By the fourth floor, near the top of the building, where an explosion during the nuclear accident a year earlier had blown off the ceiling and bits of walls, readings were down to 300 microsieverts per hour.

The stories coming out of WSJ..are so clean ..so formulated.
I get the sense that it is being done by an industry writer..

Phred Dvorak.
Reporting with bias toward the industry..should be considered.
A "facilitator"….

One has to consider WSJ has a pro-industry bias at its core. They occasionally publish news that is not favorable toward industry, but it is the exception, not the rule. And it's only done when public opinion is predominately against a certain sector of industry, or they know it's inevitable that industry, etc., will ultimately be viewed in a negative light.

This is a clear example..of a large MSM news outlet..passing themselves off as credible journalists.. when they are actually propaganda machines.

Either a leak or the radiation system is starting to go critical

I've read that volatile fission products can be released from damaged fuel rods and I wonder if placing the white tarp I"m not sure exactly what it is made of, and current activity caused yet another reaction.

"Radiation spiked on the second floor at 500 microsieverts per hour — somewhat less than you’d get from a stomach X-ray, and roughly 220 times higher than the level Japan sets for evacuating communities."

Thanks Pu239, I've had so many scans, I glow. Now I know why my heart likes to skip beats or beat sideways.
I know this information has been out for years but this doctor had a single angiogram and believed he would die from that exposure. I'm a goner for sure but the doctors all say it's medically necessary. Rare tumors indeed.

Make sure that you are getting enough potassium in your diet. Things like: apricots, prunes, and 100% juices all have a lot of potassium in them. As long as your kidneys and heart are working well and you are drinking enough fluids, your body can handle it. Just an FYI.

Thank you SteveMT for this, I try my best but the first thing the doctors tell me is more fluids. My eyeballs are floating doc…wow, a female deer just walked by my front door with the screen open, stood there and looked at me for a while. She looked awsome. Sorry, so off topic.

But, not apricots from Turkey- all radioactive, as Helen Caldicott explained in one of her videos.
(In the same video she said: "Don't eat anything from Europe.").

Excellent article on CT scans. Contains a comparison chart about half way down. Simple to understand.
Bookmarked – Thanks Pu239

Added to this fact, "Trillions of becquerels per day still being emitted from Fukushima Daiichi — Radioactive steam continues" An enenews headline that I can't get out of my head.
Let us be kind, one to another, for we are each of us together in our pain!

TEPCO to remove unused fuel from No. 4 reactor
The operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has decided to remove 2 unused fuel rods from a storage pool at the No. 4 reactor to look for damage.
This is in preparation for the removal of a large number of the 1,535 used and unused fuel rods stored in the pool, which could pose a threat in the event of another earthquake.
Tokyo Electric Power Company intends to remove the 2 fuel rods from the pool in July. Removal of unused fuel is not as dangerous as taking out used fuel.
If successful, TEPCO plans to start to remove the remainder of the fuel next year.
The No. 4 reactor did not experience a meltdown when the massive quake and tsunami hit last year because it was off line. But areas near the pool were heavily damaged when hydrogen from No. 3 reactor entered No. 4 reactor and exploded.
Additional reinforcement work is being carried out inside the reactor because of continuing concerns about the strength of the pool.

Now that is one stupid WSJ article. They are following the TEPCO story line perfectly and asking no questions. That is not journalism. And yes the WSJ is just an instrument of propaganda since it was bought by Murdock and company.
Yes the dose rates are not so bad, they walked up the stairwell which is the coolest area of the plant. Yes the pool looks fine, lets do all our inspections visually with untrained eyes. Oh wait they were just looking at the ceiling under the pool, not the pool itself at all. And they made the reporters make only a "pool" story, so it was completely controlled. What a joke this whole story is.

c.t. scan, five or ten seconds high k.v. (low absorption rate) dose. internalized muscle lodged cesium 137 dose, 30 to 300 years. internalized uranium, plutonium, strontium,,,c.t. scan localized to area of interest,,internalized radionuclides,,localized to every corner of the body. c.t. scan, on off switch.,,,melted reactor fuel,,dont even know where it is.
