Hmmmmm, reminds me of the "red weed" from "war of the worlds". Some mutating vegetation as a result of alien interference that ultimately led to their riddance!! Maybe all the corruption will die now as a result and we can start a "brave new world"????
References to red solid mercury began to appear in major Russian and western media sources in the late 1980s. The articles were never specific as to what exactly red mercury was, but nevertheless claimed it was of great importance in nuclear bombs, or that it was used in the building of boosted fission weapons.
Is this some sort of spoof story?
A steel post seems to have been cut down next to each patch of the "mystery red substance". These steel poles look like they have been cut down with a grinder. Amazingly these steel grindings have reacted with all the plutonium in the area to create deadly red mercury, or might just RUST.
Hi Blue Light,
my sentiments exactly. Looks like rust. Radioactive rust obviously, but rust.
I'd love to see a reading of the uncovered street surface nearby.
oh yeah If you scraped it all up, dried it out, put in a bag and taped it to your head you might just get a dental x-ray in five years, maybe.
You can get 20000cpm alpha out of a modern smoke detector americium-241 source.
I'm really sorry Wind or Solar Please, I put the comment about Red mercury without reading any of the thread, I just read the story. It was pure coincidence that other people had brought up the idea of red mercury. Now that I've read the thread it sounds like I was been really mean to you, I'm Really Really sorry.
Radio Mercury does have a use in weapons but its not in the public domain yet so thats where the story has to end I'm afraid.
The black "dust" could be picked up with a magnet. Wonder if the red "dust" is similar. But either way, black/red, this stuff is radioactive and can be airborne. Steel and metals made from the debris of Japan's tsumani/nuclear disaster — also is a fallout carrier. It is what it is, radioactive.
Blue Light, nice comments to WSP, makes all the difference to this blog to have polite discussions.
I'd bet it has something to do with the Nuclear material that ex-vesseled and is coming back up in spots as the blobs of death float around under the ground
Or most likely from the material the've been burning…it has to come down somewhere.
How they though burning nuclear material was a good thing is beyond me!!!
shiverca: So right. When you burn radioactive materials, you get radioactive smoke and radioactive ash. Burning does not destroy the radioactivity. It merely disperses it all over the country. Japan is toast, anyway. Go ahead and fill Tokyo Harbor with ash. Won't much matter in the end.
I didn't mean to sound callous. But the Japanese are exhibiting extremely shortsighted thinking about their situation, even as their nation experiences a slow death. Poor problem solving skills.
Here are the choices for alpha emitters. The color may just be a distractor, carry-along substance such as rust.
There are many alpha emitting radioactive elements, both natural and manmade. You can find fact sheets for several key alpha emitters at the Radionuclides page:
Alpha Emitter Atomic Number
americium-241 95
plutonium-236 94
uranium-238 92
thorium-232 90
radium-226 88
radon-222 86
polonium-210 84 http://www.epa.gov/rpdweb00/understand/alpha.html#emitters

Interesting vid …wonder what the red stiff is ..hopefully some can get analyzed at a lab.

So perhaps Fukushima was making nuclear weapons.

Hi The Blue Light.
I have no idea what it is. That is why I put a question marks.
This is all I found about reddish radioactive substance.
CLICK> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_mercury
This article says it is radioactive. That is why I said, "Whatever it is..I bet it's not a good thing to have blowing in the wind."

And Red Mercury is nothing to do with neutron bombs, Fission or Fusion weapons, Boosted Fission weapons or mini Nukes.

Thank You The Blue Light. for the information. The wikipeda was a little confusing.

With all the thousands of tons of radioactive crap being incinerated, they may be creating compounds that have never existed before.

Well, perhaps it is clay in the Earth being boiled up out of the ground by the corium.
