High cesium levels detected in rats near Fukushima
NHK
May 14, 2012
- High levels of radioactive cesium have been detected in rats
- Researchers from the Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute
- [Rats] collected from remote areas of Fukushima and Ibaraki prefectures
- In October and December
- 3,100 becquerels of cesium per kilogram was detected in rats captured near Kawauchi village, which is 30 kilometers from the plant
- 790 becquerels per kilo was found in rats from around Kita-Ibaraki city, 70 kilometers away
- A senior researcher at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences, Yoshihisa Kubota, says rats are as sensitive to radiation as humans

What a surprise…
Radiation don't stop spreading.
Welcome to the future.

What's the point in publishing data in May from samples taken in October and December???
Aaargh.

I don't think we'll ever get close to real time analysis of samples. It's possible to do, but releasing the data 'after' the fact, the longer the better in their opinion, has less of an impact on the brain.
Your brain says, "Oh, that's already happened."
As opposed to, "Uh oh, it's happening right NOW!"
The problem is… it IS happening right NOW and will continue to spread and accumulate. "Uh oh!"
This is one giant psychology experiment and we're the rats in the maze. (somebody had to say it)

"This is one giant "physiology" experiment"
as well as what you said ChasAha

I think your comment is profound … in many ways. We are being experimented with …. in multiple ways.

It will only continue to spread outward toward Tokyo and beyond with every passing day by so many vectors: air/wind, rain, ground water, food sold at market, the feet of visitors and tires of cars that visit these contaminated areas, birds and other animals, the ocean…
Those who do not see this nightmare for what it is are truly lost.

Questions:
1. What is the primary source of the rats exposure. Food, water, air, soil, some of each?
2. How 'exactly' will the rats 'spread' the radioactive contamination? Where they defaecate? Where they walk? Where they die and their bones decompose?
3. What animals eat rats? What other animals are indeed going to suffer?
I know the answers to these questions are somewhat self evident.
The point is… the insidiousness of this 'stuff' is never ending. At least until such 'time' as the decay rate subsides to below hazardous to life levels. In the case of cesium that's about 300 years.

Yes lost in the abyss of unimaginable mutation , but as Arny stated we have already tested 800 bombs on ourselves . Have we found the answers yet? What were the geniuses testing exactly? How to destroy ourselves or the Galaxy we are in , all for the name science and progress.Our fascination with energy is perpetual , our destructive ways historical , and our moment for evolution is NOW .Or we split more atoms till we find our own "Bang Theory",just another glowing,flickering star in a universe of possibilities.

"…or the Galaxy…", omtatsat, I don't know about the galaxy, but it is within the realm of imaginability of our sun being affected by man, if scalar electromagnetic weapons are real.
Some people say the sun is electric. Something does appear to be wrong with current understanding, because of the comet which recently passed only 86,000 miles of the photosphere and yet was not destroyed by the sun's heat, not even all of it's ice tail was melted.

The sun affected by man – now sorry, that's drawing the ultimate in a long bow. You best go and look at some text books on the solar system, get an idea of the scale of things.

Send American Rats from West Coast to Japan for
testing. They know how to do it and have done it.
Where is the address for this Forestry Research Institute.
Somewhat in jest.. Maybe the US prepaid mailers
could be used for freeze dried rat.
We really need more data on just how bad it is here
on West Coast of America.
