I mention the Gy figures (Gy means Gray) because if you look on the radiation level charts for Japan, (which can be found via my Fukushima Clouds Link) the authorities give the information in Gy/T. T is the time elapsed since the initial release of radiation. You need to click on the column headed Accumulation.
The following Gy numbers refer to the accumulated absorbed dose rates. They are readings collected from monitoring stations. Also given is a station's name and number and its distance from Fukushima's Reactor1. There are more than 300 monitoring stations in the list.
3 Examples (from today's chart) of Accumulated Gy Levels:
Fukushima (32) 43480.801 (30kms)
Fukushima (1) 24023.400 (40kms)
Fukushima (79) 2431.040 (60kms)
You may draw your own conclusions.
Mine is that the Gy figures will go on increasing (as they must do).
Question:
MAINSTREAM NEWS MEDIA IS STILL TALKING-DOWN THE FUKUSHIMA PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN DOING SO SINCE THE 4TH OR 5TH DAY. WHY?
All I can say Gwilym is that I wish you were a journalist and all this was appearing in a newspaper.
ReplyDeleteI see some people have been arrested near Sellafield today - acting suspiciously. It's only a matter of time, isn't it.
As you say "it's only a matter of time..." and a matter of location. If it's not an earthquake or a tsunami it'll be a volcano or a geomagnetic storm or one of a hundred other things they have obviously failed to take into account....one example - Volcano erupts and clouds of hot ash descend on a couple of reactors in grand Pompeian style - meanwhile a great lava flow gobbles up another one - what then? A few fire engines squirting water onto the scene won't be much use.
