Checking North Anna, Free Lance-Star, August 31, 2011:
Is North Anna safe?
[...] Now the question is, did the quake damage the nuclear reactors, underground piping, or critical electrical equipment? What’s more, did the temblor’s intensity exceed North Anna’s design?
It’s not possible, with a multi-ton reactor, to simply crawl under the hood to check for damage. [...]
After Fukushima, but before the recent East Coast quake, the NRC began a review of U.S. nuclear plants and found a few “discrepancies” at North Anna including:
- Portions of the water and gaseous suppression systems and hose stations are not seismically designed.
- A fire-pump storage area is non-seismic.
- Seismically designed floodwalls are located in the non-seismic turbine building.

Dear bmurr: I hear Americans going on and on about their water filters, or drinking filtered (reverse osmosis or otherwise “purified” by distillation, coming from springs, or whatever). Though there are likely some benefits to be derived from filtering one’s water, I seriously doubt and the science is clear on this that anything less than centrifugal purification works to remove radionuclides. Please study the impossibility for your status quo filters to remove, specifically, Tritium to get an idea of why such home systems do not, yet with any current technology available to homeowners, work at all. Remember that water purified in distillation is not free of, at least, Tritium and that other radionuclide contaminates become less likely taken out of the steam as the metal boilers become increasingly radioactive with each water purification process in the manufacture chain of such water products. There is reverse osmosis. Here the membranes themselves become radioactive. I would LOVE for these to be tested by our seditious and sharp ENE crew. I intend to do so whenever I finally receive my, hopefully well working, personal Geiger counter.
Spring water, where it is, in fact, spring water may be the safest source of water, particularly where it can be demonstrated that surface water recharge has not yet reached the water table from which such bottled spring waters are being drawn. Remember that Libya is primarily, not about petroleum, but about it’s enormous fossil water reserves in the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer, where Gaddafi just finished, prior to our invasion, the GMMRP (Great Man Made River Project), which is the infrastructure necessary to mine and deliver this water to port facilities where such 2500-10,000 (or older) fossil water could be shipped to the highest bidder or neo-colonial thief (the EU, US, China, Japan, etc.).
I believe, and this requires a tremendous amount of additional discussion or research on all our parts, if uncontaminated water can be secured sufficient beyond our internal consumption needs, that such remaining uncontaminated water ought be used for careful indoor food production, however, difficult or barrier ridden this process may appear to be at this point at the end, of what I call, the pre-nuclear fallout “Golden Age of Food”.

I would take cell healing stuff while breast feeding. Aloe vera. It has several natural sugar molecules that increase cellular communication…this communication is all about healing and getting rid of bad cells. Some have been known to avoid hair loss during chemo while taking this stuff.

Also unless you drank tap water in Philly or tap water from a big city that has uncovered water resevours on the West Coast, you should be okay. However, just drink bottled water from a tested source. Even cheap bottled Dollar Store water may be better.

Or get well water. Thank goodness I bought a parcel of land in this retired hippy community in the woods that has atleast a community well. Hippy Power ftw!

Live in new haven CT, water comes from local resivour, we aren’t too far from Jersey. We use a Brita for all water out of tap, not sure if it is effective for iodine. Ill keep. You guys posted if anything happens.
I will discuss your advice with my wife too, thank you!

bmurr,…Be of good cheer–many prayers to you and the babe! My BFF’s son and daughter-in-law, just had a PERFECTLY healthy baby girl on Aug. 5th. They live in Chico, Ca. and are very ‘outdoorsy’ Yes? She was out in it! The fetus was probably already 5 months (ish) when Japan blew,…the first trimester is the hardest hit, I am told. You, or your lady, were most likely past the first tri.
Prayers are powerfull-you have Mighty one’s at work as we speak!

You can communicate with ‘reputable’ geiger counter sellers on Ebay, typically from post-Chernobyl countries!…There are some good brands in U.S., too. Maybe you should contact your local radiological department in govt. and universities?

They probably are highly reputable, but you just have to take the Ebay guide’s word on that.
