If you ignore RADIATION it will go away.

Some note worthy quotes.

Fukushima’s owner, Tokyo Electric (Tepco), says that within as few as 60 days it may begin trying to remove more than 1300 spent fuel rods from a badly damaged pool perched 100 feet in the air. The pool rests on a badly damaged building that is tilting, sinking and could easily come down in the next earthquake, if not on its own.
Some 400 tons of fuel in that pool could spew out more than 15,000 times as much radiation as was released at Hiroshima.
Overall, more than 11,000 fuel assemblies are scattered around the Fukushima site. According to long-time expert and former Department of Energy official Robert Alvarez, there is more than 85 times as much lethal cesium on site as was released at Chernobyl.

OH, right. I goofed this thread about the Fukushi-Eyed Salmon. Surely the least of our worries.

I have read about an algae that was discovered shortly after the accident that seems to thrive on this material. It is a concentrator and a contaminator, so what? :)

I had just read some news articles that were basically saying "oh its ok, no need to panic. It will be two years before it hits our shores." The articles talking about TEMPCO trying to clean up their mess (and doing a horrible job) has no mention of foreign aid. We send millions of dollars in weapons to countries all over the globe, yet we have noone sending help to contain radioactive waste leaking into the ocean? WTF?
I don't think the problem is lack of money. They just don't know how to fix it.

Damn... Living on the beach is like recieving 4x the max amount a nuclear power plant worker is allowed to recieve in a year. That is fricking crazy.
Radioactive materials occur naturally. One of the reasons Earth took so much longer to cool from its' molten state than say Mars was the higher concentration of radioactive material. The interior of the Earth is still molten. Mars's interior froze, ending its magnetic field. Then the solar wind slowly removed its' atmosphere.

You are sure, then, that we don't use DU for area denial? You quite sure you know ALL about it?
Your argument that I can't prove we don't doesn't support your contention at all. You been taking lessons from BuckHead?

You said it was happening, not "possible". Where did I say that? You still sound like BuckHead.
Well, OK. To be fair, did you not say, that DU is only used in rounds and not sprayed willi-nilly?

And of course, you may not bother to know.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/adam.htm
ADAM is an antipersonnel mine activated by deployed trip lines. There are 36 wedge-shaped mines contained in the 155-mm projectile. Minefield density can be selectively determined by altering the number of rounds applied. There are currently three densities: low, medium, and high. The mines are expelled from the projectile (approximately 600 meters) over the designated target. Shortly after ground impact, up to seven trip line sensors are released out to a maximum length of 20 feet. The detonators are armed to fiction in the event of any small disturbance. The ADAM mine has lethality out to 15 feet. Self-destruct times are 4 hours for short self-destruct (M731) and 48 hours for long self-destruct (M692).

The ADAM and PDM are not of the kinetic energy "penetrator" type design. These munitions contain an extremely small amount of DU and not categorized as "DU ammunition". The resin which forms the body of the ADAM mine wedge contains a small amount of DU in the "hardener" portion of the resin. The DU is less than 0.15% (0.024 oz) of the total resin and is present only as a chemical agent that allows the resin to cure at less then 160°F in less then 12 hours. These cure characteristics are required to efficiently produce the mine and to protect the electronic components during manufacture.
-----------------

And when they self destruct they spray DU willi-nilly. And of course, being artillery, they are indeed laid willi-nilly.

the company that ran fukushima has been covering up exactly how much radiation was being released up until a few months ago. The true levels were only discovered because of independent scientists who were taking readings of the ocean around japan.

This company also has ties with the japanese gov't so nothing will likely ever come of the cover up.

More than anything I feel for the local people who have been and still are living close to the plant and have no where to go.
The Japanese have a history of not releasing appurtenant and honest information to their people. So I'm not surprised.

We came close to our own meltdown. If interested the name of the book is The Day We Almost Lost Detroit by John Fuller. Scary. Canadians would not have appreciated it.
My brother said this is 100% true.
