put a mine in and start producing bars like the eastern Europeans were doing. The remains of the fallout also has traces of radiosilver, as found by Korea back in April. People just aren't looking at the bright side of all this.
You know that you are seriously SOL when even the silver lining of this disaster is dangerously radioactive.

I thought raising the debt limit fixed this.
It does, you can soon entomb the whole of Daiichi with the paper coming off of Bens printer. I mean paper covers rock, right? and... radioactive particles as well, no?
<------ Screwed
<------ Meh! Transitory.

The advantage the unborn generation will have needs to be taken into account... I mean its easier to fix stuff with 5 arms and 3 legs right? ;-)
The current rad levels we receive in the USA right now are about half what most of us grew up with due to atmospheric nuclear testing in the 40's and 50's, which has decayed since (mostly). We're down to radon from the uranium in the ground, and cosmic rays, which no one can avoid unless they live in a mine. Japan near the reactor, now that's a bad place to be right now. On the scale of the earth, not so bad anyplace else, and not likely to get worse anytime soon. Now, if someone planted a large bomb there and blew all that crap up into the air, that'd be slightly more scary, but I kinda doubt that.
Please inform yourself before spouting this bare nonsense?
The amount of radiation from Fukushima is estimated to be 20 times that of Hiroshima according to Professor Tatsuhiko Kodama of Tokyo University.
Also, it is cumulative, and this does not include the very difficult measurement of hot particles (alpha radiation). Please see the video in my post below?
Yes, the radiation of Fukushima hit the jetstream, and was (and still is) deposited on the western US and Canadian coast. Also, the northern Pacific Ocean is fucked. Slowly these hot particles will spread throughout the Northern Hemisphere, and then all over the planet. Just like they've already permeated most of Japan and it's surroundings.
Extend and pretend doesn't really work if your offspring doesn't have healthy genes. You can agree or disagree with that, it's all the same to me. What matters is that it's time, finally to regard the true impact of fission nuclear in the hands of madmen and stop it, before another plant (in the US) blows up. The risk is not imagnary: you don't need a terrorist with a bomb, you got your government and the NRC who are setting you up right now.

Did you read anything the guy wrote? Care to look at the bigger picture?
Of course I did. I am looking at the bigger picture: It says fission nuclear is creating more problems than we can solve. It also says that commercial nuclear fission plants can NEVER be safe. There has to be cost savings for them to be profitable. Costs are saved in safety measures, protocols and all that.
Look, in the US of A, there's a number of fission plants of the BWR type that are about to do a tripple Fukushima. A few hours of non working Diesel generators (without backup) or non-insulated cables that haven't been checked in 40 years are all it takes. WHY IS THIS NOT ADRESSED?
THe answer to that question leads you straight to the bigger picture...
It's very dark Malikai, it's against human beings as a species. Do you have children? I still want some. We can't really handle radiation well. Especially children, that grow, and have many cell divisions. We'll simply die out. Disappear. Genocide. The elite, the bankers, the billionaires too. EXTINCTION EVENT. Some find my conclusion slight out of hand, but really, if you know that "genetic passports" are about to be issued in Kazachstan, that say who can procreate and who can't, because their gene pool is so messed up, they have to take that action, and that roughly 250K chlidren in the Fukushima Province get little cute toys that are used to measure the radiation they catch (invisible snake) as part of a long term experiment, instead of that the government gives them DOSIMETERS (which cost the same) to give them the means to stay out of hot spots, then I'm not guessing, but I know it's fucked up. Really I can't come to any other outcome, believe me I want to!

tick tock... o__0
just think of the increase in productivity...
GDP will fly, trust me...
Thats what they meant by a V shaped recovery.... every quad limbed future child of fukushima will increase GDP!!
Buy big Phama fucked up kids have got to be bullish, right
it is much worse than bad.
just wait until the cancer numbers come in. and then get revised. and re-revised to the Nth.
and that's only in Japan.
then we will review Pacific NW data.
and then we will all have much regret that we did not focus on FuckYouShima when we had a chance and instead bickered over Monopoly-like deluded monies and imaginary meaningless debt-ceilings.
cancer and mutation are real. fake monies are just that.
There are prevailing trade winds that go straight into L.A., too.
Bug or feature?
As with software, it depends on your perspective. Are you a nuclear plant engineer, or are you a down wind end user?
Shit, all I know is I saw a map of the radiation blowing over L.A. into AZ and NM and since the Rockies are not too big there I assume it goes all the way to FL.
