Got a text from my old (middle) school this a.m. about radiation, shelter/evacuation, mask etc.

I really have to improve my reading of Korean asap.

At the end of the article:

The amount of radioactive material contained in the rainfall is too tiny to pose any health threat, the prime minister's office said today, calling for education offices to refrain from "making parents nervous".

If the PM is so confident, maybe he should drink a glass or 2 of the rainwater.

Re: JUST IN - South Korean schools shut over radioactive rain!
apparently the winds have changed, thus the radioactive rain over Korea and soon to be China. With such close proximity to Japan, I doubt that the intensity is able to wear off much, like it is when coming over pacific to the West Coast U.S. and Canada

2.02 becquerel of radioactive Iodine is bad, but 20 or more was detected in water in Berkeley, CA recently.

100 is unsafe for infants and 300 for adults.

Still, this is not good and it may get much worse still.

Thx for the Korea Herald story. Did not see it this morning.

In a programme aired Wednesday night, state TV urged people to arm themselves with raincoats and boots as well as umbrellas on rainy days, the South's Yonhap news agency reported.

"Please cover farm vegetables with plastic wrap and don't let livestock wander around under the rain," said a health official who appeared in the latest of a series of TV programmes on radiation hazards aired this week.

Radioactive material including caesium was found in the North's cities including the capital Pyongyang but the amount was too small to pose a health threat, state TV reported Tuesday according to Yonhap.

Concentration levels of 2.02 becquerels (Bq) per liter of rain were detected for iodine-131, with numbers for cesium-134 and cesium-137 reaching 0.333 Bq and 0.538 Bq, respectively.

I think Taiwan is being the most open with their citizens.

They were due to get a wave of radiation carried by a typhoon this week.

They warned residents to take precautions.

But, yes, the U.S. (my home country) AND Japanese governments are most likely lying their asses off!

Even CBC in Canada warned Canadians about radiation. The gov't. cover-up for GE and the nuclear industry in the U.S. is shameful -- especially that hypocrite, Soetoro (GE spokesperson).

I'm surprised he hasn't run back to South America.

Japanese fallout reaches the Philippines
THE fallout from the crippled nuclear power plant in Fukushima, Japan, has reached the Philippines with a reading of 131 nanosieverts, higher than the normal radiation levels of 85 to 110 nanosieverts per hour, a specialist said Wednesday.

“The [Philippine National Nuclear Research Institute] said the level is at 131 nanosieverts, said Romeo Quijano a pharmacology and toxicology professor at the University of the Philippines in Manila.

He was referring to the spike on the cesium detected in the ambient air in Metro Manila that he traced to the Fukushima plant.

“I expect that to still rise,” he said.

I'm using an umbrella. I'm not sure what good face masks -- say cotton face masks would really do

I have some at home though. Maybe, I will start to use them.

I don't like wearing them.

I live in Gyonggi province, north of Seoul. I taught for Gyeonngi-do public schools until just last month. Now I teach at a university in the province.

I think they are just trying to allay parents fears for the most part, but who knows?

Once again, rumors being spread as fact by mental deficients on GLP...

The office had told schools on Wednesday to cancel or shorten classes due to "growing anxiety among students and parents over conflicting claims on the safety of radiation exposure".

No doubt. I think these shit bag pussies should do whatever they claim, not the promise shit. I mean during a disaster when they exclaim;

"No worries people! It is SAFE!!"

And then take a big GULP of that shit. Smile wave to the crowd.

And if he drops dead, well I be, guess he was wrong!? Who would have thought it...
