Japan - 8.9 Earthquake - Fukushima Meltdown

[Aya]

Well...a sad thing is that people in Japan (especially people in Tokyo) seem like they do not care about　anything above all. Like quite many people have the -"There is nothing we can do about it so why should we care??"-attitude. So they live their lives as if nothing has happened.
That is the most dangerous thing to me...

Looks like you are seeing the Normalcy bias.

I think you are right.

Why is this dangerous to you?

I wrote "That is the most dangerous thing to me..." but sorry I meant "That's the most scary thing to me."

Well, it is objectively dangerous to you and to everyone else, because a potentially disastrous situation is being underestimated.

For the record, Aya, I think you are doing the right thing by getting away from Japan. Hopefully you will find a realistic way to do so soon.

I agree, plus it IS dangerous to those basking in radiation ignoring it all until they sicken and die. I'm surprised that was lost on you, Azur, and your question seemed rather odd in context.

Hi Laura, i want to say thanx for all the hard work you have put into this fantastic site and channeling and everything else, I am new here and am still learning about the C's through the wave chapters (on part 8 )

i posted something about anti gravity in the questions for the C's section, there is so much information here its amazing, although i couldn't wait to post my thoughts on the anti gravity thought i had because it would take me a long time to catch up on everything, if what i suggest is nothing new then no worries

also about earthquakes I had heard through a random source that 15 or 20 years ago science guys changed the Richter scale so that a 9 is 8 etc dropping the # down 1 so that quakes do not appear as severe to the layman, if any of you could corroborate this or debunk it that would be great,

if its true then it was actually a 9.9 quake serious indeed

Hello Jimbofirstround, You ask about the Richter Scale. It dates from the 1930's. In the 1970's it was replaced by the Moment Magnetude Scale. See the wikipedia entry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_magnitude_scale

There is a chart that compares the two scales. Some "fudge factors" were put into the Moment Magnetude Scale to make the number comparable to the Richter Scale.

Regards,

Pagan

Interesting points about the TEPCO agenda to manage the disaster...

Here is another recent interview with Arnie Gundersen on the Fukushima situation. It's an hour long conversation and touches a wide area.

As an aside, Gundersen and I graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at about the same time although I do not remember him.

Excellent article published by Mike Adams about radiation exposure :

(Bold are mines)

_http://www.naturalnews.com/032136_radiation_exposure_chart.html

(NaturalNews) Thanks to the Fukushima catastrophe, we've all been learning a lot about the laws of physics lately -- especially about radiation. To help explain it all, the folks over at InformationIsBeautiful.com have created a radiation explanation chart that shows the relative levels of harm from various doses of radiation (link below).

The InformationIsBeautiful website is pretty cool. The folks there specialize in making complex data visually interesting. I've admired some of their work for quite some time.

So I was checking out their new "Radiation Dosage Chart" which explained all the effects of receiving radiation doses of various levels. The chart revealed things like:

• 100 mSv Annual dose at which increased lifetime cancer risk if evident
• 250 mSv Dose limit for US radiation workers in life-saving operations
• 1,000 mSv Temporary radiation sickness. Nausea, low blood count. Not fatal.

... and so on.

As I read down the chart, things got really interesting. View the chart yourself here (or below):
_http://www.naturalnews.com/images/r...

• 2,000 mSv Severe radiation poisoning
• 4,000 mSv Extremely severe dose - survival possible
• 5,000 mSv Extremely severe radiation dose - high chance of fatality
• 6,000 mSv Usually fatal dose
• 10,000 mSv Fatal dose

And then, right there on the chart, the very next line was a huge eye-opener, because it said:

• 20,000 mSv Highly targeted dose used in cancer radiotherapy

There's this French investigation about the nuclear industry: http://www.pluzz.fr/complement-d-enquete-2011-04-18-22h10.html

At 1°43' there's the results of analysis of vegetables just coming from Japan and gather at 80 km (50 miles) from Fukushima power plant.

Result: all are contaminate with cesium 137, cesium 134, iodine 131. This is artificial nuclides coming from Fukushima. Doses are higher than the 500 Bq/kg allowed by the Japanese government. Eating 1 kg of this vegetables is hazardous to the health.

Some seems wrong with the info received from Fukushima...

Fukushima Residents Seek Answers Amid Mixed Signals From Media, TEPCO and Government. Report from the Radiation Exclusion Zone

Definitly wrong... awesome video by a japanese person,...with a letter to ministry of internal affairs included

..."The government charges that the damage caused by earthquakes and by the nuclear accident are being magnified by irresponsible rumors, and the government must take action for the sake of the public good. The project team has begun to send "letters of request" to such organizations as telephone companies, internet providers, cable television stations, and others, demanding that they "take adequate measures based on the guidelines in response to illegal information. "The measures include erasing any information from internet sites that the authorities deem harmful to public order and morality."

Important video, it really brings home the danger from nuclear fallout.
