Japanese Nuclear Fallout Reportedly Reaches California
Fox News ^

Posted on 03/18/2011 7:04:09 AM PDT by frogjerk

VIENNA -- A diplomat with access to U.N tracking of Japan's radioactive fallout says it has reached Southern California but first readings are "about a billion times beneath levels that would be health threatening."

The diplomat was citing readings Friday from California-based measuring station of the Vienna-based CTBTO. He asked for anonymity because the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization does not make its data public.

Time to quarantine California...starting with running a fence around it...without any gates.

Curses. That dastardly radioactive cloud deliberately targeted Southern California...

Fallout? BS. Isn’t fallout explosion dirt and debris contaminated with radiation? That’s what I remember from my NBC courses.

So, this means that S. California just moved somewhere nearer to Colorado in the amount of radiation they are getting.

Someone should smash an old smoke detector upwind from this site, it would be like kicking an anthill I bet.

Crank up the radiation until the illegals leave.

Yes we are. When is the question?

Who really knows the truth about this stuff? The media has been fairly steady in reporting that there's nothing to worry about....here. That alone bothers me.

“about a billion times beneath levels that would be health threatening.”

Doesn’t pass the sniff test. The instrument would have to be able to detect an increase over background radiation equal to only about 1 / 100,000,000 of background. As far as I can figure.

Me, too. As an engineer who worked in hazardous locations, I had to learn that, too.

There was no nuclear detonation. There was no dirt involved. Hence, no fallout.

The entire media agenda is to use this Japanese incident to destroy the nuclear power industry.

That’s funny, I don’t feel any different.

Who better to get “exposed” to this than the panicky libtards of SoCal. All the better to crank up the anti-nuke rhetoric and panic.

And of course, it’s an “unnamed diplomat with access to the UN”. Yep, lots of “credibility” there.

People in Colorado already get far more radiation than S. Cali does, uranium in the hills causes this. Old smoke detectors used a sensor that contained a radioactive core. Break one apart and expose the inside of it and it shows up on a Geiger counter quite well.
