@lamapper "they turned off their air monitors just as mid to high range contaminates were being brought to US shores" So what are you basing your assertion of the severity of the radiation on?

How do you know any of that? What is it specifically about internet rumours spread by the scientifically illiterate that you find so easy to believe?

How do you decide what is true and what isn't? Do you think some idea how radiation works might help you in that determination? Why not?

@ImMichaelTaylor Americans would be mistaken to depend on the EPA (they turned off their air monitors just as mid to high range contaminates were being brought to US shores, shame on them) or any government (as their actions with 3 mile Island, Chernobyl, and many other US sites) as their standard operating procedure is to deny, downplay and try to tell us that radiation is good for us...yea right! Americans are taking their own readings...the truth will come out, no one can stop it!

Very good discussion. For weeks FAUX FOX NEWS has cried this is all left wing hype. The hype is clearly on the right. FAUX FOX NEWS has been too busy with partisan politics to portray the truth. Can't wait to hear how Bill "Oh Really" spins this

Great insight and thanks for teaching us some nuclear technology

It is disaster unfolding and most of us don't know anything about it

THANKS

@250mxrider "Do you think it is safe to keep living in Tokyo" Not really. They have too many earthquakes. Although the risk from that isn't massive. Tokyo's probably next though, I think they're about due.

As far as radiation, even a worse case scenario would effect your lifetime cancer risk by several orders of magnitude less than mundane things like sunlight, natural radon from granite bedrock, pollution from fossil fuels and so on.

@Allisa4757 The system that detected the xenon is incredibly sensitive, as it's designed to identify secret tests of nuclear weapons. It wouldn't be possible to detect by looking at the radiation level, you have to use chromatography to identify the xenon chemically.

The up to date radiation levels are publicly available (and have been for decades) , and do not show a detectable increase. The vast majority of the radiation is from natural sources, coal and past bomb tests

@Allisa4757 My point is, if you don't know what concentration compared to the level you can expect to cause harm in, say 1 in a million people, on what basis have you determined that the EPA under-exaggerated the risk? How about the newsreaders and producers? Do you think they know?

You have decided based on how hearing the word newkiller makes you feel. I suggest you find out those things.

@ImMichaelTaylor

It was in the news. I'm sorry I don't recall, but it was reported (of course) as not much by the EPA.

However I just learned the EPA is part of the executive branch of government. President and EPA director plan to raise the levels of "acceptable" Strontium-90 by 1000 fold very soon. Never deliberated in congress and never known by US citizens. That must change.

Why haven't they buried these reactors yet?

@DoctorOblivion1 It's record rain here as well. I lived in the Palo Alto area 1966-1976. and the Santa Cruz-Mtns area 1977-2000....And here from 2001-2011. DON"T LET ANYONE You know move out here between North Fork, Auberry, Tollhouse, etc. It's an endless parade of psychopaths. seriously. Grass Valley is where the sane go. I posted a few videos on this place and it's the sickest most uneducated unconscious brain dead people I have had the misfortune to interact with. Forewarned is forearmed
