Radnet Realtime Gamma Charts

Here is a link to the Gamma charts---see the Beta charts below, when Fuku and local sources go off, you will see the big moves on the BETA

http://www.epa.gov/radnet/radnet-data/index.html

Man, It is hard to find the right link at the Radnet site, never seen a site so bad.

HERE is the BETA Charts! finally found them. Higgins used to link up these charts on his nicely deisgned site before Hurricane Sandy wiped out his house and servers.

Palisades - Propaganda for the Clunker

Palisades is another Clunker on Lake Michigan. Just like Kewaunee on the Wisconsin side, the clunker Palisades is on the Michigan side. Think if a Fukushima type release into the water occurred in this landlocked Lake....the midwest would be killed and that would probably be enough kill off the American empire.

How can we take these risks? Through greed, we have achieved action akin to insanity. The lure, the promises of power "too cheap to meter" has played out in Orwellian fashion with reality setting in above the propaganda, and Kewaunee is being shut down because it can't compete with Nat Gas and Solar.

Now the NRC is partaking in "communication with the public", to assure them how safe Palisades is....after a series of 4 pipes leaked radiation right through the wall of the pipe...not at a joint, not at a pump, not due to seismic event, just a plain old rust through....like a 1960's car with multiple holes in the radiator and engine block, and yet they want this clunker to live on.

PS Communication = Propaganda

Drop by the NRC website and drop a comment. They are pretty good about not censoring comments that are civilly worded, even if critical.

source for us electric data

EIA good data here, you can download very nice spreadsheets and make some charts Clearly, nuclear is dying, coal is dying, and renewables are rocking.

Radiation Spread in the Pacific, a good model

This model does self admit that they are completely ignoring the effects of bio accumulation, which would make things much worse. Looks like Hawaii is already seeing the ocean impact.

The red zone is 1/1000 times less than the original dispersion in Japan. That doesn't sound all that great considering they just caught a fish with 254,000 Bq per kG at the Fukushima harbor. Anything above 100 Bq/kG is extremely bad. Eating 1kG of this fish is like a total of 2 years of total radiation exposure, and ITS INTERNAL!

Romania Nuke and solar

I just put in 65 solar systems, a massive push. Very tired.

Not enough to knock out a nuke plant, but we have different methods of doing that.

When I think Romania, I think of communist girls pushed to gymnastic heights, not quality nuke operations.....ouch.

Mass Murders by Democrats?

Seen on a blog

1. Ft Hood~~~ Registered Democrat ~ Muslim

2. Columbine ~~~ Too young to vote; both families were registered Democrats and progressive liberals.

3. Virginia Tech ~~~ Wrote hate mail to President Bush and to his staff ~ Registered Democrat

4. Colorado Theater ~~~ Registered Democrat; staff worker on the Obama campaign;
Occupy Wall Street participant; & progressive liberal.

5. Connecticut School Shooter- ~~~ Registered Democrat; hated Christians.

Common thread is that all of these shooters were progressive liberal Democrats.

Also, of the worst killings in the last several decades, only one was a female,
all the rest were boys, barely men, and none of them had a strong male father
or role model in the household. Their role models were rappers, action movies,
comics and violent video games. Our problem isn't weapons, it's boys without
boundaries. Who live in 'progressive' households

Fukushima Lies After the Earthquake

This all sounds like a bunch of doublespeak:
http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/nu/fukushima-np/index-e.html

After the earthquake occurred at 5:18 pm on December 7, 2012, we have conducted checkups at the Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station, and have found there was no problem.
Since we had found positive pressure in the reactor building of Unit 1, we have started Stand by Gas Treatment System* (the pressure was 0.05 kPa at that time of the start), and confirmed negative pressure in the reactor building. The negative pressure has been kept currently. We will conduct inspections for the cause of this matter.

The fluctuation of the monitoring post readings is being maintained within the range of normal fluctuation before and after the earthquake and currently no radiation impact to the outside of the power station has been reported due to the earthquake. The Unit 1 of Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station is under the cold shutdown condition and there is no problem.

Nuke Pro sayeth------
---------------------------------------------------------------
Yep, real doublespeak, you wonder how much is translation related, but obviously simple concept like "no problem" versus.....we found positive pressure, i.e. the coriums remaining in the building were jostled around with the cooling crust broken and the hot underlying corium shaken and stirred and reacting with metals and producing hydrogen and other gases which definitely released alot of radioactive gases, and of course, potentially highly explosive. However, since we can now operate a venting system and eject these radioactive and explosive gases high into the atmosphere through our remaining vent towers, we are able to report that our already fudged radiation monitors at ground level and upwind...well, suffice it to say that we only had to lie a little bit to say "no problem".

By dilution of these radioactive gases into the atmosphere of the HOME PLANET, we have effectively protected the workers at the jobsite, thereby setting up our "get out of jail free card" to prevent lawsuits, and of course we can continue to parrot " no one harmed by Fukushima". Thank Kami-san for science and those tall venting towers, and the fact that the Government is now complicit in the cover up operations since we are effectively nationalized, however the elite at the top can still extract huge salaries and bonuses as if this was a non-zombie company, but after all, we are stressed out so you are lucky we don't just run away.

Ruh-roh, I guess it is winter again...maybe we better check the insulation on the pipes so they don't freeze and leak like last year....but that is messy work, so we will just say that with nuclear power fighting the evil global warming causes by natural gas, that with the global warming that freezing is beyond the design basis, and therefore we can get the ratepayers AND taxpayers to pay us more to cleanup any freeze related mess caused by this mother nature that we can't predict.

Sierra Club takes Stance against Nuke

Why Nuclear Power Doesn't Make Sense

As the disasters at Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and Fukushima have shown, nuclear power can cause catastrophic damage to land, human health, and our food supply. We should pursue our cleanest, quickest, safest, and cheapest energy options first: Nuclear power comes out last in every one of those categories.
In the long-term, nuclear power is also unnecessary: With an intensive effort to exploit our clean energy resources, we can power our society, create good jobs, and keep our environment healthy with renewable energy such as solar and wind. With the right policies and investments, we can achieve 100 percent renewable energy in our lifetimes -- without nuclear power.

Fukushima resources after the Earthquake

Links below are stolen from
http://www.logophere.com/Fukushima%20Resources.htm

AFter Higgins house and website were wiped out by Sandy, I learned the importance of not relying on another website to store link locations. So I will store them here, with credit to the source.

Dec07.12 5:00 am PST The Fukushima hit by 7.3 Richter EQ and 1 m. tsunami. The area has been bouncing along at 5-12 EQ a week for quite a while. Today is the worst since 3/11. Here's what my resources are saying 5 hours after the initial shock.

I see MSNBC report on the latest 7.3 EQ near Fukushima, with 1 m tsunami.

Live TEPCO webcam shows good, clear shot. Everything quiet and looking normal. Helpful

Live TBS webcam is down. Worthless.

TBS historical camera 2012.1207_17.23@2:41-2:49 shows the EQ, no visible effect on the facility. Helpful.

USGS EQ map says 7.3 at 08:18 UTC -- followed by multiple bumps over 6.0 Helpful

ENENews is down at first but comes up. Says nothing. Worthless.

Nicholls EQ map is scrambled.. Worthless.

Jap gov't EQ map -- minimal info. Almost worthless.

Japanese gov’t EQ "predictor" says "No information." Worthless.

Fukishima Diary is reporting in real time, and using the event to beg for money, as per usual. Helpful

Fairewinds says nothing, except begging for money, as usual. Worthless.

JapanTimes says nothing. Worthless

Fukushima Update says nothing. Worthless.

Nuke is a Four Letter Word
