I read a news story on the record high radiation levels too, but my impression was that they were measured by remote cotrolled robots in the nuclear plant which is well isolated. It's not leaking into the ocean.

I read a news story on the record high radiation levels too, but my impression was that they were measured by remote controlled robots in the nuclear plant which is well isolated. It's not leaking into the ocean.

The water used to continually 'cool' the reactors is finding its way into the ocean. According to the linked article, the amount of contamination is less than thought at the onset, but if the contaminated water was already overwhelming the decontamination process, how will this much more radiation impact the outcome?

The following article was from October 2016

http://www.triplepundit.com/2016/10/fuk ... revisited/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Greenpeace’s famed ship, the Rainbow Warrior, went out to sample the waters around Fukushima in February of this year with former Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Naoto Kan onboard. What they found was that radiation in the seabed off Fukushima “is hundreds of times above pre-2011 levels.” They also found levels in nearby rivers that were “up to 200 times higher than ocean sediment.”

Expressing concern, Ai Kashiwagi, energy campaigner for Greenpeace Japan, said: “These river samples were taken in areas where the Abe government is stating it is safe for people to live. But the results show there is no return to normal after this nuclear catastrophe.”

The areas sampled include the Niida River in Minami Soma, where readings measured as high as 29,800 becquerels per kilogram (Bq/kg) for radio-cesium. (For those new to the subject, a becquerel is a derived unit that measures radioactivity.) More samples taken at the estuary of the Abukuma River in Miyagi prefecture, more than 90 kilometers north of the Fukushima Daiichi plant, found levels in sediment as high as 6,500 Bq/kg. To put that in perspective, recorded levels in the seabed near the plant before the disaster were 0.65 Bq/kg.

So, while we have not yet seen the global-scale consequences some predicted, the situation is indeed bad and getting worse. TEPCO continues to build steel tanks at the rate of three per week, to house a great deal of contaminated groundwater while awaiting decontamination. But according to this PBS documentary, the company will run out of room for more tanks sometime next year. The gravity-fed water filtration system has been effective in removing most contaminants, except for tritium. Tritium is a relatively weak radionuclide with a half-life of 12.5 years, which means it will take about 100 years to fully break down.

The molten nuclear cores in reactors still remain in three reactors. And the site will not be fully stabilized until those are removed. But the radioactivity level in those reactors is far too high for people to enter. TEPCO plans to develop robots to go in and retrieve the molten fuel. The company says that retrieval is estimated to begin in 2020.

Media blackout over “unimaginable” radiation levels detected at Fukushima… MOX fuel melts through reactor floor… half life of 24,000 years
Monday, February 06, 2017 by: Mike Adams

The melted fuel rods which are generating this radiation have apparently bored a hole through the floor of the containment vessel, meaning they may be very close to coming into contact with ground water or ocean water (or may have already struck it). Melting fuel rods also vastly increases the risk of nuclear fuel criticality which could “explode” the deadly radioactive elements into the open atmosphere. Yet nearly the entire mainstream media remains in a complete news blackout over this devastating development that threatens the sustainability of all life in the Northern hemisphere.

It is at moments like this that I seriously feel like humanity has become a planet-wide suicide cult run by incompetent morons. If they all want to drink the Kool-Aid, that’s their choice, but I would prefer they don’t take me with them. For my part, I would actually like to live on a planet that isn’t contaminated and condemned by plutonium-239, cesium-137 and strontium-90.

According to the insanely stupid mainstream media, that somehow makes me crazy. But you and I both know that conforming to the stupidity of the delusional masses has never been a measure of sanity.

Fourteenth: The great destructive force which was to be turned loose on the earth and which the prophets for centuries have been calling the "abomination of desolation" is vividly described by those who saw it in vision. Ours is the first generation to realize how literally these prophecies can be fulfilled now that God, through science, has unlocked the secret to thermonuclear reaction.

"Fukishima Radiation Spikes to Unprecedented Levels Following Possible Breach"

Levels haven't been this high since thge actual meltdown in 2011...!!

Fukushima radiation levels have soared to their highest levels since the triple core meltdown that occured in 2011.

Levels are up to 530 Sieverts per hour, a dosage that would be fatal dozenz and dozens of times over if a human were to be exposed to it.

The previous high was still a very fatal rate of 73 sieverts per hour.
The extremely high levels of radiation described as "unimaginable" by experts - suggest that some of the fuel has escaped.
The truth is that radiation has been decreasing in line with the half life of the radioactive isotopes encountered (about 30.17 years for cesium-137, eight days for Iodine-131). This blatantly dishonest headline and story ignores the fact that no robots have been in this part of the reactor since the incident and that radiation hasn't spiked but has been at this level since the incident without being previously measured.

I don't believe your assessment is correct, brian. The report of 530 sieverts is verified, and reported by Fox News among others, and they also reported that a robot was sent in in, and was destroyed within minutes because of the incredibly high radiation.

Google YouTube Fukushima 2017 to find the Fox News excerpt.

I went to Fox News and here's what I found:
Prior to the exploration that found this radiation level no robot had been that far into reactor two.
No robot was fried. The robots being used would only last about two hours in a radiation environment that high, and this one didn't stick around that long.
Here's the article I referenced: http://www.foxnews.com/science/2017/02/ ... plant.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That article has links to articles at Japan Times and Smithsonian Magazine that say the robot didn't have any sensors onboard to directly measure radiation so the 530 Sv / hr number is an estimate based on noise in the images. Many other articles state that this is the first time that part of reactor 2 has been explored. It should be obvious that the closer you get to the fuel the higher radiation is going to be.

I thought I would post this article by Dr. Sircus to help others understand the gravity of the situation referred to in LDS literature and spoken word as the "abomination of desolation." (posted above)

Dr. Sircus offers advice on what we can do to protect ourselves. I have been using his protocols for some time now since this disaster. I remember putting zeolite in my garden to suck up the radiation, and washing my vegetable in bentonite to remove radioactive fallout because my first thoughts when this happened in 2011, was that it was possibly a life extinction event. Nobody knows how to deal with this catastrophe. Absent divine intervention, we probably won’t make it, and dying a slow painful death is not my idea of a good time. I have been following his protocols as much as possible, with very good success, and highly recommend you investigate the protocols at his website which includes lead sources to obtain the modalities he recommends.

The Horrible Truth About Fukushima -- Helen Caldicott, MD

Published on Jan 26, 2017

Author and Pediatrician Helen Caldicott takes time out of her busy schedule to join me to discuss the unfolding events at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station in Japan. Fukushima was devastated by a massive earthquake on March 11, 2011 which led directly to a massive failure causing hydrogen explosions which blew the roof off of at least two of the reactor buildings. Tepco and the Japanese government have understated the radiation dangers and the dire reality of the situation from day one.

Helen says, at this point there is no "best case scenario" for Fukushima, just worsening degrees of horror because it's scientifically impossible to clean up what has already occurred. And with thousands of spent fuel rods and thousands more active rods still in the fuel pools of the damaged reactor buildings, the worst case scenario - if another major earthquake hits the area - is an ecological nightmare of biblical proportions for everyone living in the Northern hemisphere.

A Japanese court has found the government guilty of negligence causing the Fukushima nuclear disaster and ordered them to pay tens of millions of dollars in compensation to victims, according to reports from Japan.

The shock ruling opens up the prospect of citizens of Pacific nations including the United States of America receiving compensation from the Japanese government for the disaster which contaminated the entire Pacific Ocean and irreperably poisoned the world’s food chain.

Why is this being ignored by the mainstream media? It might have something to do with the fact that the US and Canadian governments have banned their citizens from talking about Fukushima so “people don’t panic.”

The nuclear plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co. Holdings, was also found guilty of negligence that led to the disaster that nuclear experts say will likely continue affecting wildlife and humans for the next 250,000 years.
Another reason why the "earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory" (A of F 1:10).

So do you think the mess will be cleaned up and the Earth renewed before the New Jerusalem is built? Just wondering, because nobody seems to know how that is possible for at least 250,000 years.
