Ok you guys run and hide. I will continue to live my life and lobby for nuclear power which has been used on Navy vessels for decades with no deaths. No radiation has washed up on our braches, no radiation is in our air, and only trace amounts in one rain water detector. It has not been confirmed where that came from and if they find more they would have there conformation. Man did not create radiation it exist naturally. We use the same one in medicine injecting it directly into people. The benifits out weigh the risks. Radiation sensors in this country are not new and none have gone off. No one died in the US from 3 Mile Island or Chernobyl. 400,000 dead in Europe my ass, not buying 40,000 either. Sorry! The number was more like 4,000 and Russia did not treat people. You can believe what you want. Not trying to change your mind. Japan is going to have problems because of water contamination (and I said that) . They have no way to recycle it at this point so they have to send it directly into the ocean where it has traveled a whole 30 miles. Far from the 5000 it would have to go to reach us. That means it is on the food but it can be washed off again polluting the water. Every time we use water we pollute it. Keep in mind that the half life of the radiation in question is 8 days not thousands of years. That means that it can't travel by water to the US. Sorry! You can believe what you want. Also once the contamination is stopped the levels will return to normal in less than a month. Repairs to cores may not be possible but they can shield themselves from the radiation and they are. Granted the water will be a problem until they get cooling under control and they are working on that with the worlds help. Florid is not a major concern to health or they would not still be using it. The data is in and the benefits out way the risks. There is a reason they started using it. Tooth infections was a major cause of child mortality in the US. No Longer! The mercury thing I don't know about but I do know they are putting it in the new light bulbs which is not a good idea and we should fight that. Yes I would leave Japan too because there is no power, no food, and no shelter in a third of the country. The explosions they talk about are not nuclear. They are caused by pressure building up from water turning to gas (steam) and expanding beyond the capacity of the room. Yes radiation was released into the air during that but the area contaminated was maybe 30 miles it did not reach altitude necessary to hit the jet steam. It would only take a day to get here if it had not weeks. spike From: projects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: badgerstatevolunteers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [badgerstatevolunteers] Re: [FWD: Here Comes the Radiation To our Doorsteps] Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 07:02:25 -0700 -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [badgerstatevolunteers] Re: [FWD: Here Comes the Radiation To our Doorsteps] From: Joe SPIKE <virtualadonis@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, March 29, 2011 3:59 am To: BSV freelist <badgerstatevolunteers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Your graphic is labeled potential release (who is the source). NOAA says it is possible which any good scientist will say.its a military FOUO map Radioiodine 131 is beta decay and has a half life of 8 days. It has a use in medical procedures. Plastic and distance can be used to form an efficient barrier for dealing with high energy beta radiation. If the particles make it into the jet stream they would reach the US west cost in about a day. I have good evidence, other than common since, that Japan is shielding themselves from contamination as best they can. Meaning that the problem for them is the water. and the Food and the air , people from Japan are leaving by the planes full. ( Hawaii has been inundated by those who could afford to leave ). The US is pulling all dependents off the island and then evacuating their bases. Water 30 miles out is 1250 x's normal radiation level and increasing daily. Shit from Japan is washing up NOW on the West Coast of the US. http://www.mass.gov On 27 March 2011, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health reported that 131I was detected in rainwater from samples collected in Massachusetts, USA, and that this likely originated from the Fukushima power plant. Air samples at the same location have shown no detectable radiation. There is no health impact to state drinking water supplies as a result of these findings, and state and federal health officials emphasized that there are no anticipated public health concerns. That's from the same folks that bring you Fluoride in your water and Mercury in your inoculations BTW: if it got to Massachusetts, it got here . . . This radiation damages cells when it enters through the skin due to close proximity to the source which we are not. Ingesting this radiation would be the potential hazard for us and can cause thyroid damage in children however the treatment of iodine is effective. More people die in car accidents in America every year than died as a direct cause of the Russia Chernobyl accident way wrong which was way worse than this.wrong again I am not joining in the hype . . . ( HYPE, you say, there are 3 reactors currently, actively in the act of their cores melting down, with radiation levels too high to allow repair crews access.Current status of reactors; • Reactor No. 1: Cooling systems still not functional. Reactor core damaged. Lights are on inside the building. • Reactor No. 2: High radiation. Partial core meltdown admitted. Containment vessel likely damaged by the explosion. • Reactor No. 3: Deadly MOX fuel. Very high radiation detected in cooling water. Partial core meltdown admitted. Cooling pumps are not working and radiation is too high to allow workers to fix them. Building severely damaged by explosion. Cooling pool may also be damaged. • Reactor No. 4: Cooling water levels are low and efforts are being made to replenish the water levels. • Reactor No. 5: Cooling pumps are working, the situation appears stable. This reactor was offline when the tsunami hit. • Reactor No. 6: Appears to be safely under control. Cooling pumps are operating. This reactor was offline when the tsunami hit.) of the No Nuke power plant crowd. has no bearing on what's going on Knowledge is power! Increase your power, learn more spike From: projects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: Subject: [badgerstatevolunteers] [FWD: Here Comes the Radiation To our Doorsteps] Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 21:17:54 -0700 -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Here Comes the Radiation To our Doorsteps From:
