No Problemo

[sprinter]

The mass radioactive contamination of our planet is now under way thanks to the astonishing actions taking place at the Fukushima nuclear facility in Japan. As of last night, TEPCO announced it is releasing 10,000 tons of radioactive water directly into the Pacific Ocean. That 2.4 million gallons of planetary poison being dumped directly into the ocean.

 

This water is being released because they have run out of places to keep it on land. It's too deadly to transport anywhere else, and all the storage pools around Fukushima are already overflowing. So they're dumping it into the ocean, then calling it "safe" because they claim the ocean will "disperse" all the radiation and make it harmless.

 

But because there's more radioactive water being produced every day at Fukushima, this process of releasing radioactive water into the ocean could theoretically continue for years, easily making Fukushima the worst nuclear disaster in the history of our world.

 

Quick, fudge the numbers before anybody notices!

Fukushima, you see, is doing to the Pacific Ocean what BP and the Deepwater Horizon did to the Gulf of Mexico last summer. Except that in the case of Fukushima, that radiation doesn't just disappear with the help of millions of gallons of toxic chemicals. Nope, that radiation sticks around for decades.

 

So what to do? If you're the United States Environment Protection Agency, there's only one option: Declare radiation to be safe!

 

Yes indeed, friends, we have reached a moment of comedic insanity at the EPA, where those in charge of protecting the environment are hastily rewriting the definition of "radioactive contamination" in order to make sure that whatever fallout reaches the United States falls under the new limits of "safe" radiation.

 

The EPA maintains a set of so-called "Protective Action Guides" (PAGs). These PAGs are being quickly revised to radically increase the allowable levels of iodine-131 (a radioactive isotope) to anywhere from 3,000 to 100,000 times the currently allowable levels.

The group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) is all over this issue, having obtained internal emails from a FOIA requests that reveal some truly shocking revelations of the level of back-stabbing betrayal happening inside the EPA. For example, under the newly-revised PAGs, drinking just one glass of water considered "safe" by the EPA could subject you to the lifetime limit of radiation. (http://www.peer.org/news/news_id.ph...)

 

"In addition," PEER goes on to say, "it would allow long-term cleanup limits thousands of times more lax than anything EPA has ever before accepted. These new limits would cause a cancer in as much as every fourth person exposed."

 

These new PAGs would also vastly increase the allowable levels of radiation in soil and food, too. That way, when the radioactive fallout from Fukushima's massive release of raw radioactive water begins to rain down upon the West Coast, the EPA can officially announce that all the radiation is "below accepted limits." That's very comforting to many people, you see.

 

And why is it below the limits? Because the EPA just raised the limits by as much as 100,000 times!

If there is 'no problem' as your misleading article suggests, why is the government ordering 14 million doses of Potassium iodide to be had before February 1st? Don't be fooled by what the magician only wants you to see. They are only trying to prevent a panic which will eventually happen.

Hmmmmm. Just guessin'.

 

Supposed treatment required one dose daily for a week. That 14 million doses will only treat 2 million.

 

Wondering who get's treatment and who doesn't. Somebody's gonna be #2,000,001.

My question would be, if this only protects your thyroid from radioactive iodine and it's generally accepted that it has a half life of 8 days then why would you assume that it is for the purpose of Fukashima?

http://www.nationalterroralert.com/potassiumiodide/

I would figure that if you wanted to find a conspiracy theory, it might be better to assume that the government is expecting a terrorist attack in a major city.

And if i was worried about anything it would not be radioactive iodine as much as the Cesium. Don't swim in the ocean or eat Pacific fish for a while. Problem solved.

There is the possibility that it could show up some in the food chain, but it's not likely that the iodine would be the problem then either. Again Cesium might be bigger threat.

Don't let science get in the way of a good conspiracy theory.

So the government is in on the conspiracy theory? Remember who the buyer is?

 

For a major exposure the KI will not do you any good. You will have major organ failure beside your thyroid. But for drifting radiation due to wind or water it could be advisable to use for protection. Seems the government must have the same thoughts. Why else would they be buying 14 million tablets? Do you live on the west coast Nick?

 

 

 

"KI has been erroneously represented as a "magic bullet" of radiation protection. KI, if taken properly, only protects against internal radiation from radioiodine taken into the body. It will NOT protect against external radiation or internal radiation from radionuclides other than radioiodine. This salt, if taken either before or very soon after a radioiodine intake and if taken in the proper dose, will block the uptake of radioiodine by the thyroid. KI can be in the form of a pill or a supersaturated solution. The recommended daily dosage for an adult is 130 milligrams. If the thyroid absorbs all the iodine that it needs from the nonradioactive KI, then the radioactive iodine will not be absorbed and will be eliminated from the body mostly by way of the urine. Reducing the amount of radioiodine absorbed in the thyroid will reduce the dose received by the thyroid, thereby reducing the risks of thyroid cancer. Even though there have been minimal side effects (e.g., gastrointestinal effects or rashes) from the use of KI, this substance should only be taken on the advice of health care providers. Again, KI will only help reduce the effects of radioiodine taken into the body and not from other radionuclides.

The only possible sources of large radioiodine releases are from a nuclear weapons denotation and a catastrophic accident in an operating nuclear reactor. Therefore, KI has no protective value from a "dirty bomb" or a dispersion of spent nuclear fuel."

I think your missing his point. Radioactive Iodine is not the threat that you think it is, not from Japan anyway.

 

Science:

 

http://www.livescience.com/39340-fukushima-radioactive-plume-reach-us-2014.html

 

The team focused on predicting the path of the radioactivity until it reached the continental shelf waters stretching from the U.S. coastline to about 180 miles (300 kilometers) offshore. About 10 to 30 becquerels (units of radioactivity representing decay per second) per cubic meter of cesium-137 could reach U.S. and Canadian coastal waters north of Oregon between 2014 and 2020. (Such levels are far below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s limits for drinking water.)

 

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine-131

 

Iodine-131 (131I), also called radioiodine is an important radioisotope of iodine. It has a radioactive decay half-life of about eight days. It is associated with nuclear energy, medical diagnostic and treatment procedures, and natural gas production. It also plays a major role as a radioactive isotope present in nuclear fission products, and was a significant contributor to the health hazards from open-air atomic bomb testing in the 1950s, and from the Chernobyl disaster, as well as being a large fraction of the contamination hazard in the first weeks in the Fukushima nuclear crisis. This is because I-131 is a major uranium, plutonium fission product, comprising nearly 3% of the total products of fission (by weight). See fission product yield for a comparison with other radioactive fission products. I-131 is also a major fission product of uranium-233, produced from thorium.

Now can you see what he means?

 

Radioactive Iodine is not a large issue given the time that it takes to travel from Japan to the west coast. There is another reason why they purchased those pills.

You'll get more radiation exposure eating a bunch of bananas.

 

And no, I don't live on the west coast, but nor am I concerned for any of my friends who do. How selfish of me.

 

For the record though, I still love sushi. Had it last night in fact. Should I expect limbs to start falling off soon?

You can't cook radiation out, so enjoy to your hearts content. And your limbs will still be attached. But depending upon the amount of radiation your thyroid likes to soak up, you could get cancer later.

 

 

"

How do iodine-129 and iodine-131 change in the environment?

Radioactive iodine can disperse rapidly in air and water, under the right conditions. However, it combines easily with organic materials in soil. This is known as ‘organic fixation' and slows iodine's movement in the environment. Some soil minerals also attach to, or adsorb, iodine, which also slows its movement.

The long half-life of iodine-129, 15.7 million years, means that it remains in the environment. However, iodine-131's short half-life of 8 days means that it will decay away completely in the environment in a matter of months. Both decay with the emission of a beta particle, accompanied by weak gamma radiation."

Red eating utensils explains everything

 

 

 

Even so, officials are still uncertain as to why those levels — even if they are relatively safe — seem to be five-times higher than what is expected. Peterson told the Review he was “befuddled” over the ordeal, but suggested the culprit could be something not too sinister — such as red-painted eating utensils buried on the beach.

Maybe there really is a problem if this is true. The Japanese government has been lying about the severity of this since day one. Plus our main stream media controlled by the government doesn't want a panic situation either. But if the spent fuel rods start melting down without cooling water...

 

http://www.salem-news.com/articles/december302013/tepco-reactors-sp.php

 

 

Summations from experts conclude that this may “be the beginning of a ‘spent fuel pool criticality (meltdown)’ involving up to 89 TONS of nuclear fuel burning up into the atmosphere and heading to North America.”

Steam has been viewed coming from Reactor 3.

Educated guesses suggest that the steam is “coming from what’s left of the fifth floor of the mostly-destroyed building.”

TEPCO has admitted that “they do not know why this steam is being generated, but matter-of-factly revealed today (December 28) the steam was first spotted on December 19 for a short period of time, then again on December 24 and again on December 25.”

The accord is that “pellets of radioactive fuel, ejected when the reactor exploded, went into the spent fuel pool located above the reactor and have begun melting down so seriously they are boiling off the water in the spent fuel pool.”

Should this be the case “the situation could escalate rapidly out of control.”

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is cracking down on oil companies using the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing, better known as fracking, in ocean waters off the coast of Southern California.

No, the agency isn’t banning fracking or ordering a moratorium while it studies the effects of pumping large amounts of pressurized water, sand and toxic chemicals into the ground to reach oil otherwise inaccessible to drillers.

A new regulation published Thursday by the EPA merely requires the oil companies to self-report what they have only recently been discovered doing in sensitive waters where new drilling has been banned since a devastating 1969 oil spill near Santa Barbara. The changes are part of a new permit, effective March 1, for water pollution discharges from offshore oil and gas operations in federal waters off California

And your talking about what is happening in Japan. LOL.
