More Fukushima lies

BBC News - North American scientists track incoming Fukushima plume

But scientists stress that even the peak measurements will be well within the limits set by safety authorities.

Really. Would those be the same safety levels Obama raised last year?

Activist Post: Obama Approves EPA's Higher Radiation Exposure Levels for U.S. Population

According to a statement by PEER (Public Employees For Environmental Responsibility) published on the organization’s website on April 8, 2013, Barack Obama has given final approval for the EPA’s attempt to raise radiation levels in soil and water following “radiological incidents.”

And of course if anyone takes their own gigacounter to the beach and records a 500% increase in radiation levels that's just nonsense right?

Throughout the course of the seven-minute-long clip, a man tests out his Geiger counter radiation detector while walking through Pacifica State Beach outside of San Francisco. At times, the monitor on the machine seems to show radiation of 150 counts-per-minute, or the equivalent of around five times what is typically found in that type of environment.

Has anyone met Shima and if so how does she feel about being insulted in the news?

They're probably related to Fookyu and Fookmi

Oh, so if you put them all together you get the Fookall family?

I think that was the move that won Darmy the mixed doubles final last Friday wasn't it?

A 500% increase in gigas is certainly worth writing home about. That's could be as much as half a tera.

Whether a 500% increase in radioactivity is worth worrying about depends on the baseline it's being compared with. 150 counts per minute is apparently less than you get from flying, so probably not a big deal.

Has anybody met the kind of person who walks on a beach in California with their own personal Geiger counter?

Even I don't have a Geiger counter. Yet.

Sometimes you just can't be too careful.

However, looking at the plumes of fallout from the Nevada atmospheric tests in the 1940s & 50s, I don't suppose there's much to worry about from Fukushima.

Is that in a "we're all fooked so why worry" kind of way?

Is that in a "we're all fooked so why worry" kind of way?

No. It's in a "the amount of radiation, though detectable is still very very tiny". Perhaps the guy with the Geiger counter was smoking a cigarette?
