I stand corrected 8.02 days ... Potassium Iodine (PI)

It's time that we demand from our governments that they are honest about the risks of all forms of man-made radiation and that the perpetrators of pertinent and persistent lies are prosecuted.
by Cup 3/28/2011 6:16:03 AM
Sorry @Cup. No can do. American Idol's on.
by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 6:16:32 AM
:-)
by Cup 3/28/2011 6:16:48 AM
@Cup Gotcha. The health risks due to radiation are undeniable; the problem with Chernobyl is that it's so widespread it's impossible to tell how much radiation any one person got, so the nuke industry can just claim "no ill effects". That ship has sailed, we already know the effects.
by Jojo 3/28/2011 6:17:00 AM
I was thinking about the cows...they are dumping the milk now but will these animals be able to excrete the radiation and be future dairy cows and meat?

Glenn Beck explains how Nuclear reactors work using M&Ms.
by Sin 3/28/2011 6:17:34 AM
@Pat - Possibly. It depends on what the eventual outcome is.
by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 6:17:44 AM
NOOOOOOO!
by Pat 3/28/2011 6:17:51 AM
@Sin - Does Beck cry in that video?
by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 6:17:58 AM
I'm tired ... my numbers aren't coming out correctly ... yes its 131 ... I should know ... I am a thyroid cancer survivor. They used radioactive Iodine after surgery to kill the rest of my thyroid cells. Thanks to nuclear testing in the 50's!
by Terratalk 3/28/2011 6:18:02 AM
Whoever post's GLENN BECK needs to be BANNED !!!!
by VeenOui 3/28/2011 6:18:15 AM
Like in the US, all of that is lost, but Tepco will not have to pay for it, there is a liability cap.
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 6:18:22 AM
The taxpayers will have to pay for most of it.
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 6:18:46 AM
Berkshire Hathaway should have to shoulder the bill for Warren Buffett's idiotic comments.
by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 6:18:52 AM
Will they be able to plant 'clean' veges in the same ground the contaminated one grew in? NO
by MaryW 3/28/2011 6:19:20 AM
I do not need to be banned. this is what a large portion of US believes. Know thy enemy and such.
by Sin 3/28/2011 6:19:32 AM
What did Warren Buffet say? Link?
by jgbarr 3/28/2011 6:19:50 AM
I agree with banning the FOX blogger. I am serious.
by MaryW 3/28/2011 6:20:08 AM
@Sin - Beck's audience is dwindling. Apparently retards get tired of crying and chalkboard spasms.
by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 6:20:09 AM
Does sugar come from salt? Dirty earth , dirty plants, but only for about 300 years.
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 6:20:34 AM
Beck has an audience?
by Terratalk 3/28/2011 6:20:41 AM
@Terra - Apparently. It consists of old people who hold signs saying "Keep your government hands off my Medicare"
by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 6:21:16 AM
Same with the cows and all other animals surviving from the earth.
by MaryW 3/28/2011 6:21:30 AM
He still has quite a following. I don't understand it, I never watched him before but he seems insane.
by Sin 3/28/2011 6:21:44 AM
30 year half life for cesium as I recall.
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 6:21:56 AM
Really? I could never listen to him more than a minute without turning him off ...
by Terratalk 3/28/2011 6:21:58 AM
c
by MaryW 3/28/2011 6:22:18 AM
depends on which cesium
by Terratalk 3/28/2011 6:22:34 AM
@MaryW Well i don't suggest we evacuate the plants
by Pat 3/28/2011 6:22:44 AM
Caesium-134 = 2.0652 years Caesium-136 = 13.6 days Caesium-137 = 30.17 years
by Terratalk 3/28/2011 6:22:58 AM
@hank scorpio.....I enjoyed your Fallout reference.
by Sin 3/28/2011 6:23:02 AM
Half life times 10 is the time it takes to basically be gone. 30 years times 10 ...
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 6:23:29 AM
Can we somehow get the glenn beck video removed from this blog? Ralph? please?
by MaryW 3/28/2011 6:23:53 AM
Did I post a Beck video? I am not a mo9d IIRC.
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 6:24:52 AM
@MaryW just don't watch it.
by Sin 3/28/2011 6:24:55 AM
What is the current status of the reactors?
by Terratalk 3/28/2011 6:24:57 AM
@Sin - I try. I'm surprised no one's mentioned my name.
by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 6:25:17 AM
I am not a beck follower, geez, get a sense of humor.
by Sin 3/28/2011 6:25:48 AM
@all please guys this isn't a chat room.
by Patrick Kelley 3/28/2011 6:26:00 AM
Is this place going to devolve into a liberal blogosphere? If so, I'm out. I'm not here for preaching, politics, sermons, shamans, green energy, military industrial complex complaints, pro-nuke speeches, anti-nuke speeches or commentary on God or the lack thereof. Can we stick to the false facts provided by TEPCO, PLEASE?
by Bev 3/28/2011 6:26:09 AM
And speaking of TEPCO what is the status of the reactors?
by Terratalk 3/28/2011 6:26:34 AM
Hilarious Bev...facts by TEPCO
by Sin 3/28/2011 6:26:44 AM
@Jojo - My concern is twofold. 1) Chernobyl is being used more and more as an argument FOR nuclear energy. 2) Nobody is telling the general public the true story about alpha- and beta-emitters. - Gamma rays are nasty but the real trouble lies in the accumulation of inhaled and ingested radia-active partcles.
by Cup 3/28/2011 6:26:51 AM
Pat is right and though I am posting a reply, we should stick to news.
