Nov. 3 — The mystery of where the radioactive material discovered by a supermarket in Tokyo’s Setagaya Ward came from “may have been cracked” with the Nov. 2 discovery of a buried 500-milliliter bottle containing a mass of dark red-brown material “believed to be radium-226″, reports Mainichi.
Though many other measurements are given provided, there is no mention of the radiation level being emitted from the bottle.
However, Mainichi notes radiation levels around the supermarket remain high:
- “Even after the bottle and surrounding soil were removed, however, a sweep of the supermarket property found 12 places both in- and outside the building emitting relatively high radiation of between 0.2 and 12 microsieverts per hour.”
- “Furthermore, there were three spots on the roads bordering the property which registered radiation doses of 0.3 to 2 microsieverts per hour. Airborne radiation around the supermarket hovered around 0.1 microsieverts per hour.”
According to Mainichi, the science ministry and other authorities say they “will continue their examination of the area.”

I’ve been watching the Fukushima Tweet page for months and months, right? What’s troubling to me LATELY is the STICKY on top of the page now. Yesterday it was to the breaking news of #2. Guess what’s on top today? Top news-IAEA Fukushima Daiichi Status Report
Who’s in charge of Twitter, that they’d put a NRC PIECE on TOP? Has Twitter been bought out by the NRC?

Saw a recent article where Bike sales are going through the roof. Not SAFE these days (radiation) but people are taking to the 2 wheeler more!

Feels like more effort to suggest that it is all in our head. Fear being more prevalent than radiation?
Funny how the radiation appears to dissipate. Time lapse of a few hundred thousand years? I agree, fear is evident everywhere, so is the knowledge that the people entrusted to make such far-reaching decisions about our existance are either inept or amoral.

That is a brilliant though deeply chilling graphic, like watching bugs on a petri dish. I think the radiation may ‘disappear’ as it is bio-incorporated, and when it falls into the water. I had an idea of the absolute hammering that the West Coast of America took (is taking), yet this graphic spells it out. Does it stop because they stopped the data releases from the reporting stations?

the answer is simple:
There are roving oards of Japanese people with bottles of radium in search of a supermarkets near which to bury them
It has absolutely nothing to do with that ongoing nuclear catastrophe down the road

Hello, reading all the posts for some months now; Quite interesting.
) to speak about fukushima.
I will have a telephone appointment on next monday with CRIIRAD (french private nuclear survey, i am french
Also one tel appointment foreseen with Kiodo Hiroaki on the University of Kyoto.
I go in Kyoto for some months on January. So i take this with a very deep concern.
you might consider this as well, just have a look:

Sun, I remember posting those articles at HP. I and many others believe it’s true. VToday is an excellent resource for info. A few months ago, your Video of the missile hitting the Pentagon went viral with us. You guys do excellent work. Looking forward to your new report on the CRIIRAD interview. Should be veeerry interesting.

Hello Whoopie,
i am not affiliate with any website, nor VToday. Just a websurfer, posting some links that could shed a different light on the event.
Again, because i will go live in Kyoto in January, i try to gather as much coherent infos as possible.
I actually start feeling something like that was happening when each time Japaneses managed to stabilize Fukushima situation a bit, everything went nuts again;
Even Kiodo Hiroaki, who i think knows the subject quite well, start to be dazzled by what is happening down there.. A explosion hole in reactor 2 now ?? We go again in re-criticality…???
Japanese scientist that find neutrons quantity higher than expected, and cannot be correlate with the rest of the measurement.
The only explanation for them is that is the signature of the explosion of a bomb !
And what about this weird bottle full of radium found 40cm in the ground, i several spots of Tokyo ???? Who the hell put it there and what for?
Looks like terrorism to me.
I have friends and family down there, in Tokyo and Kyoto, measuring each days ground and air radioactivity in their daily life… Nothing suspicious !!!
This absolute contradiction between news reported and what individuals reported is just tearing my head apart
.
Let you know about the interviews
Thanks

On that TARS thread comes this that I didn’t KNOW
“A partial retaining bluff collapse Monday at the We Energies Oak Creek Power Plant in Wisconsin sent toxic coal ash spewing into Lake Michigan. This collapse comes just weeks after the U.S. House voted to prevent the EPA from protecting Americans from coal ash”
Goodness, if it ain’t Fukushima killing us, it’ll be this kind of shit.

Thanks Sun. I’m curious, where are the readings for Kyoto, where your going? Not knowing Japan real well (i should by now
what Prefecture is that?
http://www.crms-jpn.com/mrdatafoodloc/
Report Comment
The readings are just for Fukushima and the region.
, with a ground reading at 0.4µs/h in Shiga on some spots.
I didn’t find any ground readings for the Kansaï region (Osaka/Kyoto/Kobe, etc…)
the only one i found was from enenews i guess (too lazzy to check the former posts while typing
Air reading is absolutely normal in Kyoto.
My family in law in Kyoto start to make measurements as well with a Radex RD1503 i bought for them. Will wait for some extensive readings. But by now, nothing significant.

and this one made by individual citizens as well:
http://maps.safecast.org/
the problem with ground readings is that the contamination pattern with radiation is “grapped”. you can have 1m² with high radiation readings and the other 1m² just aside with a normal reading… You have to do that on a extended amount of time.

Sort of like that old movie, “The Great Escape” where they are dropping soil from their tunnels through their pantlegs onto the ground. There must be “Apprentice Trolls” dropping little bottles when nobody is looking. Horrifyingly cute, man is. I have heard a saying “would rather die than change”. This seems to apply at all levels of our society.
