Shouldn't the CDC release the Prussian Blue from storage so the U.S. citizens can pass the cesium from their systems?

It's a little late for that. Our lungs are full of uranium and plutonium, and considering how much radiation is in our food and water, our government would rather wage war.

It's not too mysterious. You have pollen and mold that will accumulate on rooftops over time. Then the fallout causes it to appear radioactive. Try a solution of 5 percent bleach and it will come right off.

Sure, a little bleach will fix everything and don't forget to SMILE because only sad people will die from radiation, right.

Zipidy do da, zipidy ay. It's the truth, it's factual. Everything is satisfactual.

Potassium cyanide also does wonders..

Works well as a mouthwash.

The last time this sort of story appeared, someone said no big deal there is lots of yellow pollen dust floating around. If thats the case, and I don't know having never been to Japan, the measured radiation is still only explained by the Nuclear Power Plant accident. If you follow the link, you will see a picture of the sample being tested with a SOEKS detector similar to mine. Put in perpective, the 20 µSv/hr they measured of the sample is roughly 181 times what I measure in background radiation here in Vancouver. Wonder how many children and people in general have inhaled particles of this radio active "pollen"? Is this another example of how safe Nuclear power is?

All that REALLY matters, is what Keith Richards is going to do with it.
Otherwise it's all over now.

brilliant TIS…

I remember arclight (?) suggesting the yellow stuff to be lichen, which seems plausible to me. I guess it soaks up radiation like many other plants…
Report Comment
that is what i thought.
roof lichen, yellow very common, great at soaking up isotopes..
the cesium gets into the tiles and the lichen lives off the minerals in the tiles.. there are different coloured lichen too!
peace

Good find, thank you.

177,000 Bq/kg of Cesium near Tokyo. From nuclear plants we don't want or need.

It now looks like GE also going cold on nuke.. Will we see GE switching to solar? as a means of making loads of profit?
Report Comment
Only on what they make on bailouts and tax refunds. Have to keep those bonuses going so they can reinvest – I mean contribute to political campaigns.

Seems there is not enought radioactivity so NASA i thinking in http://nextbigfuture.com/2012/08/nasa-proposal-to-revive-nuclear-thermal.html

looks like they have somewhere to store radioactive wastes. and there could be more
3 Fukushima towns selected for 12 storage sites of radioactive debris, for now
"..Environment minister Goshi Hosono, who is also the minister in charge of the nuclear crisis, said 12 sites will be built in Futaba (two), Okuma (nine) and Naraha (one), Fuji TV reported. Speaking at a meeting of municipal officials, Hosono said the government plans to conduct geological surveys to establish the suitability of the 12 sites for the storage of radioactive materials…."

What, they can't burn it fast enough, or the ocean isn't close enough?
Or maybe they're going to construct 'ovens' for 'radioactive waste'.
Hmm.

Between the fracking, Fukushima, fires, and the sinkhole we will be very lucky if the future gets here.
