180 – The Chernobyl Question, by The Corbett
Report. "Fukushima is not Chernobyl. The plants have
different designs, were effected in different ways and are
behaving differently. Nevertheless, there are still things
that we can learn about the Chernobyl disaster that might
teach us about our current situation. Join us this week as
we uncover some of the secrets of Chernobyl and ask what this
can tell us about Fukushima."
2011-04-04 'Catastrophic
water dump means Fukushima really out of control' (RT Video).
description: "Japan is dumping more than ten thousand
tonnes of radioactive water from the Fukushima plant into
the Pacific. Officials say this is a necessary step to free
up storage space for more highly contaminated water. The government
says it will not harm human health or the environment. But
an independent nuclear energy consultant Shaun Burnie feels
the move is likely to have serious consequences."
2011-04-05 (for this date) Fukushima
I Nuke Plant: 154 Terabecquerels
Per Day, Every Day (Correction: The
previous estimate was 1 terabequerel per hour, not per day.
So, per day would be 24 terabequerels.), ex-skf.blogspot.com,
dated 23 April 2011.
 Here's
the Nuclear Safety Commission's estimate of the total release
of radioactive materials as of April 5. Looking at the chart
(I added the English explanation), they did seem to think
that after the surge on March 15 and 16 (after the Reactors
3 and 4 explosions) the daily release was hardly more than
24 terabequerels; the lines went flat after March 23 or so:
If
it has been 154 terabequerels per day instead of 24 since
March 23, that's already additional 4,160 terabequerels by
now, which alone would translate into the INES Level 5.
An
INES Level 5 "accident" every month, Level 6 every
3 months? Slow and steady wins the race to pass the Chernobyl
accident...

[...] Cs-134 activities were quantified for 23 samples
from Alaska, California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota,
Missouri, New York, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington,
and Wyoming. The Cs-134 ranged from 0.40 to 55 pCi/L, and
deposition values ranged from 0.47 to 180 Bq/m2. Cs-134
values reported for all but one site (CO90 near Nederland,
Colo.) have substantial error because they were manually
estimated from the gamma-ray spectra. Cs-137 activities
were quantified for 33 samples from Alaska, California,
Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnessota, Missouri,
Montana, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia,
Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. These samples
ranged from 0.70 pCi/L to 39 pCi/L, and calculated deposition
values ranged from 0.78 to 240 Bq/m2. Cs-134 and Cs-137
activities were not adjusted for decay to date of sample
collection because radioactive decay during the 2-month
period between collection and analysis was negligible for
these isotopes. [...]
286 Bq/m2 of radioactive cesium was deposited by April
5 according to the monitoring station 20 miles east of Los
Angeles (See CA42) [Ed. Note: See the chart provided

Japan, EX-SKF, August 31, 2011:??[...] According to [France's
CEREA simulation map of ground deposition of cesium-137 after
Fukushima], the US, particularly the West Coast and particularly
California, may be more contaminated with radioactive cesium
than the western half of Japan or Hokkaido. [...]??Atmospheric
dispersion of radionuclides from the Fukushima-Daichii nuclear
power plant, CEREA:??The simulation was performed with a specific
version of the numerical atmospheric chemistry and transport
model Polyphemus/Polair3D. The parametrisations used for the
transport and physical removal of the radionuclides are described
in [1,2,3,4]. The magnitude of activity concentration field
is uncertain and could be significantly different from the
actual one. In particular, the source term remains uncertain.
Therefore, these results should be seen as preliminary and
they are likely to be revised as new information become available
to better constrain the source term and when radionuclides
data can be used to evaluate the model simulation results.
Make
no mistake about it however, what that means is that they
are showing the levels of contamination based on official
TEPCO and government reported data of levels of radiation
released. We constantly learn that official government supplied
numbers are skewed, often far under reported and later revised
greatly higher. This means that when, and if, the real levels
of radiation released the actual level of cesium contamination
in the United States and Canada will be much higher than the
simulation map.
Obviously
this is just not even being discussed, the world has been
praying for Japan, and here we are in the US and Canada actually
receiving the bulk of the radiation through the jetstream.

Video: Saint Louis, Missouri Radioactive Thunderstorm Fallout
Detected (video) uploaded by potrblog
It
is difficult to draw risk conclusions about the two larger
radioactive drizzle and thunderstorm events here in Saint
Louis Missouri. There is too little data to make my analysis
much more than a SWAG (Scientific Wild Assed Guess). The data
that are there point in different directions; and the SWAGs
I have to make to pull those different directions together
all have troubling connotations [updates to come].
A
reasonable risk mitigation strategy for those troubling connotations
are:
(1)
Don't expose skin to the rain
(2)
Don't bring rain soaked items into a closed environment
(3)
Don't drive into heavy rain, or in areas where recent rain
is being aerosolized by car/truck tires
(4)
Don't leave the car's environmental controls on fresh air
if it is raining.
(5)
Triple the efforts to avoid the above scenarios if there is
an Earth directed Coronal Mass Ejection
Video
Details:
4/9/11
Radioactive fallout from the trailing edge of a thunderstorm
moving through Saint Louis Missouri. The reading was taken
from a paper towel used to wipe off a small amount of rain
from the hood area. The readings stabilized at 0.2 mR/hr.
A sheet of plastic and piece of sheet metal where used as
filters to determine if Alpha, Beta, or Gamma radiation were
present. The primary form of radiation appeared to be Beta.
At 11am, the sample had no detectable radiation above background.
The
thunderstorm squall line moved in at approximately 4:30 am
and moved out at approximately 6:30 am. The rain stopped and
started three times during that time period; My samples correlate
to that pattern. Samples were taken at the start, mid, and
end points of the storm. The methodology was to wipe raindrops
off of a metal surface with a paper towel, and then test the
dampened paper towel for radioactivity.
The
first reading was taken at ~5am from a piece of metal left
outside; the readings maxed at roughly 0.05 mR/hr. The second
reading was taken @ 5:30 am by driving the truck through a
2-3 mile loop; that reading maxed at roughly 0.05 mR/hr. The
third sample exercise started with the truck's hood and windshield
clean and dry (from the second round of tests). No radiation
was indicated on the hood at the start of the third test.
The third test started at approximately 6:15 am and followed
the same 2-3 mile loop as the second test. The third test
sample maxed and stabilized at approximately 0.2 mR/hr. At
11am, that sample had no detectable radiation above background.
The fallout appears to be primarily a source of Beta radiation
Stay
out of the rain. If you have to drive through a radioactive
fallout out thunderstorm, make sure your ventilation system
is set to 'recirculate'.

-- ELEVATED (full mid-range) RADIATION -- soon to arrive on
west coast USA by Dutchsinse
Already
forecasted to be hitting Alaska NOW.. and west coast tomorrow
(April 9/10, 2011)..
Full
mid levels of Cesium
, Xenon, and Iodine.. particulate matter, in the cloud vapor
from surface level to 5000m (15,000 feet) ..
These
levels are now a full level higher than all the previous forecasts.
It
is up to you to decide how you want to approach this data.
Personally,
I believe it to be IN THE PRECIPITATION for sure.. which means
you do not want to get the rain or snow on you, and do not
want to injest the fluid.. (i.e. drink the water) until levels
deminish.
