URGENT: Radiation leaks from fuel rods suspected at Tsuruga plant: local gov’t, Kyodo, May 2, 2011:
Leaks of radioactive materials from fuel rods have been suspected at a nuclear power plant in Tsuruga, the Fukui prefectural government said Monday, citing a rise in density of the toxic substances in coolant water. [...]
According to Japan Atomic, 4.2 becquerels of iodine-133 and 3,900 becquerels of xenon gas were detected per cubic centimeter Monday, up from 2.1 and 5.2 becquerels, respectively, during previous measurements conducted last Tuesday.

Don’t JUST comment on stories on enenews…..
Start commenting on the other articles on drudgereport, etc.
Remind people what’s still going on in Japan. Everyone has a right to know the truth.
You’d be surprised how a few comments here and there can snowball…you know, I told one person and she told all of her friends, etc., etc.
For example, you might link Jeff McMahon from Forbes story about the radiation in water, milk, etc. That’s a real eye opener that most people have no idea about.

Keep your comments factual and pithy and polite. Just tell the truth. Don’t veer off on tangencies.
And thank you enenews for covering this still.

Why isn’t the American press covering all this?

But what about all the fallout in the grain belt?
“Viagra! Khaddafi gave his rape troops Viagra!”

I know what you mean….I am really feeling an eeriness about the near future too. I have a problem with this statement taken on topic on Kyodo News announcement of problem:
‘The local government denied that the levels of radioactive substances could threaten the nearby environment.’
After Fukushima, it is my expectation as a global neighbor of Japan in Canada that there be much reverence now by Japan to the environment. I am getting the feeling being in Canada is a bad move in the Game of Risk.
This also is a huge bad moment for the closer neighbors like China, the Koreas and Russia. There will be a huge need to replace the loss of the seafood but we can use even the cows because of the contamination on multiple continents potentially. Japan is putting the World at tremendous risk of failing. And I know another natural catastrophe is always on the horizon there. No one is gonna stay put either with the water hoses if Mt Fuji erupting is the event that all their earthquakes was trying to give warning about. It’s an eery feeling I have and Japan will be tragic enough but this has reaching impacts here in North America. Ironically, maybe there will be a silver lining in the new climates of the Far North in our near future. It may be one of the cleanest lands and waters left on the planet shortly.

It’s pretty crazy how little respect they have for our troops or international law…There was no imminent threat and we already have an EMERGENCY budget crisis! The hypocrisy is staggering.
The rationales for “war” with Libya are as weak & rehashed as what they floated for the illegal occupation of Iraq!
Sadly, this “pre-emptive” BS is no more than what Hitler did in attacking and taking over Poland, Denmark, or any other country whenever he wanted to shore up his resources…! :/
The U.S. citizen taxpayer has been dragged along for the ride and we have gone down the wrong road. Now we have to reap what they sowed.

Reactor 2 at the Tsuruga plant in Fukui Prefecture.
Detected elements Iodine-133 and noble gases (choose your poison) in the cooling water. It went up from 2.1 Bq/cc (I-133) and 5.2 Bq/cc (NG) on the 26th to 4.2 Bq/cc (I-131) and 3,900 Bq/cc (NG) on May 2nd.
A small damage in the coating of some fuel rod(s) is suspected, reason why they initiated the shutdown.
What is interesting is that this levels wouldn’t have prompted a shutdown before Fukushima, since it seems the levels of I-131 had to go to over 40,000 Bq before initiating the shutdown. Reassuring, isn’t it?

So they finally got Obama bin Laden after all these years huh. Story I heard was he died years ago because his kidneys failed while he was on dialysis down in the United Arab Emirates. But considering that Xenon 133 is an asphyxiant by itself and an anesthetic when mixed with oxygen, it seems likely that the whole world could be deceived into believing that we just now nabbed him, even though we’ve had satellites and super drones that could have taken him out long ago.

Just goes to show you, Americans will believe anything except the truth. Actually it’s the whole world, but especially Americans. Just wait until Obama miraculously gets gasoline down to 50 cents a gallon after it shoots up to 8 or 10 dollars for a while. That alone will elevate him to savior status with most Americans. But then if Obama, or whatever anti-Christ comes along and uses the barium and radiation clouds from chemtrails as a back drop for a laser light show in the sky that says “Obama is the Messiah,” the next election would be sealed forever.

huh what Decker? Aren’t you keeping up with the news. North Dakota oil boom. More oil in America than all the rest of the world put together? Check out Lindsey Williams on the oil issue.
You’ll have to do a little more research to find out about the chemtrails and barium oxide clouds in this Xenon charged atmosphere.
By the time all this hits, the world is not going to have any idea what they have been deceived into.
But I can tell you this. The Bible says that the anti-Christ is going deceive the world with great signs in the sky and lying wonders that will cause the whole world to worship him.

Yes, Jack and Jay. Something is happening, the set up has been accomplished. Will there be some kind of relatiation and that will be THE JUSTIFICATION? Remember how we all fell for the 9/11 and WMD justification that led to the invasion of Iraq?

OBL is just a ploy to keep the people off what really matters! Things are changing very quickly, not only are we in a deep depression with lot’s of job losses, but the air, water, food supplies are dead and we are heading right into WWIII.

Distractions as usual, whether it’s the royal wedding, ho hum, Charlie Sheen etc. Are the majority of North Americans so nutritionally depleted and fluorided that they are no longer capable of rational thought?
Have they lost their most basic instinct of self survival?
Chernobyl burned 10 days and killed one million and counting. No end in sight for TEPCO. The US powers that be strangely silent and indifferent to effects of radioactivity.
In times such as these, isn’t it important to turn off the mind numbing TV and turn to ourselves for research, support & solutions?
There is much that can be done to minimize and avoid healthy problems that are associated with Fukushima.
Protect the thyroid
detox yourself, animals, food, soils
protect other organs with minerals

The Monster in Japan is Growing. The Lack of Action seems Intentional at This Point.
Japans Military Might is appox. 300,000 personal.
More than 600,000 was needed to put some control on Chernobyl in 9 Months.
This is many times worse than Chernobyl. The Math speeks for itself.
Japan has not the means to control this on thier own, and the time is now for this issue.

Bueno. La situación derivada de la catástrofe nuclear de Fukushima es verdaderamente dramatica para el pueblo japones, canadiense, estadounidense, británico……. y de forma inexorable para el resto de territorios próximos y lejanos a la CN siniestrada. No debemos confundirnos. La catástrofe nuclear no tiene nada que ver con terremotos, maremotos, ni ningun otro fenómeno natural, por muy devastador que sea. La catastrofe nuclear de Fukushima y todos los demás accidentes, incidentes o problemas, solo tienen un origen. La trasmutación del átomo, la esencia mísma de la industria nuclear-energética y nuclear-disuasoria es la causa única de la envenenada herencia que estamos dejando a nuestros descendientes inmediatos y futuros. Somos la peor generación (unos por acción y otros por omisión), que ha pisado la faz de la tierra desde el primer hálito de vida sobre ella.
