fyi - now I have to find out what a “hot particle” is... :)
Hysteria! The Fukushima readings were taken immediately offshore from the incident. The Chernobyl and Bikini measurement were taken from hundreds of miles away, hence the lower level readings. And one “particle” means they can count a single emission of an alpha, beta or gamma ray. Hardly something to be concerned with.
How old is that video?Judging from the streaming news banner at the bottom,I’d say pretty old.
I always get my scientific papers from Zero Hedge. Especially when the papers use Wikipedia as a source.
The Fukushima reactor was practically sitting in the surf, while Chenobyl's is something like 1,000 miles from the ocean, so that comparison is a bit pointless.
In general, the Fukishima event as not an airborne release of radiation.
Scary headline designed to close-down a safe form of power and enrich plaintiffs lawyers. Fukushima: 0; Chappaquiddick: 1.
Has anyone begun a systematic survey and analysis of sea food around the pacific basin with respect to the sea water flows around Japan and the basin?
“The party line from the Japanese, Canadian and American governments are that these are safe levels of radiation.”
And we can surely trust them, especially the Japanese govt, now can’t we? sarc/ This is going to royally f**k up marine life in the Pacific. And their is no end to this in sight.
I’ve often wondered if there were a modern day “Battle of the Coral Sea”, prior to any war being declared, how would such an event be reported?
...such as nuclear torpedos fired between submariners, or North Korean/Islamic Jihadist/Chinese adversaries,...how would such an event be handled by an American Administration like Clinton handled, say Flight 800,...iaw std CTs.
The evidence of such a remote event might be controllable. Physical evidence such as seismology and radioactive fallout might also be reported by ‘knowledgeable sources’.
Such things are highly improbably, IMHO, but more plausible than Obama becoming President or Hillary becoming a Senator for NY, but then again those things have already happened.
Go figure.
Did the denizens of ZeroHedge tie in the chemtrail connection too?
“Radiation from Fukushima Will Be 10 Times Bigger than All of the Radiation from Nuclear Tests”
That’s a suspiciously round number. Are they sure it won’t be 9 times, or 12?
One thing I’ve noticed about ZeroHedgers, they’ll fall for anything that has a chart to go along with it.
So, what do the Hedgers want done about this problem?
The “immediate” “high” numbers of released particles is vastly over-powered by the small ppm numbers in the oceans, on the whole, after dispersal throughout the seas.
On the other hand, it might call into question whether or not a large Fukishima type nuclear plant belongs sited near any body of water other than a man-made body of water that might go no where but directly down into the ground beneath it.
News about our sailors aboard the USS Ronald Reagan and USS Essex. They were responding to the initial Tsunami crisis.
“will be”? Typical wiggle statement by alarmist liberal types that hate nuclear power. Let’s us know when it actually is.
Readings become “red” if there is an increase of average radiation. Scroll over to Japan and enlarge to Fukishima. It is green, but the radiation is literally off the charts. It will spike if there is an event, like breaking a fuel rod as it is pulled out of storage pool #4. We have had these spikes. I listen to the experts, like Gunderson, or Suzuki, and a few others, and I am afraid.http://www.netc.com/
Let's pay attention to the gawdawful messes coming from Japan, China and India.
