Two major corporations may have to abandon plants indefinitely because they are too close to nuclear disaster: www.bloomberg.comby Yuri 4/14/2011 3:20:31 AM
Good article, Bobby. Boxer's comments to the EPA at the end are excellent.by Reed 4/14/2011 3:21:41 AM
@dean Yeah, you do have to be admin to have those options. I haven't registered the name yet so i'll have to go get that. Well I was just wondering. No great big deal right now since i don't have the stuff on the website yet anyway. Sounds like some more ftp/computer work tomorrow. But this will be great, search all our stuff. Good, bad, or indifferent:)by Jim Carver 4/14/2011 3:24:39 AM- indeed... I'll help when you get there Jimby dean 4/14/2011 3:25:20 AM
- @dean I'm gonna go register the email now. See what's going on when I get back. Folks can then email with questions too. I've had this site that I'm not using anyway.by Jim Carver 4/14/2011 3:27:53 AM
- good @jim... I'm going to take a break and rest .. will returnby dean 4/14/2011 3:29:09 AM
This seems like an important photo. Right after R3 blew, R4 looked fine. And so it appears that debris from R3 didn't land on the R4 building. www.digitalglobe.com

From the latest JAIF report: "TEPCO evaluated that eating fish and seaweed caught near the plant every day for a year would add some 25% of the dose that the general pubic receive from the environment for a year."
Isn't there a more qualified agency to make this determination?? Not that we shouldn't trust TEPCO.....by Dennis Tucker Jr 4/14/2011 3:29:57 AM- @Dennis Tucker Jr You don't eat cosmic radiation. WTF are they talking about?by bojack54 4/14/2011 3:31:00 AM
@Reed Boxer knows what is going on. “We know that low levels of radiation have been detected in the United States,” Boxer said. “Experts say we’re okay right now. I want to probe that, I want to make sure of that.”by Bobby1 4/14/2011 3:31:24 AM- @bojack54 It was in regards to influence upon human life around Fukushima. I just think it's kinda funny that fish with 25x the [safe limit] of cesium over a year only equates to 25% increase in your normal yearly exposure..... With funny math like this its no surprise that they've had to redo tests consistently.....by Dennis Tucker Jr 4/14/2011 3:33:41 AM
- @Bobby1 I agree. " Boxer questioned EPA Administrator Jackson about her agency’s ongoing monitoring of radioactive fallout in the U.S.
“We know that low levels of radiation have been detected in the United States,” Boxer said. “Experts say we’re okay right now. I want to probe that, I want to make sure of that.”
Jackson replied: “EPA has not seen and does not expect to see radiation in our air or water reaching harmful levels in the United States. While radiation levels are slightly elevated in some places, they are significantly below harmful levels.”
Boxer reacted to reassurances from both administrators by saying she had once heard similar statements from the Japanese. "
Let's hope that Jaczko keeps his determination under such conditions. blogs.forbes.comby Reed 4/14/2011 3:40:06 AM 
@bojack54 Yes. It is. OK, so the devastation at R4 all came from R4. Wow, that twists the head a bit.by radioguy 4/14/2011 3:48:14 AM- Four is smoking in that picture. Where's it coming out?by radioguy 4/14/2011 3:50:24 AM
- @Reed I think this is the smoking gun of the radiation information blackout in the US. The only thing we are permitted to hear is "everything is OK" because Jaczko says so. Btw, the northeastern part of Boxer's state is getting dosed with radiation right now. Sorry, Jaczko.by Bobby1 4/14/2011 3:53:03 AM
- @bojack54 OK, what does that mean about that whole side of R4 after it's explosion. Vacuum?by radioguy 4/14/2011 3:53:31 AM
@all Worrisome increse in cesium levels in California milk samples. Hopefully this mess won't continue for too much longer. www.nuc.berkeley.eduby LM 4/14/2011 3:53:55 AM- @LM I saw that in the samples. and look. Five days after the high rainfall. That seems about right for cause and effect.by radioguy 4/14/2011 3:54:43 AM
- @radio guy You're right. I know I'm being irrational. The cesium is what concerns me.by LM 4/14/2011 3:56:15 AM
- Oh me too. I tried to get in touch with someone at Cal NUC just for the contact mostly but to ask for that. Phone tree tag, but I got a message to him letting him know I'm looking for someone who can do backgrounders for me.by radioguy 4/14/2011 3:59:23 AM
- @radioguy I live in SoCal and my teenage sons drink a lot of milk!by LM 4/14/2011 3:59:36 AM
- @LM Oh wait... it was the GRASS numbers that were double the previous just before milk doubled in that latest sample. Check that.by radioguy 4/14/2011 4:00:37 AM
- Five day lagby radioguy 4/14/2011 4:00:52 AM
- @Bobby1 To see and the hear the divide between what the public is being told and what information is out there, just watch the U.S.Pacific Command's Admiral's testimony during his recent Senate Armed Services Committee. The gulf between known and revealed is enormous.by Reed 4/14/2011 4:01:07 AM
@radioguy It would appear that R4 had a fire and explosion low in the wall closest to R3. Explains why the upper wall fell in..by NHK Listener 4/14/2011 4:02:20 AM- @radioguy That makes sense.by LM 4/14/2011 4:02:23 AM
- Yeah, I'm preaching the gospel of wash your veggies. No. I mean, really. Wash your veggies. And you may not want the frilly ones, or maybe broccoli.... if you do, wash it some more.by radioguy 4/14/2011 4:02:31 AM
- Obviously, the plant is emitting much more I-131 and Cs-137 now. The cesium contamination of US farmland is well under way.by Bobby1 4/14/2011 4:02:46 AM
- I watched Food Inc last night. You know the monolithic food empire has their entire existence in massive scale open air farming. Think they have a dog in this race.by radioguy 4/14/2011 4:04:08 AM
- Spinach, salads, cabbage and other vegetables with large surface areas are among those food products that are particularly sensitive to iodine-131 contamination, if they are cultivated outside and exposed to rainwater. Washing vegetables does not help, as iodine-131 is quickly metabolised by the plants, CRIIRAD notes. www.euractiv.com WASHING VEGETABLES DOES NOT HELP.by Bobby1 4/14/2011 4:04:42 AM
- @Bobby1 You're correct. And Re: the Senate Armed Services Testimony armed-services.senate.gov (time code 19:25)by Reed 4/14/2011 4:04:58 AM
- @Bobby1 damn.by radioguy 4/14/2011 4:06:36 AM
No sh**? Is that where it's coming from.(sarcasm) "As a result, the water level in the tunnel dropped by 8 centimeters. But it was up again by 3 centimeters as of Thursday morning.
The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency says water being injected to cool the reactor may be leaking out." www3.nhk.or.jpby gabe 4/14/2011 4:07:07 AM- but that's the iodine. It helps with the cesium, and that's got a longer life.by radioguy 4/14/2011 4:07:29 AM
- @all Suddenly the fact my kids and husband don't like any green foods is sounding better!by LM 4/14/2011 4:07:36 AM
- @radioguy yes, i hope so at leastby Bobby1 4/14/2011 4:07:49 AM
- But we have seen no letup in the iodine yet...they say what, 10% out so far?by radioguy 4/14/2011 4:08:27 AM
- @radioguy 1%, 99% to goby Bobby1 4/14/2011 4:09:03 AM
- You know what has me concerned, is that all the modeling has stopped.by radioguy 4/14/2011 4:09:15 AM
- @radioguy what modeling?by Bobby1 4/14/2011 4:09:38 AM
- or stopped being released. When's the last time we saw updated models?by radioguy 4/14/2011 4:09:41 AM
- the dispersion projections.by radioguy 4/14/2011 4:09:54 AM
