Results of low and high resolution gamma spectra of surface soil sample from Aizu Wakazumi, 100km from Fukushima Daiichi, Japan suggest presence of Uranium contamination from the reactors.
Green Audit Busby Laboratory, Aberystwyth UK, Chris Busby PhD
A surface soil sample was personally taken from the edge of the hard standing in the car park by a church in Aizu Wakazumi in July 2011.
Aizu Wakazumi is approximately 100km west of the Fukushima Daiichi plant.
The background exposure rate measured 10cm from the surface was between 0.5 and 0.7 uSv/h using a Russian SOSNA twin chamber Geiger Counter. The thickness of the surface was about 1cmand the material has collected at the edge of the car park.
About 200g of this material was collected and brought back for analysis. [...]
The results showed the presence of a number of nuclides as listed below. [...]

Hey Spock – do you want to at least take the time to mention what your link is all about?
The threat of nuc power hanging on over the head of the collective existence of humankind can be shut down overnight, leading to a new Renaissance for humanity.
Google.org for example has just found that the geothermal energy in the U.S.A has 10x greater potential electrical output than all of coal in the US.
Read about it in Bekrl’s latest commentary

We have to push for this! If humans are creative enough to develop satan’s power source, we sure as hell can develop geothermal in a hurry… ditto for Japan (which has some of the richest source of geothermal in the world)
We are running out of time before the next nuc disaster, and more cataclysms a comin’ and nuc meltdowns will leave you runnin’

***The prestige of working for Tepco is gone, and so are many of the perks. The company once operated resorts and sponsored clubs for employees; Muto was a running back on the football team. But since the disaster struck, Tepco has booked almost ¥2 trillion in losses.***

In quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states a fundamental limit on the accuracy with which certain pairs of physical properties of a particle, such as position and momentum, cannot be simultaneously known. In other words, the more precisely one property is measured, the less precisely the other can be controlled, determined, or known.

The negatively-charged electrons and positively charged ions created by ionizing radiation may cause damage in living tissue. I’m not sure how these nuclides react to opposite charged natural phenomena. Wonder what happens to a nuclear plume if caught in a lighting storm? Anybody heard of any studies on that?

Will the US continue to turn a blind eye to Japanese imports as they become more and more radioactive? Will you feel safe using Japanese products in your homes? This affects me and our business directly as we own a Toyota dealership. I have no idea what the next 12 months will bring but I fear the worst.
