So it seems that the measurement is right...200Sv/h..exposure to such a high level of radiation means certainly death for any living creature


No human or machine can approach a source spewing 200 sievert per hour. It is basically instantaneous death.


But then can somebody explain me why I hear birds singing while watching the live feed?? Shouldn't they be already dead since several weeks ago?? Or maybe they just arrived after a long migration trip??

because this reading is from a meter inside a containment vessel.

That changes the story quite a lot and I should have included this as third option in my post.

Here is Arnie Gundersen's explanation on the design flaws of these reactors. Maybe it will help in the discussion. Have not viewed yet, it was just released....going to view now...

Just saw where Arnie was saying "we now know that Fuku. #1 was cracked and in meltdown BEFORE the tsunami ever hit, the earthquake caused the meltdown...hmmm

May 18 Emergency vents that American officials have said would prevent devastating hydrogen explosions at nuclear plants in the United States were put to the test in Japan — and failed to work, according to experts and officials with the company that operates the crippled Fukushima Daiichi plant. And recently released documents paint a picture of increasing desperation at the plant in the early hours of the disaster, as workers who had finally gotten the go-ahead to vent realized that the system would not respond to their commands.

As the nation struggled with a rescue effort, it also faced the worst nuclear emergency since Chernobyl; explosions and leaks of radioactive gas took place in three reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station that suffered partial meltdowns, while spent fuel rods at another reactor overheated and caught fire, releasing radioactive material directly into the atmosphere. Japanese officials turned to increasingly desperate measures, as traces of radiation were found in Tokyo's water and in water pouring from the reactors into the ocean. A month after the quake, nuclear officials put the crisis in the same category of severity as the Chernobyl disaster. In May, Prime Minister Naoto Kan, who had been criticized for showing a lack of leadership, said Japan would abandon plans to build new nuclear reactors, saying his country needed to “start from scratch” in creating a new energy policy that should include greater reliance on renewable energy and conservation.

I can't find this reported anywhere else except energy news and they're obviously citing the same graph.

Found lots of blog and forum posts but they also link the same info. What's the deal? Anyone able to find an alternate source yet?
