Nuclear Expert: 50,000 sq. miles of Japan contaminated…Many millions need evacuation…

But if you want to inquire as to why, as I've mentioned to you, some 2.4 petaBecquerels of radioactive material have fallen on Japan, that material has been dispersed, contaminating Tohoku, Kanto, and western Japan. So in addition to the law setting the legal limit for exposure at 1mSv/yr, there is another law that states that absolutely nothing may be removed from a radioactive management area in which the levels exceed 40,000 Becquerels per square meter.

So the question becomes how many places or how much area has been contaminated beyond 40,000 Bq/m2? And according to the investigations, that answer is 140,000 km2 [54,054 square miles]. The entirety of Fukushima prefecture has been contaminated to where all of it must be declared a radioactivity management area. Indeed, while centered on Fukushima, parts of Chiba and Tokyo have also been contaminated. The number of people living in what must be called a radiation-controlled area is in the millions, and could exceed ten million.

It can't be called "fearmongering" when it's just flat-out, straight-ahead science. For those who want "doom porn", this is it. The only problem is, the term "doom porn" is usually associated only with fantasy. The situation in Japan is as real as it can get.

Now that David Icke is kosher again at ATS, I can enter his statements concerning Japan into the record (so to speak). What was Icke's conclusion concerning Japan, you ask?

"Japan is over." - David Icke

Japan is a tragic example of what can and likely will happen to other nuclear countries.

As for Mr. Icke, I'm quite certain I said after the incident that Japan was #ed. You don't need to be a soothsayer.

Ironically enough, Mr. Icke looks like a reptile in this video.

There's a lot of anti Icke people but honestly I like the guy.

Or I used to like him more anyway his new stuff is questionable I think he lost his edge.

Either way I still like a lot of his ideas if their really his.

As apposed to his 'old' stuff.. The Reptilian agenda.

Never mind should have read the link

Square miles not linear? Not read the post yet.

Yes I just saw that and edited my post.. My fault for not reading the link first.

Looking at the article.. It's amazing how much of Japans nuclear facilities are built along the coast.. Is that really a good idea in a high earthquake zone with dangers of tsunamis..

Show me a nuclear facility that isn't built near a source of water, they need water for cooling and it's much more cost efficient and reliable to build near to water than have to pump the water from miles away.

Yes of course. . Jeez my brain just isn't working right today..

Who will take the refugees? Syria, Iraq or Mexico? For real though, is there enough room in Japan for relocation?

It is a 'zone' that will continue to spread over time and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Because their is no cleaning stuff up thats smaller than atoms, the 'half-life' of some of these fission by products are long lived (thousands of years in some cases) and the natural systems of earths biosphere (wind, wave, erosion and biological) is designed to spread nutrients (and toxins) around to sustain life. Which accumulates them incorporating whatever elements (stable or not) into our own internal systems.

The very first paragraph of this piece makes it clear that this is a crusader with an extremely biased opinion.

I am all for the reduction of Nuclear power (hopefully to see it replaced by a genuine safer alternative), but come on guys, it's clear that this is pretty much nothing more than an anti-nuclear propaganda piece.

If you know anything about Nuclear science you can see within minutes that people like this offer extremely selective "facts" and cherry-picked information to push their agenda.

Once again, I'm all for an end to nuclear, but this is so biased it makes even me entirely uncomfortable.

Japan should have been destroyed a long time ago considering they've never respected the other people living in this world. I just recently found out from an old Phillipino guy that the Japanese used to give their troops METH! to keep fighting at night while opposing forces slept. They blindly accept evil at the promise of innovation. Recently killing over 200 pregnant whales in the name of "research".... f^ck em all. The wartime atrocities alone are enough to warrant execution of the country. All of their anime reflects a war torn world where only they, their demons, and their robots survive, it's demented. I visited the Pearl Harbor memorial in recent years and I could not believe the amount of Japanese tours being given in Japanese.... I've been in the military 15 years and I can definitively tell when a foreigner is talking #. I could see it in the Japanese tourists eyes that they were proud of what they had done. Now they've killed off and poisoned more animals than people care to count. Did you know they block their faces from the sun to avoid getting tans as to not be confused with the "working class?" In their culture, a tan usually means you were a poor farmer. If there was a single button to push and destroy the entire country, all people included, I would gladly push it.

It appears that the oligarchy has scheduled such for a neighborhood near most of us.

How they became so deluded as to think that they can escape the hazards of pulling their house down around their own ears and ankles remains to be proven, discovered in any detail.

However, arrogance, raw, Olympic class arrogance has a way of deluding such folks into thinking that they are invincible and beyond the consequences of their own evil saturated black hearts.

They are wholesale wrong.

Thankfully, their destructions of the planet will not win out . . . though it may look otherwise for some years to come, yet.

Damn! How do you really feel?

A Filipino is from the Philippines. I only bring that up because it is part of my response to the topic. Not the grammar police, here.

I currently live in the Philippines and one thing I have worried about is if that radiation could be have contaminated the ocean and the fish I eat. I don't know exactly where the Filipino fishers catch all of their fish. Japan isn't terribly far away, though.

To get the best out of Icke,listen to his videocasts which he posts on Youtbe every week.
They usually round up the stories going on in the media and what's really happening from his point of view.

So now Icke is a nuclear expert?

Not even close...

Not all nuclear power plants are inherently dangerous. You can thank hanoi jane and others like her for the fact that we are not allowed to use the safest most efficient types of power plants in this country. The reason is because these plants "can" be used to create weapons grade materials. But they also run more efficiently and not only do not generate waste in the form of spent fuel rods, they run on the spent fuel rods from other nuclear plants.

Uncontrolled sustained fission (melt down) is not possible with this type of plant. Once the primer fuel has been consumed sustained fission requires the introduction of a moderator, typically deuterium oxide, into the core. This facilitates the creation of thermal neutrons which bombard the non-fissionable portions of fuel rods (approx. 97% by volume) and mutates them into fissionable mass which is then consumed in the reactor releasing more fast neutrons which encounter the moderator and become thermal neutrons and the cycle continues. In the event of an emergency all you have to do is flush the moderator out of the core and fission will end when the present fuel is exhausted. It can not continue spontaneously.

What happened in Japan is a nightmare by any standard. Building near the ocean is both a necessity and a risk. The stress of seismic activity is, at least to some degree, taken into consideration in the design of the plant. Tsunami on the other hand are too unique to be effectively planned for. General precautions can be made but nothing to counter specific conditions as they are too variable to consider in a permanent construction plan.

Remedial action will depend on the degree of permeation. After this much time, I fear that is a moot point.
