EPA RADnet Reports Show Plutonium in US since March 18th
It's on a boat and will be arriving in Vancouver harbor in a couple of weeks.
Guess we will see in a few years or maybe less if everyone south of the 49th and globally - who knows - is full of free radicals and other life altering nasties. It's so touching that we dont have the migration of rads problem here in Canada.
If we aren't all full of free radicals already, I wouldn't be scared.
Just increase your intake of berries, broccoli, garlic, green tea and tomatoes(in any form)
These foods have just about the highest antioxident levels of any other foods.
blueberries and acacia juice if you're that concerned. Just think of all the above ground nuclear tests that have occurred since 1945. That's a shitload more radioactive waste pumped into our environment than what is being released from Fukushima.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. had said Tuesday that it had found iodine-131 at 7.5 million times the legal limit in a seawater sample taken near the facility, and government officials instituted a health limit for radioactivity in fish. Other samples were found to contain radioactive cesium at 1.1 million times the legal limit.
A weapon produces most of its energy in radiation immediately after detonation. Nuclear power however is designed to give off radiation for a much longer period of time. Comparing a-bomb tests in 1945 to reactor's being used today is a non-sequitur.
The Southwest US were hundreds of weapons were tested in the air and on the ground is still radioactive, but even though hundreds of bombs were tested, its still only radioactive as the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
In fact, some measurements indicate that the Chernobyl zone is even more radioactive as evidenced by sheer number of cancers and deformaties around the region, compared to the southwest which has much smaller numbers of these problems.
Also, many weapons were tested in the Pacific, some in Russia/Kazakhstan. Also the weapons were tested over decades, not a year or two. This makes a difference in dispersion of radiation and fallout intensities.
Yeah, a speck of plutonium especially via inhalation is deadly in the form of a nano particle - for all intents, apparently it's about the most toxic substance known.
Just ask Alexander Litvinenko.
