Nearly a tenth of Japan contaminated, ABC Australia by Mark Willacy, 22 Nov 2011:
Japan’s Science Ministry says nearly 10 per cent of the country’s land has been contaminated by radiation from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant. [...]
The Japanese Government says some of the radioactive material fell with rain and snow, leaving the affected areas with accumulations of more than 10,000 becquerels of caesium per square metre.
Imagine the actual percentage…

I guess the words ‘most’ and ‘March’ give them a heck of an excuse to play a huge hand in the mass media nuclear blackout

Oh, that’s bad. If they say 10% it is likely 40% or more.
Report Comment
Even if it is ‘only 20%’ the question is ‘which 20%?’. I’m fairly sure it didn’t all come down in one tidy parcel of farmland. Bits and pieces all over the place, and who’s going to check every square inch looking for it?
Box of kak went bang. Kak everywhere.

so that’s like 20% of this island
Report Comment
20% of the island is a nice estimate. Who knows how much fell on Russia and China yet. We still have no measurement of the amount of radiation that will coat Alaska and Canada’s coast. The estimate of 10% is only based on Cesium too so it could be safe to say 10% of Japan will be contaminated with Cesium. The other isotope travel has not been estimated for the US and Canada because of our buttbuddy trade status with Japan. I’m sure in the next few months when the contaminated water come to shore the measurements will show the true nature of TEPCO’s criminal negligence.

you are right.
My dose meter beep once yesterday, it show up to 0.50 uVs/hr in Shenzhen China.
And now the average reading data is 50%-100% higher than the average of some inland China cities, such as Changsha,which is 0.08-0.14 uVs/hr, Center of China.
It now read between 0.08-0.17 uVs/hr.., instead of 0.08-0.15 max 3 months back.
Increase, Increasing..+++++, till end of the time.

Hi john Ih,
Make sure to also post your readings on the Post Your Readings thread. Thanks!

BINGO!!
Thanks two tons for posting these cities’ measurements – let me put it this way:
“you couldn’t have managed to achieve a better close call here”.
Or, in other words, this is where I’ll eventually be able to contribute measurements, too. Unless events turn fully catastrophic, which I dearly hope they won’t… (especially since my guys _are_ already out there)

The other 30% of the island that is contaminated must be from other reactors they haven’t told anyone about yet……

Hello all,
Here is the real important part for EVERYONE to know and click with:
“The Japanese Government says some of the radioactive material fell with rain and snow,…”
Heads up now everyone! Now you have confirmation that this stuff, that is still in it’s entirety totally unknown about, if coming down in the rain and snow.
There are the different radioactive particles they confirm and talk about being in the environment, but let us NOT FORGET that there are radioactive particles being daily spewed out into the environment that they are not talking about.
Bottom-line here, BE AWARE that it has now been OFFICIALLY confirmed that “radioactive material” does fall in the RAIN and SNOW!
Keep those kids indoors when there is precipitation.:

I think we are all in agreement that things are usually 10 X worse then what is officially admitted.

I got a project for anyone who’s a chemist and has these pieces of equipment – Gas Chromatography equipment and Geiger counter will be a must. Get 1 Ionic breeze air purifier test for 1 hour then GC the dust and tell us what you see has changed in the air and the counts per minute. We need to have this data from all around the US being reported daily from as many cities and towns as we can gather data from. I hope you are interested in taking my challenge. I wish I had lab access.

I have 2 Ionic Breeze towers and 1 Hepa Filter cannister. But I do not have, and can not afford to buy, a geiger counter. I live in the flatlands of Berkeley, Ca and would welcome anyone who wishes to take readings here. You can reach me at dharmasydatyahoodotcom. Let me know.

Outnow just discovered some new info about Radiation dated March 2011 which basically says protracted low dose radiation at 1 Sv (by Cox proportional hazard model) was significantly HIGHER for cancer risk.

Buffett sees investment opportunities in Japan
04:45 AM Nov 22, 2011
FUKUSHIMA – Billionaire investor Warren Buffett said yesterday he is unfazed by the recent scandal at Japanese camera maker Olympus and is still looking for investment opportunities.
“We’re looking for companies that have some kind of sustainable competitive advantage,” he said in northern Japan’s Fukushima prefecture. “The fact that Olympus happens here or Enron happens in the United States doesn’t affect our attitudes at all,” he said, referring to an accounting scandal at Olympus that has raised questions about Japanese corporate governance standards.
Mr Buffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, is visiting Japan for the first time to tour a plant of tool maker Tungaloy, after cancelling his trip in March when the country was struck by a record earthquake.
The factory is 40km from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant that was crippled by the disaster. Tungaloy is a unit of an Israeli firm in which Berkshire holds an 80-per-cent stake.
“There are lots of opportunities in Japan,” said Mr Buffett. He is interested in “businesses that will be around for many, many decades”.
Mr Buffett also said yesterday that Europe’s debt crisis had shown up a “major flaw” in the 17-member euro zone system and it would take more than words to fix it. He said he had no idea how Europe’s sovereign debt crisis, which started in Greece two years ago and rages on, would end, though he noted there were good valuations among companies in Europe.
“Not in the debt space, but in the equity space there are opportunities. I can think of a dozen euro stocks that are attractive … There are stocks I like and wonderful businesses.” AGENCIES

More Tepco pablum for the masses… Trying to foster hope that your family in Japan might be living in the mythical 90 percentile. The entire island chain is contaminated, clean food and water is virtually inaccessible to the people below millionaire status (many millionaires have fled to Shanghai quietly.. They are not going to die like some hapless idiot TV announcer).
“Radioactive substances spewed out by the quake-stricken Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant have likely spread to western Japan and Hokkaido, according to a team of Japanese, U.S. and European scientists.”

They could save a lot of paper by just reusing the old headline, “the contamination is massive, but harmless”.
