Fukushima guilty of world's worst sea contamination

[TheBic4]

it would have been thousands of times worse if the reactors blew half the pacific would be radiated

[iluvrocknrap]

some people on here are so stupid making fun of them,fucking idiots. this shit is coming over here, plus canada and usa has there own reactors too.!!!

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

looks like we will still have seafood to eat in 20 years

[mizzzjersey]

This fat girl rt here is gonna die without sushi :(

[ChrisPCrunchy]

Its always a great idea to build Nuclear reactors in earthquake and tsunami prone areas. Karma is a bitch right?

[ChrisPCrunchy]

@FreonRose Areas in or near earthquake zones are geothermal hot spots. How about they use some out of the box thinking and turn a negative into a positive by using some polution free geothermal energy. No that cant be done as every nation has to be externally dependant for their energy needs so the new world order can control and keep their economies and people enslaved.

[ChrisPCrunchy]

@FreonRose You have no idea. There are numerous thermal springs where boiling hot ground water /steam rushes to the surface in the Fukushima area. There are many other similar sites all throughout Japan.

[FreonRose]

@ChrisPCrunchy oh i do. japan is an island after all and theres only one way to make a long lasting island. btw building geothermal power plants in an unstable area on top of an unstable area... also not a very good idea. tends to be lot of trouble lurking just below those hotspots making them ..well... hot. on the plus side if something goes wrong the japanese will have a little more breathing room instead of a nuclear issue. been fun though man. ima give others room to speak lol

[FreonRose]

@ChrisPCrunchy message me though. im still interested.

[PerilHit]

NOW Japan WILL YOU STOP WITH THE WHALE KILLING?

[AdamElseify]

Some justice has to come out of this nightmare. No more nuclear energy. I would rather pedal on a bike to generate electricity than get cancer from eating fish.

[Pigroota]

@AdamElseify Don't buy into this rhetoric.Nuclear is very clean and efficient. The waste coming out of this plant is not from spent fuel rods. No. The waste from Fukushima has a very small half life and is not dangerous. The waste from nearby oil plants was MUCH worse. Ask yourself why they don't cover that story!! Really ask yourself. Now think... this (very old) nuclear plant survived a NINE.ZERO earthquake!! If anything it is an advertisement FOR nuclear energy. Don't be a sheep

[diagreen]

@Pigroota YOUR RIGHT.NOBODY WORRY

[Pigroota]

@diagreen what is my right? My right to do what? Ohhhhhhhh... you mean "you're"! OK

[intrptr]

@Pigroota You are the ignorance of the Main Stream Media. Or did you make that shit up yourself? Or read it on Facebook? "Clean and efficient"--- yah, unless it explodes. The "waste" from the plant---LOL, has "very small half life"--ROFLMAO You mean "short" half life? As in 24,000 years for Plutonium? Yah, just down the milleniums and around the corner from here. You are a waste of mind space. Bah, Bah, Bah. Each aftershock further damages already rumbled, Tsunamied, exploded, radioactive mess.

[Pigroota]

@intrptr Go and look up the facts. The main waste at a nuclear site is depleted uranium. This is dangerous stuff but is not the concern at Fukushima. The stuff being put into the water from coolant at Fukushima is caesium which has a half life of 30 years. That's just a little bit less than the 24,000 you mention above. Coal pollutes more than nuclear. Also, depleted uranium is now 98% recyclabe. The truth hurts huh, but sure, go and keep polluting my planet with coal if you want

[intrptr]

@Pigroota Plutonium has half life of 24,000 years. Forget right now if PU (238) or (239). You go look it up. And I am glad we both agree how terrible Nuclear power and coal power are. Both of which we are using right now to type to each other, BTW. BBTW, solar and wind might be a better choice. Or ride a bike. Or... walk.

[shinobirevolution]

@intrptr Solar and wind are bad alternatives. They are too inefficient. Also, they are extremely expensive and deplete the energy around it, causing it too cool down. This is only good for hot areas, where you want it to become cooler. Also, they are a source of power only during times of sun or wind, which is random. It is just not a good replacement.

[intrptr]

@shinobirevolution Solar and wind are R_E_N_E_W_A_B_L_E. There's always the sun, the wind, ocean waves and geothermal. Then there's bio-fuels from corn and soy and good ol' elbow grease. Too expensive? I wonder what the price of a kilowatt hour is in Japan these days? (hint: It's going up). Random wind and sun, huh? For billions of years planet has done just fine by them. Now we get greedy and will destroy our wonderful technological civilization long before the sun stops shining. Random, lol =)

[shinobirevolution]

@intrptr They are Not renewable, as they will stop the moment the sun stops. Also, the demand for el-power are different from before, as we need a enormous constant supply of power. Wind and sun power simply cant offer that, as there is no place in the world that got constant sun and wind all year around.

And about your previous comment, how can you actually comment here if you do not own a PC, phone or any tech device? Either you are trying to troll, or you are simply stupid.

[intrptr]

@shinobirevolution Like I said, we are just now reaping the whirlwind of toxins dumped into the environment from our greedy need to have enormous demand for "power". There is a limit to how much of that the human body and the environment can absorb before we are slowly poisoned by all the pollution from all sources. I speak out via the web about that to all who promote more and more technology to solve the growing problem FROM that very same technology. I can't change all, only my own use.

[Pigroota]

@intrptr I don't agree with you at all. Nuclear is the best form of energy we have. And what has walking got to do with electricity consumption?? I am talking with a fucking retard. Bye

[intrptr]

@AdamElseify There ya go, good for you. See everyone? This is a solution. Albeit a 20/20 hindsight solution, but a powerful one at that.

[ministry75]

After Fukushima disaster i have stopped eat fish. I don't trust the governments and i don't trust multinationals. Fucking bastards we are in a sea of shit and they minimize.

[kansascitycomputers]

@ministry75 I love various types of fish and no I have to worry about eating it. :'-(

[RalghaNarHhallasClan]

They'll do anything to preserve there lil' miss perfect image to the rest of the world while sweeping all their problems under the rug. These things deserve no sympathy. They would have done the world a favor if the did not betrayed their own creed and all faught to the death instead of surrendering sixty years ago. Fukken cesium laced nips.

[420lezlie420]

@RalghaNarHhallasClan When you say "they" do you mean Japanese? Because if you do, then I think you're bringing race into something that is about profit over safety and public knowledge.

[shinobirevolution]

@RalghaNarHhallasClan Nice opinion. But I have some questions. If these "things" are indeed only things, then what does that make you? My English must be lacking because I cannot find a word for something of a lower value than "things". Would it be a shitty thing? A broken thing? I simply cant describe you. Also, please learn proper English spelling and grammar please. That way you can at least cover your lacking intelligence.

[RalghaNarHhallasClan]

@shinobirevolution Forgive my lack of knowledge in taxonomy. But I cannot predict what they will mutate into in the coming years. So I figured that "thing" would be the most appropriate term to describe them.

[Metonium]

Why the fuck would you build a potential global contaminating reactor on a god damn island near the fucking water?! huh? wtf you fucking idiot. Its like saying an astreroid will never hit earth again....... fucking asians dude... no common sense.

[Gibbzifying]

@Metonium

Dear retard,

It is built next to the ocean to use the infinite supply of water for cooling thier reactors.

[intrptr]

@Gibbzifying Dear son of retard, also to wash away any "leaks", or use seawater (gulp... the worst) to hose down the plants in a vain attempt to cool the cores after failure of containment. (which also "washes away" any "residue" or "residual evidence".) Convenient,huh?

[kansascitycomputers]

somebody responded to me.I forgot who. Iodine-131 has 8 day half life..but it takes a full 85 days to totally decay. During that time you are getting hit with x-rays, gamma rays, possibly alpha and beta. Iodine-131 decays into barium, a naturally occurring element found deep in the earth that is know to cancer by itself. Barium in the body isnt good folks.

[tomuchbabble]

@kansascitycomputers Take a look at ENENEWS top of web page and the bottom

[cinszjack]

EVERY COUNTRY IS GUILTY!! EVERY country allowing nuclear plants to be built, saying it's "clean energy" EVERY SINGLE ONE IS GUILTY FOR THIS. Not, not, NOT only FUKUSHIMA

[link199z]

guys, we shouldn't be so hateful of fukushima, i'm tellin ya we need robots to man these stations, that way if another tsunami happens, high tech robots can take over immediately, and they don't get hurt by the radiation, so they can b on ground zero!

[909trauma]

@link199z In extreme radiation even robots break down. Go see the documentary "The True Battle of Chernobyl" (the part about robots starts at 53.00). Please post a new solution...

[909trauma]

@909trauma documentary can be found at google video! video.google.com

[intrptr]

@link199z unless there's stairs involved.

[link199z]

@intrptr What about Asimo? honda Asimo humanoid robot can climb stairs. In the next decades we will have robots developed like TC-14 in Star Wars, they can b at work at those dangerous nuclear plants, technology will adapt and solve our problems, go technology!

[intrptr]

@link199z Go Technology? Technology got us into this mess. Every time we upgrade technology to solve our "problems" we create even more problems. Now we done it. Modern "technology" is only a 100 years old or so. Thousands of years we live without it. now we can't live without it. Oil in the gulf. Radioactivity in our water and food. Instruments of war. All the pollution form these and the industry that brought it. We're choking on our "technology".

[shinobirevolution]

@intrptr No we are not. We are choking on human incompetence.

[intrptr]

@shinobirevolution However you slice it. Mans Technology produced nuclear reactors and his reason took a back seat. The quake did the rest. 

[shinobirevolution]

@intrptr Then I demand you to throw away your PC, Phone, car, watch, tv; to never use buses, trains or planes; to never eat or drink anything you can buy from a shop. Start living in a cave, and then you can complain. Technology is bad right? Also, it was not the quake that caused this situation, it was the tsunami.

[intrptr]

@shinobirevolution BTW, I don't own a car or a PC, or a phone or a watch, and I haven't rode a bus a train or a plane for decades. I don't burn coal either like oink oink says I do on here. I barter repairs for room and board and grow my own food. TV sucks. Tech isn't bad... its out of control. Oil and nuclear power and wars for instance. Oh and chemical fertilizers,genetic engineering, deforestation, uh what else? World is choking on "fallout" from wonderful technology.

[r655321]

Obviously not good news but one thing I don't get is for decades since the first atomic bomb was detonated, primarily the US and UK have conducted hundreds if not thousands of nuclear tests (hydrogen, uranium, plutonuim and whatever else) above ground, underground, in the oceans, and even in space. Those instances were deliberate. Why the major uproar now and hopefully not but smearing of Japan and Fukushima (not including TEPCO of course) ? I wonder what readings a nuke detonation would give.

[escapee78]

@r655321 Little Boy Atomic Bomb dropped on Hiroshima contains 64 KG uranium, Whereas reactor 1 in FuKushima, which has just experienced a full meltdown contained 68 Tons (68 000KG) of Melted fuel or Corium. So in other words, Fukushima is like having a few thousand Hiroshima like nuclear tests in a single location. No to mention tons of the spent fuel rods that get blown off or evaporated during the explosion... Oh my....Can you now see the severity of this disaster?

[johntheactor]

@escapee78 It would not be fair to compare the two events, since the uranium used for Little boy was highly enriched and designed to have higher energy yields than a reactor. Mind you, no uranium ever got out of the reactor in Fukushima.

[shinobirevolution]

@escapee78 No, but I can see your idiocy.

[intrptr]

@r655321 Two totally different events. A weapons detonation burns the "fuel" in a moment and the fallout produced is "mostly short lived". The rest of the Ur or Pu is not burned or fissioned in the burst. That is the long live dangerous part. Each weapons, "remains" is tiny compared to the amount of fuel in ANY reactor PLUS spent fuel pools. Slow burn" that in a core or sfp and you are left with 10's of tons of many different isotopes and radionuclides in air, oceans and groundwater. Spreading..

[johntheactor]

@r655321 I'm pretty sure that there has been no nuclear device set off above our atmosphere. I think that for the most part, the fear and anger surrounding the Fukushima Daichi incident are overblown. You are right to think the way you do. The types of radiation released are completely different, and the Japanese (and us) are pretty much safe, outside of the exclusion zone ofc.

[intrptr]

Would you like those rads to go, or will you be decaying here?

[everready59]

Burned to the GROUND.

 if you can get tuna that's canned NOW-BUY IT before the panic begins.

[SuperYT4Ever]

The Japs must be guilty of willful negligence that threatens the environment and safety of entire East Asia and the surrounding seas.

How does those gloves protect them from any thing, O well evil always wipes out evil,

[kurtilein3]

i dont think cesium will accumulate in the food-chain.

As i understand it, Cesium doesnt accumulate in organisms, not like fat-soluble toxins or mercury or other heavy metals do. On land, cesium just sinks down into the ground over time, lets hope the same happens in the sea, and that a relatively safe top layer develops and you need to dig a bit to get to the really bad cesium-concentrations.

still, thats nothing compared to the BP oil spill.

[tapolna]

@kurtilein3 ... didn't you listen to the vid? Cesium is being found in fish. It is accumulating and it is not sinking to the bottom of the ocean. You may be wrong. ... Not that the Gulf Oil Spill wasn't also another man-made catastrophe thanks to the latest technology brought to us by BP but doesn't oil breakdown by biological organism over time? I don't think too many living organism can do much about radiactive Cescium, Plutonium etc. and depleted Uranium (thanks to US army in Iraq)

[kurtilein3]

@tapolna

Im just saying that some elements accumulate in the body, and some dont. If you take in strontium or calcium, it will be incorporated into your bones and stay there until you die. Mercury sticks to your liver and other organs. But phosphorus, if you take it in, will leave your body again. It doesnt stick to anything in particular. I think Cesium is like phosphorus, it doesnt stick, so the concentration at the top of the food chain shouldnt be higher than at the bottom.

[intrptr]

@kurtilein3 By any chance, do you work for Tepco? What misinfo your comment is. Yah, it sinks to the bottom, and gets eaten by crawlers, which get eaten by bigger and bigger fish all the way up the ladder to you...

"really bad cesium"---LOL

[johntheactor]

@intrptr I find it funny that whenever a person says anything contrary to the prevailing belief, everyone suddenly jumps to thinking that the persons arguing have a vested interest in the issue.

[intrptr]

@johntheactor Either that or is just relaying some misinfo he heard on a "news" broadcast. Either way, minion of the state. What are you, his handler?

[johntheactor]

@intrptr I think you'd be hard pressed to find any news station that will have a positive view on any kind of radiation. Also, I believe there would be better ways for a company to spend its money than to have people comment on a site that isn't in their language. Remember the context here. There is a fine line between showing proper concern and fear mongering. Kurtilein has a very optimistic view, but you shouldn't just dismiss him as an agent of "the powers that be" without thinking.

[intrptr]

@johntheactor Ok dismissed. LOL That is what the "news" is for. Bought and paid for disinfo feel good, consume, everything A-OK now go back to sleep. Just trying to wake him up and counter his "optimism", as you put it. That is what the internet is for. Opinions from all sides instead of one way TEPCO>>>NHK>>>HIM/YOU>>>HERE ][ Blocked. Without thinking... You both did hear the video about Ce IN the fish right? You can believe that. =)

[johntheactor]

@intrptr Unfortunately, the character limit makes meaningful debate impossible on technical issues like the dangers of nuclear radiation. I've a beef with the presentation of the video, but not with the numbers in it. Fortunately, I do not prescribe to trusting news facts. You read peer reviewed science journals for that. I am not uncomfortable with saying that I can and will be wrong at times, and will accept an argument if it is convincing on an empirical level.

[intrptr]

@johntheactor Well how goody goody and too too. How about an Empirical joke? Can you read that in peer reviewed journals? Thats all it was. A joke, get it? Geez learn to laugh a little. For help on this, read other comments on here. Some are funny as hell.

My fav is, Can I get a little radioactive tartar sauce with that radioactive fish? LOL

I know how serious this is, thats why its important to laugh about it as well.

You should come on ATS.com, Youd love it. One thread on FUKU is a 1000 pages.

[johntheactor]

@intrptr While I admit that laughter is an important part of living an enjoyable human life, I fail to see what that has to do with the concern at hand. Godzilla's only inevitable after all. We take our radioactive monsters seriously here after all.

[kurtilein3]

@intrptr

Im just saying that concentrations at the top of the food chain wont be much higher than at the bottom, because it doesnt stick to anything in particular in your body. It goes out as it goes in. Only elements that stick to something special, get incorporated into the bones, liver, bone marrow or something else, like mercury or strontium or iodine, only these accumulate in the food chain. Its biochemistry. Uranium, Plutonium or radioactive Strontium are much worse, they stick.

[kansascitycomputers]

@kurtilein3 there are hundreds of isotopes also in the fish besides cesium..these aren't talked about for some reason

[johntheactor]

@kansascitycomputers It's because Cs has the most dangerous isotopes, aside from Sr (if I remember correctly). The threat from other isotopes has mostly small because they've either decayed to be a non-threat (like iodine with a 8 day half life), or are not very radioactive at all.

[johntheactor]

@kurtilein3 Wouldn't it be fair to say that Sr and P are, by far, worse than U, since U tends towards having rather low radioactivity? Since U a naturally occurring element instead of one produced by an artificial nuclear process [Sr from decay] [P from manufacture in reactors]

Conversely, U is present from when it was produced in supernovae, meaning it's got super-low radioactivity/decay= safer

[kurtilein3]

@johntheactor

i think when looking only at the radiation and natural / unused uranium, you are totally right. But there are two problems: first of all, even without the radioactivity, uranium is just toxic as hell. Just chemically incredibly toxic. And used uranium from a reactor is always mixed with heavier isotopes, and heavier elements that behave very similar in the environment, which are much more radioactive.

[hoosierhiver]

First Fukushima story I've seen in months.

[TheHealthPhysicist]

EuroNoobz is correct. It is silly to compare the sea concentrations between Chernobyl and Fukushima. However, assuming the report is accurate concerning the fish concentrations (15,000 Bq/kg), that is unfortunately too high for consumption (unless starvation is the alternative).

[kaz84jp]

[HitomiNoRyu]

I say this to everyone!=: Between the Fukishima and BP oil spill, the future is in fish farms~! Seriously more support should be given to that!

[MartianStories]

@HitomiNoRyu I think you make a very good point, Mr. Hitomi. It could be that, for a while, the only non-radioactive sealife people might find to eat would be from fish farmed inland.

Sadly, I live in Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. Many gulf fishermen committed suicide because they hated what had happened and knew it would end their lifestyle. People here are still in denial about the impact the oil disaster had on the Gulf ecology.

This is a very sad world we've made for ourselves.

[HitomiNoRyu]

@MartianStories Thank you for agreeing! Even now I've been choosing farmed fish over wild-caught. The industry still has its flaws. Farming carnivorous fishes like tuna is still difficult to archive. Same goes none-schooling fish which are not used to cramped farming conditions. Hopefully husbandry techniques will improve with time.

PS I'm a woman.

[MartianStories]

@HitomiNoRyu Yeah, I think you're right about all this. Either way, our stupidity as a species never ceases to surprise me.

At any rate, yeah I figured you were a woman right after I posted that and then saw your page. I posted on it on your wall.

Anyway, have a great one. Keep those geckos dancing! :)

[skeletonmom]

@HitomiNoRyu - Yeah, but, fish farms have a way to go to become safe, too. The existing ones have horrible things they feed the fish, nasty living environments...same problems that factory "farming" cows, pigs, chickens face. If only we could raise healthy animals in a healthy environment for food without cutting corners to make a buck...ironically its the same problems we have with power plants/mining/fracking-cutting corners to make a buck and fucking things up!
