Hey, RC,—looks like you and I were right, and all the “experts” were wrong!
What exactly have you been right about? Sowing fear and panic? Playing worst case guess?
Such stuff is never right. You are still guessing. But less wildly.
Bold assertions that you are being lied to by Tepco or the Japanese authorities are wrong.
When a person up decent information that’s good. When you seek out the worst — that’s bad.
There is one issue surrounding the comparisons . The Chernobyl 550,000 becquerels is per square meter. The numbers from the latest report are not an equivalent measurement.
Here is a story I posted a few weeks ago
http://www.asahi.com/english/TKY201103250204.html
Cesium-137 levels of 163,000 becquerels per kilogram of soil was detected in Iitate, Fukushima Prefecture, about 40 kilometers northwest of the Fukushima plant, on March 20. That was the highest figure in the prefecture. "According to Tetsuji Imanaka, an associate professor of nuclear engineering at the Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute, if the Iitate figure was converted to one square meter, the figure would be 3.26 million becquerels.
After the Chernobyl accident, residents who lived in regions with cesium levels of 550,000 becquerels ore more per square meter were forcibly moved elsewhere. "
Btw, I read some interesting info for those that keep saying... they survived the bomb, etc. It was a comparison of the energy, radiation, fuel etc. of the bombs. It doesn't even compare to what is being released at that Nuke plant. It was an interesting comparison.
