Oct. 26 — A radiation dose of 2.5 microsieverts per hour was detected on concrete paneling for sale at a home store in Tochigi Prefecture last month, reports Fukushima Diary.
Radioactive sewage sludge and disposal waste ash are being used in concrete material.
“Our houses will be radioactive, sooner than we have ever thought,” Yokohama-area resident Mochizuki writes, “This kind of material is highly likely to have been distributed to all around in Japan.”

I remember an article here months ago were the sediment from the waste plants that were made into bricks was highly radioactive that were normally use in buildings !

Concrete is a composite construction material, composed of cement (commonly Portland cement) and other cementitious materials such as fly ash and slag cement, aggregate (generally a coarse aggregate made of gravel or crushed rocks such as limestone, or granite, plus a fine aggregate such as sand), water and chemical admixtures.

So the bass of Japan is irradiated as the numbers have been showing to us, reports also here say the iron /steel is irradiated for building bridges, so other material’s must be as well !
Anything there is subject to be irradiated as the foods are also !

Hey Kevin, doing that may make things harder for everyone sooner than later. I know, I’ve thought a lot about it. It’ll be a mess. Like I said, all the pawns are in place for global chaos if the SHTF. Throwing in the red flag will be a disaster I think. National Security really is at steak, soooooooo what do we do. Saying “F” it is not the answer. All things need to be taken into consideration. The information is available to everyone if they really want to know. Maybe slow damage control works best for now. Let the authorities have their way for now. What do you think about that? I can’t believe myself for saying this, but for sure, it’s coming sooner or later. What do you prefer?

Hello CB,
So nice to see so many new folks all positively contributing and seeking after truth.
So yes, we had our shakeup tonight as the rain just slammed in hard and fast and wild. It was so peaceful and nice this evening. Some blue skies at sundown, and then wham!
Well, there went the power for about an hour. Almost forgot what it was like to get taken by surprise in some sort of calamity.
Fortunately, I was prepared. Months ago I refilled and checked all the kerosene lanterns(6), and the duel fuel Coleman Lantern. There was no problem for lights.
The entire area was out. No water running, and no heat. How many of you people can deal with this when it happens to you? Without a back up plan, it will be pretty darn scary.
Again prepared, I had just brought in a bunch of firewood after cutting up rounds earlier in the day and lit the wood stove which was mighty toasty.
Turned on the scanner and heard about an fuel dump on fire and some fires in the fields. Lightning strikes. We just kicked it and listened to the news from dispatch. Could have got out the SW, but did not need to.
Had a Coleman stove for dinner and coffee ready w/ plenty of fuel. Lots to eat and many gallons of filtered water in 5 gallon jugs. And if this had gone on, we would have got out the Honda generator and powered things like the refrigerator and water pump for the well.
Yeah, what to do indeed.
After the lights went back on, we did radiation checks. It was up and the info will be posted on the Radiation Reporting Forum.
Thanks for your thoughts CB. You are right, everything is contaminated and there is not much you can do about the environment. You can however, protect yourself.
May I invite everyone to hear what this bro is saying, and take a note or two from what we did when it rained like Hector Heathcoat tonight and the lights suddenly went out for the whole region.
It is still raining and soon possibly snowing. Time to put another log on the fire…

It is clear that we are bound to experience a significant shake up. Your thoughts are valid ones because there is not many examples where post revolutionary environments are better and the transition is almost always violent and turbulent.
That said there also opportunities for advancement if done strategically.
I pointed to the website idea because it is a direct action that anyone can do that is less risky and non violent.
There is going to be change thrust upon us, its up to us to decide how best to engage in the broader social realm while doing what is right for our families and individual circumstances.
Its going to be a challenging time all the way around, but the Fukushima issues well embody the entire underpinnings of the occupy and movement and the parallels are difficult to deny therefor the tactics will be similar.

Holy Macaroni Majia,
That is incredible. And we thought our readings were high. This is like a measurement we took a while back. And the measurements in Japan are growing also.
Today it rained so hard the power went out. After it was over for a bit, we took some measurements. See the videos on the Radiation Reporting Forum.
It appears that this stuff is coming in waves and sometimes you get it, and sometimes you don’t, but it is getting worse.
One wonders what the west coast ocean water and sea foods and beach sands are reading? Has anyone done any measurements on those things yet at all out there? Hard to believe that NO ONE has done this yet.
Seems like I may be driving out there to do it myself soon. And then it is off to the Redwoods and Shasta!
Thanks for your great work.

James, could you do an educated guess on how much radioactive build up you home/garden will have in 10 years at the current rate of increase you have measured? I’m trying to build a case for justifying moving to the S. Hemisphere. Your data analysis would be most appreciated. [Be wise as serpents, no?]
Report Comment
Thanks majia!
Report Comment
Dear James: Your concerns are valid. However, in the case of beach sands, the problem will, in the first several years be washed through as sand particles are large and the percolation and drainage of the soil is good. Where you have problems with build-up of fall-out discharge of radionuclides is where the rain comes down, pools and dries. Examples of places where this has been already mentioned in other articles quite a lot is in depressions in gutters, sidewalks with poorer drainage (clay subsoils, compacted subsoils, remember not all these surfaces work to usher water into drainage as intended. Many paved surfaces have small imperfections in grade. There are areas of soil where there is poor drainage where rainwater can pool and dry.), roofs and gutters, particularly flat roofs and gutters that don’t quite drain will also be good outdoor surface locations, as mentioned in other articles, for radionuclide Geiger and sediments testing. As to ocean life, it’s a good idea to study how bioaccumulation of radionuclides works. Again, there, your concerns are very valid.

“When is it risk mitigating to have an explosion to “de-criticalize”…” ???
Yes, that’s the overall point and perhaps the “REAL” question.
It’s complex so it’s hard to discuss, but the way I understand it is that an intentional Nuke explosion might ‘mitigate’ the ongoing accelerating chain of events that have no end in sight. It might be better to take a single ‘hit’ or high dose and then get it over with rather than have this ongoing s-l-o-w dosing.
Obviously a difficult topic for public discussion and one where the FINAL decision will most likely come from our political/military/scientific elite/leaders. That’s the horrible truly scary part!
It seems as though we really have no say or control in this world wide catastrophic matter. All we can do is ‘duck and cover’, report and hang on for the ride.
I do feel we should at least be informed. It’s the only fair, human thing to do!

Let me get this straight…..Workers erroneously loosened a screw… and 64 tons of primary reactor vessel water (highly contaminated) “leaked” into containment building.
Just for future reference: a ton of water is 240 gallons.
So 15,360 gallons of water went through a screw hole. And nobody was contaminated because as our UK plant operator in the propaganda video mentioned here several months ago would say: “it just washes off with soap and water.”
Marxist Fiona Fox, the Director of the Science Media Center in the UK is a lead actor in the video and if you haven’t seen it then take a look sometime for a good laugh at this smear job telling us everything is great in Japan:
http://www.worldbytes.org/after-fukushima-the-fear-factor/
As you sit and read the Enenews reports remember over half the world’s population has little exposure to daily electronic media and the 99% of the fortunate ones that have access to the mainstream and Internet stream media never stray from the influence of the mainstream reports like Ms. Fox.
You and I are controlled by a dangerous cabal of Governments loosely interconnected by a common thread of military and economic interests. Their enemies today become their allies tomorrow as it suits the situation. Aldous Huxley described it well 80 years ago in his classic futuristic tale of 2560 England: Brave New World.
Neil Postman’s critical comparison of his book with Orwell’s book 1984 about sums up our presnt conundrum:
“What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egotism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance.”

“What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.”
How many people do you know today who are serious readers? Although I have been an inveterate reader all my life, I recently asked someone whether they had read a book they wanted me to review. Their answer? “Why I don’t think I’ve read a book since high school” (that person is 70 years old!).
Those who do read at all read things like Reader’s Digest, People, or trivial fiction that won’t be around a hundred years from now. As Larry McMurtry said not long ago, “People come to my bookstore and sit and marvel at how many books we have, but they don’t buy them.” Most of the famous bookstores in this country have gone out of business. Take a look at any store selling music cds and you will see things like “Beethoven’s greatest hits.”!! It’s enough to make anyone weep.
What does all this say about the intellectual level of most people in the United States? Huxley was right in the end and Orwell was wrong. No need to burn books, people don’t read them anyway.

One thing about stupid people in the Media and those trying to deny the problem are what we call FOOLS. They sit and say everything is fine while a disaster is under their feet. They should all be denounced and made fools of . As to the problems in Japan every day that goes by the situation becomes more and more unstable and solutions get dimmer and dimmer. You have a whole massive Island where people are going to dies by the thousands cause people who live in the dream world can not see or come up with solutions. Everything in Japan will become radiated from people to everything around and under them. The government of Japan is harvesting the internet to keep the truth away from the people in Japan,and say happy people will not get sick. THROW the stupid people out and jail them.
Setup a radioactive Council of scientists from all walks of life to work on solutions, and come up with viable fixes and solutions before all the radioactive materials hit ground water and explode that will spread all over the planet. Mankind developed a uncontrollable source of energy, with no real insight as to the disaster at hand. With 6 or more containment’s in emergency conditions we need to start saving the people, get labs up and running on islands away from japan, send the people to these lab sites and setup up radiation hospitals,and start to treat the injured. There are going to have to be some safe places to move populations forget the buildings and material things people mean more that that. The tons and tons of radioactive materials are going to have to be yanked out of the ground and put in silos that can hold these radioactive and hot materials on site. Radioactive water is going to have to be filtered and filters stored in the same silos too. If nothing is done you will see 6 china syndromes and massive explosions when the heated materials hit ground water which will cause the largest steam and radioactive explosion known to mankind.This could wipe out all food & life

SP: I wish it were so simple. The melt outs of nuclear fuel are to put it bluntly: virtually unquenchable fires. They are the spawn of GE, Hitachi, and Toshiba scientists and those professionals knew the risks when designing a plant. Dr. Frankenstein’s brainless monsters are running amok and there is no axe to kill them, and no place to hide.
There is a way to break up the corium or bury them with neutron bomb backfires and that is a method that may yet be employed if Tepco workers are forced to abandon the plant.
I have an educated guess that if such an event occurs the video feeds will be shut off before the blasts and the US troops in Japan will be “redeployed” days before the blast. It may be a hasty deployment because if Daiichi gets totally out of control, Daini will follow and then we may see the real domino theory of plants going out of control all across Japan. It could happen, but I would say they have a good chance of stopping it at just the loss of the entire island at Fukushima Daiichi.
I postulate that it has been widely known by nuclear physicists and engineers for 30 years that a massive meltdown of a major plant could create a hemispheric holocaust event. Make no doubt about it…Fukushima Daiichi is a major plant. It is one of the top 15 largest nuclear plants in the world of the 432 operating reactors worldwide. 65 more are under construction and the top 15 position may slip, but it is one huge nuclear plant.
Let us give credit to the builders and designer of Daiichi while we still do have “live” video feeds and before the governments cut the Internet news from Japan for billions.

General Electric designed all 6 reactors.
GE built units 1, 2, and 6. Unit 6 actually is a stronger Mark II building versus Mark I for the others, must have been an afterthought based on 5 years of hindsight from 5 to 6.
Toshiba built Units 3 and 5 so it really gets a raspberry for the MOX monster at 3.
Hitachi built only one unit which is Unit 4 and that gets a another thumbs down for excessive spent fuel assemblies compared to 1,2, and 3 (double each of them).
Of course they are all to blame for the enormous spent fuel in the common pond…more fuel assemblies than all the rest of the six units put together.
Let us not forget the builder employed at Fukushima Daiichi for all six units…Kajima.
The Japanese were going to add two more huge units at Daiichi giving the world a Fukushima Daiichi Unit 7 and 8, but those plans got canceled last spring. I guess there is always some good news in a disaster.

Depleted uranium penetrators have density two and a half times
greater than steel and provide high penetration characteristics,
and a “pyrophoric” effect. When the DU penetrator hits a tank’s
armor, both the penetrator and armor partially liquefy under the
tremendous pressure. Once the armour has been perforated, that
part of the penetrator which has not melted, together with the
molten armour and fragments that break away from the interior,
ricochet inside the vehicle. This usually causes a fire, and if it
reaches stored ammunition inside the tank, leads to catastrophic
explosions.
But depleted uranium has still another important advantage.
Under extreme pressure, a depleted uranium penetrator suffers
adiabatic shear, meaning it breaks during penetration, but always
keeping an pointed end instead of that mushroom shape that
tungsten penetrators assume during the penetration process.
This means that DU penetrators carve a smaller, more energy
efficient pathway trough the armor it strikes. Hence the higher
penetration performance of the DU penetrators compared to
tungsten ones…..”
