Provided they are only releasing irradiated steam, not much.
Okay, I know we have, at least, the 10 smartest Mensa members posting in here, on a regular basis.
What does this mean for the rest of us?
Provided they are only releasing irradiated steam, not much.
An 8.9 Quake Could Have Irradiated the Entire US
Had the massive 8.9 Richter-scale earthquake that has just savaged Japan hit off the California coast, it could have ripped apart at least four coastal reactors and sent a lethal cloud of radiation across the entire United States.
The two huge reactors each at San Onofre and Diablo Canyon are not designed to withstand such powerful shocks. All four are extremely close to major faults.

Let's be a responsible, adult country, and procrastinate until these reactors are destroyed, then let the disaster capitalists make $Bs in the aftermath.
It's clean, it's safe, it's too cheap to meter...
Don't know. I heard only radioactive iodine was released, that there is no threat. As for what they are saying, should I ask my daughter? She speaks Japanese and is making a trip there soon.
You are talking about the explosion at the 1:44 mark, right?
It means you're a selfish prick.
Those white clouds are steam. It was probably a steam explosion in the support piping that collapsed the outside building. Steam explosions can be absolutely catastrophic just like gas explosions. They are still pumping water on the core and the core is supposedly still intact. Hope for the best.
Thousands dead, more missing, 5 declared nuclear emergencies, tens of thousands evacuated, cesium detected, aftershocks galore...and Yoni is worried about the impact on us.
Would it be called the Uruguay Syndrome, or Brazil Syndrome in Japan?
The opposite point of earth from the Fukushima I power plant is in the Atlantic, real close to these countries.

(map not sourced -- looking for more )
tick tick tickety means run your ass outta there and pop some radaway for good measure
"Some are now speculating that increased solar activity could be connected to the recent outbreak of earthquakes, along with fluctuations in the earth magnetic field and possibly HAARP. Massive solar flares have been reported over the past week."
Ridiculous, yes.
Facepalm."Some are now speculating that increased solar activity could be connected to the recent outbreak of earthquakes, along with fluctuations in the earth magnetic field and possibly HAARP. Massive solar flares have been reported over the past week."
Is 750 rads even noteworthy? (from WH's map - I honestly don't know)
What I do know is that if that thing goes you can forget any new nuclear reactors in the United States.
Having already reported on the risk of nuclear meltdown in Japan, assessing the fallout risk to Japan and others would seem to be an obvious knock on. Not sure whether it's odd or not that no MSM outlets are doing so yet.
Thats a good point. I haven't seen much coverage on whats going on but you would think that coverage would now include the disaster scenario maps.
I'm pretty dubious about the map and totally ignorant of the possible impact on human health, supposing the info it contains is even close to correct. Presumably reactor design/damage would be a factor as to the severity of fallout in the case of meltdown too.
BTW WH, I think that map you linked is terrible. After looking at it a bit and reading the logic I think he's FOS.
Yeah, I looked at it by going to the link and the logic that a meltdown in japan is going to produce an explosion large enough to get nuclear material into the 300 mb layer is dubious at best.
Oh i think so too. I was just trying to get a handle on where Yoni's concern was coming from and what's flying around the internets right now. It does look like crapola, but the silence of the MSM on such an intuitive threat is odd too.
Based on a couple google searches, which now makes me an expert in radiation sickness, 750 rads ain't .
