Re: [meteorite-list] 8.9 Quake in Japan, 10 meter Tsunami, Hope Dirk and others are ok
Hi, The facts are, as of a minute ago, that there has been no containment vessel breach in any of the reactors. Therefore, there has been no significant release of radiation. Nobody...nobody.. has received an exposure that would cause any measurable harm. I don't care what you've read, seen, or heard. I wouldn't exactly call 1.06 Sv/hr 'no significant radiation' .. (this was measured outside the plant). but your right, the media have been making some pretty silly statements, but then it's not exactly helped by the 'lack' of accurate info coming from the Government of Japan either!

Dear Count, Thanks for the information on the situation in Japan. I'm under the weather today and at home under the covers with a rotten cold that I can barely see straight or type and the light hurts my eyes. I've always thought of you as an intelligent man and still do, but when you mentioned in your post I was shocked at Sheppard Smith's opener yesterday on Fox. I thought why is he watching that station. I still believe you're intelligent, but it took me a minute to figure out, who the heck Sheppard Smith was, and then it clicked he was on that station with the angry people that are always yelling, since I watch CNBC or Bloomberg News or CNN or PBS or MSNBC my local stations. There is such mindless drivel on Faux noise. I'm sure you just caught the story while flipping channels to get the latest. I've had friends and a relative that worked for Faux and I know that each morning they are given Talk Points and told to try to stay on point to try and grind down the viewers into believing every bit of yellow journalism they can spew out. It's their mission to make every viewer and especially every white person hate Obama and want him impeached, just like they did with Clinton and to push their right-wing republican viewpoint on their viewers. There's a reason that most intelligent people call it the Unfair and Unbalanced network and also call it Faux Noise Channel and FUX noise it's a worthless cesspool of right-wing conservative propaganda written to rot the minds of those that are transfixed by the smell of imbeciles like bill O'Really, sean hannity and glen becKKK. There's a reason they call themselves The Tea Party, because it sounds nicer than RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC, LOW WAGE REPUBLICANS! I understand you were making a comment towards that Sheppard character, and the crap he was spewing out to scare the viewers into running towards their bunkers that glen becKKK has told them to build. Here's hoping you find a station that has real News, not one that they give talking points on every morning and are asked to follow and preach the gospel of ignorance.

Things that one can not imagine. I agree that the public needs to know the truth so that they can prepare for any situation that may arise.

No details from him about damage but the Tsunami was devastating along the coastal regions and is now rushing across the Pacific...buildings in major cities have survived remarkably well it seems...hope everyone else in its way will be ok.

Stay safe Dirk! I hope you are nowhere near the Fukashima (sp?) nuclear power plant. I heard they cannot cool the reactor and they are evacuating the facility. It could be another 3-mile Island or Chernobyl. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the quake zone.

There are two chances that any reactor built in a developed country will do a Chernobyl. Slim and None. The liberal media loves to run with this stuff to increase viewership. Politicians demagogue everything nuclear to get re-elected. The result is an electorate with more unfounded fears than a mob of medival peasants.

Hi Count and List, I pray you are correct Count! The situation at Fukashima is getting worse and they are trying to open the valve to release pressure - a bad sign itself.

The leaks referred to are releases from the system into the inside of the containment. Messy and requiring clean-up, but not leaks into the environment. This is an ongoing situation, not yet resolved. Best to read the details.

Just heard on TV and online that the earthquake in Japan was upgraded to 8.9 from 8.8 with 10 meter Tsunamis off the coast. I hope Dirk and others we know in Japan are alright. All the best.
