Soil samples from Japan tested with gamma spectroscopy

The samples from Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture [~20km NW of Tokyo]… There were really high, really clear peaks for cesium…
The gamma signal of the cesium was so strong that it washed out just about all of the other peaks.
The cesium contamination from the soil was so strong that it was impossible to identify the presence of other isotopes using this particular equipment.
Credits: Tom from anti-proton.com did the testing. I also need to thank Frank Daulton, Saga007, and asuperdry.
See the video detailing the results here

Those soil samples are from six months ago, before the black dust arrived. With six months more accumulation from ongoing emissions, wind, rain, transfer of foodstuffs around the country and burning you'd expect the readings to be higher right now.
But, this video is very important because it is the most definitive proof you can get – like Arnie's filters. It also tells you: Tokyo is radioactive.

Check out these maps from the NRC. Note the two bottom ones. On the right shows "Breached Reactors" and on the left the "Pacific Dead Zone". Holy fucking shit…..

I couldn't help notice the Antarctic colouring in the Southern Ocean. Is this information accurate?

Breached reactors: Daiichi+Dani+two more?
I did not know that there are two more breached reactors up north…

But, the MIT mice are telling us we can all relax:

I wonder if the Gates Foundation funded the mice study too:

But, we do know who DOES fund MIT:

Pu239, you've forgotten the "TEPCO Professor of Nuclear Engineering" chair at MIT. TEPCO funds MIT.

good thing he's researching BWR stability…

It's worse than I thought (if that's possible)! Thanks gottagetoffthegrid.
I think I can save him lots of research: they're not stable.
Even if they were stable, Michio taught us what stable really means: hanging by your fingertips.
He should borrow some of those radiation-resistent mice from the lab and have them run the turbines – a lot more efficient, and probably more stable:

Low-dose study finds no effects
16 May 2012
"Mice exposed to low-dose radiation for an extended period showed no signs of DNA damage, said a study from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that challenges existing radiation guidelines.
Living cells are constantly bombarded by ionizing radiation in various forms and from various sources. All this has the potential to damage DNA and unless this damage is corrected by self-repair mechanisms it can result in cell malfunction or the malignancy known as cancer. For most people the additional exposure from nuclear weapons detonation, nuclear power operations or nuclear accidents is a tiny fraction of the total, but this is not the case for everyone. The MIT team said their study contributed to asking the question, "How much additional radiation is too much?" "

Wow, gotta, that's a nasty-looking conflict of interest you've cited – TEPCO Professor of Nuclear Engineering sounds like a bad joke – it's astonishing that it really exists.
My impressions of MIT were formed in more innocent times, largely by White's "Idea Factory" book, where the author described professors who consulted for the oil industry but who rode bicycles to work and tried to live "green".
Good find, but… yuck… another illusion gone, and I don't have many left.

Just like the medical Big Pharma takeover of all universities, colleges and medical schools, so Big Nuke did the same thing…
Just for some fiat $$$$, sell out what really matters. The truth goes out with it, along with all scientific integrity and honesty.
Oops, all we wanted was some $$$, did not know we had to sell our souls.

About that low radiation level in Saga prefecture in southwest Japan… I still think Americans should consider moving to Japan, because there is less radiation there.
Prevailing winds are west to east…

Yes, the continuous emissions over the six months since the samples were taken should up those cesium levels:

The report on the radioactive water vapor from the Japan website Fukushima Diary:
Oshidori Mako talked at Osaka Bar Association when she asked Tepco , “We see gas coming out from Fukushima plants at night. It looks like smoke. What is that ? ” Tepco replied it’s water vapor. She asked them again, if it’s radioactive. They answered it is radioactive, and it comes out in day time and night time.
