Four of the Fukushima 1 nuclear plant reactors are now in partial meltdown with reactors 5 and 6 also expected to. The spent (although still radioactive) fuel rod storage area is no longer contained or cooled resulting in the majority of the radiation being emitted currently.

Due to elevation in places such as Denver, I believe they are exposed to about 3 Sieverts a year. IIRC, most of them are still alive
Stabbings are higher.

@ZOJ, hes dribbling shit, he knows nothing about nuclear power, how its contained and how it would effect anyone if it were leak. His information is from Wiki and overhyped news articles.

@moll, I didnt express a certain aspect of love to china in my post, i simply expressed the fact that china is doing a lot more that Australia has done to help the Japanese people. All i said was that all global crises present an opportunity for countries to prove how good they are in the global arena.
Everyone keeps on saying that the fukushima meltdowns are not severe in any sense, but the reality is that this has happened and it presents itself to have had a major impact on the peoples mental state and the Japanese economy.

ugh fucking last night i watched 9 news while at work

they had simulations showing where the nuclear fallout will land haha fuck




also most irritating

people outside the nuclear community complaining that

- they arent being informed of the situation enough
- that the japs arent doing enough to overcome this

fucking what

what do you need to be informed about? there is NO literally no danger to anyone outside the exclusion zone, and even within the plant there are no fatal levels of radiation

and fuck me dead, the most brilliant minds in science and engineering are working on this problem right now. each of them with more intelligence than the average daily telegraph readers collective family

@zombie omie jay and all of the other retards that neg repped me because of my comments, do you not understand the concept of a nuclear meltdown??
are you guys like mentally incapable of understanding simple terminology??
The people that were brave enough to go into the plants now know that the radiation that they have been subjected to will kill them...they are going to DIE!!!!
This is worse than the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown...the site had been closed for 35 years and people are still breeding genetically deformed children...dont you people understand this concept of genetic mutation and cancer??
you mentally retarded people are going on about how these people in Fukushima are only being subjected to radiation which is less than the amount that we are subjected by by an X-ray machine....we are only allowed to get x-rayed a certain number of times a year because of the damage that the radiation does to our bodies...these people ar ebeing subjected to the amount of radiation from an x-ray machine every minute of the day!!! you do the math, but obviously you cant because you people dont understand the severity of the issue...you put forward the most stupid arguments against the people that believe that Fukushima meltdown is a major issue...you make fun of the fact that these disasters in japan have affected the economy. Dont you watch the news? people are hungry..5600 people are dead so far, they dont have enough petrol anymore for all of the people that want to get out of Tokyo.
You dont care because you are heartless arseholes who dont know shit about the catastrophe and its effects on the people. They had a news report on the ABC this morning saying that 2 people have to share one ball of rice. People havent eaten for days, they are searching for dead family themselves.
The only way that you will ever understand the severity of the issue is if this happened to you. You people are animals. Shame on you. Show some sympathy for the japs who have gone through so much pain and suffering!

I know what you are saying. Most of them are not 'mentally retarded' and are quite intelligent yet choose to act as if they were 'mentally retarded' as they find it fun.

Thank you davidbarnes!! you seem to be the only person talking sense in this thread. For all of you people who want facts,

Radiation Exposure Risk Explained

As Fukushima Daiichi continues to leak radiation, a 30-mile no-fly zone was set up around the reactor site. Residents within 10 km of the nuclear power plant have been evacuated. Residents living between 10 and 30 km of Fukushima Daiichi have been told to stay indoors. Sales of Geiger counters have soared. If you live near Fukushima Daiichi and you bought a Geiger counter, make sure you know how to use it: How to Read a Geiger Counter.


How much radiation exposure is too much? While it's true that we are exposed to radiation all the time, the amount is tiny. Absorbed radiation is measured in millisieverts (mSv). An eight-hour flight exposes you to .085 mSv. A chest x-ray exposes you to 10 mSv.


Radiation Levels at Fukushima Daiichi are Dangerous

The maximum level of radiation detected at Fukushima Daiichi has been 1,500 mSv (1.5 sieverts), with exposure levels at 400 mSv per hour (far mroe than an x-ray machine)!!!!!!!


According to the World Nuclear Association, 1,000 mSv (1 Sv) is the threshold for causing immediate radiation sickness over a short period of exposure, but will not be fatal. Still, that level of radiation is dangerous: those exposed can face illness and health problems later in life.

"do you not understand the concept of a nuclear meltdown??"

Meltdown is not a term for anything specific so please enlighten us with your understanding.

"The people that were brave enough to go into the plants now know that the radiation that they have been subjected to will kill them...they are going to DIE!!!!"

Um no they arent. The maximum radiation detected inside the complex was 1000 mSv/hr. This level of radiation will give you radiation sickness in >1hr exposure and is 100% non fatal. No one has ever died from 1 Sv exposure.

The workers are working in 15 minute shifts so that the maximum radiation they are exposed to is 250 mSv/hr. This is not a harmful level. Studies have not shown a significantly increased level of cancer from this amount of radiation. Nevertheless, the men chosen to perform these tasks are older men who wont contract cancer in their lifetime as a result of this exposure because they will pass away naturally before a cancer can develop from this exposure.

"we are only allowed to get x-rayed a certain number of times a year because of the damage that the radiation does to our bodies"

What damage does 250mSv/hr radiation do to your body? Please enlighten me.


"you make fun of the fact that these disasters in japan have affected the economy."

Where has anyone said this?


"Dont you watch the news? people are hungry..5600 people are dead so far, they dont have enough petrol anymore for all of the people that want to get out of Tokyo.

Are you a moron? This is my whole point.

- the nuclear issue is a non issue compared to the scale of the rest of the tragedy and it is frustrating that the media is giving so much attention to the nuclear power plant when it is of such little importance compared to the rest of the disaster.

You are so dumb.

yes thankyou for explaining what i already knew

you just admitted that the level of radiation is non fatal and not dangerous

hahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha ugh andrew bolt

I started reading his blog because everyone on the left of centre on the internet went apeshit
Lets face the reality - Academia is lost, nearly all the educational institutions are lost in the West - they all have a green, leftist meme; thats why [Bolt's blog] is so important. In reality it is socialism, not by stealth anymore and when Garnaut openly says it is wealth redistribution, it is. A lot of people resonate with this phiolosophy - it seems you get something for nothing; BUT you have to get that wealth from those ‘evils’ that have it. A push for a 1 world government is also on the agenda and the most pressing way to realise that dream is natural disasters & environmental damage. BUT the good news is that Russia, China and the Muslim nations of the world will never join in the party - they make the right noises, but just laugh as the West destroys itself. The best of times; the worst of times!

B+ (should contain mentions of jews and lizards)

Reading bolt's blog on a troll, just trolling yourself.
