In reply to the discussion: This Fukushima Steam- are there any good sources? [View all]RobertEarl
(13,685 posts)24. No. Not clear.
With the steam rising from contact with the core are also particles rising that are radiating what ever was in the corium. Corium being what the core is and what it has melted, on it's journey down through containment, into the earth.
All along we have seen waves of contamination from Fukushima. Three cores are still venting to the atmosphere going on 33 months now. The alert from the OP is a sound alert. But such has been the case for 33 months now. But hey, we're still alive!! Sea life, etc., not so much. Is it radiation killing sea life? Could be. Could be the radiation is messing with immune systems and making life weaker and more susceptible to pathogens, etc. They do live in the water 24 hours a day.

Everything else aside, "FUKUSHIMA STEAM" would be a cool name for a band.

Too many people are looking as hard as they can to find the most apocalyptic wackery they can.

Worse, they are a propagandist selective aggregator, without an iota of integrity.

That link makes it pretty clear that the poster was NOT saying she SHOULD be shot.
