As much as I DO believe all that, I just can’t “go there” presently. Yes I know all about it…but it’s already hard enough tackling the Nuclear Cheerleaders @ HP WITH FACTS about Japan. To step into THAT area, the attacks would really come out. That’s a NO GO imo, at least for me. Thanks anyway!

Just an fyi…
If the seattle data was ‘A ok’.
The people hosting that data, would be able to disclose it publicly.
The only reason to withhold it is the implication of its findings… (which must be intolerable); So much so, they would rather employ criminal omission on a global scale, than explain them selves to the tax paying citizens of their nations.
Thats like getting pulled over. While appearing as if you were on drugs, at the same time: Your also attempting to assure the officer that theres no reason to search your car…
So I feel its safe to say, Seattle is a post apocalyptic, nuclear nightmare.
Anyone with me on that note?

There needs to be a news conference at which the independent scientists that have been examining air filters from Seattle present their findings. There isn’t time for peer review in scientific journals. Let this be fought out in public, as it is the public who will ultimately pay if these findings are correct. What will we do then? What will we need to do to ensure the safety of our environments, foodstuffs, bodies? We would have to restructure to meet the needs of the public. Isn’t that they are really afraid of? An actual government of the people, by the people, for the people. (And by “they” I mean the ones irreproachably making a killing off us now.)

Not being a scientist, why was Plutonium 238 detected in these Ohio cities, and specifically, Cleveland, Ohio, on Christmas Eve (Dec. 31st) of several years prior to 2011?? Yet, they didn’t find Plutonium 238 in the Ohio air after the Fuku nuclear crisis! Am I missing something here??

it may have been a release from a reactor or particulates from waste removal! at vermont yankee for instance a greenpeace article said that a shipment of acceptable levels of radiation of contaminated lead plates when it left another reactor site, had mysterioucly gone over the limit by the time it reached vermont yankee oct 2008. the authorities are still not sure how this happened?????????? i think it happens all the time! i mean until they find out how it happened they cant do anything to stop it, right? interesting find i hope someone can connect it with a specific release or transport! well done

Thanks, arclight! You can look up any radionuclide and query for results. I queried for Cesium-137 and found it in pasteurized milk in Ohio for many previous years prior to the Fuku nuclear crisis.
Here’s the query page:

It makes sense that they would release the waste products in December of all months, but if true, I am a dead person walking. I’ve been opening the windows in my house daily throughout even the winter months for the past eight years. (and getting a lot of flak from family members, too) Well, nice knowing you all and I really enjoyed your posts. I’ve probably been inhaling this radiated air for a long time.

Monitoring Nuclear Reactors
Ohio’s Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station was shut down last year because of the most extensive corrosion ever discovered at a nuclear power plant. The facility was closed after workers found a six-by-five inch cavity in its reactor head that eventually could have caused a meltdown — the closest the U.S. has come to a nuclear accident since Three Mile Island in 1979. This week FirstEnergy, which operates the plant, postponed a scheduled refueling of the reactor, which once supplied electricity to 150,000 people. “Close Call” investigates the Davis-Besse incident to uncover whether industry profits were put before public safety and examines concerns about the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s ability to effectively monitor all of the nation’s nuclear reactors.
Currently, there are 103 (104 if Davis-Besse comes back on-line) commercial nuclear reactors producing electricity in the United States, located at 64 sites in 31 states. Today, nuclear power plants — the second largest source of electricity in the U.S. — supply about 20% of the nation’s electricity each year.

i did a post on moonkais recent video and the scientist claimed that there was as much strntium released as ceasium! makes you wonder how they have only been reporting ceasium? strontium is harder to test for but if you have a gram of ceasium you have a gram of strontium! qoute
“We have said Geiger Counters cannot measure or detect the presence of alpha emitters like Plutonium and Uranium or beta emitters like Tritium and Strontium 90. This remains true but it is very likely that those contaminants will arrive together with gamma emitters like Caesium 137. ”
so when your reading 1.2 milisievert in gamma radiation you can estimate in this case that there is an equal amount of beta from the strontium…im sure prof neutron might clarify/refute !!

They are in la-la land as we know well. There is no getting close to those container vessels to fix the holes. Probably the holes the corium seeped out are the control rod holes anyway which was normal for those reactors…the boron rods were inserted from below on these BWRs.
Because of massive radiation forget fixing them for ten years unless the three Blobs crawl out of the concrete pad areas and Blobs 1, 2, 3 leave their respective buildings. The cool thing is that then they could actually see the enemy! The bad thing is the Blobs will probably kill the Northern Hemisphere.
The good thing for Kan is he said he won’t resign until the problems are resolved, The bad thing for Japan is he will collect about 120 more monthly paychecks to help his family buy imported food and water. *;-) Sucks huh? I would respect him more if he had led a coalition to nationalize Tepco. Should have been done after the second week of the crisis. Tepco can’t handle this problem and the Japanese government reminds me of their actions in WWII all over again. Squabbling and lying to themselves and the people of the world.

But, the numbers that connectingdots came up with recently up in B.C. are equally concerning to me. Basically, anywhere rain fell got . California sure got it’s doses, to be sure.

Contrary to power company figures, cost of nuclear power generation highest: research July 24, 2011
“Tohoku Electric Power Co. boasts nuclear power’s economic efficiency, while Hokkaido Electric Power Co (HEPCO) the stability of its cost. Each site comes with bar graphs indicating the cost of generating power through various power sources, and the figures are exactly the same regardless of the utility. For every kilowatt-hour of power generated, hydroelectricity is listed as costing 11. 9 yen, petroleum 10.7 yen, liquefied natural gas 6.2 yen, coal 5.7 yen, and nuclear 5.3 yen.
In a section of its website responding to questions sent in by elementary school children, Chubu Electric Power Co. informs us that nuclear power “is the cheapest.” The media, including the Mainichi, have often cited the information provided to us by power companies.
However, Kenichi Oshima, a professor of environmental economics and policy at Ritsumeikan University, has done some calculations and has reached a completely difference conclusion. Oshima says that the cost for a kilowatt-hour of electrical power between fiscal 1970 and fiscal 2007 was 10.68 yen for nuclear, 3.98 yen for hydroelectric, and 9.9 yen for thermal generation, with nuclear-generated power coming out as the most expensive. These calculations were even presented at a meeting of the government’s Atomic Energy Commission last September. So how does one explain these two different conclusions?”

#Radiation in Fukushima City Order of Magnitude Higher Than Official Numbers?
“U-drain at an elementary school 56.9 microsieverts/hour; Fukushima Prefectural Government building 20.8 microsieverts/hour, Fukushima Railroad Station 2.4 to 22.4 microsieverts/hour. “Hot spot” everywhere. The Doshisha researcher was surprised to see these numbers. Does Fukushima City residents know about this?
I couldn’t find the official radiation number for the Fukushima Prefectural Government building. The radiation at the Fukushima City Hall, about 1 kilometer away, is 0.95 microsievert/hour as of July 23”

Nice post moonkai! Have one for me!
He says…. Prof. Yamashita took up the position of health advisor on th 20th march during this emergency period. On the 21st he began his radioactivity safety campaign. And in April was joined by Kenji Kamiya and Noburu Takamura. He says that these three guys were saying that up to 100 milisievert was no risk to human beings, which means that they have permitted children to become victims of radioactive pollution. Hence they are criticised by people all over the country., but I want to make it clear that this is a crime that they are doing! I have just recently heard in Fukushima that parents with high awareness, have been telling thier children not to eat any shitake mushrooms or bamboo sprouts, when the children got their lunch! They separated the mushrooms and bamboo sprouts as they had been told, but then their [teacher?] was yelling eat this!! And forced them to eat everything!
This is now what I occouring in our countryand this is happening because of Yamashita. Because the ministry of education and science is backing this! Why do we allow this to happen?
Everybody is cooperating to kill our children! There is no apology for this!
Questions from audience
“the newspapers and other menia are reporting about all different radioactive substances like caesium, but isn’t plutonium, the most dangerous substance in this scenario? Isn’t it the alpha waves like in depleted uranium ammunition used in Iraq, or in plutonium?”
Reply
“ I am now more afraid of strontium than plutonium, since the quantity of strontium that had been in the reactor is supposed to have been the same as that of caesium! We must not assume that the strontium has not leaked; it has just not yet been detected.
Enormous amounts of strontium must have flown into the ocean. The dilemma of the current situation is that we don’t know yet what is where? I do not know either! What I found out when I went to fukushima recently: the problem is that fish is distributed throughout japan! You can buy such fish in the south of Japan in Kyushu. People in western Japan are feeling safe because of the distance, but they are eating such fish. Honestly speaking, I have not sufficiently found out what is going on now. The actual reality is that awareness is very low and our desire for feeling safe is definitely very strong. This is the current situation.”
any english translated stuff from this guy would definately be interesting! as much strontium as ceasium! not good, didnt realise that! peace

Tellurium132 was detected in Aizu on 7/20/2011. Tellurium is produced from melted fuel rods,and its half life time is pretty short (3.2 days).It means, melted fuel rods are still “exposed” to “outside” and keeps emitting Tellurium into the atmosphere. And what else ?

I’ve been an avid cam watcher since the early days, before the Tepco time-lapses were available I made many myself from the NHK feed. I haven’t posted here for quite a while, but I’ve stayed tuned in. I create time-lapses as part of what I do for a living, I’ve always been fascinated with how one can see “big-picture” patterns and fluctuations when time is sped-up or slowed. In my opinion, the Tepco Cam time-lapses (if unaltered) are our best way to really SEE the actual situation at fukushima. Combined with the technical expertise of some of the other Enenews community members (and even some TEPCO data) we can make some pretty solid observations, theories, and conclusions about the real status of the reactors.
For anyone who doesn’t watch the TepcoCam thread, I’d also like to highlight the wonderful, and extremely important observations Anne has made regarding correlations between earthquakes and vapor releases as viewed on the time-lapses. Looking up earthquake data and matching it to video is tedious work. Thank you for doing it. I thought Annes observations regarding local and shallow earthquake activity (a while ago) right below the plants were especially poignant.
