Going to get a Geiger counter from ebay right fucking now. Going to rain here on Friday and Saturday... stay out of the rain in the USA folks... [/quote] My local paper gave me 3 paragraphs on the front page informing people to stay out of the rain. I have a Geiger counter and it shows elevated levels in the rain. [/quote] What state are you in? [/quote] I am in Illinois... I know they detected radiation in Ohio... so... going to keep my family in doors for a couple days. Stocking up on water tomorrow. Crazy shit. [/quote] Erm ... Illinois has more nuke plants than any other state in the union: 18 of them, I believe. I'm starting to smell a rat with all these radiation reports suddenly popping up in states with a lot of nukes. Could it be the rads've been there the whole time and only now are people -- citizens -- actually measuring it? Nuke companies have to "get out in front" of this story, as they say in the business of politics. Just sayin' [/quote]
Original Message
TOKYO – Seawater outside the hobbled nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan was found to contain 3,335 times the usual amount of radioactive iodine — the highest rate yet and a sign that more contaminated water was making its way into the ocean, officials said Wednesday.
The amount of iodine-131 found offshore some 300 yards (meters) south of the coastal Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant does not pose an immediate threat to human health but was a "concern," said Hidehiko Nishiyama, a Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency official. He said there was no fishing in the area.
