It appears TEPCO and the Japanese central government have been grossly understating the amoun of radiation released and how far its traveled. http://www3.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/16_17.html http://www.nnistar.com/gmap/fukushima.html (site is in japanese) translation: http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nnistar.com%2Fgmap%2Ffukushima.html http://www.sciencemag.org/content/332/6036/1368.full (requires subscription)

They always do. Thats governments job.

Poor Japan... I feel so sorry for their troubles. As someone that lives in the Ring of Fire, I am hyper aware of how it could happen here, and if things are not done to stop it, it probably will.

Thre is a report, from the equivalent of the National Enquirer, of Japanese children near Fukushima reporting symptoms of radiation sickness. I tried to find a better source but couldn't so take it with a big grain of salt.

I have known about this for over a month. The way I understand it- is people age 50 and over will be fine. not that - it is any consolation. It is sad. Now there is a plant in Nebraska that is a no fly zone, flooded with a level 4 rating. --as of this week-- http://cryptome.org/eyeball/ne-npp-flood/ne-npp-flood.htm

That should be in the mainstream media, and the fact that it isn't is rather appalling http://www.businessinsider.com/faa-closes-airspace-over-flooded-nebraska-nuclear-power-plant-2011-6

Tho someone said that the gauges on the plane could be effected by this and the safety of the plane would be in question. ( a comment posted on one of the articles I read)

Airplanes get exposed to much higher amounts of radiation by simply flying high.

^ I cant find the comment now. The comment was plausible- the wording- tho maybe not 100% convincing. A nuclear spill in NE would be bad for the east coast. (well a serious event would be)

1) the plant has a level 4 alert (lowest category) 2) the plant has been shut down since April 3) the NOTAM is for altitudes below 3500 feet, not exactly heinous 4) there are high-tension distribution lines right there, and if the flood hits that stash o' equipment I think life could get downright exciting! 5) Wiener 6) Budget ceiling 7) new al-Quaeda leader

juliaoceania -> RE: Large areas of Japan are contaminated (6/16/2011 6:36:08 PM)
I think it is news, but that is just my opinion

pahunkboy -> RE: Large areas of Japan are contaminated (6/16/2011 7:09:55 PM)
Then they wonder why people are migrating to non mainstream news. HA!

tazzygirl -> RE: Large areas of Japan are contaminated (6/16/2011 7:11:01 PM)
http://hawaiinewsdaily.com/2011/06/nebraska-nuclear-plant-at-level-4-disaster/ CNN reported the fire at the plant on the 8th, the flooding occured, but most news stations were told it was temporary.

juliaoceania -> RE: Large areas of Japan are contaminated (6/16/2011 7:15:06 PM)
I judge the hotness of a news topic by how it is trending on the internet. I do not have cable television currently, so I would not have caught CNN newscast on it. It seems to be this should be at least as newsworthy as Weiner's crotch shots...

^ I am sick of that guy. Totally sick of hearing about him.

Ya know, Fark.com is a good source for news stories. Its not my only source, but Its got a good mix from all types of media.

I did not say that I agree with what the internet says is "newsworthy" but it is a rather good gauge as to what the cable news outlets will be talking about, and what people are paying attention to... not perfect though. I look through the top news stories on google just to see what is trending on there. I read news from all over the place.

And what would you propose we do to stop a Ring of Fire sort of disaster, Julia? You can only take the building codes up so far. I'd rather not live in a concrete and construction foam igloo, thanks. A friend and I had a great day once, getting lost on the roads and coastline of this part of Japan. It's a beautiful place. Anybody know the half life of the contamination?
