Sankei Shinbun, Oct. 17 — EX-SKF has translated a report in the Sankei Shinbun about the discovery of a car in Kawasaki City with over 20 microsieverts per hour:
“20.38 microsieverts/hr radiation [... from car] auctioned off in Chiba, and brought to the exporter in Kawasaki City for export. The license plate number was previously that of Iwaki City in Fukushima Prefecture.”
EX-SKF comments “Let’s see. 20 microsieverts/hour, and if you are on the road 2 hours a day for one year you would get 14.6 millisieverts external radiation from the car alone. Since it is less than 20 millisieverts, that’s nothing in the current Japan.”

Here’s what I fear is going to start happening: the dozens and dozens of cars that were abandoned/destroyed by the tsunami are going to start getting dismantled and sold as scrap metal. This is going to mix more radioactive material in with the world’s scrap metal supply. Even before Fukushima, there were some isolated cases where radioactive materials accidentally got mixed in with scrap metal piles–in some of those cases, it was detected before being used in any consumer products, but in some cases it did end up in products sold to the public (there was a mysterious case of an old cheese grater in the US and a more recent instance where watches sold at a French chain store were contaminated).
Anyway, I bet we are going to see a lot more contaminated scrap metal turning up as a result of Japan’s mess. Incidentally, the U.S currently has no regulatory limit for how much of the stuff can be in metal products sold in the U.S. This issue seems like a double-edged sword. On the one hand, countries might take advantage of the fact that we have no such limit to send “hot” stuff here. On the other hand, if we did have such a limit, it’s almost certain that some manufacturers would interpret it to mean that it’s okay to include radioactive metal in products shipped here as long as it doesn’t exceed the official limit (just like we are already seeing with food in Japan). And I bet if the US does decide to set a limit, there will be tremendous pressure from some interested parties to set that limit higher, rather than lower.

“Once a malicious “baseless rumour” on the net, now it is written up in a regional newspaper with readership in Tokyo and Kanto area. Tokyo Shinbun has reported that many children in Koriyama City in Fukushima Prefecture, 50 kilometers from Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, are suffering inexplicable nosebleed, diarrhea, and lack of energy since the nuke plant accident.

Whoopie,
Lets just say that they do evacuate. What country is going to want to take on the task of caring for radioactive refugees? What country is going to want to deal with an inundation of radioactive sewage in their waste treatment plants. What country is going to take on the health care cost for caring for these people in 20 years when they all start developing cancers, heart disease, general poor health due to immune system deficiencies? What about their possessions? It’s a mess. I fear that this is going to be the next big study for human exposure to radioactive fall out.

A big burden on the health services in many countries: notably Japan of course, the US and Canadian west coasts, the Pacific coast of Kora and China, the Phillipines.
Cancer care is not cheap. Care of disabled (e.g people born with deformities) is lifelong – 10 to 20 years average. Then there are the damaged immune system syndromes which will require constant attention and will affect the “able bodied” “working” population – including doctors, nurses, and emergency service workers.
I can see some of the cancer and disabled groups not receiving any care at all if there is no economic activity and surplus available to pay for it.
And we look back at the Middle Ages and the Black Death and think we have got somewhere since those primitive times.

Cars made in Japan will be suspect and checked again and again if they are exported. But the real sleepers are the food products that can be mislabelec so easily. Chiba and Sendai rice becomes Thailand rice with a simple change of labeling. If the toxic beef or rice or peaches or seafood is mislabeled and then shipped to Shanghai, it then becomes an easy step to export multiple times. A tempting price and a lax US policy (thanks Hillary) could lead to the biggest wholesalers obtaining adulterated “Thai” food and shipping to a big wholesaler on the West coast and from there all across the US.

We know China has been guilty of massive food scandals killing babies, dogs, and even deadly toothpaste (100 Panamanians died in 2007). Yet the US continues to buy all the bargain Chinese goods. It doesn’t even take the yakuza to get radioactive products redirected to China… We know the Japanese officials are masters of the art of lies and misdirection.
Rest assured that the North Americans will blindly along with others help eat up the crops and meats unsaleable in Japan. But when the scandal gets exposed (and it will) the protests will be a lot louder than the hohum reaction of many Tokyo residents to the dangers they will face forever in their lives.

Reuters – 11 minutes ago
FUKUSHIMA, Japan (Reuters) – At last, victims of Japan’s nuclear crisis can claim compensation. And they are angry.
They are furious at the red tape they have to wade through just to receive basic help and in despair they still cannot get on with their lives seven months after the huge quake and tsunami triggered the world’s worst nuclear disaster in 25 years.
Shouts fill a room at a temporary housing complex where seven officials, kneeling in their dark suits, face 70 or so tenants who were forced to abandon their homes near the Fukushima nuclear plant after some of its reactors went into meltdown after the March 11 quake struck.
“We don’t know who we can trust!” one man yelled in the cramped room where the officials were trying to explain the hugely complex procedures to claim compensation.
“Can we actually go back home? And if not, can you guarantee our livelihoods?”
About 80,000 people were forced to leave their homes by the nuclear crisis.

20 micro sieverts per hour. We get cars from Japan. It sucks that the drivers side is the right instead of the left but these cars have much less wear and tear on them then a car used in Canada for the same length of time. Built in Japan too unlike the average Honda on the road here in BC, built in Ontario Canada, better quality those Japanese cars. A real business has been built up based on importing used cars from Japan, here on the west coast of Canuckland. But no one in Canada is checking for radiation. Import food cars whatever.

a black and white film set in post war japan….interesting staement on beaurocrasy in japan….anything changed??
Ikiru (生きる, “To Live”?) is a 1952 Japanese film co-written and directed by Akira Kurosawa. The film examines the struggles of a minor Tokyo bureaucrat and his final quest for meaning. The film stars Takashi Shimura as Kanji Watanabe.
“Inspired by her example, Watanabe dedicates his remaining time to accomplishing one worthwhile achievement before his life ends; through his persistent efforts, he is able to overcome the inertia of bureaucracy and turn a mosquito-infested cesspool into a children’s playground.
The last third of the film takes place during Watanabe’s wake, as his former co-workers try to figure out what caused such a dramatic change in his behavior. His transformation from listless bureaucrat to passionate advocate puzzles them. As the co-workers drink, they slowly realize that Watanabe must have known he was dying. They drunkenly vow to live their lives with the same dedication and passion as he did. But back at work, they lack the courage of their newfound conviction.

Please help me to get this right. Does the famous half-life of Iodine-131 of 8 days mean that
a) at the 9th day it’s only half the “amount” of I-131, but it is still I-131
OR
b) does I-131 decay into another substance at day 9 with no traces of I-131 left?

Thank you for the link Whoopie))))

Yes I have been watching TEPCO’s analysis of I-131 which they post levels as ND. I had a feeling this was happening and so did my spouse a Chief Chemist and I’m sure many of you suspected re-criticality was occurring. Thus we are back in March in respect to decay heat, etc. I don’t think we will see the corium in our lifetime. Thanks again Whoopie.

dont trust the rice now.this from NHK….
.Rice shipped from city in Fukushima
Farmers in Nihonmatsu City in Fukushima Prefecture have started shipping rice from this year’s harvest after radioactive contamination levels dropped below the government-set limit.
Two trucks carrying 24 tons of rice left a local agricultural cooperative in Nihonmatsu on Tuesday. The city is about 35 to 70 kilometers from the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
In September, a preliminary check of a sample of pre-harvest rice in the city found 500 becquerels of radioactive cesium per kilogram — the same as the government limit.
Rice shipping was allowed after all samples harvested at 288 locations were found to have radioactivity levels below the limit. The highest level among the samples was 470 becquerels of radioactive cesium per kilogram.

It has been longer than 7 months.
Nothing has been improved and nothing has been decontaminated.
Yet Fukushima local government has decided to sell all the rice harvested this year.
Though nothing has been, and will never be decontaminated, Fukushima local government is trying to sell thier “decontamination skill” to the rest of the world.

Doc Fox! Food Crisis!
I hope ll you preppers have really got it together.
I gently teased a guy I know that he has put so much
effort into his semi-remote homestead, the Feds are just
waiting for the right moment to come and take it for their
Fat-ass, spoiled-rotten, Mercenary, Cop-Mafia selves!
But I guess I must admit to jealousy for that workin’-tough
character who has Busied himself trying to really Make
a Place. They Have a Cool Garden. Vertical frames over 8 feet high,
with squashes and sweet mini-melons hanging with tomatoes.
That was Last Year! I haven’t seen their Harvest This Year.
Anyway. I wanted to point up,
maybe a possible new Forum category.
Food Prices/Crises…
Ahem….
Albertson’s had a variety of Beans in one-pound bags, this past
end-of-summer, for 77 cents a pound.
This didn’t include Black Beans, nor a couple others, but
did include, Navy Beans, Pintos, Garbanzos, Baby Limas,
lentils, split peas, pearled barley, red kidney beans, a couple others.
Then the Sale price ended, and they went to 1.99 a pound.
Now, even the bulk-bin pintos you see (This IS New Mexico) are
at a ridiculous price. For awhile, one Shurfine-type store had
two-pound bag of Pintos for 1.50, and I missed the deal.
I’ve looked, not very deeply, but eBay, and Search for bulk-bag
prices.
It is Scary.
All you Preppers better HIDE, Seriously, your foods, in multiple
locations. Zombie Movies rule the USA Propaganda, by sinister Design.

Tokyo Electric Power Company has calculated the risks to the water-injection system which could lead to the cooling water supply being stopped, resulting in another meltdown.

Funny how that indicates they know there is lots of hot fuel still down in the building areas:
“Tokyo Electric Power Company has calculated the risks to the water-injection system which could lead to the cooling water supply being stopped, resulting in another meltdown.”
SP: Their jerry-rigged water injection system is as they have said…about 36 hours from more meltdowns if the feed and bleed water injection is disrupted. The sword of Damocles…every day for the next 10,000 years.
But it will probably blow in the next six months and then Tepco can flee the complex like they originally desired. If they had done that in the beginning then the international nuclear powers would have already interceded in some form of massive intervention just to protect their own little La La Land ideology of the “safe” nuclear industry. And electricty too cheap to meter! Hah!

This is based on the new Exposure rates japan is using
8 hrs per day at 100% an 16 hrs per day at 40%
so this end up being a factor of 14.4 for 1 day
