Title: Have You Heard About Fukushima?
Post by: Comedentis of the Fructum on May 12, 2012, 10:08:40 AM
Right now, as I write this and you read it, we are being showered with harmful amounts of radiation from Japan. Some experts even say we may face a mass extinction event of human, and other land/air animal organisms. I for one am quite scared of the idea, and am thinking of bulging a giant lead castle to save myself and my cats.

If you'd done an elementary scan of this page, you'd see we'd actually discussed Fukushima quite recently.

You'd also probably find that people outside of Japan are not being showered with harmful amounts of radiation and that humanity is facing a "mass-extinction event", though Honshu certainly could be.

This seems highly likely.

Sigh.

I kind of want to respond with "NO, I'VE NEVER HEARD OF FUKUSHIMA BECAUSE I TOTALLY LIVE UNDER A ROCK, AND IN FACT THIS WHOLE BOARD IS JUST A SUPPORT GROUP FOR ISOLATED SHUT-INS WHO HAVE NO ACCESS TO INFORMATION ABOUT SIGNIFICANT WORLD EVENTS WHATSOEVER".

I'm not certain of the impact of Fukushima.  I know that it will be horrible.  It may be the worst accident in the history of Science IMHO.  I don't know why this apparent troll decided to post, but I'm sure that the consequences of Fukushima will be long-term and game changing.  There was mention of a previous discussion here on he forum.  Please tell me where so I can read it.

Chernobyl was different in terms of scope and consequence.
They've had 26 years to total up the damage.

Here's the WIKI on Fukushima for comparison. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disaster)

They are both "Level 7" events, but let's take a look at the figures.

Chernobyl had 1 reactor breach.
Fukushima has 3 full meltdowns in progress and a fuel pool at #4 that is in danger of exposure and subsequent unquenchable fire as well.

Both have resulted in explosions on-site and horribly toxic plumes of radioactive waste.

The Japanese don't have half a million Soviet heroes to throw at the problem.  The cores at fukushima are so hot thermally and radiologically that robots have failed to operate.

Chernobyl was built far inland in an area where digging under the reactor was feasible as a step in the containment process.
Fukushima is on a coastline in a geologically unstable island chain.

The events are still on-going, but I suspect that the bad news @ Fukushima is still building. 

I'm not an expert. Even the things I think I know are only useful to me as a result.  I have no place trying to convince people that I have the facts.

Only because Fukushima's fallout probably ended up in the ocean (which is also bad, but there's no people there).

I was 6 years old when Chernobyl happened, I vaguely remember we shouldn't eat certain vegetables or drink cow's milk for a while (weeks?) and wild mushrooms were discouraged for at least 5-10 years afterwards (because the mycelium is mostly on the surface they grow on and therefore absorbs a lot of radioactive dust).

I wouldn't have a problem saying Fukushima is at least on the same order of magnitude. But it's a bit more that, for some reason, we won't realize the full extent of contamination until a few years.

And some reason is of course that the Powers That Be have gotten a lot better in controlling/using mass-media communication than they did in 1986.

Post by: East Coast Hustle on June 22, 2012, 06:29:02 PM
There's also the part where Chernobyl released 10 times as much radioactive material into the atmosphere as Fukushima did. It's easy for people who were very young or not alive in 1986 to not realize the scope of that catastrophe, but unless there are further criticality events at Fukushima I don't see any possible way that it even comes close to Chernobyl.

Not to force the point, however, Chernobyl was before we figured out how to sell options on guilt.  Now, we excuse the production of weapons grade plutonium because it can be "recycled" into fast reactor (or thermal with the right permits) fuel.  Plutonium is actually quite a bit more problematic for humans than say cesium, or even uranium.  If reactor 4 breached, we would have a problem that we don't yet fully understand given how studies on the effects of plutonium usually involve scenarios where the isotopes have been subject to thermonuclear reaction, instead of simple atmospheric dispersion.   Reactors should not be allowed to run on plutonium?

Chernobyl did not use MOX, Fukushima did.  Therefore, it is still too early to draw a comparison, I think.

It appears that I did not really use a lot of thought writing that previous post yesterday at 4am. In other circumstances I would probably have wiki'd some more details about either one.

I thought the thing with Fukushima was that it's going to keep on getting worse for a while first--but it's 4am again (really WTF, TIME?) so don't mind me. Fuck it's even hard enough to write a coherent post about that you guys shouldn't pay attention to these incoherent posts

Do you know that Fukushima probably isn't dangerous because nuclear power isn't dangerous because thorium fusion nuclear power isn't dangerous, even though that hasn't really been developed yet and Fukushima isn't thorium-driven. But anyways, nuclear power isn't that dangerous really.

At least that's what the nuclear power advocates I know say.

SRLSLY, it isn't dangerous at all, it's just, like, don't worry. It'll sort itself out after a while (that's probably true, though. A few thousand years only).

Let me clarify.  Thorium fusion has not been invented because that makes no sense...

Thorium is not suitable for fusion.

Thorium can be used in MOX

Fukushima was MOX driven

Therefore?

The bottom line right now is that we actually don't know the scope of the Fukushima disaster, and probably will not know for years.

I know that the West coast of the US has experienced elevated radiation levels from Fukushima for several months. That data is not officially available anywhere, and that in combination is not a very good sign.

The general direction of the prevailing surface-level winds would make that more of a concern if you lived in Korea or eastern Russia. I have no idea if the radioactive particles released would make it high enough into the atmopshere to catch the polar jet stream, which would be of some concern (particularly for those of us who live in Oregon). It's my understanding that the really dangerous isotopes are too heavy to be carried across the Pacific by the ocean currents very effectively which also makes me think that they would be unlikely to make it all the way up to the polar jet stream, though I'm certainly no scientist and could be misinformed about that.

That said, I'm not buying tuna from Japan or the western Pacific anytime soon.

Thinking about it more, the evidence from Chernobyl seems to bear that out, as the fallout was spread west and north by surface-level winds and NOT east by the jet stream.

Post by: East Coast Hustle on June 25, 2012, 02:34:40 AM
I'm open to any scientific evidence that it could make it across the Pacific in the atmosphere, but until then it seems highly doubtful for the reasons I posted. Surface winds tend to blow southeast to northwest across that part of Japan. And given how frequent the storms in the Pacific are, it seems likely that rain would flush it out before it reached the west coast even if the prevailing winds turned around long enough to theoretically carry it that far. I'm pretty sure that I'm exposed to more radiation due to how frequently I fly in a year than I would be in a lifetime of Fukushima.

Of course, my opinion is strictly based on what we know NOW about the disaster and not on any possible future further worsening of the problem. And like I said, I could be wrong, but for now I'm not buying in to the fear.

I just learned that if you lived in my hometown between 1950 and 1970 and you contract any kind of cancer during your lifetime, there is some government program that will cause Uncle Sam to write you a check for between $50,000 and $100,000 just for proving you lived there during those years.

All I know is that UC Davis and, allegedly,  the EPA (which, oddly, I can't find official records of online even though they have a website specifically for that data) measured significantly elevated radiation levels (about five times normal) on the California coast in February, and that there is no official government data publicly available at this time, despite the supposed-to-be-publicly-available quarterly milk, rainwater, drinking water, and atmospheric readings done routinely by the EPA. It is unusual.

I didn't look up every single isotope in every single medium, but even though there were upticks in certain isotopes a few months after Fukushima (Cesium-137 in precipitation, for example), the levels aren't anywhere near high enough to be alarming. I'm assuming that the EPA is publishing accurate data, otherwise the conversation descends into CT territory and there's no point in having it.

I work with the EPA fairly regularly.  I've never known them to tolerate a cover up.  Note that this is NOT saying that such cover ups cannot happen, just that I have never seen any evidence of it.

I also now assume that the "stay indoors from X to Y time" warnings during Chernobyl was a bunch of shit, given the wind information supplied by ECH.  Given that it took place during the Reagan years, I am now amazed that I never questioned it before.

Depends. If you were stationed in Germany, those warnings would have had some merit at the time. And again, I'm only speculating that the heavy isotopes would be unlikely to make it up into the jet stream in substantial concentrations, that doesn't mean I might not be wrong. But if you were in the states and they told you to stay indoors, even if there WAS some scientific rationale for it, I can't imagine how it would have been confined to a particular time of day.

Why are you focused on winds? It's in the water, both rain and seawater.

The heavier isotopes are extremely unlikely to make it from Japan to Oregon in a concentration that concerns me via water-borne delivery. And the prevailing wind patterns ARE the prevailing rain patterns.

It is also worth considering the effects of bio accumulation.  Reactors are not going to stop leeching radioactive waste into the ecosystem for quite some time.  The particles are often chemical mimics of other elements. IIRC plutonium is an iron mimic for example.  They can be carried by almost any life form, and the higher up the chain a life form is the greater the concentration becomes over time.  It is a vector that takes longer to spread, but it is not readily detected as the creature must often be chemically processed to release the radioactive particles. 

It's seems a little too morbid and pointless to me to try to prove which disaster is worse, but whatever the truth is the problem from both reactors will persist for generations.  Even the "coffin" that the Chernobyl reactor is encased in is only a temporary measure.  The radioactive material inside of it is infinitely patient and will steadily burn through it.  The cost of building it was immense in terms of material expense and lives.  We NEED at least 3 more similar efforts in Japan, and after that we will have bought time to figure out the riddle of how to move something you cannot get close enough to touch.

Then we need to hope or pray or whatever that the other containment on the hundreds of other reactors world wide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_reactors) remains perfect in function.  Of course this is impossible, entropy being what it is.

Welcome to Earth!
We have a bit of a dilemma here.

It's not the tech that causes it, it's the addiction of our species to the Easy Fix.  It's the mentality that guides our use of what we learn.  I really think it's that WE, the species, are the dilemma.  Do you do the easy thing that will most likely do for now, or do you do the much more difficult and demanding thing that just might be better in the long run?

This youtube link here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x42qi7Fz1L0&feature=g-vrec) is an interesting and maddening look at the mentality of the pro nuclear.  The links in the description lead to more of the same.  This just happened to be at the top of the YT list for my recommended viewing when I ducked out of here for a few minutes after the last post.  I'm going to listen to the whole speech before I crash tonight and read the articles over the next few days, but at a glance it seems like it'll be a bunch of shit-diving.  If I find any real pearls I'll post them here.

Fukushima: Just How Dangerous Is Radiation?  (http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/6931)
Quote
Even more irony comes from the land of liberals, California — home to Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and Governor Jerry Brown — where many residents are fearful of the effects of radioactive particles carried on the winds from Japan. UConn physics professor emeritus Howard Hayden points out in his newsletter, The Energy Advocate, that the joke is on the Californians who are now gobbling down potassium iodine pills to saturate their thyroids in an attempt to block an accumulation of radioactive iodine. The "K" in KI pills is potassium, a small percentage of which is radioactive Potassium 40. In an attempt to avoid barely detectable amounts of Iodine 131, they are ingesting easily measurable amounts of bone-seeking Potassium 40. Actually this radiation won't bother them either, although the pills are not gentle on the digestive system and give the same symptoms — nausea and cramping — as does real radiation sickness, which has afflicted no one in Japan, let alone thousands of miles away in the United States.

Note that this was back before the scale of the disaster was officially admitted to be level 7.  When Chernobyl went all, well, Chernobyl the Russian government did nothing to inform the citizens and world at first.  The more things change the more they stay the same.  If you read the article do note the number of assumptions the author is making to produce his quite accurate comparative math.

I'm guessing it's just garden-variety DERP.

This seems highly likely.

Sigh.

I kind of want to respond with "NO, I'VE NEVER HEARD OF FUKUSHIMA BECAUSE I TOTALLY LIVE UNDER A ROCK, AND IN FACT THIS WHOLE BOARD IS JUST A SUPPORT GROUP FOR ISOLATED SHUT-INS WHO HAVE NO ACCESS TO INFORMATION ABOUT SIGNIFICANT WORLD EVENTS WHATSOEVER".

I'm open to any scientific evidence that it could make it across the Pacific in the atmosphere, but until then it seems highly doubtful for the reasons I posted. Surface winds tend to blow southeast to northwest across that part of Japan. And given how frequent the storms in the Pacific are, it seems likely that rain would flush it out before it reached the west coast even if the prevailing winds turned around long enough to theoretically carry it that far. I'm pretty sure that I'm exposed to more radiation due to how frequently I fly in a year than I would be in a lifetime of Fukushima.

Of course, my opinion is strictly based on what we know NOW about the disaster and not on any possible future further worsening of the problem. And like I said, I could be wrong, but for now I'm not buying in to the fear.

All I know is that UC Davis and, allegedly,  the EPA (which, oddly, I can't find official records of online even though they have a website specifically for that data) measured significantly elevated radiation levels (about five times normal) on the California coast in February, and that there is no official government data publicly available at this time, despite the supposed-to-be-publicly-available quarterly milk, rainwater, drinking water, and atmospheric readings done routinely by the EPA. It is unusual.

YaY?
recall now My '96 race for US senate from this state.
Because i was weLL aware at that time | if it was i
iT would be more Maids4 Prome Time Tv.
So?instead of running My campaign against the 1
US Senator {from this State) I ran against Both
of them! i did this by taking a photo copy of A
LegaL document? the government had requested
that i provide them about LegaL documents i
provided FOR THEM.  one to each office.
As both had offices in town. I wote a note
"to my self" on the back of each.
Each day for a week i would return to the
enators offices and update my note to
myself for i did assume it was beyound this
OR any government to deal with this
siruation. For your information they BOTH
Resigned. I did attend the swearing in event
held at psu of the replacement? and was
ordered out of the area. i was not allowed
to even be around .  So Shirley i have CON
TEMpT , AND PLENTY of it.

Hopefully the long lasting nuclear radiation won't cause tentacle monsters to rise from the deep and ravage our women.

The whole thing seems so long ago.

Thousands and thousands of future leukemia patients find your humor to be fucking hilarious.

I sure hope so, because i dont find it funny.

I send my best wishes to them.

going on with this debait anyway
thus i found myself Yesterday waiting to buy cherries in the park
diagonally across the street from the MARK, it was a long wait
as the place is rather crowded and i was there with my Senior
discount $ .. Eventually things began to settle down {about 1o Min
and the gal ask me ? i said $6 / Cherries | handed her A$2bill
& a ?"Voucher"? as i was doing this THOSE who are moving in
to take over were over on the far side, were taking free samples as
fast as their greedy little paws could pick and poke.
so Shirley i have contempt! How Much do you suggest they  R
worth? By the minute?/? 1? 5? 10? 25? 50? 100? 1K
i mean reaLLy: just HOW Much

i was opposed to the State Republicans Who in the 90's Sent the
Timbers from this state there, to prop them UP? only to have those
same resources returned to the beaches HERE in their altered form

NO to me it is time for the HARD LINE. Japan, { i mean all 6000 islands
are not worth 1 US dime. got it NOT 1. _________________________

One good factor about japan so far after this catastrophic event is that they are making the best games as of late in ages in order to fill up their coffers.

But they are not localized to the US and Europe.   :sad:

Here is my Guess about what took place PRIOR to
the Maid 4 Prime Time Tv Explosion . Realizing 8.9 would B9 an order
was handed down to create the Maid4P . Their4 what WAS reported
as an /-/ was really not. H explosions rise Quickly in the air and R
not Black or even dark gray, with rising slowly features .
(this is my guess & of course i have no proof
as far as the fall out on SW Salmon st between Park & 10th
yes there R fish odors, not everY day, but more often then normal
Got an excuse from the DA for temporarily obstructed to not park signs around when ties that require French attire per formal dinner?...

Hirley0 I'm doing my best to understand your posts, and follow some of the hidden links.
There's definitely some logical coherency to it all, but it's a lot to take in.
I too am familiar with the msmilkytheclown information. Times look to be going toward doomday. Just a bit.

Here's a video update from Gundersen: http://www.fairewinds.com/content/it-could-have-been-worse (http://www.fairewinds.com/content/it-could-have-been-worse)
Here's a link to their copy of the the Team H2O Project Report: http://www.fairewinds.com/content/team-h2o-project-report (http://www.fairewinds.com/content/team-h2o-project-report)

Hopefully you and the others will find the info useful.
