AFP: Fukushima radioactive water ‘leaked into Pacific’, AFP, Dec. 6, 2011:
- “Highly radioactive waste water from a crippled Fukushima nuclear plant has leaked to the Pacific”
- TEPCO “believes 150 litres (40 US gallons) of waste water including highly harmful strontium, linked with bone cancers, has spread to the open ocean”
- “The announcement came a day after TEPCO said it found 45 tonnes of waste water”
- “The water leaked to the sea is believed to contain 26 billion becquerels of radioactive materials”
26 billion becquerels in only 150 liters… Imagine how much strontium is in the massive storage tanks

I can’t help but consider that all of the up close and personal whale sightings in the pacific recently are the Whales trying to communicate to us.. to scream for help…what is happening? what have you done? you are killing us and our children.. please, hurry, stop the poison, all the waters are connected, you are killing everything in the ocean.. please stop it!
Human’s that are not capable of placing other life before their own should not be allowed on this planet! Oh wait, the killers have found their new planet, since these evil greedy bastards of economical death and destruction, have a place to go to save themselves, they can allow Fuku and the rest to continue to spew.. new drugs won’t cut it…but new planet will.. but, poor not allowed.. oh, and we destroyed this pathetic planet we leave it to you… Well, newts plan to change the child labor laws due to poor children not having a role model that works, and thus allowing the children the experience doesn’t seem so unhuman.. I mean, with so many available jobs, we should get the kiddos to work… at least the kids of the poor.. I can see it now..no worky for the corporation..no school! UGH!

Newt is a greedy, POS without a conscience. He represents everything that is wrong with the human race. It is disturbing that anyone is actually considering supporting the corrupt turd for president of the U.S. As for tepco/japanese government… whatever they admit should be multiplied by ten, they are liars.
People are continuing to pretend this nuclear disaster is not an issue because they are not willing to cut back on the ever increasing lifestyle. We need to use LESS energy. This attitude will continue until it is in their own backyard or it affects their family or such a global disaster that it can not be ignored. I have tried to convince others that this is a serious problem, but the don’t want to hear it. Sad but true. NO NUKES!!!

Hello Ed,
Ol newt is a lot more than that. He is a CFR globalist corporate flunky among his worst attributes. Just like the rest. He supported and pushed hard the NAFTA agreements and oh, his infidelity and womanizing is well documented along with his lobbying for profit scams. Just another criminal power mongering corrupted whore.

“gerryhiles” just posted this article on another thrad:
“The Death Of The Pacific Ocean — Fukushima Debris Soon To Hit American Shores” by Yoichi Shimatsu
“An unstoppable tide of radioactive trash and chemical waste from Fukushima is pushing ever closer to North America. An estimated 20 million tons of smashed timber, capsized boats and industrial wreckage is more than halfway across the ocean, based on sightings off Midway by a Russian ship’s crew. Safe disposal of the solid waste will be monumental task, but the greater threat lies in the invisible chemical stew mixed with sea water.”

Yesterday I saw an article (can’t remember where, but Japanese media) stating that “Tepco says they would need several weeks to confirm if the leaking water contained strontium”.
Obviously they decided too speed the process up a bit.
Wait: Tepco speeding up? No, I didn’t mean that.

I’m sure they know everything unstable in the processing units, but cesium is the top billing in this show, so they cater to the diva and let the rest starve for publicity.

According to IRSN, the amount of the radioactive isotope cesium-137 that flowed into the ocean from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant between March 21 and mid-July reached an estimated 27.1 quadrillion becquerels.
…then by 2041 the Pacific’s aquatic life will only be subjected to a mere 13.55 quadrillion becquerels of radiation

oh and sea silt moves along the coast.. i think south from fukushima.. it moves slowly for three hundred years! bottom dwelling fish or predator fish are off the menu until the american scientific expedition of 200 scientists decides to release the information they gleaned! wonder what happened there then.. good news.. or bad news… why would they delay good news would be a logical question to make?
definately not good news when we get a report from tepco and no statement from the maritime government agency, no relase of scientific data? this will cause further distress to the population! and the governmentepcorp say that it is unwarranted fear that is causing confusion and “bad trade” …
think i will have to ponder that connundrum for a while today!! look forward to your response as always!
didnt get very far with chernobyl heart i noticed
did you know that amongst others Bono a fellow dubliner and barclays a “very nice bank to do buisness with” support the chernobyl heart foundation…
applying for bank funding is hard in the uk.. all staistics and evidence of your claims must be submitted to the charity funding of the bank who verify the data…
then if youve croosed your t`s etc you get the funding;;
question jdotg, do you think chernobyl hearty has made a fraudulent claim when based against icrpiaea data! you can contact the charity commision uk and forward the data and then the charity would be frozen.. then the non existent children of belarus will just have to suck it up like the polygon victims of kazahkstan have had to. and maybe in the future so will other peoples

It’s just lens flare from a super bright floodlight shining into a crummy webcam lens. If you look closely on the JNN feed, on the right side of unit 4, you’ll see a tiny white spec peeking above the top of the trees. That’s the light, and you can see the bright light from it on the four reactor bbuildings. The smoke effect is just a mix of the poor lens quality, poor video plate quality, and the protective glass cover on the light bulb.

And let me offer that the light is probably shining on the water processing unit, so they clean up the leak.

LOL! Well, when you view nuckelchen’s time lapse video.. the only time there is a line on the view is when the great radiation and light from the sun is shining on it.. some of the blue and red dots maybe.. but that line is from one very bright light.. smoke effect? not in other videos do we see a smoke effect..

I believe that every time we see something new, we jump trying to figure it out, because we know everyone is holding information from us.
I do believe there are people trying to fix this and putting their own lives at risk doing this.
We know this could blow (if it hasn’t already), it’s race against time to stop that from happening.
This already has effected the ocean, air, food, water, and people.
We lost on March 11, 2011, there is no winning solution.
We know what happened at Chernobyl, compared to that disaster, this is humongous. I don’t see how this situation will turn out any better.
If I could visit the Southern Hemisphere for an extended time (most likely forever) I would take my family and leave.
Our next new crops that will be coming in, I believe they will be contaminated, along with everything else. How could they not be with all these layers.
I hope for the best, I expect the worse, along with new diseases, and radiation poisoning.
I am thankful that I am older and have seen my children grow into wonderful adults. I am sad to see their world and my Grandson’s life will be tossed and shaken by this.
Just when we think we have things planed for our lives, sometimes things change. I am learning to be a willow tree, bending with the wind. I have no choice, I can’t change things.

We can all strive to decommission every nuclear reactor and to end use of nuclear weapons and uranium being added to golf clubs, fertilizer and concrete. We can all work to prevent any more nuclear weapons or power plants from being built. We cal all work to put all nuclear waste and nuclear spent fuel rods in dry cask storage. We can all work to prevent any more MOX fuel from being processed. We can all work to prevent any cold fusion (nuclear energy) from being pursued.

I firmly believe that the affect this will have on our oceans will pack a very big ‘punch’ of reality.
Everything is connected. The chain reaction to the atmosphere, biospheres and all other spheres is unimaginable. It is a snowball effect. It starts to roll slowly, just a little at first, almost unseen, then it gains in size and momentum. The ‘spreadation” affect and the accumulation of radioactive contamination is a concept which is difficult for the mind to grasp or fully accept.
Be aware and be prepared.
