2011-08-08 Breaking News: A Tokyo citizen turned out to be internally exposed posted by Mochizuki, fukushima-diary.com, [Rense.com]
A man from Tokyo went to Hokkaido for sightseeing.
He had a whole body counter check to see if he’s taken radioactive particles into his body.
The result was “positive”.

Cesium137 ; 868bq
Cesium134 ; 6373bq

The doctor asked him if he went to Fukushima, he replied no.
He normally spent days in Tokyo.
Now it’s pretty rational to think most of the other people are equally dosed.
The doctor added, There are too little sample of low dose symptoms,so even if you have cancer in the future, maybe it’s hard to prove it has something to do with Fukushima.
This is how “our” government is going to abandon us.
We are the people, of the government, by the government, for the government.

"Do not go to Fukushima. If you are well off enough to travel, I highly recommend that you first purchase a geiger counter of the highest quality and learn well how to use it. Start testing things around you. Learn about “internal emitters”. Learn about “dosimetry” from non-biased, peer-reviewed science based sources, NOT from industry publications, particularly not from industry or government public information, as this is normally useless for learning about dangerous realities, such as radionuclide contamination. Study deeply. It will take a lot of effort and is your duty as as citizen to undertake. You can do it. Learn and teach others.
The above message is especially important if you or anyone in your family or community have children as they are from 20x – 100x more vulnerable to genetic damage, cancers, and other horrible damage of LOW-level internalized radionuclide contamination. There are NOT just one, two or three radionuclides, there are dozens from Fukushima contaminating Tohoku AND the Tokyo metro area, and to somewhat lesser degrees, but increasingly now, the entire Northern Hemisphere. Cesium-137 is like potassium to biological organisms and will contaminate all cells. Plutonium, the most toxic substance known to man, breathed in will lodge in the lung, ingested otherwise tends to go to bone, liver or kidneys, or will cause leukemia. Strontium-90 mimics calcium and can be measured with a properly calibrated geiger counter adjusted to this element’s range by scanning the bone in the forehead."
2011-08-11 [suspected date fission hit ground water] Boron Injection Wells Into Fukushima Ground Water and Nuclear PLINKO by the POTRBLOG Team, 14 September 2011
"The existence of high pressure injection wells pushing Boron into the ground water around Fukushima would be signs of one of a few last ditch efforts to prevent a massive China Syndrome steam explosion. For that reason, it is an approach that would likely be held close to the vest.
A full blown China Syndrome would result from a ball of hot fissioning 'corium' burning through to cool ground water, resulting in a massive radioactive steam explosion. However, for the most part, it appears that the Boron laden cooling water being pumped into the reactors has kept corium temperatures low enough that the suspected August 11th limited melt through was not immediately exothermically violent to an extent that it was immediately publicly obvious. The video below [Editor's Note: shown above] details the case supporting that limited melt through. In that scenario, criticallity was reached when portions of the corium transitioned from Boron laden cooling water (which absorbs neutrons) to ground water.
Unfortunately, the limited 8/11/11 melt through would have opened up a Nuclear PLINKO type path to the ground water, just waiting for the next upset to send a ball of corium into the Grand Prize winning China Syndrome slot. It is no wonder that the Japanese Military is practicing evacuation drills for just that eventuality."

2011-08-11 HEPA Filters – August 11, 2011, by Michael Collins, enviroreporter.com
HEPA PART 1
2:15 pm 10-minute INTERIOR average of HONEYWELL HEPA FILTER HOT SPOT FROM 7/19/11 = 23 DAYS OF USE IN RADIATION STATION: 85 CPM which is 237% of PREVIOUS INTERIOR BACKGROUND OF 35.8 CPM

When the Honeywell HEPA filter air cleaner’s Pre-Filter light came on, it was time to vacuum out the barrel-shaped device and test the contents. Even without any rain and just 23 days of service since the last cleaning and testing, one spot on the pre-filter, as this video shows, came in approximately 85 CPM in this spot check, much like the one done on those two peaches 208% of background that caused quite a reaction. Unlike those peaches, which you can choose to consume or not, the air is something you must breathe. And even here in sunny Southern California, south of the jet stream that is transporting fallout across the U.S., Canada and beyond, this filter saved our lungs from inhaling fissile radionuclides, an important reduction in our overall radiation burden reduction efforts.

HEPA PART 2
3:00 pm 10-minute INTERIOR average of HONEYWELL HEPA FILTER AGGREGATE FROM 7/19/11 = 23 DAYS OF USE IN RADIATION STATION: 80.0 CPM which is 229% of PREVIOUS INTERIOR BACKGROUND OF 35.8 CPM

Radiation Station is generally upwind of most of the Greater Los Angeles Basin and close to the Pacific Ocean. Even with the sea breezes, the dust you see collected and compressed from the Honeywell HEPA machine is substantial, especially considering that the station is dusted and vacuumed regularly. By vacuuming out the HEPA machines, they return to higher flow rate efficiency and the aggregate dust and debris can be analyzed. The ten-minute average gives a much more credible number than spot checking. That said, the close values of the aggregate average and the hot spot checking indicate accurate spot checking technique.
The high 237% of previous background reading indicates that even without rain, fallout is still impacting our area brought in, in part, by our season “June Gloom” which we have found to have had elevated radiation readings. We reduce how much radioactivity we track into Radiation Station by removing our footwear and keeping the floors squeaky clean.

HEPA PART 3
3:50 pm 10-minute INTERIOR average of KENMORE PLASMAWAVE AIR CLEANER/HEPA FILTER AGGREGATE FROM 7/19/11 = 23 DAYS OF USE IN RADIATION STATION: 68.1 CPM which is 190% of PREVIOUS INTERIOR BACKGROUND OF 35.8 CPM

Reducing and eliminating exposure to radioactivity in the air and dust is enhanced by use of HEPA filters in the home and office. Even with a heavy duty ionizer in a second room of Radiation Station, the Kenmore Plasmawave machine still picked up 190% of background, significant relatively dry weather Southern California has been experiencing. Other HEPA filter readings in the region, including nearby Glendale, also show heightened ionization.
Fukushima Daiichi fallout is not run of the mill ‘natural’ radioactivity like the uranium and radium found in many soils. It is made up of five months’ worth of three nuclear reactors melting down and spewing astronomical amounts of radiation into the atmosphere and Pacific Ocean. The jaw-dropping recent rain readings in Oklahoma City, North Carolina, western and central Canada do not evaporate with the rain. They remain and are effecting our water supplies, crops, livestock and this continent’s wildlife forced to feed and drink upon this disaster’s fallout.
These videos show that even out of the hottest zones (and that’s not even including Japan, wide swaths of which are massively irradiated), significant radiation is being found in sunny Southern California in the mists and air.
