Thread: WHY IS'NT MSM REPORTING ON THE escalating DANGERS of Radiation, UPDATED

Reuters: “Unsafe levels of radiation” were released during WIPP accident; More workers contaminated with plutonium — AP: Leak of radioactive material could’ve been “orders of magnitude larger”; Feds now testing air & soil 50 miles from site (AUDIO)

Reuters, Mar. 27, 2014: An investigative team plans to re-enter an underground nuclear waste site in New Mexico next week for the first time since an accidental release of unsafe levels of radiation there last month, a U.S. Energy Department official said [...] U.S. authorities now say that 21 workers at the Carlsbad-area “waste isolation pilot project” (WIPP) were exposed to radiation after the accidental leak from the site [...] Testing of surface air in and around the Energy Department complex has shown elevated levels of radiation since the mishap [...] That brings to 21 the number of workers who inhaled or ingested particles emitted from the decay of radioisotopes like plutonium [...]
AP, Mar. 28, 2014: [...] the DOE said it will expand its environmental monitoring to 10 more stations that will test air, soil and vegetation around Hobbs [50 miles from WIPP], Artesia [50 miles from WIPP], Loving [20 miles from WIPP], Eunice [40 miles from WIPP] and other nearby communities. To date, samples taken around Carlsbad have shown only radiation levels well below those deemed unsafe. [...] Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board Chairman Peter Winokur said that for six days after the fire, no underground air monitors were operational, meaning that if the system failed when the leak occurred Feb. 14, “or if the release event had occurred three days earlier, the release of radioactive material from the aboveground mine exhaust would have been orders of magnitude larger.”
Big 2 News, Mar. 28, 2014: New developments in the radiation leak at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant [...] A total number of 21 employees are thought to have been exposed to the radiation leak. Lawmakers are now raising questions about required safety inspections that were not performed at the plant prior to the leak. [...]
Carlsbad Current-Argus, Mar. 27, 2014: [...] New Mexico’s senators want answers about why legally required inspections for WIPP weren’t performed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. NM senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich sent a letter to Labor Secretary Thomas Perez Thursday asking for a written report on why MSHA hadn’t performed the legally required inspections at WIPP. The information about missed safety inspections was revealed in the Department of Energy’s accident report on the Feb. 5 fire at WIPP. By law, MSHA is required to inspect WIPP four times a year. The accident report said the inspections had been performed twice in the last three years. “The health and safety of the workers at WIPP and the surrounding community are our top priorities and it is extremely concerning to learn that a fire in the mining portion of WIPP was a preventable circumstance,” Udall and Heinrich wrote in the letter.

Radiation Expert: California Fukushima Exposure being Covered up - Kevin Kamps

NextNewsNetwork·2,402 videos



Published on Mar 27, 2014
A radioactive waste specialist, Kevin Kamps, says the condition of the high-level radioactive waste storage pools at the Fukushima-Daiichi reactors remain dangerous. Another big earthquake could prompt a sudden drain-down of the Unit 4 high-level radioactive waste storage pool.

Kamps also says few lessons from Fukushima have been learned in the U.S. One of the most important being that high density U.S. pools should be emptied into hardened on-site storage as soon as possible. This being before the worst could happen whether due to an earthquake or a potential terrorist attack.

Scientists say that very low levels of radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster are now about to reach ocean waters along the US West Coast next month. But it will not be at levels dangerous to humans or wildlife. They are calling for more monitoring as no federal agency currently sample Pacific Coast seawater for radiation.They say unless we have results, how do we know it's safe? It's been three years since the Fukushima disaster and thousands in Japan have called on the government to rid themselves of all their nuclear power, for good.

Kamps said: "The condition of the high-level radioactive waste storage pools at the Fukushima-Daiichi reactors remains perilous. Another big earthquake could prompt a sudden drain-down of the Unit 4 high-level radioactive waste storage pool. The Unit 3 pool may be in even worse shape. ... Few lessons from Fukushima have been learned in the U.S. One of the most important should be that high density U.S. pools are emptied into hardened on-site storage as soon as possible, before the worst happens, whether due to natural disaster or terrorist attack."

Gundersen: This video “confirms our worst fears” — Scientist: Reactor core materials found almost 500 km from Fukushima plant — 40,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bq/kg — Can travel very, very significant distances — Hot particles found in 25% of samples from Tokyo and Fukushima (VIDEO)

Fairewinds Energy Education, Apr. 3, 2014:

• At 0:45 in – Arnie Gundersen, Chief Engineer at Fairewinds Energy Education: If Fairewinds Energy Education was a Japanese website, the State Secrets Law would likely prevent us from issuing this video.
• At 1:15 in — Marco Kaltofen, Civil Engineer & Ph.D. Candidate at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI): In looking at indoor environments, they tend to be much more contaminated than the surroundings outside. Houses act like a trap and they tend to collect outdoor contaminants and they expose people as much as 24 hours a day.
• At 9:15 in – Kaltofen: The sample that we got came from Nagoya in Japan, its 460 kilometers from the accident site. That’s about 300 miles away.
• At 9:30 in — Kaltofen: It’s actually in the size range of dusts that can be inhaled and then retained in the lungs. This is important because if your health physicist and calculating and you’re calculating the dose that you would get from this particle you’d have to consider that this particle might actually be trapped and result in a lifetime exposure.
• At 10:00 in – Kaltofen: The particle we examined was a mixture of fission products from a nuclear reactor and nuclear fuels. We looked at materials like tellurium, radium-226, we saw cesium-134, and -137, cobalt-60, and a whole zoo of isotopes that probably you’ll never hear about on CNN […] 80% by weight of this particle was made up of pure reactor core materials. That tells me that something that came directly from the accident, directly from the core can escape containment and travel a very, very significant distance. So it’s a long distance to travel and what happens is the particle is so very small that it will essentially travel with whatever gas it’s entrained in. The winds will blow it long distances.
• At 12:00 in – Kaltofen: This material was in the peta-becquerel per kilogram range [...] 4 followed by 19 zeroes — that many Bq/kg. That’s a very, very high number. [...] It is a tiny particle [...] about 310 becquerels for the particle.
• At 14:00 in – Kaltofen: If you look at the black dust – and we’ve received samples of that from Namie and Iitate, and a couple of other communities in northern Japan, this is very similar to the black sand that people see. The black sand – and this particle, too – it’s an aggregate, it’s a mixture. If you think of a hunk of concrete, it’s actually a mix of sand and cement and small stones, that’s what it looks like under the microscope.
• At 15:45 in – Kaltofen: For our Japanese samples from Fukushima Prefecture and from Tokyo, about 25% of those samples contained at least a few measurable hot particles.
• At 16:15 in – Kaltofen: This data [was put] before a peer review panel at WPI.
• At 16:45 in – Gundersen: It is solid scientific material like this that you will not see or hear via traditional news stories, Tokyo Electric, or the IAEA. Fairewinds has long said that there will be significant increases in cancer in Japan as a result of the Fukushima Daiichi accident — and this video describing just one hot particle, confirms our worst fears.

Kathyet, they are not even testing, they do not want to know how bad the radiation is building up on the coast and then we have the propagandists saying all is well go back to sleep alittle radiation never hurt anyone....it is everyone for themselves, it is up to us to NOT be sheeple and protect ourselves and our families! Better safe than sorry and there is going to be alot of sorry when all kinds of cancer starts showing up in a few years...of course they will be blamed on something other than radiation .....and the band plays on.....

I know they know but there is nothing they can do at this point and I don't think they they care, it falls inline with the elitists theory of "population reduction" ....Your right everyone for themselves..

I don't think they they care, it falls inline with the elitists theory of "population reduction"

I totally agree.

MIT Professor & US Experts: Japan “must act now to seal Fukushima reactors, before it’s too late” — Concern US to be affected by “explosions – a chain reaction, engulfing reactors one to four” — “Situation is dynamically degrading and unstable” — Aircraft can likely entomb plant in 6 months

• Headline: Abe must act now to seal Fukushima reactors, before it’s too late
• Dear Prime Minister Abe, the Fukushima crisis is getting worse.
• The key assumption [...] is that you still have a safe window of time, at least two or three more years, and possibly longer, to deal with Fukushima’s four damaged nuclear reactors
• What if this assessment is unrealistically optimistic? What if the safe window of time is less than a year? What if the very concept of a safe window is inappropriate for Fukushima? The fact is, we really don’t know what might happen.
• According to [Tepco's] published engineering reports, the most severely damaged reactors are only secure to the level of a magnitude 7.9 earthquake.
• The crucial question is: how secure is the facility against any number of dark scenarios?
• There is a high probability that, if a quake of magnitude 7.9 or above, or some other serious event, strikes Fukushima, a “criticality” will occur.
• The least dangerous would be the local release of strontium-90, caesium 134/137, or nano-plutonium.
• Far more dangerous would be an explosion, or a series of explosions – a chain reaction, engulfing reactors one to four – that would spew this contamination over much broader areas of helpless populations. The next criticality may be far more serious [...]
• The jet stream will transport airborne contamination to the U.S. and other parts of world
• Fukushima may be far more dangerous [than Chernobyl] because the risks are continuing, and the situation is dynamically degrading and unstable.
• The formidable problems of access to reactors one to three make accurate assessment of the true extent of the damage, hence the level of risk and vulnerability, extremely challenging.
• We urge that you commission a 30-day independent assessment by a multidisciplinary international team of experts on the feasibility of entombment of reactors one to four, addressing the following specific scenario among others: Use helicopters mounted with telescopic nozzles, and, after reinforcing the spent fuel pool in the target reactor, spray it with special lighter-than-water concrete, dissolved in water solution; let the pool harden, along with the remainder of the facility, which is also sprayed until it becomes impervious to radiation or explosion.
• Reactors one to four can probably be entombed within six months. Entomb them.

Available Substances for Radiation Exposure, Protection, and Recovery

Keep in mind there are three primary classification of radioactive contamination ( Alpha, Beta, Gamma ) . In addition to varying half lives of various radioactive contaminants that may be bothersome. Most studies you will find are animal studies, primarily because it is difficult to get healthy people to stand still while they are being irradiated.
Even though there are many inexperienced reactionary individuals promoting Potassium Iodide as some sort of lucky rabbits foot. My hand has been forced by my friends to jump into this fray and offer some clarity. I left out binding elements such as Sodium Alginate for Cadmium etc… due to the complexity and variety of elements.
* I also left out a Carbon Tube BHA BHT drug that Darpa has been working on though due to its continued development. The ones listed below are all accessible by the public.
Compound derived from vegetables shields rodents from lethal radiation doses
“All of the untreated rats died, but well over half of the DIM-treated animals remained alive 30 days after the radiation exposure.”
Plant antioxidant may protect against radiation exposure: Acetyl Resveratrol
“New, small molecules with radioprotective capacity will be required for treatment in case of radiation spills or even as countermeasures against radiological terrorism,”
Stem-cell-protecting drug could prevent the harmful side effects of radiation therapy: mTOR inhibitor rapamycin
A class of drugs known as mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors can prevent radiation-induced tissue damage in mice by protecting normal stem cells that are crucial for tissue repair
Inositol and inositol hexaphosphate could provide all-purpose radiation protection
“also be a protective role for IP6 in any form of radiation exposure, whether it is from a therapeutic dose or from solar, cosmic or nuclear sources.”
Ginkgo biloba prevents Electromagnetic radiation induced oxidative stress in rat brain.
These alterations were prevented by Gb treatment. Furthermore, Gb prevented the MP-induced cellular injury in brain tissue histopathologically.
Could vitamin D save us from radiation
“It is now becoming recognized that its most active molecular form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, may offer protection against a variety of radiation- and otherwise-induced damages.”
Comparative effects of soluble and particulate glucans on survival in irradiated mice
glucans significantly enhanced survival in otherwise lethally irradiated (9.0-11.0 Gy) C3H/HeN mice
Mushroom beta glucan: potential candidate for post irradiation protection
- 83% survived at 30 days with 300mg/kg body wt of amifostine administered before RT while RT alone produced 100% mortality
——
* There is even more, but I do not want to over inundate with information and make things to confusing. When this post goes past 250,000 views, I will then post additional data. Please feel free to repost this….. The Linking terms through our operating site has been severely compromised the past few day. So the only way this info is probably going to spread is through word of mouth.

2014/04/04 Fukushima: Radioactive Cancer Causing “Hot Particles” Spread all Over Japan and North America’s West Coast

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
Three years ago, Fairewinds was one of the first organizations to talk about “hot particles” that are scattered all over Japan and North America’s west coast.
Hot particles are dangerous and difficult to detect.
