From: http://www.deccanherald.com/content/145051/japan-warns-radiation-leak-quake.html

Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano confirmed on Saturday there has been an explosion and radiation leakage at Tokyo Electric Power Co's (TEPCO) (9501.T) Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

I can't confirm who this is reporting but I wonder how bad this is at Fukushima.  Reactor building 4 was already a mess with a very large fuel pool.

I suspect it may be true...  And if so...  Goodbye northern hemisphere.

Cheerful, Amy, Cheerful!

Well let's try and get a little confirmation first shall we, before we write ourselves off?

It's bad enough that we are currently receiving 10x the Recommended Daily Allowance of background here in the UK. Is all I know..

FB!

Fruitbat, you are correct.  Confirmation.  We won't get it from Main Stream Media.  I kind of rely on the independent radiation monitoring of the West Coast primarily as well as the rest of the USA.

Doesn't sound too good though
Like i said, lots of rich people emigrating to the south..
This would literally spread around the whole world in a week or so, happened with Chernobyl,  and after the quake at Fukishima.
I heard a rumour that the Deepwater Horizon is still leaking oil...

I really hope we can manage to get off this planet before we kill it & ourselves, not to mention all life, for which we should be responsible.
Gets me mad sometimes

"What do You mean, "WE," white man?"  Most of Us Humans had no say in this.  Many things have happened despite popular protest.  In Japan, despite virtually all there not wanting it, They turned reactors back on.

I will not be lumped with the destroyers of Our planet.

Amy
Dont you think your last post was a bit harsh.
None  here want the destruction of this world.
In our way everyone here is trying to change it for the better:)

I don't know about this one.

My sources,if they are true,say it didn't happen.

The live gieger readings haven't changed.
We shall see.

Plus it's cool to see the tweets.

Oh,I almost forgot,The IAEA sent me this by request.

Compare notes and get back with me.
I have alot of notes to compare.

We shall see.

According to FruitBat, in the West Midlands, UK they are well above normal.

Preliminary readings indicate high atmospheric radiation levels in the West Midlands, UK

[Fruitbat]

Yup, I am still getting 10x higher readings than is the RDA of ionising radiation.

The counter audibly beeps when the count rises over a preset level.

Which is far less intrusive than a clicking counter, but you notice when those beeps come faster...

MY overall measurements since february SUGGEST that I was getting 3-4x the RDA averaged out over that period. TEh short term readings I am taking at the moment indicate around 10x backgound. I'd tentatively suggets it increases in the evening.

I appreciate Kdogs efforts to establish whether we are all stuffed right now, and I'd suggest that this thread may have been spawned by a particularly scary Lie. I for one wil be glad if that is the case, but will not rest unitil they TURN THE DAMN THINGS OFF, AND START CLEARING UP THE MESS.

[kdog]

Thanks,fruitbat.
You are right.
Look at all the angles of the story,not that you would trust the IAEA,'cause I don't.

According to the header of the article it is originally from Reuters; has anyone checked to see if it was indeed posted there today, or old news from last year?

"They turned the reactors back on"     Now I have heard and seen some foolish ridiculous crap in my life, but this is way up there with no brains in the bloody membrane.

Obviously they are totally insane, but then again with a country that continues to defy the laws of the ocean and sneaks behind people's back to destroy whales well I am sorry but they deserve everything they get; cuz I'm bloody sure Mr and Mrs Japan people go buy their bloody whale food.

So in this case you can all drown for being the disgusting non caring pigs you are.  As in drown of the whole of Japan, probably karma as in Cayce's readings.
