It's far worse than first believed.
Update this hour: Tepco has just reported that it “estimates total cesium-137 release from Fukushima at 360,000 terabecquerels — 4 times higher than Chernobyl’s 85,000 terabecquerels”
And there is still a daily release. The entire world is now being effected adversely by this with death rates going up rapidly all over the world including America.
Japan is desperate!
It is much worse than first admitted. It is not getting any better.
This area of Japan alone will not see a rice crop for over 300 years.
The famous Dr. Helen Caldicott says, “They don’t know how to clean it up. It’s not in cold shutdown.
The corium — the mass, hundred tons of melted uranium lava — is laying on the floor of the containment vessels.
It hasn’t finished and will never finish.
I think it means the end of Japan financially.”
Energy News reports on the findings of Chris Canine a man no one would question as to experience and knowledge of all things nuclear. Here is what he writes about Fukishima.
“There are several reasons why I believe the country will be evacuated if the #4 SFP collapses. The amount of radioactive material in the fuel pool dwarfs the total amount at Chernobyl by a factor of 5 to 10. Chernobyl’s core was still mostly contained in a building (although heavily damaged), and most of the radioactive material melted downward and became lava like. If #4 SFP collapses it will be lying on the completely open ground, probably going critical on and off in portions of the pile for years. The dose rate from this pile will make dropping sand or anything from the air much more lethal than anything at Chernobyl. And probably impossible. The entire site at Fukushima will be uninhabitable and unworkable because of the dose rate coming from this pile of fuel. That means there will be no control of the other fuel pools, and we could lose control of them.
Nuclear experts will soft sell the ramifications because that is how the industry works. When the experts “have concerns” about the situation at #4 that means they are pooping their pants. My experience at Fukushima was 30 years ago. I worked in the industry for about 15 years as a health physics technician. I was also referred to as a “nuclear gypsy” because I traveled from plant to plant working outages. That meant I was always in the middle of the hottest jobs in the heart of the plant. The engineers will talk about this part or that part of a plant, but I have been all those places wearing full gear.”
It is interesting to note the words of the so-called 'sleeping prophet' Edgar Cayce who said,“The greater portion of Japan must go into the sea.”
I hope it is not so.

Holy Shmoly!I have no clue what to say.....
ReplyDeleteThis is very sad, and scary. I remember when it was in the news every day, and then suddenly it wasn't, right as it looked like we were about to find out that it was real bad. I'm not surprised to see that things are worse than we knew. I remember at the time thinking that if the Japanese with their very good minds couldn't figure out a way to contain it, then we're going to be in real trouble if we ever have an earthquake near our own.
ReplyDeletewell guess Japan will import more food. I think it already is a food importer.
ReplyDeleteAmazing about Cayce. But what does this mean for the world's ecosystem? Does G-d have to recreate our planet?
ReplyDeleteSince it was degraded from what occured in Gan Eden I think He will renew the earth.
DeleteIt says in Tehillim 104 it says "you renew the face of the earth".
I bought a geiger counter several months ago because of the radioactive merchandise that was discovered at bed, bath, and beyond, and also because of the many other radiation issues in our world today. I do turn it on to check the rain. Have monitored radiation levels, or lack thereof, when at the shopping mall, grocery store, also when walking to our mailbox. Fortunately, have not experienced anything other than normal radiation levels, so far. I'm located in Georgia, north of Atlanta, south of Chattanooga, TN. Want to know where I have found dangerous levels of radiation? In antique stores. Gotta love Vaseline Glass! Also when driving have had the geiger counter register dangerous levels, as if to reveal that someone or something is transporting radioactive materials in unmarked vehicles. Danger is all around us. Have been advised to keep my thyroid loaded with clean iodine because when exposed to radioactivity, the thyroid is where it collects. All the best, moorenclein
ReplyDeleteVery cool that you bought a Geiger counter.
DeleteKeep us posted on what you find .
Things are getting scary out there.
This is getting scarier by the day! Geiger counter is going to be my next purchase....thanks!!
ReplyDeleteSo sad for Japan!! Seems like so much is coming to fruition now.
ReplyDeleteLot of predictions are happening. Time to be aware...is NOW!
