Yes it's called an earthquake!

Having lived through a number of earthquakes in Central America I know how terrible yet random damage can be.

You're quite Welcome!

All the explosions (quakes) people have been feeling around Fukushima that are listed as earthquakes on the Japan sensors. The fact that they could not find the fuel rods when they looked in Reactor 2, was obvious something big is going on at Fukushima.
Now TEPCO has announced 70 million becquerels per hour of radiation is being leaked into the air.
[Tepco] on Monday reported an increase in radioactive materials leaking from damaged nuclear reactors [...]
The total amount of radioactive cesium that leaked from the containment vessels of the No. 1 to No. 3 reactors reached 70 million becquerels per hour, up 12 million becquerels from the December level [...]

I hope you retain your sense of humour when the mutations start in your own hood ES, and they will as they already have far west of you. Anyway it is important to keep a positive outlook I suppose.

The old carrier on the way to the gulf, you know the one was to be scrapped next year. It will be cheaper to have it sunk than to pay for nuclear decommisioning.

Are you proposing sinking a ship with its reactor and nuclear propulsion system intact? Do you think that is a bright idea?

7x 10^6? oooo Scary. The A-bomb over Hiroshima was 8 X 10^24. What will be the result? Glowflies? 8-story tall spiders? Giga Kong?

Natural U sheds 2.5x 10^4 per gram. Jeeeez. I better pack up and move. We have U buried around here. It's been here for a few thousand years, too.

Yablokov is one of the primary architects of the 2006 Greenpeace -- “The Chernobyl Catastrophe: Consequences on Human Health” and an extensive 2010 follow-up study Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment published by the New York Academy of Sciences, which makes the startling claim that 985,000 deaths can be attributed to the 1986 disaster.
This claim is startling because it differs so dramatically from a 600 page 2005 study by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the WHO, and the UN Development Programme, which claimed that fewer than 50 deaths can be attributed directly to Chernobyl and fewer than 4000 likely from Chernobyl-related cancers in the future. Indeed, the two works continue to frame much of the public controversy, with little progress toward resolution. Attempts to assess the consequences of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster remain the subject of fierce debate over widely different estimates in both the scientific and policy communities. In the months since the Fukushima disaster, scores of reports have uncritically passed on the results of the IAEA/WHO or the Yablokov study published by the New York Academy of Sciences without seriously engaging the conflicting conclusions or moving the debate forward. Here we present the major findings of major studies across the divide that may help to clarify the likely outcomes of the Fukushima disaster. (--, --)
Yablokov and colleagues assessed thousands of studies of the localities and people affected by the Chernobyl disaster in Russian and other Eastern European languages. They argue that these studies have been ignored by the Anglophone scientific community.

The difference was that the IAEA used facts and Greenpeace uses imagination. The people of the Ukraine simply weren't dieing as fast to radiation poisoning and radiation related cancers so No Nukes crowd counted all cancers and heart disease into the body count. Then they got the body count they wanted!

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________

"Several organisations have reported on the impacts of the Chernobyl accident, but all have had problems assessing the significance of their observations because of the lack of reliable public health information before 1986.

In 1989, the World Health Organization (WHO) first raised concerns that local medical scientists had incorrectly attributed various biological and health effects to radiation exposureg. Following this, the Government of the USSR requested the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to coordinate an international experts' assessment of accident's radiological, environmental and health consequences in selected towns of the most heavily contaminated areas in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine. Between March 1990 and June 1991, a total of 50 field missions were conducted by 200 experts from 25 countries (including the USSR), seven organisations, and 11 laboratories3 . In the absence of pre-1986 data, it compared a control population with those exposed to radiation. Significant health disorders were evident in both control and exposed groups, but, at that stage, none was radiation related.

The World is at a critical crossroads. The Fukushima disaster in Japan has brought to the forefront the dangers of Worldwide nuclear radiation.
The crisis in Japan has been described as "a nuclear war without a war". In the words of renowned novelist Haruki Murakami:
"This time no one dropped a bomb on us ... We set the stage, we committed the crime with our own hands, we are destroying our own lands, and we are destroying our own lives."
Nuclear radiation --which threatens life on planet earth-- is not front page news in comparison to the most insignificant issues of public concern, including the local level crime scene or the tabloid gossip reports on Hollywood celebrities.

So how do sieverts convert to becquerels, genius?

After 311, 20 cattle were born at a farm of Sukagawa but all of them were stillbirths. It is confirmed by a reporter.

Wait a minute, nice try pal, just recently you showed you had a clock that was in perfect working order (probably not perfect).

I'll bet the price of veal goes down right about now. Care for some sushi veal , it's imported?

Be glad you aren't in charge of keeping count of the humans that get born dead. I'd be more than willing see if Don T. could get you into in a nursery position in a busy hospital over there.

In the aftermath of the world’s worst nuclear power disaster, the news media is just beginning to grasp that the dangers to Japan and the rest of the world posed by the Fukushima-Dai-Ichi site are far from over. After repeated warnings by former senior Japanese officials, nuclear experts, and now a U.S. Senator, it is sinking in that the irradiated nuclear fuel stored in spent fuel pools amidst the reactor ruins may have far greater potential offsite consequences than the molten cores.
After visiting the site recently, Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) wrote to Japan’s ambassador to the U.S. stating that, “loss of containment in any of these pools could result in an even greater release than the initial accident.”

told a very good friend of mine in '08, about what I felt was going to happen and how I didnt want/wasn't going to be in Canada during the build up to 2012.........cal me a woos....i dont care. We moved to Australia in 2009 and after a short stay.....3 months, she decided the moths and the grasshoppers.......bugs.....etc, were too much to take. She moved back to Canada.
at least you can see bugs, and they're harmless..............
Northern Hemisphere is not where ya want t be....

At least they know what items they will have to cover-up over the next century.

Good luck in keeping the holding pools intact that long.
