Oh goody, more news. I hadn't seen anything too scary in a while (I still check the nuke news about once every 3 days if something doesn't pop up into the headlines on it's own).

An international study has concluded that the release of radiation is twice what the J gov't estimated. The discrepancy probably lies in the fact that the J gov't only used monitor stations in Japan. 20 percent of the fallout was released over Japan, while the rest was dispersed over the ocean. 20 percent is still a hell of a lot for a country the size of Montana. One of 3 news sites that reported this said that puts emissions now at half of Chernobyl, but I haven't seen that statement anywhere else. The study also concluded that the spent fuel rods, I assume from the pool next to no 4 reactor, (stuff that should have been out of the picture dammit!) played a significant part in emissions, something the Japanese gov't has denied.

Also, and I saw this one coming: Owners of cars out of some of worst hit areas have been found to be re-registering the cars and selling them. One car was found to have as high as 110 microsieverts per hour, this is a huge number. Used Japanese cars often go to other parts of Asia to be sold, but they are being checked routinely now for radiation, so these owners sell them domestically instead.

If anybody wants me linking this stuff, I will, but I am not sure enough people are reading it to bother.

Okay, I've vented my radioactive cloud now, feel a little better..

I read it. Am interested. Thanks

We have nuc plants all over the U.S. and one near my Millville, NJ home town. I like to keep up on this stuff.

I read it, but not always comment.

You must be lying about all this...i mean, there is NO coverage of this in my paper or local news! If the press don't cover it, it's not happening. Right?? crazy (sorry...sarcasm at it's worst)

Man oh man, reading it sounds scary. Hope that you and your family are safe and don't get sick from the exposure.

An interesting result from the Tsunami is the debris that will be coming our way for 15-20 years, propane tanks, refrigerators etc, and making things like boating, surfing etc risky for the west coast and Hawaii.

Yep we been getting their trash for centuries. In fact we get trash from India, China and Taiwan as well.

Normally the north and east shores are the dump sites during winter months. Sometimes but kinda rare you can find something thats cool, otherwise its just trash.
