This is a video by NHK that spells out the leaking water issues for Fukushima.... They are, We are, in serious trouble as we know..... Watch as 'suit-men' calmly talk about "Robots, endoscopes, remote controlled boats, difficulties, challenges, new technologies" "Regretable leaks, mysterious amounts of radiation, Unknown sources, Tackling serious issues urgently, Hurdles for technology, Befuddled scientist" "Reassurances, First of it's kind solutions" And their "commitment to the safety of the people" And they sold us a lie saying that Nuclear Energy was clean and safe!

The team is working from the 2nd floor, where they are limited to only working 5 hours, due to the high levels of radiation. They estimate that Tritium will be RELEASED for at least 20 years and Cesium for 50 years. What are the properties of tritium? Tritium is a hydrogen atom that has two neutrons in the nucleus, in addition to its single proton, giving it an atomic weight near three. Although tritium can be a gas, its most common form is in water, because, like non-radioactive hydrogen, radioactive tritium reacts with oxygen to form water. Tritium replaces one of the stable hydrogens in the water molecule, H2O, and is called tritiated water (HTO). Like H2O, tritiated water is colorless and odorless. Tritium has a half-life of 12.3 years and emits a very weak beta particle. [link to www.epa.gov] What are the properties of cesium-137? Cesium, as well as cesium-137, is a soft, malleable, silvery white metal. Cesium is one of only three metals that is a liquid near room temperature (83 °F). The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. It decays by emission of a beta particle and gamma rays to barium-137m. How do I know if I'm near cesium-137? You need special equipment to detect the presence of any radionuclide. You cannot feel exposure to cesium-137, or taste or smell it. [link to www.epa.gov] I question this information, wondering if it is designed to down-play the severity of the situation, as they only mention Tritium and Cesium here. Exactly how many different types of hot particles are there? I think more than just Tritium and Cesium! Chugiakian |

One month AFTER THE MELT-DOWNS, MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF CONTAMINATED WATER was flowing OUT OF THE TRENCHES INTO THE OCEAN. This contaminated water contained extremely high levels of Cesium, at MORE THAN 20,000,000 TIMES the Government safe limits…… (yes, more than 20 MILLION TIME THE LIMIT hmmmm, I wonder what WAS the safe limit? anybody know? yes, @Min 19:45 in the video…...they show you their chart. (100 Bq/liter). NOW LOOK….. @Min 21:04 in the video…... they explain in September and October of 2013 they claim to have taken measurements which they show on minute 21:04, however, going back to their chart @ Min 19:45 in the video, the levels don't appear to match……??? Go back to Min 21:04 and look, it appears that the levels measured, are HIGHER than the graph showing the key of comparison (10^3 Bq/liter) in the graph. See it? The height of the key vs the height of the measurement? The measurement appears to be what, 10^5? in any case, isn't 10^3 already higher than the government's safe limit of 100 Bq/liter? Am I missing something here? This level doesn't match the Chart of their measurements @ Min 19:45 in either September or October of 2013……… CAN SOMEONE PLEASE VERIFY THIS? Chugiakian |

Saying that... Up until recently, I tended to believe any conspiracy theory over the CNN story but I've come to the conclusion that the conspiracy theory world - for whatever reason - is filled with way more propaganda and fear than CNN!

If you want to worry about irradiated crops you should investigate your corn and wheat coming from the midwest where they've been getting record precipitation for the past couple of years. "radiation gets transmitted across the Pacific." Understand we're talking about an INFINITE variety of radioactive substances. Each one has a unique radioactive and physical characteristic. For instance, Tritium will be damaging in the environment for about 60 years, havin that 12 year half-life. Tritium is WATER...yes WATER. It is not 'irradiated water' that can be filtered. Tritium also behaves like water. It evaporates and freezes, and stays liquid. Cesium stays around in the environment for about 100 years and mimics potassium, so plants get fooled by it, take it into their bodies, and mutate their DNA, never to recover in future generations. Extremely complex problem, this 'radiation' |

I haven't been on here daily (so, I might of missed a thread about this), but I see many around me still sick as well.
