How long do you think a fish is gonna live with radiation burns? I heard that a single coho salmon has been found with an elevated level of radiation.
[ Radiation at Japan’s Fukushima Reactor Is Now at ‘Unimaginable’ Levels ]
Gee, that was hard to predict. /s
I guess eat the wild caught salmon while you still can. Sad.
I had no idea how bad it was. Due to your post, I looked it up. Just horrible how miserable those sailors were. They were denied entry anywhere for 2 1/2 months. So many sick and dying.
I thought they reinforced it recently?
Hiroshima today:
Release the Krakhead.
ROFLMAO
The Krakhead is the worst!!!
Tepco has the main us tmi cleanup guy on it now.
At least stank boy had a bath, of sorts.
;)
It’s a triple meltDOWN. Throwing a concrete blanket over it won’t help stop hot liquid radioactive sludge from oozing/burning thru dirt and seeping into the ocean to the tune of 300 tons of radioactive water per day.

One part of the American economy that Trump has not paid much attention to so far is the energy industry.
We have the knowledge and the people (many have been at home for months without a job) to fully develop our oil and gas industry and make the USA fully energy independent. All that Trump has to do is to give the go ahead and there will be a sea of well-paying jobs for years to come. The sale of oil and gas on the world market can provide the funds to pay for the energy independence program. Required projects will entail: new refineries, expansion of existing refineries, cross-country. liquid and gas pipelines, product shipping terminals on either coast, LNG facilities, LNG tankers, etc., offshore liquids and gas gathering facilities. If we still have an infrastructure program we shall need numerous bitumen plants to support the road building program with asphalt. With our oil and gas wealth we shall not need nuclear energy plants.

That’s what came to mind upon seeing the deep one frolicking in the water.
I wonder if the flies just wait on the beach?

A non-sensical measure? How much radiation is that? How far about background radiation?
1 m Sievert = 1 pCi (but that is conflating dose in a human with radiation levels, so it is not precise.)
http://people.uwec.edu/jolhm/EH/Rosenhoeft/index5.htm
Background radiation in the Oceans is about 330 pCi/Liter.
http://www.physics.isu.edu/radinf/natural.htm
Ocean water is naturally radioactive, as is the ground, as is the air. What we would like to know, is how much more radioactive is the water that is going into the Pacific from the damaged nuclear plants, than the natural background level.
That is the critical measure that we are not being told.
If it a trillion times as radioactive, it might be a problem. Currently, they say 300 tons of the water is going into the ocean every day. That is about 300 cubic meters of water. The Pacific has a volume of about 6.549 x 1017 m3 cubic meters of water. To double the background radiation in the Pacific, if the water going in were a trillion times as radioactive, as ocean water, it would take six years of that output.
We do not see anywhere near that level of radioactivity rise in the oceans, so the water going in must be much, much less radioactive than a trillion times as much as the natural background.
How much is it above background levels? Double? Triple? A million times? A billion times? At even a billion times, it would raise the background level only .01 percent in six years.
The numbers are important.
Math done quickly, but I think the numbers are close.
The particular radioactive isotopes and their half lives are likely far more important.
The flies need a vacation from him at times too.
