    Look at all these seismographs!

    From Sumatra quake?

    The Earth is BUZZING!

    considering it says copyright of the meeorological society

    have you tried mathching it up with google earth…?

    not a great fit! though it seems to show just north of iwaki

    odd picture though?

    OUTNOW
    “If you can’t lower the waters, raise the bridge.” The government of Japan just raised the permissibl­e levels.

    Independen­t scientists criticize but the mainstream media controls the dialogue. TEPCO and the Japanese government want to minimize the effects to prevent TEPCO from going under financiall­y.

    Car filters continue to come back with cesium 134 and Cesium 137 in equal ratios. Professor Kalcofen says that this means it came from Fukushima.

      ONE MORE THEN I’M OFF TO BED
      Jazco as head of NRC advocated a fifty-mile radius evacuation­. They should have listened.

      A 7.5 earthquake would topple the SFP on the top of unit #4.

      #1 is the worst because it had an immediate cooling failure thanks to outmoded systems.

      There is no experience with a SFP collapsing­. The fuel would be uncovered. The Brookhaven National Lab study says that the plume would definitely kill. This is still a low probabilit­y but high magnitude potential event.

    Earthquake the same as this one.or is this another one?
    F-E Region: Near East Coast of Honshu, Japan
    Time: 2012-01-11 01:16:33.8 UTC
    Magnitude: 4.8
    Epicenter: 142.38°E 39.94°N

      Great youtube video/film. 10 stars. Thanks.

      (“Revolution” means going around in circles in some ways.) I agree…However before supporting any of these, the most objective energy requirement needs to be found.

      The energy requirement to keep a house warm for instance. If the walls are thick and require vast BTU’s then the the energy requirement is vast. However, if the walls are paper thin stainless steel bonded to high density styrene walls, then the stainless steel requires blindingly less energy to heat or cool the room…..as an example.

      That is why the inside of a fridge is not lined with bricks but is lined with thin vacuum formed plastic over the insulating material.

    I have not really been one to say it up until now but one is left to wonder if perhaps a large array of microwave antennae somewhere in Alaska (or elsewhere) may be responsible for these seemingly targeted earthquakes. It is as if some group wants reactor #4 to completely collapse and have its spent fuel pool contents burn up.

      @ kintaman. Christchurch New Zealand is also being targeted, i believe pre-emptively.
      “A magnitude 3.9 earthquake has struck near Christchurch, New Zealand at a depth of 10 km (6.2 miles), the quake hit at 16:07:42 UTC Tuesday 10th January”

    Didn’t we just have a brush with a solar flare?

    How can anyone say this is not the China Syndrome, assuming the China Syndrome is when radioactive material from a melt-down hits the water table?

    HAZMAT in Japan on Wednesday, 11 January, 2012 at 04:46 (04:46 AM) UTC.

    Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Tuesday it found that about 10 liters of water had leaked from a water processing facility inside the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, but the liquid containing radioactive strontium did not flow into the Pacific Ocean. The government’s nuclear safety agency ordered the company the same day to take measures to prevent a recurrence and consider moving up the schedule for installing a facility for removing radioactive substances such as strontium which are difficult to remove using the existing facility. TEPCO said earlier it plans to install the so-called multi-nuclide removal facility within this calendar year. At around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, some liquid was found dripping from a tank storing salt water, which is created in the process of decontaminating highly polluted water accumulating at the plant, according to TEPCO and agency officials. The water leaked after undergoing a process for removing radioactive cesium. The leakage stopped after workers tightened a bolt around the area where the leak occurred, they said. The facility is essential in the process of injecting water into the crippled Nos. 1 to 3 reactors, as they have lost their key cooling functions in the wake of the devastating March 11 earthquake and tsunami. The water, once used to cool the reactors, contains massive amounts of radioactive substances and it is put into the water treatment facility so it can be recycled for use as a coolant.
