Wilhammer Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Fukushima is a triumph for nuke power: Build more reactors now! Truth and Foxnews do not mix: Their headline right now: URGENT: Nuke Meltdown in 3 Reactors Of course following the link leads to an article fanning the flames for a meltdown with cherry picked quotes to pre-report the catastrophe that it is not.

John Kettler Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Here's a link to several recent updates on the full blown nuclear crisis in Japan. http://boppinalong.finddiscussion.com/t1382-urgent-warning-fukushima-incident-was-a-meltdown-radiation-headed-to-us-and-canada-protect-yourselves#5800 Per CNN today, nuclear fallout cleanup specialists are headed to Japan from the U.S. That alone should tell you something's happened. JonS, Judging by severe deep freeze, murderous headache despite pain meds, lit up back, intense sadness (not my own) and more, another devastating event is imminent. It will involve mass trauma and/or mass casualties. Wouldn't be surprised if it hit tomorrow. Don't know the where. Am also expecting a powerful eruption soon, based on extensive volcanic symptoms.

Stalins Organ Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 something's happened?? Did it really take news that cleanup specialists are heading that way for you to figure it out? 4 f's sake...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 JonS, Judging .. another devastating event is imminent. ... Wouldn't be surprised if it hit tomorrow. Don't know the where. Pfft. What an amateur. I haven't missed a single significant earthquake in over 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hey SO any info on what aviation assets were lost at the Sendai airport? I'm pretty sure I saw a few military aircraft smashed up onto a hangar there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalins Organ Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Yeah - strange - usually you expect the media to concentrate on the bigger disaster:cool: (which might be in a little bad taste.....but I think some humour is needed in the world today!)

Thomm Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Fukushima is a triumph for nuke power: Build more reactors now! This article has the best explanations for the events I have read so far! For starters, I did not understand why the buildings blew up. No expert I have heard so far explained that they wanted to keep the contaminated gas inside for as long as possible.

abneo3sierra Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 On the original topic here, just hope that people avoid taking the iodine pills from pure panic as these pills are known to have high risk of catastrophic results. They really are only meant as a last ditch effort against super high radiation levels. It looks like it is alot closer to a meltdown now, but most experts are saying that even should one occur, it is likely to, at least in the present situation, go out to sea where it will be dissipated.

Thomm Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Bravo for offering that Japanese family a place to stay! Thank you! Foreign language comprehension problem on my part, I suppose. I have not heard any news from them. Guess they have bigger problems now than keeping their friends worldwide updated. I feel so sorry for them!

I'm curious how the U.S. government would measure the radiation in the air to tell whether or not it's a danger to US people. How could they possibly tell how much of it is blowing over here?

Wildman Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Well, John Kettler, given the webpage you posted shows no change in the radiation level in the US...perhaps the cry of "Wolf" was unneeded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abneo3sierra Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'm curious how the U.S. government would measure the radiation in the air to tell whether or not it's a danger to US people. How could they possibly tell how much of it is blowing over here? Well, experts generally have been saying that the radiation would dissipate some thousands of miles off the US western seaboard, falling with rain into the Pacific. Would likely affect sealife, but it dissipates within some weeks, even there. Someone who actually knows this may say, but from school, I seem to remember that the radioactive particles are heavier/denser, than air so would not "float" very long,and as soon as water(rain,etc) touched them, they would fall with it.The danger from the Iodine tablets is generally perceived as worse, and it is only recommended to use them, if within 10 miles of the radiation. Most of my own news reading is on German newspapers, and they are actually quite "anti-nuclear" but even they have downplayed the hysteria as far as the likelihood of spreading, and the idea of "everyone take iodine" or whatever.

-E Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'm still waiting for a freaking huge lizard thing to do battle with a nuclear boosted giant squid in Tokyo Bay. With jet planes and tanks unable to do any damage to their thick skins weeping PURE unobtanium hydroperoxide. Then I'll take notice. It's not a giant squid. It's a giant flying/spinning turtle!

John Kettler Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 abneo3sierra, The last report I saw on CNN said two reactors at the Fukushima Dai Ichi Plant were in trouble and that the radiation count at one had spiked to ~400 microSeivers before subsiding. Radiation was detected aboard the carrier U.S.S. George Washington 175 miles off the coast. A French IAEA nuclear expert rated the severity of the accident as "one point below Chernobyl." There's also similar stuff at the Onodaka Plant on the other side of Sendai. As for iodine pills, the local Sprouts is completely out of them, but it's still available in kelp formulations. Honshu continues to convulse, on a grand scale, with several megaton range (6 = 1 MT) aftershocks in the last two days alone, doubtless adding to the joys of rescuers and body retrievers working in snow!

How could they possibly tell how much of it is blowing over here? Basically with particle filters ('cos radiation resides in particles, not in "the air" per se (AFAIK)) and a geiger counter or some other equipment to measure the decay present in those particles. Plus probably some means of identifying the exact materials - particularly isotopes - I think that's how they used to identify how well the PRC & USSR were going with their nucelar bombs once upon a tim - by identifying the isotopes released by atmospheric tests.

abneo3sierra Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 http://www.snopes.com/photos/technology/fallout.asp I am glad this was posted, it shows that the hysteria is just that...hysteria..and for people to post it under the guise of an official agency is just idiotic. Thanks JonS I am glad also that Australia, and the US FEMA, etc, are trying to get this hysteria under some control by distancing their respective agencies from these claims. The health damage if people began believing them, and ingesting large amounts of the potassium iodide tablets, would be far worse than any fallout damage.I have had to convince my own mother in Nevada not to take the pills.
