Cesium in sea may return in 20 to 30 years, Kyodo, September 15, 2011:
Radioactive cesium that was released into the ocean from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant is likely to flow back to Japan’s coast in 20 to 30 years after circulating in the northern Pacific Ocean in a clockwise pattern, researchers said Wednesday. [...]

Thank you Japan government, TEPCO and IAEA (and likely many others including the USA) you absolute fucking morons.

Fukushima and most Japanese reactors are BRITISH projects. TEPCO is being controlled today by the BRITISH.
Study more. its all on the net.

I think it is completely irrelevant which government’s project anything is…can’t we ever get over this “my country your country” stuff?
We’re all in this together…

20 to 30 years is bullshit. The radiation is already surrounding japan.

Along with decaying houses cars, Whole cities, bodies, and even more googles more of oil, radiation and biological matter.

wow all the posts have disapeared?? wtf? i clicked on it from the front page currently showing only 2 comments… this happened before and i got back on the posts by clicking on the recent comments!…@admin? was it you? at least the ddos thing has stopped!

Hi Airlight
Clicking F5 or clicking the refresh has helped me to see all the posts.
Hope this helps you.

That happened to me once. I think admin was trying to start all over again with a new discussion thread. But for a while everything was gone, including all the comments. And I wasn’t able to post a comment, either. It fixed itself after a while.

from article: “the cesium is expected to first disperse (spread) eastward into the northern Pacific. It will then be carried southwestward before some of it returns to the Japanese coast carried northward by the Japan Current from around the Philippines.”
Cesium-137 (half-life=30 yrs ‘decay rate’)
HAZARDOUS to LIFE Span = 300 YEARS!!!
So it will circle, accumulate and spread throughout the pacific at least 10 full times at this point. (for longer than than the USA has even been a country)

British Royal Family has a huge investment in nuclear power mostly uranium mining.
The uranium mines in US are mostly on land belonging to native americans.This land was considered useless at the time. The Indians who operate the mines have died in droves although this is solving our “indian problem” what will the future for nuke power be if we run out of indians to mine it.
Green clean nuclear power it’s the future and queeny gives her royal stamp of approval.

Warning (sarcasm mode on)…This report of dangerous cesium here and there everywhere is just obviously bogus because there was not a one iota of radiation that leaked into the water off Fukushima. How do we know? The prestigious Woods Hole Institute in America says so:
On June 18, 2011 the international team led by Ken Buesseler of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute completed its 15-day research expedition to take water and biological samples in the Pacific Ocean off the Fukushima nuclear power plant. They came within 20 miles of the complex.
This is an excerpt of their radiation report released in PDF format July 18, 2011:
“During their time at sea, members of the team monitored radiation levels on board the ship daily and found these were well below any level that would be cause of concern for direct exposure. In fact, because they were at sea, the levels were below what the team would have been exposed to had they been on land, primarily due to natural radiation from soil and rocks.
Radiation levels in the area the team worked were not of concern for direct human exposure. Had the team detected high levels of radioactivity on the ship or in the ocean, it would have notified authorities immediately and left the area in which they were working for a a safer location.”

Yes…now we know there is nothing to worry about…nothing to see here…move along!

I think their name might be changed from Woods Holes to something more descriptive don’t you think? Because they certainly had their heads up some hole while on the trip to miss what the Green Peace ship found in abundance:

I am sorry to say it, but many scientists are just servants of the industry. They pretend doing research and can fabricate any false “proves”, needed.
If someone know Russian, or would bother to translate it, this is a link to a summary from the press conference when first amounts of radioactive water were dumped.

Leaks still haunt Japan’s damaged nuclear reactors
Article by: KAZUAKI NAGATA , Japan Times
Updated: September 15, 2011 – 8:03 PM
Implications for exclusion zone
After achieving cold shutdowns of reactors 1, 2 and 3, the government may declare parts of the 20-kilometer exclusion zone around the plant safe. It may even let the evacuees return, if the area is decontaminated and crucial infrastructure restored. But the longer the tainted water leaks, the more the radioactive waste will grow, leaving the Fukushima plant vulnerable to further disasters, Ninokata said.
Before the Fukushima crisis can be said to be contained, the holes and cracks from which the water and fuel are escaping must be located and sealed. But this extremely difficult task could take years, because the radiation near the reactors is simply too high to let workers get near them….
