  • The last time i remember posting a link about "I hope they are on top of this threat" was 2 or 3 days ago. Referring to the focus on the #3reactor as I recall.

  • @Cup Wow, that's just ridiculous. You'd think no one died of cancer from Hiroshima/Nagasaki, that nuclear plant workers don't get cancers more frequently, or xray techs, or international airline pilots. Yeah, radiation is completely safe.
    by Jojo 3/28/2011 6:01:26 AM

  • Don't people excrete the radiation that they injest? Isn't that why a cow's milk is contaiminated? They were excretting the radioactive isotopes?
    by Pat 3/28/2011 6:01:28 AM

  • Just a parting thought ... did anyone know that Dai-ichi had two more reactors scheduled to be constructed starting April 2012? That would have made 8 reactors in one location. AGHHHHHH!

  • I suppose when NISA finally posts it will say : TEPERATURE- yes, PRESSURE-yes...
    by marie rich 3/28/2011 6:03:10 AM

  • @marie rich Well, if they post "TEPERATURE", it's ovah :-))

  • @Cup And the UN report doesn't say one way or another what the effects of Chernobyl are. It does point to an increase of leukemia (with fatality rates much higher than thyroid cancer), but says it's inconclusive. But we have decades of evidence pointing to adverse effects to radiation.

  • time to sleep some more.. it's 12 pm here and I wake up at 5:30... here is a thought all of you probably know by now. but the 'ACTINIDES
    by dean 3/28/2011 6:04:59 AM

  • @Pat - No, they don't. Iodine is taken up by the thyroid and can easily cause thyroid cancer. Cesium is far worse as it mimics potassium and the body absorbs it as such. Know where calcium goes? To the bones. It causes leukemia. No, it doesn't just go away.
    by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 6:05:16 AM

  • @Pat Not usually, it depends on the source, most when ingested are gonna stay with you for a very long time and than you gottta deal with them forever.
    by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 6:05:25 AM

  • oops... finger slippage... the actinides are bad actors when released , if they get released
    by dean 3/28/2011 6:05:27 AM

  • Calcium, not potassium.

  • good night all....
    by dean 3/28/2011 6:06:18 AM

  • @Cup The scientific consensus is that radiation is directly responsible for cancer, birth defects, and genetic abnormalities. Other than that, it's just great. Perhaps you forgot to mention the increased incidence of Down's SYndrome as relates to Chernobyl.

  • Just eat lots of little debbie cakes, nothing can live in those things.
    by FradyKat 3/28/2011 6:06:56 AM

  • @dean Stay sharp tomorrow, you have to answer a lot :-)
    by VeenOui 3/28/2011 6:07:18 AM

  • @Pat I think it's that some of the isotopes, like iodine and cessium, mimic good minerals like potassium and the body absorbs them. Then, cause of the rad, they degrade cells. And the radiation like the gamma, is like fissioning your cells. I'm tired, and this is way over-simplified, but maybe that helps?
    by marie rich 3/28/2011 6:07:27 AM

  • @FradyKat LMFAO

  • Most Debbie cakes have been around so long, they must have absorbed a lot of radioactivity.Just from natural sources.

  • heyokamagazine.com None here either.

  • @Cup....If you sincerely believe all that you just posted you are a fool. There is no scientific consensus on anything. You obviously have the internet, so I would suggest that you use it to do some research and find out the facts for yourself instead of just following someone else's lead on anything. Start with Chernobyl.

  • Should I continue?
    by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 6:09:46 AM

  • @Jojo www.rerf.jp the Radiaton effects research council did 60 years of studies on Hiroshima Nagasaki (distance from bomb, exposure, etc) and had this to say about "why we won't learn much from fukushima www.npr.org

  • i know right, and they are still moist when you eat them, so good food for the nuclear world.

  • @Hank ya made your point.

  • Hey Hank... c'mon man. Don't go all Jim Gardener. Hold it together.
    by jgbarr 3/28/2011 6:12:08 AM

  • OK. I hate liars and revisionists. I'm pro-nuke but let's be honest about it, k?
    by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 6:12:08 AM

  • I am pro nuke too, if it is handled by engineers and not politicos and governments.
    by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 6:13:09 AM

  • @Pat - Radioactive Iodine is eliminated from the body, but after it does damage to your thyroid, that is why some people are concerned. In a high enough dosage it can kill thyroid cells. However, the levels of Iodine-133 currently being detected are very, very low and since the half life is approximately 5 days it will dissipate very quickly. No need for those PI pills!
    by Terratalk 3/28/2011 6:13:17 AM

  • Which will never happen...
    by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 6:13:42 AM

  • @Jojo - Hope you caught my intention. Although I have no medical background myself, I'm much more convinced by Alexey Yablokov et al.'s study of the consequences of Chernobyl than anything the IAEA, WHO or military-industrial complex says. Point is that the pro-nuclear lobby still gets away with their obfuscations and that we still let them.
    by Cup 3/28/2011 6:13:45 AM

  • @Terratalk - It's Iodine 131 and the half-life is about 8 days.
    by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 6:13:59 AM

  • PI pills? KI?

  • Look at the Tepco readings they are releasing, it is textbook 131 decay.
