Trace of radioactive materials detected in Osaka, NHK, May 19, 2011:

Osaka’s Institute of Public Health announced on Thursday that tiny amounts of cesium-134 and cesium-137 were found in samples collected from its rooftop between April 1st and May 2nd. [...]

It says it was the first-ever detection of cesium-134, and that levels of cesium-137 were 100 times higher than usual, concluding that the materials probably come from the Fukushima plant.

  • This also supports my extending the evacuation zone to 300km or more.

    How about starting to take me a little more seriously?

    By the way. its not a “prediction” its a theory of likely events in a sequenced chain reaction.

    The truth is often hard to swallow when it comes in such large doses.

      I just read this on NHK that the evacuees will be resettled by August? They are living in a dreamworld?

      Govt aims to resettle evacuees by August

      The Japanese government plans to finish removing debris near residential zones in the tsunami-devastated areas by the end of August.

      It will also speed up the construction of temporary housing and attempt to close most evacuation shelters by mid-August.

      Breached embankments along rivers will be reinforced by July.

      Tacoma –

      In your estimation, will there be any safe place above ground that’s habitable left on the globe? I’m thinking the equator will act as a natural shield for a lot of this radiation. Northern SA is usually out of any jet stream as well in places such as Brazil.

        Yes.

        There are sooo many unknown factors… Though I assume that there is nothing to stop them. So it all depends on the extent of the damage they create…

Its literally the farthest away from Japan as the world turns and jet streams go, and nicely snuggled in the Southern hemisphere. Also, they have no desire to start a nuclear power industry either. And they speak English and need computer IT people like me (worked at Google as a server repair guy and help desk IT with governments).

      I know how you feel. We flew right into the fresh Chernobyl fallout area to live in for 10 years. I want to say it took some weeks before I could get some info (Strahlentelex) and to then make a plan on how we were going to deal with it. My toddler had been drinking a liter of milk contaminated milk a day as I did not know that it was so bad as we could not understand anything anyone was saying. We ate everything until I got the info and I translated it with a dictionary and then we stopped eating everything and ate sprouts and wheat from the last years crop and tuna and milk shipped from the usa. We did not have potassium iodide either and so far (the kids are in their 20s) they are all really healthy. If you can control what he eats from now on out that will be a good thing.

      There is some confusion over location. The Daiichi plant is NOT in Fukushima city. The city of Fukushima in Fukushima prefect is a good distance west of the plant and out of the original and extended evacuation zones. Levels were elevated but only moderately so. Fallout to the northwest was significantly greater.

      Mistaken assumptions that the contamination is extreme are hurting even the cities non-food export businesses. While it is appropriate to be informed and concerned, fear-mongering harms people that are trying to recover. The economy was slow before. Things are hard enough without being faced with discrimination. Some children that moved to other areas because of the tsunami are facing discrimination, being treated as if they are radioactive and a danger to be around.

      A beautiful old hotel that’s been operating for over 300 years is going bankrupt. It is in an area that never got significant exposure.

            “but you want to assure us

            There was a post about “children near the reactors”.

            So no, I just wanted it to be clear that the nothing-to-be-happy-over but allowable elevated levels in the city are not the same thing as the insanely too much levels at the plant. People are identifying the plant by the name of a city that it is not in.

            If I had children in that city I’d want to go somewhere else. The schools are still keeping them inside even though levels are showing below the maximums. Does everything have to be judged as insanely bad or non-existent? There is middle ground.

            Obviously no one wants to get the worst allowed whether it is radiation or the count of rodent droppings and insect parts in your hot dogs. Having the overwhelming majority survive it still doesn’t make it healthy or completely harmless.

          “I would certainly become a fearmonger, even a panicmonger, if I had enough information.”

          A story about a still very low concentration isn’t it. Much of the northern hemisphere is experiencing the same thing, disturbing even it is far less than what some others have level with for decades.

          If you want to bring up things there is more reason to fear, things like the coverup after the breeder plant accident, the fuel processing criticality accident, the long term and accelerating increases in the California (and probably elsewhere if you bother to look) Thyroid cancer rates, public NRC plant records (some summarized by the UCS)… it goes on an on.

          There’s plenty to be concerned or perhaps fearful over. But getting excited over every spot with some measured fallout gets pedantic after a while. How about farmers struggling to pay for hay because the grass is contaminated? There are plenty of better stories.

        The graphs are from real-time instruments, the other tests are from samples periodically collected (weekly??), sent to a lab, then posted (added) to the database. Just after that time, days after rain, is when tests near me showed something in the milk. That fits with peak levels of airborne concentrations.

            Some of the EPA flaky monitoring can be blamed on the contractor who got the role with no competing bids under the Bush regime.

            “The EPA contracted this responsibility to a private company, Environmental Dimensions, Inc.

            Environmental Dimensions, Inc (EDI) has provided maintenance for EPA’s RadNet monitoring systems under a sole source contract which can be viewed at the end of this article. The base amount of the contract is $238,000.00. This does not include materials and travel, which is billed back to the government as needed.

            The contract was awarded to what is stated as a “Woman-owned 8(a) Small Disadvantaged Business“. The disadvantaged woman in this case is EDI company president Patricia S. Bradshaw, former Deputy Under Secretary of Defense appointed by George Bush.”

  • My biggest reason for contributing to these forums is indeed anger. I am angry at what is going on. However I channel that anger to assist others in fighting this current system of misinformation and omitted murder.

    The whole time tepco was reporting to be making progress. (by the iaea). I was flabbergasted at the strategy of their efforts on preventing the situation from a catastrophe. I am on almost every post on the facebook iaea page.

    You could actually go to the reports released there(in sequence) within 1 day – 2 days before each reactors explosion and see physically that the comments I left stating which reactor would blow and when… All prior to their demise… (fyi: there is no physical way for me to plant that information).

    Meanwhile I sat and argued that the situation was a runaway train. since march 16th.

    Ive been called crazy, on that site. Though, I can physically prove that in all reality I have been right with a 90% accuracy on all dates and times I have put into theory in regards to this crisis…

    I also have backups of these same comments on my personal facebook page ALL “predating” each piece of information they counter.

    I told the iaea and its users that there was meltdown all along. Explained the evidence to support my claims and was toned down (as well as banned several times) (with my comments removed). Hence my anger now…

    Anyone can check via their own facebook. Type: iaea in the search box. on facebook… it is the first result.

    Go back 1-2 days before each explosion.
    I clearly stated over 24 hours ahead of time; The exact fate of each reactor in the appropriate sequence. to almost the exact time and date…

    Anyone there could vouch for this.

    The iaea is pathetic. They like tepco have withheld data that is crucial in protecting the integrity of japanese citizens. They should all be hung. As this is a crime against all of humanity.

    Though, I try to stray away from representing myself as a conspiracy theorist, or a mentally delusional person. (as some users have claimed).

    I am in fact a very intelligent person. I have solid values – good intentions.

    I am attempting to warn you all. That mathematically you all can in fact prove… Tepco is running out of time… That is all I am here for, Thats the only motive I have.

      I try to check the IAEA site whenever I’m on the computer and I agree with you that they are pathetic. Often they do not even update their site.

    Peace to you tacomagroove. I appreciate your thoughtful reply to

    anger as you have. If as you say this a runaway train from the
    beginning, slinky making it’s way down the stairs, then all that is left
    is to watch it unfold and pray it turns out not as dire as you propose.
    It will be catastrophic either way–in slow motion over the years and
    decades or we will all get sick in a quick way from the fall out.
    There is not much we can do to alter the corium going into the earth.

    Governments lie to their people all the time. Truth causes panic. I
    too want the truth from my government. I too want testing
    resumed. It is criminal not to do so. The only credible testing
    going on is at the UC Nuclear Lab.

    American Nuclear Plants Have Fukushima’s Flaws—And We’ve Ignored the Warning

    Sam Biddle — Five years ago, Anthony Sarrack, an engineer at a Minnesota nuclear plant, warned the US government that their common emergency vents wouldn’t work in a disaster. He was ignored. Two months ago, Fukushima exploded because of those same vents.

    The good news is that you only have traces of the rabies virus in your brain. The bad news? It don’t take much!

    Well, it appears from reading these posts, that living, is a worst-case scenario.

    I can confirm that I live just north of Seattle, and that:

    i) there is no oil in our standing water
    ii) plants look completely normal – very green and leafy

    And yet, I’m not dim enough to believe everything is ok.

    I sense that there are better ways to boil water, geothermal for instance, and that most of these nuclear people ought to just drop dead, or take up some other hobby. The world has seen enough. Nobody can solve it.

    I wish I could be the party-pooper and say “Nuclear is dead, kiss it goodbye.” Enough is enough.

    The possibilities for productive, exciting and fruitful life still exist, and without nuclear, as they did for thousands of years before it arrived.

  • Well, I can assure anyone who wonders, northern Ca. is getting TONS and Tons of whatever this unholy concoction is!!!! My plants leaves have holes, pitted spots, brown spots, deformed new-growth shoots, terribly STUNTED size,…and premature flowering that’s JUST PLAIN WRONG!
    The yellow particles are visible in the air some days, the weather is AT LEAST 3 months ‘Off’,…no baby deer, no pregnant Mama’s, only adult ‘funky looking’ females who no longer ‘jump’ when my dogs bark at them at the fence,…..no young squirrels, no baby birds in nests, (that I can see, and I see them every year),….sick pets EVERYWHERE, sick roommates,…sick spiritual Mom dying in a hospital,….personal ‘signs and symptoms’, that FRANKLY Ray Charles, God rest his soul, would SURELY have seen with his senses,….And, I’ll finish my list with a new warning,….the deniers are getting VERY pissy,…and their anger is about to look for targets. I am going to walk softly after already warning ad nausium,…so that I can continue to carry on the message, right?
    Oh, and a personal decision I’ll share that may be seen by other’s soon. What would you do if your roommates were in denial and letting their dog’s suffer and you knew the cure, if you will,…and, they have asked you not to ‘feed’ their dogs? Would you honor your word to your friends, while watching the HELPLESS animal suffer? Or, would you come to the aid of the ‘choiceless one’? What would you do? What will you do?

    Hey Bob Buin,
    Many thanks to Jill, she’s right on. You Go away, unless you have
    something nice to say, possibly even educative.
    Jill!
    do you have any way of sending cell-phone pix of your most
    obvious examples to somebody who can Post them somewhere?
    The Plant damage you’re describing could be very moving to folks
    who might otherwise be skeptical.

    Do you have any other contacts at all there in NorCal to chime in
    about the yellow residues and symptomologies and stuff?
    Poor DogGIES!
    This is important now, Jill,
    This kind of ignernt behavior by these roommates might be enough
    to dictate you get somewhere else to Be, before worse IGNERNCE
    shows up to hassle your life?
    Huggies and Chlorella Powder.

  • Jack–I don’t have a camera at this time,…I use silly disposables,…I’m a dark-ager. Particularly my strawberry and tomato leaves. The strawberries look just like acid rain burned tiny holes all over, especially the lower leaves,…near the water. I am in an agricultural area with loads of farmers,……and that is whom I will be speaking in front of next week again. I know that one of the County Supervisors is also a HUGE almond grower. I have this man’s ear. Hopefully, I can at least get some folks asking the questions that I KNOW MUST be on their minds. This guys is a good Farmer–I am excited to help the scales fall off of some peep’s eye!
