ALERT - Abnormal Radiation Detected Near Border -(SKorea/NKorea)

Oh WOW, just wow, some issues at GLP can really get to me lol.
I Have PIN issues :)

<note to self: Time to take a Break>

I saw you posted the article before me, however I wanted to test my theory on Exclamatiomn points, RED ALERTS, OMG's AND WTF's.

I feel used !!!

Could it be from the volcano on the N.Korea/China border??

"I wanted to also mention a brief article I ran into on the Changbaishan/Baekdu caldera along the Chinese and North Korean border. Although short on specifics, this article mentions a number of interesting (and potentially odd/wrong) things: (1) Baekdu is showing signs of "becoming active" - this is the first I've heard of that, but the article does mention increased seismicity, inflation of 10 cm since 2002 and an increase in surface temperature; (2) the North Korean government is creating "comprehensive countermeasures" in case of an eruption - I have no idea what this means, it almost suggests they want to come up with ways to stop the eruption, which is ridiculous; (3) that the recent North Korean underground nuclear test might have had an effect on the magmatic system at Baekdu - and this strikes me as 100% pure speculation. The volcano has a caldera lake at the top, known to the Chinese as the "Lake of Heaven" and a Korean-speaking population living around the edifice. If Baekdu were to erupt, it would be a very large problem for North Korea's already teetering economy and government - the eruptions tends to be explosive with the last coming in 1903. However, Baekdu/Changbaishan did likely produce a VEI 7 eruption ~1000 A.D., meaning any activity at the volcano should be closely monitored (which could be difficult with its location on the Chinese-North Korean border).

Turn the VuVuZelas off or you get it

No, not xenon. Radioactive xenon is not naturally ocurring in any meaningful amount.

False alarm folks! Chuck Norris was eating kim chee in a nearby Korean restaurant.

NK lost 7-0 vs Portugal. Uh-oh. World Cup doom.

Well wtf is this shit wheres it coming from those bastard nuke fuckheads why fuck everything up?

kimchee brinkmanship

oh I needed that laugh! That you!

When Kim takes over the world he's going to send his goons after all of you guys who posted that picture of him in lipstick and exact unspeakable revenge. Don't think that Kim isn't keeping an eye on GLP and making a list of IPs.

From South Korean website, this is from their english pages.

On May 14, two days after the North's announcement, air analysis of KINS's radiation detection station in Geojin, Gangwon Province showed about eight times as much xenon as in ordinary times, a government official said. "Authorities concerned have concentrated on analyzing this," he added.

Like krypton, xenon is a gaseous radioactive matter that is produced as a result of nuclear fission. It is regarded as the surest proof of a nuclear test because it does not interact chemically with other matters.

Seoul detected increased concentrations of xenon a few days after Pyongyang conducted a nuclear test in North Hamgyong Province in 2006.

Hey i posted this early in the AM before anyone else here and i diden't get a pin WTF!

The head coach and his entire family will probably be executed when the team returns to North Korea.

Three players went missing a few days ago. . .

Oh golly, I come back and its now pinned. GLP is like a rollercoaster ride today. Thanks for the pin Mr.P and you a funny dude Hawko :)
It's ok to unpin because I wasn't the first one either to post this it seems and the discussion of the topic has gone southward.

Reminds me of something i read in the quatrains written by Nostradamus i always thought that it meant a nuclear exchange of some kind in the far east..it just says "No one in the West shall see those in the East perish" or something like that.
My first thoughts when i read it were, and this was years and years ago, of N. and S. Korea.
North Korea has a nuke somewhere close there and is planning on using it against South Korea, that is where the radiation is coming from.

Understatement of the day.

Perhaps a dirty bomb?

Hmm ...

crybaby

Not likely.

I'd put money on an accident at their reprocessing plant. But they've done a good job keeping it quiet, talking about a fusion breakthrough when they're really dealing with burned workers and contamination all over the ground.

SKs would be smart to monitor the rivers, that's where the evidence will be.

I dont know that much about dirty bombs, only that they have a small explosive capability but put out allot of radiation in a smaller area. I wonder if they produce an EMP? I never really thought of that before, i mean, if a dirty bomb could cause an Electro Magnetic Pulse?

Could be.

No no no. No more than any conventional explosive. We need educated realists, not ignorant fantasies.

so you think it may be Chernoyble 2?
