Hong Kong finds radioactive iodine in fish, AFP, May 28, 2011:
[R]adioactive iodine-131 has been found in a sample of fish taken from a wholesale market in Hong Kong, the Government said today. [...]
The level of radiation found in the sample of grey mullet by Hong Kong’s Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department – 7.7 becquerels a kilogram – was well below the Government guideline of 100 becquerels a kilogram. [...]
What is the distance between Hong Kong and Fukushima Daichii Nuclear Plant? Air Miles = 1887 miles or 3036.18 KM

Iodine has a half life of 8 days and its found 1887 miles away. What does it tell us?
Report Comment
* That the accumulation levels are staggering?
* Maybe the half life theories are invalid or not completely understood?
* That the radiation contamination is present half way between Japan and us.

Decay rates have changed recently and continue to change. Scary isn’t it? It’s also interesting that there were the most powerful X class solar flares on the 10th of March, just hours before the earthquake and tsunami.

It must be due to an unknown particle or process.

There are a lot of explanations. Here are a few:
1.) Temperature
2.) Amount or level of material
3.) Mode of release: from transport and other area dumping for dispersion, to direct dumping at site… Fallout rain run off and tributary activity etc.
4.) Timing and isotope activity
5.) Environmental pathway or chain sensitivity – life adapts and is not stagnate, so mutations in natural selection can show varied species and food chain results from past data and events.
6.) Industry “piggyback” dumping under cover of Fukushima disaster.
7.) Isometric capture
8.) Magnetic field fluctuations
9.) Ionosphere insulation
10.) Our vast lack of knowledge about the ocean – little discovery.
11.) Unprecedented history of direct nuclear contamination of the ocean. Most former assumptions are theories on paper – unreliable or flawed.
12.) Gyre, trends or currents affecting dispersion and salinity.
13.) Cosmic fluctuations ie quasar, planets, sun, moon etc. per the Jupiter observation data in 2002.
14.) Geology and weather patterns
15.) Depth and distance
16.) Errors in former isotope half-life hypotheses not yet discovered

17.) A vast history of disincentivized, manipulated or unfunded impact study.

Many thanks for your response.
Much food for thought.
As many of you keep saying:
so many variables. Looks like
we have a researcher’s paradise here.
Enough material for a thousand dissertations.
Items 6 and 17 piss me off.
13 is intriguing.
One last question, perhaps a silly one.
Could the aberrations be caused by
any man made intervention?
This question may not be so silly in light
of the GOM disaster. If you recall
everyone one was initially quite puzzled
when the amounts of oil on the surface of the
water didn’t match the amounts we
saw spewing out via the live cam.
Later we found out that cortex had been
secretly sprayed copiously.

There is NO anomaly in decay rates. a half-life of 8 days means that after 8 days there is only the half of the original isotope left.
So if you measure some Iodine after a longer period of time, this is totally OK.
This only means that there has been a bigger contamination some day before.

by dissapating i believe that they mean dispersing, mingling with water and currents and being diluted. The particles are hanging out together instead.

The decay rates are no longer constant. It is a proven fact. It is also a proven fact that the cause for the change in decay rates is not solar neutrinos, although the Sun seems to have a part.

I just read recently about this effect of solar activity on decay rate in the article linked below, from Aug 2010. It cites research showing the decay rates of silicon-32 and radium-226 were “ever so slightly faster in winter than in summer.” It also says decay rate of manganese-54 “dropped slightly” during a solar flare.
http://news.stanford.edu/news/2010/august/sun-082310.html
Also, the effect has only been observed for a few nuclides, and the authors are careful not to generalize to decay rates in general.
Can you cite a source that talks about a long term change?

Human viruses can mutate rapidly when
working though the human population.
My graduate studies involved human subjects,
with untold variables and great unpredictability.
Could isotopes be similar?
Quantum physics seems to say that there are many unknowns when measuring particles. The very act of measuring changes the response. Intervening with one particle, changes others.
And all of you keep saying that this is all uncharted

We have some shallow guides though, just scratching the surface – they point to some educated expectations and impact in the short term.
Not to long ago, the Earth was circumnavigated and Antartica was a land mass on maps, whole cities off the coast if India and Japan were exposed to air. Around 10,000+ years ago they flooded or froze. Then, the Earth was “flat” undiscovered again – a reset to civilization near Syria was re-recorded. And so it goes… Just not in my transient lifetime. I’m a millisecond blink of an eyelash in a larger body of experience.
This is unprecedented – biological impact.-wise. I can tell you some prior measures of half-life expectation and I can point to some anomalies of same in dissipation or theorize possible causes. I can’t say what will happen – nor could anyone else. We can only honestly say it happened, what some parameters and history are and that there will be impact. We can assume some sane Precaution Principles based on what we know. Philosophically, the specifics of outlier events are unknown or unmeasured but possible. I personally believe many unimagined results will also occur – beyond my life here. Both “good” and “bad,” but even that’s subjective based on your goal apparently. Mine is reasonable quality of life if not downright joy and what I do with that for whatever balance of my time I’ll be granted. I hope to make it meaningful – possibly surpassing my eyelash blink for a better legacy others I’ll never know may find meaningful in their blink too.

It probably just tells us that fish swim, and have done so from contaminated waters. It may also suggest that 1-131 concentrates and survives longer in kelp, which these kinds of fish feed on. It may also suggest that 1-131 that concentrates in the kelp, further concentrates in the the flesh of this specie of fish, lasting for an unknown period. I-131 lasts 100 days in humans, but that does not include all human tissue. The kidneys, for example, only retains it for 7 days.

Hong Kong finds radioactive iodine in fish
http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Asia/Story/STIStory_673587.html
HONG KONG – A SMALL amount of radioactive iodine-131 has been found in a sample of fish taken from a wholesale market in Hong Kong, the government said on Friday.
Hong Kong has been monitoring radiation levels in the city’s food and water supply and atmosphere in the wake of the crisis at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power station.
The level of radiation found in the sample of grey mullet by Hong Kong’s Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department – 7.7 becquerels per kg – was well below the government guideline of 100 becquerels per kg.
‘Based on risk assessment, normal consumption of grey mullets at this low radiation level will not pose any health risk to the consumer,’ the government said in a statement.
The statement did not say whether the iodine could be traced to the Fukushima plant, which released radioactive material into the air and water after it was badly damaged in Japan’s earthquake-tsunami disaster. — AFP

Would a government risk shutting down business in an attempt to stifle conversation, because they fear it might affect the economy of another country?

TEXT FROM BATTLE OF CHERNOBYL.SAME THING IS HAPPENING NOW AT FUKUSHIMA.BUT WHO IS TRYING TO STOP THE LAVA CRACKING THE CONCRETE LIKE CHERNOBYL? NO ONE IT SEEMS.
In Chernobyl the level of radioactivity continues to climb.
6000 tons of sand and boric acid have filled the hole.
But underneath this gigantic plug, the white-hot magma continues to smolder
l remember that, when we were in Moscow, actually we had a friend, a relative of one of my experts, phone and said that we have rumor that second reactor might also explode.
At the bottom of the reactor, 195 tons of nuclear fuel are still burning, giving off incredible heat that is gradually melting the sand.
On the surface of the plug, cracks begin to appear.
Once we plugged up the hole, the temperature started to rise.
We were afraid because it could have caused another explosion.
It was terrifying.
Scientists came to take readings.
They were very worried.
They were afraid the critical temperature would be reached and it would set off a second explosion.
That would have been a terrible tragedy.
The cement slab below the reactor core is heating up and in danger of cracking.
The magma is threatening to seep through.
The water the firemen poured during the first hours of the disaster has pooled below the slab.
If the radioactive magma makes contact with the water, it could set off a second explosion even more devastating than the first.
The country’s top experts are called into action.
lf the heat managed to crack the cement slab, only 1400 kgs of the uranium and graphite mixture would have had to hit the water to set off a new explosion.
the ensuing chain reaction could set off an explosion comparable to a gigantic atomic bomb.
Our experts studied the possibility and conclued that the explosion would have had a force of 3 to 5 megatons.
Minsk, which is 320 km from Chernobyl, would have been razed, and Europe rendered uninhabitable.
We had to stop the process.
If it continued, it would have been…

Thank God it didn’t happen.
There were trains with over a thousand cars in Minsk, Gomel and Kiev, ready to evacuate the population.
The situation is critical.
In Moscow, the state commission decrees two emergency measures.
First, send in a batallion of firemen to drain the water from under the reactor.
They will later be declared national heroes, but will suffer from radiation sickness the rest of their lives.
Second: seal the breach more effectively to bring the temperature down once and for all.
In two days, General Antochkin’s men will drop 2400 tons of lead into the reactor.
When we started dumping lead in, the temperature went down right away.
It absorbed well and sealed the hole as it melted, so there was less radiation.

I cannot believe it! We are praying here that the radioactive contamination will have that big spreading before something happens???
Just imagine the accumulative effects if the radiation can spread more or less unhindered for months from now!

It’s nothing to do with praying, or suggesting a desire for the spread of contanination. It’s more about capable, and invested neighbouring countries providing the real push to urgency that’s evidently so lacking. Given that some people fail to anticipate, recognize scope and consequence of failure to react to immediate dangers, they need to be pushed for the common good of all countries. A good hard push. There’s nothing subtle going on here.

Is Fukushima now ten Chernobyls into the sea?
By Harvey Wasserman
opednews.com
May 26, 2011
New readings show levels of radioisotopes found up to 30 kilometers offshore from the on-going crisis at Fukushima are ten times higher than those measured in the Baltic and Black Seas during Chernobyl.
“When it comes to the oceans, says Ken Buesseler, a chemical oceonographer at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, “the impact of Fukushima exceeds Chernobyl.”
The news comes amidst a tsunami of devastating revelations about the Fukushima disaster and the crumbling future of atomic power, along with a critical Senate funding vote today:
Fukushima’s owner, the Tokyo Electric Power Company, has confirmed that fuel at Unit One melted BEFORE the arrival of the March 11 tsunami.
This critical revelation confirms that the early stages of that melt-down were set in motion by the earthquake that sent tremors into Japan from a relatively far distance out to sea.

At least one spent fuel pool—in Unit Four—may have been entirely exposed to air and caught fire. Reactor fuel cladding is made with a zirconium alloy that ignites when uncovered, emitting very large quantities of radiation. The high level radioactive waste pool in Unit Four may no longer be burning, though it may still be general. Some Fukushima fuel pools (like many in the United States) are perched high in the air, making their vulnerability remains a serious concern. But a new report by Robert Alvarez indicates the problem in the US may be more serious that generally believed.
Unit Four is tilting and may be sinking, with potentially devastating consequences. At least three explosions at the site have weakened critical structures there. Massive leakages may have softened the earth and undermined some of the buildings’ foundations. Further explosions or aftershocks—or a fresh earthquake—could bring on structural collapses with catastrophic fallout.

Exactly. And if you’re doing a land survey, you rarely are looking through more than a few thousand feet of air to see the target. The live feed camera is on a mountain top over 10km away (forgot the exact measure). Anything fog or whatever in between will obscure the plant.

Radiation monitors broke in Japan disaster: Report
TOKYO: Most radiation monitoring systems near Japan’s Fukushima atomic power plant broke down after the earthquake and tsunami which triggered the nuclear crisis, Kyodo news agency said Saturday.
In Fukushima prefecture, 22 out of the 23 monitors around the crippled Fukushima Daiichi plant and nearby Fukushima Daini stopped sending data about three hours after the massive March 11 quake as the crisis unfolded, it said, quoting prefectural officials.
Some were destroyed by the quake or tsunami but disruptions to communication lines and power supplies were the main causes of the breakdowns, one official told Kyodo.
Monitors with satellite line backups also failed to send data, with their antennas probably hit by the disasters.

They have had plenty of time to fix them or replace them. Would you think that a forty-year old nuclear plant would have had sufficient time to buildup an inventory of extra radiation detectors?

Dust Abatement Progress
The infiltration of fine dust continues to be a problem in my garage area. Today, using weather striping I am trying to get a better seal around my garage door and pedestrian entry way. What I have done thus far seems to have curbed about 70% of the problem.
HEPA air purifiers are energy star rated and are now running 24/7. Overall dust abatement in the home continues to be excellent, which is encouraging.
Daily Oral Chelation Protocols
Use for various oral chelation protocols has yielded anecdotal results. Clarity of mind is the most outstanding result, leading to accelerated progress on several fronts.

Nasal Hygiene
One of the human bodies defenses against airborne contaminates is the hair lined nostrils. A surprising amount of dust is filtered out here, considering the volume of air intake in 24 hours, the accumulation of radioactive particles here is likely.
In keeping with the principles of simple nuclear hygiene, nasal reaming is advisable.
Roll some soft toilet tissue up, wet it with RO/DI purified water and form a cone or finger shaped wet cone, carefully insert tip of wet tissue and rotate, reaming the nose.
Caution: avoid breaking the tip off while rotating, it can get stuck.
Carefully & gently done you will be surprised what comes out. Flush or dispose of the used tissue.
Nasal cleansing will reduce the chances of inhaling/ingesting dust borne radioactive particles that have been trapped in the mucus lining and nasal hairs.
This simple protective practice is easy to use. It does not guarantee total safety, but will help reduces potential exposure to internal emitters than endanger the lung and brain. This practice is not safe for children to use on their own.

So the sice of the fallout is endeed far bigger that expected.
I want to backtrack a litle, to some news that drowned in all this miserry, and some sites got it(whatreallyhappened.com).
The probabl reason for this massive coverup and the obscure testing and the disperence of radioactivity, may come from a another facility that also have/had problems and they disapeared from the news early on. And got silenced.
The Tokai reactorsite and Ibaraki they both had/have problems early on.
What is realy goiong on over there, and if they are in meltdown modus, the panic reaction from the Criminals in charge in their eager to sensure news from the fallout, because that puts Japans problems to new soaring hights.
The other aspect is that blaming the people of Japan for this acsident is as meaningless as blaming USA for maintaining and they are a part of this coverup and desperat downplaying.
The problem is the goverments and corporations, with the good help from the MSM. I am afraid this is going to be ugly before they admitt or starts to take this serious.
Covardness and greed, thats is our biggest enemy, not ordinary people.
To the crisis in Japan I can only hope, sins the menn over there have proven them self to be covards and blatant stupid. And they hide behind old patriacal idiotic dogmas like saving their fu… faces, a covards exuse. Blame it on the system, and hide away from responcebility and moral.
I can only hope that the Women in Japan wakes up and take the responcebility, unlike the covard menn, they give birth to the future, and have to akt to protect them. I know their anger is mounting and I hope they start to fight against this system of greed and corruption.

Seafood exports to China to resume
Saturday, May 28, 2011 11:03 +0900 (JST)
Japan’s seafood exports to China are set to resume soon on condition that products are proved to contain safe levels of radioactive substances.
The Fisheries Agency said on Friday that Japan and China agreed on ways to certify product safety and that China notified Japan it would be restarting procedures for quarantine and customs clearance for Japanese marine products.
The agreement says radioactive iodine contained in seafood exported to China should be less than 100 becquerels per kilogram and radioactive cesium less than 800 becquerels per kilogram.

Japan detects radiation
Sun, 29 May 2011
Strong typhoon to hit coast – TOKYO — Japan has revealed radiation up to several hundred times normal levels has been detected on the seabed off the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, a report said yesterday. The Science Ministry announced late on Friday highly radioactive materials were detected in a 300-km north-south stretch from Kesennuma in Miyagi Prefecture to Choshi in Chiba Prefecture, the Kyodo news agency reported.
The ministry warned that the contamination could affect the safety of seafood, the report said, without giving figures for the radiation levels detected.
