@Edano how longg are they gonna leave that side panel off?

This guy should be tarred and feathered. He wasn't an annual dose limit of 1200 mSv for people in Japan and the food standards made more lax.

This guy's math seems rather off also. Esp his claims on radiotherapy vs. nuclear exposure.

@elainekirk I just found that. This guy seems really suspicious.

I need to make a sticker for reports from uk 'experts' to warn people

@elainekirk LOL. Like a ciggie warning sticker. :-)

Enenews has a bit about it, the comments are interesting

by lillymunster 10/9/2011 12:15:36 AM

I'm pretty sure his comment about radiation patients getting 20,000 sVh is not exactly correct at least in the way he is presenting it.
by lillymunster 10/9/2011 12:16:52 AM

it is stupid to compare radiotherapie patients with normal population. the patients already have cancer and they try to destroy the cancer cells with very high, but short lasting radiation. nobody would ever come to the stupid idea to expose non cancer people with such a high exposure. these "experts" are simply idiots.

@Edano thank you edano that puts it in a nutshell

Radiation poisoning Gy=Sv This guy is advocating levels that give some very lethal doses en.wikipedia.org
by lillymunster 10/9/2011 12:23:33 AM

@Edano My understanding was that the radiation in most cases is focused at the tumor itself.

@elainekirk that is quite odd for someone touting themselves as very established and respected at oxford.

by lillymunster 10/9/2011 12:36:33 AM

@lillymunster @elainekirk how i hate those nuke puppies. and they still are the majority. they spread desinformation with stupid and cheap comparisms. that's why we need a global counter publicity.
by Edano 10/9/2011 12:37:49 AM

@lillymunster they try to focus the radiotherapy to the tumor. a good friend of mine fought against breast cancer, and now she has throat cancer as a side effect of the radiation. :( the throat cancer developed really fast (within weeks) after the breast radiation.

Just received an e-mail yesterday from a friend in Japan - I quote:
As of this weekend there is an 'oyster festival' in the areas surrounding Fukushima. The authorities carried out extensive testing prior to permitting the festival to proceed. That is good news for the local fishing fleet and Japanese in general. Reports on TV news stated the festival was well attended on day one.
by Muninn 10/9/2011 12:42:12 AM

@Muninn they are allowing fishing in those waters!!.......... I need coffee
by elainekirk 10/9/2011 12:43:11 AM

Guardian has a good article on this guy and other experts who don't agree with him www.guardian.co.uk

@Muninn

Iwate fishers sell oysters at traditional hut shop

Oyster farmers in northeastern Japan have served grilled oysters to customers for the first time since the March 11th disaster. The dish is a specialty of a town that was destroyed by tsunami.

The oyster sale is part of a 2-day event in Iwaizumi, Iwate Prefecture to promote local seafood and matsutake mushrooms.

The event features 27 booths and is being held to inform people about the ongoing reconstruction of Iwate's coastal areas.

The oysters come from the nearby town of Yamada.

People in Yamada have been struggling to get the oyster farms back into operation because many facilities were destroyed by tsunami. But they managed to harvest just enough oysters for the occasion.

A visitor from Shizuoka Prefecture in central Japan said he was buying oysters to help support the disaster-hit area.

@Edano your friend so sad

oysters accumulate all the heavy metals and mushrooms ..... good appetite.

@lillymunster I daren't speak , everytime I show confidence in the guardian they go and print some crap dso I will remain silent
by elainekirk 10/9/2011 12:47:47 AM

@elainekirk yes, but they have really good microinvasive therapies nowadays .... they don't remove the throat as a whole, they use lasers and cut away the tumorous parts. but still it is not nice.
by Edano 10/9/2011 12:47:58 AM

@Edano no not nice at all
by elainekirk 10/9/2011 12:48:28 AM

@elainekirk how dare he say "Radiotherapy patients can tolerate up to 20.000 millisieverts per month." they suffer !!!

According to the data above, 100,000 ~ 300,000 Bq/kg was measured in Okutama area.

Tokyo Health Service Bureau repeated the same old moronic comment about this.

“It is not harmful in the short term, but we will make sure to keep monitoring”,which means nothing.

In addition to it, the monitoring map is also manipulated seemingly.According to the data above, 100,000 ~ 300,000 Bq/kg was measured in Okutama area.

by elainekirk 10/9/2011 12:52:20 AM

Thank you Edano. Ocean currents carry contamination selectively and looking at the map, it's quite possible that the oysters for this particular event are still all right to eat (At least I hope they checked). But it's of course only a matter of time until that entire coastline is contaminated and so the message this news sends to the average person is of course sinister. Eating oysters and fish from those waters is or will be like playing russian roulette with your health.
by Muninn 10/9/2011 12:53:28 AM

"experts" like this guy, Yamashita and Kahlili should be invited to put their money where their mouth is. They think such and such is safe. They should go do that and let everyone know how it turns out.

Hang on a minute Helicopters create a down draught HTF do you measure ground radiation from a helicopter fukushima-diary.com
by elainekirk via Fukushima-diary 10/9/2011 12:54:12 AM

@Muninn I am not totally familiar with the area they pulled the oysters from but all the seafood tested along the coast north and south of the plant by a long distance was testing very high. We have some notes on the website of recent testing.
by lillymunster 10/9/2011 12:55:38 AM

@lillymunster OMG you just got the most brilliant idea.
If the akatsubu crew get together and create an event to be held in a high rad zone then send invitations to these people inviting them to speak offering overnight or longer accomodation then collect all the refusals together and publish them tell them they ned a couple of days to really see the area and immerse themselves in the culture

@elainekirk Onsen for them in unit 4. :-)

@Muninn fish and mushrooms from Iwate in the results. www.mhlw.go.jp
by lillymunster 10/9/2011 12:59:46 AM

@Muninn the fact is very obvious that the japan govm wants to spread and dilute the radiation around the country. they want to get their people to get used to it. this is the best way for economy, but not for health.
by Edano 10/9/2011 1:00:13 AM

@lillymunster these readings are really low. i would not trust them. i cannot see why mushrooms in iwate are better off than mushrooms in bavaria 25 years after chernobyl, several 100 km away. this stinks.
