Hawaii Monitoring Stations Detect Spike in Fukushima Radiation
Early Friday morning (June 10, 2011), at about 3:00 A.M. local time, one of our new Monitoring Stations in Hawaii broadcast a Radiation Alert over the network, reaching a sustained level of over 100 CPM (Counts per Minute) for a period of about 15 minutes, peaking as high as 141 CPM at one point. The readings then subsided to normal background levels of about 37 CPM for that station, but within less than 2 hours, trended quickly up again to over 100 CPM for another 5 minutes or so. The graph at right depicts this activity. hawaiinewsdaily.com

Rainy season worries evacuees
As the rainy season approaches, evacuees with homes in the 20-kilometer no-entry zone around the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant fear their houses will be ruined by water that leaks through roofs damaged in the March 11 earthquake and aftershocks. www.yomiuri.co.jp

@dean cross between bouncing between MN and IA searching for a house to buy (SUCKS) and health issues. been away much of the time- only here late at night when I get a chance. HUGS. How are you???

@Ian I hope so the industry needs an overhaul and plants closing down
by elainekirk 6/13/2011 7:37:54 PM

@elainekirk I'm still collecting info... I have about 2 hours worth of reading to do before I can write a report about my findings. There seems to be a lot of companies in the energy and specifically in the nuclear business involved and also the former CIA Director as I pointed out earlier. I also found out that the former Greenpeace Chairman that works as an advisor for Kurion has long detached himself from Greenpeace and is known to have stood against some environmentalist organizations due to his very particular opinion about the worthiness of nuclear power. I'll keep on digging.

@pedro if i can help do shout :) anything you need searching
by elainekirk 6/13/2011 7:39:06 PM

ty @elaine,, if we had all those kinds of reports on the nuclear industry we'd cringe probably
by dean 6/13/2011 7:39:42 PM

@elainekirk Thanks. I'll cry for help if I get stuck at some dead end. For now the information flow and the connections are quite clear.
by Pedro Jesus 6/13/2011 7:40:30 PM

doing well meretisa ty for asking... sorry it's so hectic for you .. .hang in there
by dean 6/13/2011 7:40:39 PM

@elainekirk I'll bet wherever referendums are held, especially right now on the heels of Fukushima, people would vote against nuclear energy! More referendums now!

Tepco cam looks more socked in than steam right now.

@Veenie I will go read it and let you know what I know. I do know he doesn't have a great track record for facts..
by lillymunster 6/13/2011 8:20:26 PM

@lillymunster I figured that, i am always reluctant on Higgins, alone the website is full of ads and making money........but the article is making the rounds right now.so i appreciate confirm

'Don't dismiss citizens’ nuclear concerns as irresponsible'
One should not dismiss concerns of citizens on nuclear energy as foolish and irresponsible, said P Balaram, director of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore on Monday. "Nuclear secrecy has been a matter of concern for the past 50 years. But now one is able to clearly distinguish between civili an and strategic applications," said Balaram. "Therefore far greater openness on issues of nuclear power will help all to move forward." www.hindustantimes.com
by Panserbjorne9 6/13/2011 8:22:31 PM

@Veenie Edano dealt with that article yesterday IIRC. I will let him deal with the details. IIRC he said it is not true. Higgins doesn't have a good track record with facts as you eluded to. :-)
