It gets depressing ya know?
I have ridden motorcycles around these beautiful lakes of ours. Camped under the stars until the winter winds blew. Its over 2000 KM's from Lake Ontario, up over Superior. You have no idea what cold is until you're looking at giant icebergs in the harbour near Marathon, and your cruising past on the sled. I even had the cops order me off the highway in a blizzard when I rode over in February one year..... And in 1 lifetime......so sad.

Fukushima fuel pool is urgent national security issue for America, 'top threat facing humanity'

Fukushima fuel pool is urgent national security issue for America, ‘top threat facing humanity’

May 7, 2012
After visiting Fukushima, Senator Ron Wyden warned that the situation was worse than reported, Washington’s Blog reports … and urged Japan to accept international help to stabilize dangerous spent fuel pools.

Wyden said that the spent fuel is a national security threat to the U.S.: “The radiation caused by the failure of the spent fuel pools in the event of another earthquake could reach the West Coast within days. That absolutely makes the safe containment and protection of this spent fuel a security issue for the United States.”

An international coalition of nuclear scientists and non-profit groups are calling on the U.N. to coordinate a multi-national effort to stabilize the fuel pools. If Fukushima Unit 4 falls, hazardous radioactive Cesium-137 release could be eight times worse than Chernobyl, warned Kevin Kamps, radioactive waste specialist at Beyond Nuclear.

Fuel pool number 4 is, indeed, the top short-term threat facing humanity, according to some experts.

Anti-nuclear physician Dr. Helen Caldicott says that if fuel pool 4 collapses, she will evacuate her family from Boston and move them to the Southern Hemisphere. This is an especially dramatic statement given that the West Coast is much more directly in the path of Fukushima radiation than the East Coast.

And on April 15, nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen said in a KGO radio interview (at 25:00): “There’s more cesium in that [Unit 4] fuel pool than in all 800 nuclear bombs exploded above ground…But of course it would happen all at once. It would certainly destroy Japan as a functioning country. Move south of the equator if that ever happened, I think that’s probably the lesson there.”

Yet Tepco’s current plans are to hold the majority of this spent fuel on-site for years in the same elevated, un-contained storage pools, only transferring some of the fuel into more secure, hardened dry casks when the common pool reaches capacity.

Wyden Discusses a Recent Onsite Tour of Fukushima, Japan & Recovery Efforts

Published on Apr 17, 2012 by SenRonWyden
April 17, 2012: Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon), appeared on MSNBC's The Daily Rundown to discuss a recent onsite tour of what remains of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facilities decimated by last year's earthquake and subsequent tsunami.

Wyden, a senior member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, sent a letter to Japanese Ambassador Ichiro Fujisaki looking for ways to advance and support clean-up and recovery efforts. Wyden's principal concern is the relocation of spent fuel rods currently being stored in unsound structures immediately adjacent to the ocean. He strongly urged the Ambassador to accept international help to prevent dangerous nuclear material from being released into the environment.

Got tuna?

LOS ANGELES — Across the vast Pacific, the mighty bluefin tuna carried radioactive contamination that leaked from Japan's crippled nuclear plant to the shores of the United States 6,000 miles away — the first time a huge migrating fish has been shown to carry radioactivity such a distance.

"We were frankly kind of startled," said Nicholas Fisher, one of the researchers reporting the findings online Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The levels of radioactive cesium were 10 times higher than the amount measured in tuna off the California coast in previous years. But even so, that's still far below safe-to-eat limits set by the U.S. and Japanese governments.

Just enough coverage if you look for it, mixed in with numerous other "snippets" of headlines so you probably would miss it:

Why are they startled. It's kinda' obvious. Haven't they been watching the news. How can they say they didn't know?
Oh, right. I forgot. This isn't really a newsworthy story. Just the continued irradiation of the entire Northern Hemisphere that's been going on for more than a year now, unabated. And uncovered by the MSM. Hidden so well the average Joe on the street can't even remember what Fukushima is.

Is that "safe-to-eat limit" the one they had before Fukushima happened, or the one afterwards. You know, the "new" higher "safe-to-eat" limit.

If you are not "Clif" yourself, you may want to ask the Almighty Clif to start a Church of Cliff.

You should also consider marrying him, seriously.

Greetings:

Too funny.

Just happened to be cruising ATS and saw your post pop up.

Thank you for your time, consideration and participation.

What are you talking about?

Yes, we admit that clif is a friend.

Certainly, you are not merely responding to the low hanging fruit at the beginning of this thread placed to divert the ... 'less-serious...'... are you serious, seriously?

Please read on and then come back and let's dance - if that's what you want.

However, it appears that you may be merely what you appear to be - another inane, insane troll with no spine and driving by...

We are merely trying to sound the alarm - and save lives - what are you doing?

Hey! It's pretty damn quiet here. It might be time to open a keg?

From a friend checking rads in Seattle on July 20th 012.
To me this looks just like waves of radiation coming in off the Pacific.
Like when you shake a bedspread out to make the bed.



And the storm that brought the spikes.

If this isn't proof of rads coming in.... I'll drink the whole keg by myself!

The best guesses we can come up with are a gamma burst or something to do with the wild fires in Oklahoma. These spikes are in the air, not rain. All we know for sure is they are not glitches.

So Good, Enjoy.
