2011-03-27 Is
Fukushima About To Blow? The Doomsday Scenario
by Mike Whitney, Rense.com
 "That
the radiation is being released 5,000 miles away isn't as
comforting as it seems.... Every day, the jet stream carries
pollution from Asian smoke stacks and dust from the Gobi Desert
to our West Coast, contributing 10 to 60 percent of the total
pollution breathed by Californians, depending on the time
of year. Mercury is probably the second most toxic substance
known after plutonium. Half the mercury in the atmosphere
over the entire US originates in China. It, too, is 5,000
miles away. A week after a nuclear weapons test in China,
iodine 131 could be detected in the thyroid glands of deer
in Colorado, although it could not be detected in the air
or in nearby vegetation." (Washington's Blog)

California, San Diego, observed the highest levels ever detected
of radioactive sulfur in the atmosphere, 15 days after Fukushima’s
operators cooled the damaged reactors by pumping in seawater,
according to a study published today in the Proceedings of
the National Academy of Sciences...The amount of radioactive
material that escaped from the reactor’s core and found
a kilometer above Fukushima was 365 times higher than normal,
researchers calculated in the study. About 0.7 percent of
the material made its way 5,800 miles across the Pacific Ocean
to California, the study said. Researchers made their measurements
in La Jolla, California."

-- radioactive iodine-131 DETECTED in rain water - Massachusetts

Trace
Amount of Radiation Found in Massachusetts RainwaterMar 28,
2011 -- 8:31 AM
Massachusetts
officials are testing drinking water supplies after a routine
sample of rainwater collected in the state showed low levels
of radiation that likely originated from Japan's crippled
nuclear plant.
Public
health officials said the sample did not affect the water
supply but said further testing was being done as a precaution.
"The
drinking water supply in Massachusetts is unaffected by this
short-term, slight elevation in radiation," Public Health
Commissioner John Auerbach said on Sunday, according to the
Boston Herald. "However, we will carefully monitor the
drinking water as we exercise an abundance of caution."
The
rainwater showed low levels of radioiodine, known as I-131.
Officials did not identify the location where the sample was
taken but said the air in the area did not show increased
levels of radiation.
The
sample's concentration of I-131 was 79 pCi/L (picocuries per
liter), The Boston Globe said. Even if people did drink the
rainwater, it is "still 25 times less risky than it would
need to be in order to cause any kind of health concerns"
Auerbach said, according to the Globe.
"In
Massachusetts, none of the cities and towns rely on rainwater
as their primary source of water," Auerbach said, according
to the Globe. "That's why we're so comfortable in saying
that the drinking-water supplies throughout the state are
pretty safe."
The
sample from last week was among the more than 100 taken from
around the nation as part of the Environmental Protection
Agency monitoring system that checks for radiation.
Two
primary reservoirs that supply water for 2.5 million people
in Massachusetts, including Boston, are safe, officials said,
according to WHDH-TV. In addition, 12 other water sources
around the state were tested on Sunday, with results expected
later in the week, according to reports.
I-131
has a half-life of eight days, Auerbach said, meaning that
only half of the radiation will exist in eight days.
Sponsored
Links "That means it should be undetectable in a matter
of weeks, assuming that there is no new source of radiation
exposure," he said, the Globe reported.
Officials
said comparable amounts of radioiodine were found in rainwater
in Pennsylvania, California and Washington. The fallout is
believed to be linked to the crippled nuclear plant in Japan,
which has leaked some radiation.
One
expert said radiation from the Japanese plant is not dangerous
to the continental U.S.
"The
concentrations are so low as to be absurd," Ronald Ballinger,
a professor of nuclear science and engineering at Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, told the Boston Herald. "The
event is pretty much contained, right now. They have power

Governor
Corbett Says Public Water Supply Testing Finds No Risk to
Public From Radioactivity Found in Rainwater, Pennsylvania
Office of the Governor, March 28, 2011:
[Emphasis
Added]
…
The [Iodine-131] numbers reported in the rainwater samples
in Pennsylvania range from 40-100 picocuries per liter
(pCi/L). Although these are levels above the background
levels historically reported in these areas, they are still
about 25 times below the level that would be of concern. The
federal drinking water standard for Iodine-131 is three pCi/L.
…
On
Friday, rainwater samples were taken in Harrisburg, where
levels were 41 pCi/L and at nuclear power plants at TMI and
Limerick, where levels were 90 to 100 pCi/L.
Corbett
emphasized that the drinking water is safe and there is no
cause for health concerns. …
“Rainwater
is not typically directly consumed,” Corbett said. “However,
people might get alarmed by making what would be an inappropriate
connection from rainwater to drinking water. By testing the
drinking water, we can assure people that the water is safe.”

Breaking
Alert: Short 1/2 life Radioactive Fallout in Saint Louis Missouri
Description
updated 4/6/11
Known facts:
(1)
the fallout read 0.228 mR/Hr
(2)
the sample was a very few drops of rain water from my SUV
(3)
Roughly 2.5 days later the sample showed no radioactivity.
Conjectures:
(1)
If this Fallout blew in from Fukushima, it may have been dangerously
radioactive over California.
(2)
The fallout may have been Iodine 123 produced from nuclear
spallation of Cesium 133 via Solar Proton Bombardment
(3)
Given Conjecture #2, the source of the Cesium 133 was the
decay product of Fukushima produced Xenon 133

First
title: Radioactive fallout rain and contamination in Saint
Louis Missouri 3/29/11
http://pissinontheroses.blogspot.com/2011/03/video-radioactive-rain-and.html
Keep
your kids and pets out of the rain!
The
video is copyrighted and may not be reproduced with out express
permission of "pissiontheroses".
The
video shows the radioactive result of a VERY FEW drops of
rain which drizzled out of the sky and down onto an SUV on
3/29/11 in Saint Louis Missouri. The rain drops were mopped
up off of the hood with a paper towel and a radioactivity
reading was taken with a "Radalert Inspector".
It
is definitely concerning how hot a FEW rain drops of Fukushima
fallout can be 9000 miles and several days away from its source
in Japan. We were quite surprised how hot the sample was relative
to the radioactive snow we measured last week. This sample
of radioactive drizzle maxed out and stabilized at 0.228 millirems
per hour. Unfortunately, I am unable to identify if the source
is Cesium 137, Iodine 131, Iodine 129, Plutonium, or any number
of radionuclides the can easily be absorbed through the skin,lungs
or stomach. The risk is not so much being exposed to 0.228
mR/Hr in passing, it is eating, inhaling, absorbing, or ingesting
the radioactive source of that radiation. It is the difference
between getting an X-ray and eating the X-ray machine.
In
the short term, we keep our children out of the fallout rain
and snow. We make sure our pets and their water bowls are
not exposed to the radioactive fallout. Moreover, the greater
risk is prolonged radionuclide fallout and environmental contamination
over an on going period of months; it would be a death by
a thousand cuts, as plants and animals absorb, concentrate,
and pass radioactive fallout into our food chain.
If
there was ever a year to pray for drought, this is it! Sadly
even in the best case scenarios, it would be wise to expect
an entire spring rainy season of this kind of fallout; It
is likely that Fukushima will produce fallout to rain down
on us for many months to come. Take what precautions you can;
expect to the EPA to "protect you" and address this
issue by raising safe limits for radioactive contamination.

4/1/11 update:
Despite
the April 1st date, this is no joke.
Breaking
update to the original post:
http://pissinontheroses.blogspot.com/2011/04/breaking-alert-fallout-may-have-been.html
Breaking
Alert: Fallout may have been Iodine 123
The radioactive fallout sample taken on 3/29/11 no longer
reads above background radiation on 4/1/11. I roughly estimated
the half life to be no greater than 18 hours.
The
potentially dangerous news is that this fallout may have been
much more radioactive a few days before, when it was over
the west coast. Given the fast half life, a good portion of
the radioactivity could have disappeared before ever reaching
a government lab. Just a few days earlier this sample may
have read 14.0 mR/hr.
STAY
OUT OF THE RAIN
Based
on the estimated half life and governmental reports of radioiodine,
I suspect that the radioactive Iodine is actually Iodine-123.
If I am correct, the risk of thyroid damage will increase
exponentially the closer one gets to Fukushima. I pray I am
wrong. The silver lining is a reduced risk of environmental
build up.
--------------------------------------------------------------
4/2/11
Update
There
is a potential that the Iodine 123 is being produced by Solar
Proton Bombardment of Xenon; A large Coronal Mass Ejection
could have serious fallout repercussions.
