Don;t get ruled by the Nuclear Complex but rule them! YEa we may live with nuke reactors.., but at least we're not so stupefied as to build them on fault lines that can produce 9.0+ mag quakes with Tsunamis. And the Jap government did it all out of greed, admit it, you know its true. Hmmmm, but there was no active Fault-line under Daiichi, the Epicenter was far away, deep in the Sea! And none of the British Plants is equipped to handle any form of Disaster! You should do like the Japanese and demand a Check-Up, you may learn something from here! Regards and all your tepco facts changed the fact it happened?... answer that one mister tepco-tit btw... how are all those busy workers going... i seem to be getting the wrong tepco cam.. mine shows dead plants, and pretend cranes..... i feel so safe... thankyou for qualifications of how well you are looking after the situation.. in fact.. i have had so many other sites sharing the good news it seems to be going somewhat viral.... please keep us informed with the updates...... and to ensure we all enjoy this moment..... karaoke doom.. rock on silly people that sound like shit singing let it be.... think you rock... and also run a nuke plant at the same time..... so confused.....

The results of those tests showed at least 14 elementary schools, seven junior high schools and five nursery schools had hot spots where the cumulative annual radiation dose could reach 20 millisieverts, or more than 3.8 microsieverts per hour. When the new academic year began in April, the education board lifted a restriction that students play in schoolyards for less than 3 hours per day in the wake of the nuclear disaster last year. ~ |

ar-15 nut User ID: 1281306 United States 05/09/2012 09:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.google.com] We have been in a heap of trouble since March 17th of 2011, when the plume of radioactive materials began bombarding the west coast of California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. And later Maine, Europe, and everywhere in between. Independent researchers, nuke experts, and scientists, from oceanography to entomology and everywhere in between, having been trying to sound the alarm ever since. Cesium-137 at the Fukushima Daiichi site is 85 times greater than at Chernobyl. The most preliminary reports of soil contamination are starting to come in from the USGS, who has been reluctant to share this information. Los Angeles, California, Portland, Oregon, and Boulder, Colorado, so far have the highest radioactive particle contamination out of the entire US. Every single city tested across the country showed contamination from Fukushima. What is even more alarming about the numbers coming in, is that they are from samples taken April 5th, of last year. dam right on We are a REPUBLIC.If we can keep it MORAN!
