Worst Case Scenario in Japan?

[amicus]

Since asshole FOX news is re-running O'Reilly, I have to trust left wing CNN to deliver the news....the remaining fifty or so still fighting fires in the reactor confinement areas have been forced to leave because of increasing and lethal radiation.

With no cooling procedures in effect, a total meltdown is said to be inevitable and tremendous amounts of radioactive material will be put into the atmosphere.

Yeah, I know, 5,000 miles away from mainland USA, but the prevailing winds will bring it to North America in about a week. This ain't very sexy, but fuck you anyways.

Sorry Amicus, not much to say on my part. I've been following the situation closely because I have a friend who lives in Tokyo.

CNN left wing Ami? try Al Jazeera or the BBC, then CNN will seem ok.

You're in a panic about some marginal radiation impacting our shores when Sarah Palin can see Vladimir Putin rearing his bald head?............My, my.....quite the drama queen now, aren't we?

Apparently a huge number of Americans, especially on the Left Coast, are buying up Iodide tablets faster than stores can stock them...or don't you keep abreast of the news either?

Bullshit. Most Americans aren't really keyed into it happening at all. They are just tooling along with their lives.

Yet another "factoid" you've made up, I assume.

One could search even if you are not aware of current events.

[sr71plt]

Again, bullshit. I live near the one cited location, and have been out and about all day. No one's panicked, and I venture I could wade through a whole crowd of folks and not find anyone who even knew what an Iodine tablet was, let alone what they might need one for.

You're such a chicken little smuck. Your impotence is amusing--to be reduced to posting your political crap on a porn board.

Are all homosexual submissive men as bitchy as you are? I ask that sincerely as I have never been around Gays of any kind.

I don't know. I'll have to ask the next one I see. Why, were you looking for one? I'm not sure I can find one that you'd be interested in--one who looked like your granddaughter and would be willing to sit on your lap.

I may be wrong but my history tells me there have only been three major nuclear crises, Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and now Fukishama.

The first you could compare with Aeroflot- sub-standard equipment, badly managed and maintained. Three Mile was a factor of early errors in technology which are extremely unlikely to cause future problems.

In Japan, the question is how much research was done before building a reactor above tectonic plates and was a tsunam effect factored in.

These 3 incidents are integral and the only issues that group them are the competence of the management.

Sorry, Amicus, all those Iodide tablets the rest of us bought for you under your Medicare privileges even though you are a self-proclaimed tax deadbeat are going to go to waste--as is this round of your Chicken Little prognostications.

From "The Register":-

The story of the quake- and tsunami-stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant continues to unfold, with reports suggesting that the situation with respect to the three damaged reactors at the plant may soon be stabilised without serious consequences. The focus of attention has now moved to problems at a pool used to keep spent fuel rods cool. There remain no indications that anyone has yet suffered any radiation health effects, and the prospect is growing that this will remain the case.

There are hundreds of cases of radiation poisoning in Japan with more appearing every day. Most recent, American Airline pilots are considering refusing to fly over Japan as radioactive material is being detected on aircraft and passengers returning from Japan. The US military has forbidden any incursions within 50 miles of the six damaged reactors.

Your information is totally wrong.

And your information is all lies and shows how little you know on the subject of radiation and radioactive particles.

 

[amicus]

It is being reported this morning that a radioactive Plume has been detected by satellite surveillance and is already affecting the American West Coast....you were saying...?

Amicus Veritas

that initial readings show tiny amounts of radiation have reached California. But it's not dangerous in any way — "about a billion times beneath levels that would be health threatening,"

Hey, Blackbird...give ami a break.

The radiation from Japan that's reaching the US is one billionth the level that can harm us mere humans.

So ami is...one billionth correct. For him, that's doing well.

Oh Dear.
Bearing in mind that the news media (left or right to your choice) prefer something scary and/or doom laden to report it would be interesting to see the source of this fallacy (or the report that inspired the pilots to avoid an area). Much of the radiation (as far as I could see in the reports I read) is of short-lived isotopes.

What gets over to the west coast USA is hardly likely to be as dodgy as a Chernobyl or Hiroshima, is it.
There's folks living a few miles away from Fukushima.

Don't foment panic where there is none, Ami, please.

Jeez, Dude, change the channel or your gender, the drama queen is quite obvious! I live on the Left Coast and there are Potassium Iodide tablets aplenty if you need them.....(none of us do but then we are the most educated folks in the country....nuff said)
Stay in your bunker and keep loading ammo for when the radioactive zombies attack......

Forgive me, but from what I have read, Fukushima is NOT a nuclear crisis in the same manner as Chernobyl or Three-mile Island.

When the first shake occurred at Fukushima, all the control rods dropped on all reactors immediately turned the reactor OFF.
A great deal of research was done in Japan in considering these reactors, as demonstrated by the actual radiation (type and volume) compared with potential radiation.

As I understand it, the whole of Japan is on these plates !

So far no one has blamed General Electric who provided the designs all those years ago.

Who designed the electrical hook up for the pumps? Back up generators should have had the right plugs to fit, right?

If the generators they flew in would have worked, this would all be over but the law suits.
