Go back and look at what the readings are for plutonium from Fukushima all the way around the world in Lithuania.

You claim from an anonymous link that is almost 2 years old there was just 2 grams of plutonium released from Fukushima, and I showed you a REAL SCIENCE based article that says plutonium released from Fukushima was so much that it showed up half way around the world.


Yeah, we know you think radiation releases are trivial. So trivial that you argue Denver is as radiated as Fukushima. Yet Art, who lives near there told you you don't know what you are talking about and you just ignored him like you ignored the plutonium in the REAL SCIENCE article I posted.

Link to Art's reply to you:

"For example, here, about 500 feet above sea level 100 miles south of the Dai-ichi complex, the natural radiation level is about 0.09 to 0.1 microsievert per hour. Converted into millisieverts per year (the usual unit used for Denver), that would be approximately 0.7-0.8 millisievert, compared to 10 millisieverts of radon as an annual dose in Denver. However, this map and accompanying graph, which were compiled from February 2013 data, show that there are many hotspots in Fukushima that have much higher radiation levels than Denver (shown with red or darker squares in the map). The hottest spot is the Ottozawa district of Okuma Town, which is still registering more than 30 microsieverts per hour-- which is more than 300 times higher than the ambient radiation level in my city, and more than 26 times higher than the annual dose in Denver."


Plutonium from Fukushima found in Lithuania, Pam. What do you think about that?

What "murder of 8 billion people" are you talking about? wtmusic Feb 2013 #1
I imagine that refers to plutonium exposure. Octafish Feb 2013 #2
Sounds like the seabirds are healthy. wtmusic Feb 2013 #3
According to your way of thinking, wtmusic, plutonium must be good for you. Octafish Feb 2013 #4
Is that what passes for logic these days? FBaggins Feb 2013 #8
Fantastic catch! Octafish Feb 2013 #11
What about him/her? FBaggins Feb 2013 #12
Lady Barbara Judge is the subject of the post. Do you have anything to add about her? Octafish Feb 2013 #13
She's the subject of the thread... not the post. FBaggins Feb 2013 #18
Thanks. Very astute observation, FBaggins. Octafish Feb 2013 #29
This is where EDUCATION is needed.. PamW Feb 2013 #34
I like education Thanks Pam RobertEarl Feb 2013 #35
Spontaneous fission. PamW Feb 2013 #36
Turbine steam was in direct contact with the MOX fuel? RobertEarl Feb 2013 #37
Actually... PamW Feb 2013 #40
Tell us what you think of this, Pam RobertEarl Feb 2013 #41
Sure.... PamW Feb 2013 #43

Denying science again, aren't you, Pam? Yep. RobertEarl Feb 2013 #49
I don't doubt the Lithuaninan scientists.. PamW Feb 2013 #51
Bravo. wtmusic Feb 2013 #38
Pam sure made this clear RobertEarl Feb 2013 #39
You need to cool a reactor.. PamW Feb 2013 #42
Wow, Pam. RobertEarl Feb 2013 #45
Again... PamW Feb 2013 #47
Another profound statement RobertEarl Feb 2013 #50
I'm glad you AGREE!! PamW Feb 2013 #48
She's not suggesting they are thinking about re-starting parts of the Dai-ichi plant is she? AtheistCrusader Feb 2013 #5
Her hiring may be a PR move of the first stank rather than as a professional fixer-upper. Octafish Feb 2013 #6

There's tons spread around the world WITHOUT the bunkers. PamW Feb 2013 #10
That paper was published in 2002. It's a good bet there's a lot more plutonium now. Octafish Feb 2013 #14
WRONG!!! WRONG!!! WRONG!!! Everything you said was 100% WRONG!!! PamW Feb 2013 #15
Uhhh, Pam? You do know this, right? RobertEarl Feb 2013 #16
I hope she doesn't know it... FBaggins Feb 2013 #19

Another straw man? FBaggins Feb 2013 #21

WRONG AGAIN!!! PamW Feb 2013 #25
There are TONS of spent MOX (PLUTONIUM and URANIUM!!!) outside that core in the spent fuel pools. Octafish Feb 2013 #32
Another thread you should review FBaggins Feb 2013 #33
You're kidding, right? FBaggins Feb 2013 #26

Thank you for straightening me out, PamW. Octafish Feb 2013 #17
