Government Lied – Radioactive Fallout hits the west coast

Fallout hitting west coastA diplomat, with access to the U.N.’s Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organizations tracking equipment, is reporting that Radioactive fallout from Japan has started reaching the West Coast. The Diplomat says that so far the readings are below hazardous levels.

What’s so troubling about this report is the fallout is from the first explosion. By all accounts the first explosion pushed only small amounts of radioactive materials into the air.  Since there is speculation that all four reactors have been in some form of meltdown for the last couple of days, the worst could be yet to come.

I think the government needs to start taking this seriously and needs to let the public know that they may be at risk. The first radiation leaks were very small in comparison to what was pushed into the environment after explosions ripped apart the reactor buildings in subsequent days. If these small amounts can reach us, then why is no one talking about what could be on the way?

For over a week these reactors have been spewing radioactive materials into the air. The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency released a statement yesterday that said, they believed that there may be no water at the number 4 reactors spent- fuel cooling pool. If these Fuel rods are exposed to air they can catch fire and let out massive levels of radioactive materials into the air. When the radiation from the spent fuels rods hit the jet stream, what kind of levels will we see then?

  • Japanese government now considering burying the nuclear reactors under concrete because the situation is beyond control.
  • Head of TEPCO breaks down after a press conference after admitting that radiation levels coming from the reactors and spent fuel rods was enough to kill some Japanese citizens.

UPDATE: 6:05 p.m. PST 3-19-2011
A spokesman from the IAEA told CNN this afternoon that trace levels of radiation have been detected across the United States, with the first measurable levels showing up in Sacramento. The IAEA said that the exact measurements could not be released because of international treaties.

The spokesman said that the amount of radiation hitting the U.S. is too small to cause any health problems but admitted that if the reactor keeps emitting radioactive particles, the situation may have to be reassessed.

  1. I still haven’t heard of the nature of the fall out yet. What kind of plume is coming, uranium, MOX, cesium,… what?

  2. Our gov’t LIED to us??? I’m SHOCKED…
    Seriously, I’m saving my shock for when I find out they actually decide to tell us the truth for once.

  3. “No harmfull levels will hit the US” is what they actually said, so they didn’t lie, they just covered their own asses.

  4. Our government almost always either lies to us or doesnt do what they say they will do which I guess would be lying. Our government usually doesnt care about thir people but only their control and their power. they dont want to tell us any truth because they dont want to deal with the reaction people would have about it. Reason why I am moving out of this country. and im sure every government lies to its people but not like the US does

  5. My immediate concern is the possibility that the plume hitting the u.s will contain plutonium particles . How do we protect ourselves and our children from becoming contaminated ? Not to mention long term exposer via food chain etc . Anyone know the composition of the plume or where to find the info please post it . Good luck and stay healthy

  6. In response to the above request: “Anyone know the composition of the plume”. Go to Dr. Apsley’s site: (doctorapsley.com) and click on “radiation toxicity. This is the best site I have found. He details the various components of nuclear fallout, how they effect the various organs of the body, and most importantly, how to protect and detoxify oneself.

    Good luck and stay healthy!

  7. So today I was Driving down the 101 south Hwy in San Luis Obispo, California…When I see a Halliburton truck with a Radioactive Hazard sign. I am sure they are on the Central Coast here to test for Radioactive Partials from Japan. This following information comes from the Diablo Canyon plant near San Luis Obispo: “The number registering with the equipment at Diablo Canyon is 6.35 x 10 to the minus 13 micro curies per cubic cm, or .000000000000635.” I would limit prolonged exposure outside and eating fresh picked produce for the next week or so, but then again that’s just me.

  8. Where are they getting there info, the UN has had specialists assess the situation and they are even syaing its safe. Japan of all countries understands radiation. We are in no danger there is no danger this is our governments way of trying to put in wind power and destroy this country more

  9. I want to eat seaweed each day and to give my child the protection as well. BUT, seaweed comes from Korea and Japan-is it still safe to buy? Does the ocean dilute tha radioactive moleules or is seaweed not attracted to them?Please, if you can help with this, I would appreciate it so much. Thank you for these posts. Peace and love to all.

  10. REMEMBER the movie 2012? Only the rich elite and politicians were allowed to survive and the average people were left to die and never were told what was happening til it was too late.
    Does any of this sound familiar? I sure hope I’m wrong.

  11. I started thinking radiation when the news reported ‘SUPER BUG’…325 CASES IN CALIFORNIA. Maybe just one antibiotic will work to combat it. I thought that it is radiation and people are getting sick NOW. Our government is probably calling the radiation a super bug. What do you suppose would happen if they report that we are getting bombarded with radiation???? Every person would start buying groceries to store, water, batteries, etc. We truly need to get over there and HELP JAPAN. Who cares about Libya when we all will start losing our hair, get sores on our skin and finally die. I am soooo tired of our government telling us lies. They don’t care about us. We are their slaves who pay taxes so they can live high off the hog and spend the rest on wars we shouldn’t be in. OUR PRESIDENT NEEDS TO STAY OFF THAT JET AND GET BUSY HERE AT HOME. Gasoline prices won’t matter much if we are all dead.

  12. You are so lucky because you are so so so far away from japan!!!
    I am a chinese, and my country is very close to japan. what should we do? Trust GOV ? I am not sure……

    In fact, we all know the situation is very terrible. but we can not do anything about it. We only can hope god bless us

  13. I’ve always been interested in solar and wind and geo-thermal. I enjoy working the land and I’m learning more about farming everyday. we have a green house and we have a rain barrel system to collect rain water.I may not be the smartest person in the world,but the one thing I do know about nuclear energy, here’s a by product that will kill you.It’s the gift that keeps on giving. I read were they cleaned up the material on those South Pacific island and made a done and put all of the radioactive material inside.they put a sign on the top warning future generations not to open this bunker or your die. Thanks for letting me sound off. God Bless and take care. Solar today and tomorrow doesn’t make me anti-american!!

  14. Here is a EPA page you can go to that still has the historical graphs of the ‘Gross Beta Air Monitoring Data’ from all the cities they have balloons in. HARD COPY THEM BEFORE THEY ARE GONE.

    http://www.epa.gov/radiation/rert/radnet-data-map.html

    Click on some of the western states balloons like Billings, MT, Las Vegas, NV, Rich-land, WA, Rapid City, SD, Bakersfield, CA, Grand Jct, CO, Salt Lake City, UT. If you look at the pattern of a bunch of them, starting from the west, you will notice that just before the Japan quake there were huge spikes in the days prior to the horrible Event on the 11th.

    Again…look at the pattern on these graphs that shows spikes before the Mar 11th quake that is marked by a black line on the Gross Beta Air Monitoring Data graphs and especially Billings, Mt and Rich-land, WA. The question is, why were there spikes that were even higher then what is coming in now and WHY was no one told? Where did all that come from? Was there a radiation release before the quake and what could have caused that? What was in it? Last, why did the pres go south PDQ after all this happened?

    Please check this out and share it if you choose to. Everyone is all concerned about what has seemingly become the new norm now, when it appears that we have been getting hit with some thing from some where for some time.

  15. well the good news is that the super high radiation will be on the LEFT coast and as far as i’m concerned if it don’t kill ya then i hope it at least makes you lefty assholes sterile!
    Now we all know the media lies and we sure as shit know the government lies so tell me punks how safe do ya feel???
    ba ha ha ha ha ha ; ) :)

  16. Take it from a guy who lives in Japan, was in tsunami Evacuation, and ran with his family on the open road for a month….

    Today, June 15.

    Kind of sad to see so many entities misleading the public by reporting measured nuclear fallout readings in Tokyo like they are talking about the rising and falling temperatures in a weather report. Worse is when some agency or idiot tries to compare the current measured readings in Japan to ‘’natural radiation’’ or to the radiation a passenger is exposed to and receives on a transatlantic flight. The comparisons are not the same.

    The facts that should be reported are that we are inhaling and consuming contaminated man-made particles along with a whole list of other radioactive particle contaminates that have yet to be identified due to many of them requiring separate methods of testing in order to be identified and measured in a lab. These contaminates remain in the body for years. The Nuclear disaster in Japan is nothing like sitting in front of your computer, exposing yourself to the sun, or absorbing natural radiation emitted by the environment around us.

    Take Cesium 137, one of the radioactive contaminates found in the breast milk of nursing mothers in Chiba. Keep in mind that the women’s organization that did the independent testing confirmed that the nursing mothers were in fact consuming bottled water, not tap water as the Japanese authorities reported. Speaking of water, back in May, up in Yamanashi (Mountain Pear) prefecture, where the reservoir that holds the water supply to Tokyo and Yokohama is located and fed by multiple tributaries and streams, up to 800 Becquerel of cesium 137 contamination was found on small samples of the tea leaves tested, (unsafe by all standards for adults and children)…then, it rained hard…So, where does all that cesium particle contamination mixing with rain go? Downhill perhaps? Except, that particular reservoir is only getting two litters of sampling for radioactive contamination a day that is trucked all the way down to a Yokosuka lab for analysis. Wow, Cesium is a particle contamination…. Two litters out of billions of consumed gallons!!!!

    So, considering we are dealing with particle contamination, do the measurements around Tokyo go up and down due to them blowing around? Are you inhaling and eating them, absorbing some of them into your eyes? Or, are they magically disappearing and coming back again like the rise and fall of the temperature throughout the day?

    One thing is for certain:

    Tsukiji Fish Market Tokyo (you know, the one that tourist gather and watch them bid on the fish), April 10, 2011…soil sample collected….1161 Becquerel per kilogram per soil sampled….

    Katori-Jinja (Tokyo)…April 27, 2011….7110 Becquerel/kg per soil sample

    Chiba Monorail Tendai Station…April 11, 2011…4980 Becquerel/Kg per soil sample.

    Senritsu-Idai (Medical Collage)…although Fukushima is a scary name, it is located outside the mandatory evacuation zone…children playing in the dust and going to school…..March 19, 2011….27,600 Becquerel/kg per soil sample.

    Remember, cesium is man-made, has 30.17 years half-life…turns gamma in decomposition…and blows in the wind…

    So Mote it Be…
