Yeah...I guess you're right...it was just a bunch of fear-mongering alarmists that must have faked the film of the reactors blowing their lids in 2011...good special effects though!...right up there with the thermite demolition of the twin towers using holographic planes. LMAO

The ABC story wasn't intended to pertain to the thread topic...It was intended to show you that even your precious "reliable sources for news" are just as given to "fear-mongering" as my "alarmist", "less than credible" web-based information sources.

you better worry about the China-Syndrome!
That Reactor-Core might just end up in your Backyard!

It already DID!...That's why I'm ranting about it.

I'd clean up the mess myself, but all the robots I send to do the work just die on the job before they get within a hundred feet of it.

(On the plus side, the glow makes for a neat patio light)

There is a difference between an explosion caused by a build-up of hydrogen gas and an explosion caused by a nuclear reaction.

Yeah...The hydrogen build-up was caused by the heat of the runaway nuclear reaction...The explosion didn't really do much...except scatter scads of plutonium & other light & heavy isotopes all over the place..."Nothing to see here folks...move along now...stop gawking...it's only a few little explosions...most of the contamination won't even land in this area...If you live near these reactors, you should probably just go home and await further instruction in a few months or so...move along now..."

Again, the topic of this thread is the west coast of the USA, not Japan.

Nobody is denying that Fukushima was a disaster.

Only problem is that the much vaunted China-Syndrome is Fake!
Core really wouldn't get too far!

Th' dickens you say!

This cat knows what the *** he's talkin about.

David Suzuki has issued a scary warning about Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant, saying that if it falls in a future earthquake, it's "bye bye Japan" and the entire west coast of North America should be evacuated.

The "Nature of Things" host made the comments in a talk posted to YouTube after he joined Dr. David Schindler for "Letting in the Light," a symposium on water ecology held at the University of Alberta on Oct. 30 and 31.

An excerpt of the talk shows Suzuki outlining a frightening scenario that would result from the destruction of the nuclear plant.

"Fukushima is the most terrifying situation I can imagine," he said.

"Three out of the four plants were destroyed in the earthquake and in the tsunami. The fourth one has been so badly damaged that the fear is, if there's another earthquake of a seven or above that, that building will go and then all hell breaks loose.

"And the probability of a seven or above earthquake in the next three years is over 95 per cent."

Suzuki said that an international team of experts needs to go into the Fukushima plant and help fix the problem, but said the Japanese government has "too much pride to admit that."

"I have seen a paper which says that if in fact the fourth plant goes under in an earthquake and those rods are exposed, it's bye bye Japan and everybody on the west coast of North America should evacuate," he said.

"If that isn't terrifying, I don't know what is."

Suzuki's warning came as radiation from the Fukushima plant has been detected in northern Alaska and along the west coast, CBC News reported.

Radiation in Alaskan waters could reach Cold War levels, said Douglas Dasher, a researcher at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, although John Kelley, a professor emeritus at the same university, doesn't seem as certain that it will reach dangerous levels for humans.

"The data they will need is not only past data but current data, and if no one is sampling anything then we won't really know it, will we," he told the network.

Apparently, fear-mongers such as David Suzuki don't have any friends at the USA's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

In an article titled "Fukushima's Worst-Case Scenarios: Much of what you've heard about the nuclear accident is wrong", Slate reporter Paul Blustein writes the following:



Here are more excerpts from the Slate article:





(*John Holdren is President Obama's chief science advisor.)



In short, David Suzuki is spreading the misinformation that the Slate article warns against.

At the time of the Fukushima disaster, Jeffrey A. Bader was the senior director for East Asian affairs on the USA's National Security Council. He was involved with the USA's response to Fukushima from the beginning of that disaster.

Here are excerpts from Bader's report "Inside the White House During Fukushima".



Bader describes what the U.S. government discovered about Fukushima.







Regarding the contaminated water from Fukushima that has entered the Pacific Ocean, National Geographic reporter Patrick J. Kiger writes the following:

He's reporting what proprietors of nuclear power plants across the globe do not want people to know..

Suzuki is reporting the misinformation that the media spread in the days following the Fukushima disaster. Doing so gives Suzuki his 15 minutes of fame.

Well, lets have a look at the lawrence Livermore Laboratory aka Lawrence Livermore National Security aka Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration aka DOE aka Conflict of Interest & PR Damage Control Inc. for the nuclear industry shall we?

I'd say it gets the same status credibility-wise as as the EPA and FDA, both of which are well known rubber stamps for criminal corporations like BP, DuPont, Monsanto and Union Carbide et al that produced products like teflon, aspartame & GMOs. It stands to reason that LLNL would snap into damage control action immediately to limit the liability of precious American national treasures like GE & others for poorly designed, unsafe reactors.

The scientists I've talked to about the mess at Fukushima tend to just shake their heads in disgust about the coverup and bull$hit coming out of Japan, Ottawa & Washington & outfits like Health Canada and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories...but then what do they know?...Obviously if they have no stake or interest in preserving the nuclear industry, you can't count on their private opinions!

I have mixed opinions regarding Dr. Suzuki...I agree with him on some things and disagree on others, but in this case, I find myself agreeing with him. Maybe we should get the opinion of a popular American scientist about Fukushima?...How about Dr. Michiu Kaku?...At least he's a physicist. I dug up a CNN interview he did shortly after the Fukushima fiasco began:

And just for general interest, here's a vid from the early days of Fukushima:

Yes it is true that the reactor is pumping out major rads each day into the ocean, and talking about it is not fear mongering. My hair has been falling out twice as much in the last 3 months and I live in Alberta Canada, I know it is caused by radiation, not only from Japan but from the sun as well, we are sensitive beings and coronal output also affects us here on earth. It is not fear mongering to be informed and talk about the fallout in the air and water....they even started putting chemicals in the jet stream via airplanes to try to counter act the radiation, see chemtrails...yes they are real and yes their are such nice things in the chemtrails as barium and aluminum....So just focusing on the crap that the powers that be want you to know about is foolish do not be a sheep keep informed, or stick your head in the sand and ignore it all. Your choice.

I suppose you consulted some Radiation-Measuring Device before you made that Statement?

Nah...She probably just asked someone knowledgeable like me why her hair was falling out, and s/he told her the probable reasons. That's my guess anyway.

Surely you jest.

How can you be sure of anything when your judgment is so poor that you think ducks can make jests?
