Dose

Problem with getting dosed is most nuclear contamination is not a one time event. If not cleaned up nuclear doses can continue to contaminate for 100's of years. And Fukushima keeps emitting more everyday.

Time and distance is not so much a factor after periods of initial release because the long lived materials keep being distributed through the food chain.

As for the USS rr, I wonder if the crews' quarters were cleaned up? IOW, was the whole ship scrubbed, or just the deck? Air supply systems? Water supplies?

This points out the unique problems with nuclear contamination. Maybe this trial will help get the Truth out?

Quit yer dreaming, FBaggins

It really makes you look..... not so smart.

Water is a solvent. Water destroys rocks, concrete too. Add in the rads and the movement and the physics of erosion, and you end up with problems. Really, I have to be the one to remind you of such elemental facts?

The buildings were damaged by the earthquakes. Now ground water is flowing into the basements, and water from above that is used to cool the cores is adding to the amounts flowing into and out of the basements. And that is becoming a big problem. Even Tepco admits these facts.

Solve a lot of $$ problems

If the rich want to horde that money, they have to pay a tax.

If they spend it by paying fair wages to the workers they won't pay much tax. What happens in that case is the workers pay most taxes.

A $15 min wage, and 15% tax on horded, unspent money, and things will be more fair and balanced.

Roofs removed by Tsunamis?

Yeah, sure thing jeff.

You may want to just delete that and move on?

Fukushima radioactive waters to hit US any day now

According to this report it would take 3 years for the Fuku radioactive waters to reach the western US shores. (But we already have debris from the tsunami reaching us, so any day now.)

And given that the reactors have been and are still leaking radioactivity, the plumes will keep coming and coming. Adding up. Even if the leaks were stopped today, for 3 years we would see pollution hitting us.

At this link is the web page that article above is based on. Turn on javascript and click on map to see how water flows across the pacific, or anywhere.

Not holding my breath

I go hunting a troll, make them expose themselves by cornering them, and I get stabbed in the back. Makes ya wonder, doesn't it? Or is it just an honest mistake? That's why we make apologies__because of honest mistakes.

Here is the troll's pizza page:

Note the last post made.

Glad to have been of service. Who is next?

How much $$ do they need?

How is it you know there is no NPP fuel at Hanford?

Did you know that the budget this year at Hanford is $2 billion or more? How much have the contractors been paid so far?

Why can't they pump the leaking tanks at Hanford and place the residue in new tanks?

Tornado Theory

Here is my new theory of tornado construction/means of destruction:

The tornado 'tube' is full of water falling from the clouds. It is a cloud falling to earth from as high as 40,000 feet.

The falling water from the cloud hits the circular turning rising air and that air concentrates the falling water into what we see: the circular funnel shaped cloud and the tube reaching to the earth.


When you see the on-ground track of the storm where it crosses open land, a mud trail is left from the impact of water hitting with its mass and velocity.


When that concentrated mass of water hits the ground, it hits like a ton of bricks smashing everything it hits.

Just a theory. Feel free to discuss.

Hot Water From Fukushima is Entering Pacific Ocean

Based on satellite observations of Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies, it appears nuclear heated water from the destroyed nuclear plants at Fukushima is entering the Pacific ocean off the coast of Japan.


There are three uncontrolled reactor cores that have melted from overheating. That has never happened before.

And one of them had a good bit of plutonium. So we are dealing with a lot of unknowns.

What is surmised is that these melted blobs of nuclear reactor cores have burned down into the ground next to the Pacific ocean and have been heating the ground water for two years. Ground water there moves into the ocean at a slow pace.

This nuclear heated water then becomes surface water in the Pacific. It may only be a few dozen meters in depth. Maybe less than that since it is fresh water and fresh water floats on top of salt water.

First is a map of Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies (SSTA) from a week ago, from Unysis Weather. Following that is another source map from NOAA of SSTA.

First the Unysis map from April 7, 2013. Look closely at the yellow and red blob offshore of Japan. Note there is not another red and yellow blob anywhere else on the map.

Here is the map from NOAA from April 20, 2013. Look closely at the SSTA around Japan and note that most of the water around Japan is actually cooler than usual (anomaly) but there again is that hot spot off the coast of Japan, just offshore from Fukushima.

This is what the satellites are showing. Discuss.

Fukushima is Heating Pacific Ocean

The melted reactors of Fukushima have been leaking hot water into the ocean and satellites can see the added heat.

Here is link to surface anomaly. Hot link won't show, so copy and paste this link.

See the yellow blob off the coast of Japan? A few days ago it was red.

There are three uncontrolled reactor cores that have melted from overheating. That as never happened before.

And one of them had a good bit of plutonium. So we are dealing with unknowns.

What is surmised is that these melted blobs of nuclear reactor cores have burned down into the ground next to the Pacific ocean. Ground water there moves into the ocean at a slow pace.

This nuclear heated water is now surface water. It may only be a few dozen meters in depth. The fact that it contains many radioactive compounds could be keeping it from mixing with the unpolluted colder seawater, besides the fact that radiation still produces constant heat.

What we have here are uncontrolled reactors, and the science shows excess heat is being produced and that heat is affecting the temperatures in the nearby Pacific ocean.
