So it's here...but my teevee says I'm supposed to watch over there(Libya).
 
VIENNA (AP) -- A diplomat says Japan's radioactive fallout has reached Southern California but first readings are "about a billion times beneath levels that would be health threatening."

The state will be getting a dousing for the next few days, I'm in northern, but it does reach to LA.

I think what's bothering me the most at this point is that no one is releasing the radiation levels, here or there...if they were nothing to worry about - they would release them. Actually they would be shouting them from the rooftops.

Question? On one hand I hear radiation is a cumulative effect unless you're right there like the Japanese workers are - in my opinion they are sacrificing themselves.

On the other hand, if California is getting radiation, in whatever amounts, and it keeps on coming, won't it accumulate, in the water, in the soil, maybe in the body?

Exactly. I'm ASSUMING it will accumulate. Maybe someone here knows for sure.

And they're not even close to stopping it. MOO.

O/T: It seems like we lost all our members on the thread to Billie.
 

Here's a quote I found interesting from the above link:

"Initial readings are "about a billion times beneath levels that would be health threatening," the diplomat told The Associated Press. He asked for anonymity because the CTBO does not make its findings public.

U.S. government experts also insist there's no threat to public health from the plume.


There never is any danger, is there. Believe me, I can't say there is, I can't say there isn't, I'm no expert, but I find the anonymous diplomat a rather interesting spokesperson.
 
Japan raises accident severity level to 5 in nuclear crisis
TOKYO, March 18 - (Kyodo)
Japan raised the severity level of crisis-hit reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to 5 on an international scale of 7, the same level as the Three Mile Island accident in the United States in 1979, Japan's nuclear safety agency said Friday.

Billie?
 
Trident, the Hailey Dunn case, her mom Billie was arrested last night. Not charges about Hailey though.
 
:(

<Hidehiko Nishiyama of Japan's nuclear safety agency said the rating was raised when officials realized that at least 3 percent of the fuel in three of the reactors at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant had been severely damaged, suggesting those reactor cores have partially melted down and thrown radioactivity into the environment.>

IMO, it's way past 5...

But, unfortunately, we can't confirm the amount released because it's been "low", "high", "extremely high" and "not threatening to humans".

Go figure?

Yep, the spin went on, like a bloom'in top - and the beat goes on.
 
1. On the Today show this morning, they spoke of a plan to dump soil & sand on the rods, in effect burying them. But haven't we been told that it's dangerous to let the radiation into the ground, as it could then enter the water table??

2. They've been spraying water onto the reactors, now they're laying/connecting power lines. Wouldn't that make for a 'shocking experience'?
