Robert, the truth is poisoning the water on the planet, poisons the planet. The planet is 75% water. Get a clue!

Actually Pryor, at the top of the article it said Cesium, and leaking at 2.35 billion Becquerels per liter.

One Becquerel = 1 disintegration per second. So 1 liter of water is radioactive at a rate of 141 billion disintegrations per minute =63.5 milliCuries.

Since 3.5 microCuries = 1 milliRem dose rate on contact we get 1815 mIlliRem per hour contact dose rate per liter. As a comparison the average American receives a dose of 400 milliRem per year.

In TEPCO’s defense, this is the activity going into the ground water, not necessarily the activity of the ground water itself where it is going out into the sea.

It’s irradiated water, not radioactive material. There’s a huge difference. And no mention of the type of radiation – not all radiation is created equally (In fact, you have gamma decay going on in your body right now)

I would not hesitate to eat japanese fish at this time.

Hey, Pryor – why don’t YOU have a bite of that tuna or mackarel fish from Japan?

Then you can report to us – whether it was beta or gamma nuke or whatever you chewd and swalloed…

“don’ t panic, don’t panic…” He shouts when 200,000 (!) tons of radioactive shit has been dumped into the Pacific.

And all we heard was – “everything is under control, kids…”

Ditto Irene. The haters are always a comment away from spilling their vile comments toward Obama.
