Un-Flippin-Believable. Covering their tracks and announcing lies they uncovered days after the "accident" at Fukushima! Just UNBELIEVABLE. Today must have been Sunday Confession day in Japan. OMG. CHAOS is all I can say. What a JOKE! Meltdown in unit 1 so they place a tent over it. Unit 4 leaning and may fall at any strong wind or "aftershock". Un-Believable. And the worst part is, nobody really seems to CARE! They throw parties to celebrate Fukushima food supply. A prefecture SOUTH of Tokyo has high levels of Cesium, PS: Fukushima is way north of that area and the area affected by the Cesium on the tea leaves is NOT in the exclusion/evacuation zone. It's not like radiation has a choice to ONLY LAND ON TEA LEAVES, it's Everywhere! Duah. I could rant on and on! So, I will put my simple tags up and call it a day. PS: there will be no report tomorrow from here. I'm taking the day off. RESIDENTS, PLEASE BEWARE OF THE NHK MEDIA SPIN and the involvement of the cover-up of false "facts". If you live in Japan, please PLEASE read this article with open eyes: http://japanfocus.org/-Makiko-Segawa/3516 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkkFexCfhlA Gundersen analyzes new pressure and temperature data from the Fukushima reactors and containments. TEPCO recently denied that the fuel pool in Unit 4 was experiencing a partial inadvertent criticality, despite the finding of radioactive iodine-131 (an isotope with an eight-day half-life). The utility blamed the iodine on deposition resulting from the explosion of the other buildings. Gundersen takes an in-depth look at TEPCO's Theory. Lastly, he discusses the FDA decision not to monitor fish for radioactivity. *Note: Single radiation dose of 2,000 millisieverts (200,000 millirems) and above causes serious illness. See also exposure list below. Half-life of some radioactive elements [NOTE: Half-life is the time taken for a radioactive substance to decay by half.] * Cesium-134 ~ 2 years * Cesium-137 ~ 30 years * Iodine-131 ~ 8 days * Plutonium-239 ~ 24,200 years * Ruthenium-103 ~ 39 days [Ruthenium is a fission product of uranium-235.] * Ruthenium-106 ~ 374 days * Strontium-90 ~ 28.85 years [Strontium-90 is a product of nuclear fission and is found in large amounts in spent nuclear fuel and in radioactive waste from nuclear reactors.] * Uranium-234 ~ 246,000 years * Uranium-235 ~ 703.8 million years * Uranium-238 ~ 4.468 billion years gamma rays, alpha particles, beta particles, neutrons, uranium, plutonium, mox fuel, spent fuel rods, cooling pools, nuclear meltdown, JapanFocus.org, kyodo news, chain reaction, chlorine-38, chlorine-37, seawater, fukushima daiichi, today, update, newest information, splitting atoms, water into pacific ocean, TEPCO, Tokyo Electric power company, GE, Earthquake, tsunami, aftershocks, fault line, fission, isotype Te-129, half life, halflife, reactor core, inadvertent criticality, chernobyl on steroids, dosimeters, roentgens, boron, daughter products, satellite image, crane camera view, update on crisis in Japan, The Great Eastern Japan Earthquake, rescue, Arnie Gunderson, Fairewinds Associates, fairewinds.com, nutron bursts, neutron bursts, strange isotope, nuclear reactors, chain reaction, table of elements, decay, iodine 131, high levels, units 1 2 3 4 5 6, telerium, part of core undergoing periodic nuclear fission, extra heat, extra radiation, neutrons, difficult to measure, doses of radiation difficult to measure, portion of core periodically turning itself on, boiled seawater, aerial view of fukushima daiichi after explosion, water, crane cam, hydrogen explosion, polymer, compound, filter curtains, containment plan, high levels of radiation, remote control robot, rising water levels, radioactive substances, suppession pool, containment vessel, storage pool, nitrogen injection, salt removal, water purification, environmental monitoring, evacuation zone, decontamination, residents, cooling system, http://www.fairewinds.com/ The Battle of Chernobyl is a 1.5 hour documentary that is a "must see" in my opinion... here is the link: http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/the-battle-of-chernobyl/ also, leakspinner has good conversational data about the japan fukushima situation here on youtube. just type leakspinner in the search box and you will find his channel. also, TheFreedom2choose on youtube has a lot of good news stories on Fukushima.
