Suggest. Good word to use. They must assume it has been breached. What the heck are they waiting for ?
Of course they reported the explosion - everyone saw it.
Japanese officials delayed in saying whether or not there was a radiation leak, as apparently, there was.
Can't be stressed enough, in my opinion. Thanks for being a voice of reason and calm.
I posted very pertinent info regarding how to use tincture of iodine to you. It is from the experts at ki4u.com
“I’m getting ready to see stuff in TX...”
What?
The powerful earthquake that unleashed a devastating tsunami Friday appears to have moved the main island of Japan by 8 feet (2.4 meters) and shifted the Earth on its axis.
"At this point, we know that one GPS station moved (8 feet), and we have seen a map from GSI (Geospatial Information Authority) in Japan showing the pattern of shift over a large area is consistent with about that much shift of the land mass," said Kenneth Hudnut, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
Reports from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Italy estimated the 8.9-magnitude quake shifted the planet on its axis by nearly 4 inches (10 centimeters).
I’m impressed - the guy is saying don’t be caught in scams in donating - so be careful, many take advantage of the good nature of some.
It is confirmed it’s leaking radiation.
And there are 4 more in Nuclear Emergency.
So yeah, maybe one wouldn’t affect us too much here, but what if it’s 2, or 3 or 4 or all 5 ???
I’m inclined to agree with you. Seems that 5000 miles and rain forecast for the next week would create a fairly secure barrier even if the release were significant and sustained.
That is CNN for you. The building collapsed because of an Explosion. Was the internal containment vessel cracked by the explosion ?
I just googled, and any Walgreens, etc. will have it over the counter. I think it was the CDC site that said Adults 130 mg a day, kids 8-18 at 65 mg.
But studies after chernobyl said much lower levels also worked very well with the kids. (Kids more susceptible).
Beware though there are side effects and problems. most sites said “wait until you know that you will be affected”
however, it will also take some time (not sure how much, but it sounded fast - like in hours) for it to absrob into your thyroid.
The japanese have been reporting radiation leak for atleast 2 hours now and long before the US media reported it.
See any radiation levels, what didn’t you get?
Impossible to predict currently. We should hope for the best and prepare for the worse.
8 feet!!
I’ve been waiting to learn where is a safe place to donate- I wish Cato or Heritage or AEI would set something up so we could know our money was going to really do some good.
After the Indonesian tsunami and Haiti I’ve very hesitant.
Maybe our FRiends in Japan could direct us to places to donate that will get the resources where they need to go.
The japanese media had been reporting a radiation leak before there was even an explosion atleast an hour before the explosion.
Thank you for that advice. Will rub it on the skin. Did that many years ago with no problems, at least that I am aware of. If your thyroid starts feeling numb, you probably are rubbing too much.
If its Cherenkov light emmission we in deep do-do
