News on Fukushima Daiichi

[notherenowtoday]

i like this guy, he gets to the point

very interesting...

btw,

this is also very intereting

this person seems to try to make ppl aware

just look up in you tube "Distress Call / WakeUp" its the first result with same title

TRADUZCANLO POR FAVOR!!.

TRANSLATE PLEASE!!

What does 2.39 MR/h mean?

[frogmatt33]

I think the problem is that the radiation is so hot it degrades whatever barrier that's put in front of it. I'm pretty sure that the Chernobyl reactor is up to it's 5th or 6th concrete sarcophagus. The nature of this beast is that the nuclear industry has NEVER found an adequate way to deal with this stuff. They were simply hoping this would never occur. :(

Thank you for this informational posting. It alleviates some uncertainties, which can wreak havoc in times of crisis.

Mr. Gunderston etal...the folks trying to fix the crack in the concrete have tried concrete and baby diaper micro sponges and cellulose...I grew up on a farm and we often used Bentonite Clay to seal leaking ponds and lakes... it swells 18X and could very likely resolve /slow the leak...do you know if this has been tried or why it wouldnt be practical?

more reason to support your local children's hospital

[bottle2lip]

good video. But he needs a newer detector. The newer ones can detect alpha/beta/gamma selectively, so you know exactly what the readings are saying.

i recommend the Gammascout. There are professional models, but are several thousand dollars. The gammascout runs about 500

[Allisa4757]

Anyone who wants information. Go to his website. He updated info today. This is very serious. Gunther Oettinger, Europes energy commissioner said yesterday "There is talk of an apocalypse and I think the word is particularly well chosen. I can not exclude the worst in the hours and days to come."

since the first nuke plant was built. That waste includes protective clothing of people in contact with radioactive materials, remains of lab animals used in experiments with radionuclides, cooling water, used fuel rods & old tools, parts from nuclear power plants, mill tailings from uranium-enrichment factories, old medical radiation equipment from hospitals & clinics & used smoke detectors which contain radioactive americium-241 sensors. What does nuke power mean 2 me? COMPLETE INSANITY!

[AquarielCharm]

With all due respect to your superior education but I think it's a lot of lip Service. There are over 100 operating nuclear power plants in the US, 16 non-operational power plants, and a large number of nuclear fuel and weapons facilities and that radioactive waste can't recycled and the only solution is to bury it into environment which I read will take 3 million years (you say 24 thousands years) to decay to background levels. That a huge amount of nuclear waste being buried since 1983. ..

I had a radium watch when I was a kid. I'd fall asleep at night looking at the bright green glow of the irradiated phosphor...

[hagbard72]

Well, that doesn't give me a warm cosy feeling. 

[luicamac]

Thank you.

[MrNobleSavagery]

informative and reassuring. Thanks again.

[skr1blz]

Thanks for these videos. Can you do an episode on what the possible radiation means to US west coast? What is the danger if plutonium has been released?

[septicbrainfluid]

@skr1blz I would also love to now more about this; I'm on the south west coast of Canada.

If Plutonium is releases will it reach North America or is it dense enough that it stay in Japan?

What are the odds (roughly) of ingesting a highly radioactive particle from the plant if you live on the west coast and a radioactive cloud passes by you?

[mew19forever]

excellent video, i learned so much and really appericate you teaching us all^-^

[ruexp100]

Thanks Arnie for taking the time to post this. I live in the west and appreciate you clarifying these areas. Seems news on the disaster ceased as if on que after the President's speech all MSM reporting stopped after the Pres said watch your (mind control) TVs for updates on Japan's nuclear situation...[.

[chena3]

plutonium....

a quarter million year

pile of poop

[AFAskygoddess]

Thank you, thank you for making these videos!

[jonboda]

hmmmm.

[pvfarm]

My home nuke meter from the mid 1960s looks at Rem's... So 1 mR would = 1/100 rem or 1/1,000,000 rem ?

It seems about everyone talks in different units.. Makes it hard for a old farmer to keep up with it all. Sodbust

[sendkeys]

@pvfarm milli means 1000 Your detector I'm guessing is a survey meter. This is used for after nuclear war. It will not show the small amount of radiation coming from japan. If something shows up on your meter start digging your fallout shelter hehe

[Psy500]

@sendkeys

milli means 1.0E-3 or .001

[sendkeys]

@Psy500 correct but all so means thousand.

It takes 1000 millirems to make a rem.

[Psy500]

@sendkeys

True but if the meter is measuring in mR it is already measuring in mili-roentgen (probably per hour). R is roentgen not rem, rem itself is a unit for roentgen equivalent in man. It sounds like pvfarm's meter is pretty standard scale yet for Japan you'd want a meter in in R not mR scale.

[luckyluke1232]

Great info thanks

[MrBeauDoggy]

Thank you

[supersaiyan184]

Excellent video. I learnt a lot of terms to interpret what we see and hear from the media. Thanks Arnie for taking the time to explain
