Fukishima update: Leak

Hottest thing next season is the Oneill 4/3 with radiation blocking neoprene and fast dry technology. Plus if you glow in the dark night surfing is no problem.

 

You may want to look up the amount of radioactive isotopes released ber nuke test, and multiply that by the massive number of nuke tests. It isn't exactly one and done. As I scientist, I know that we continually released radiation in the South Pacific from the 40's until the late 70's. as for your 'truth', you present some decent articles, then make your own doomsday scenarios. That does not count as truth. I presented maps, from an independent study, that shows radiation spread throughout the oceans over the next few decades. These are predictions based on known current models and results from previous radioactive contamination. I trust these, and they show no immediate danger to the mainland US. When you find a reputable study that shows something different, I will listen. No Archy predictions, just models and data. We have been through this before.

 

Safe by what standards?

Shortly after? If you consider 40 years a short amount of time.

If anyone deserves to be pissed at our government, it is the natives of the Bikini Atoll.

FYI, Chernobyl is only unsafe in certain areas. There are people living there now, though they have to be careful where they go and what they eat. The problem with that meltdown, was that they improperly contained it. It also doesn't have the benefit of seawater cooling and ocean dispersion.

 

here we go again

 

Dude, I hear you on this, but are you aware of the sheer immensity of the ocean? It's unfathomable

 

Alright, next time I order some Pacific tuna at my local sushi joint I'll be sure to request a side of iodine tablets.
Also, I was unaware of the technology that alllows us to determine the source of radioactivity from thousands of miles away

 

Too Much Iodine

There are many dangers associated with taking iodine supplements, especially without consulting a physician first to determine what your specific condition is. The Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (Mayo Clinic) explains that the problem with a thyroid conditions might not be a lack of iodine in your diet, but a lack of ability for your thyroid to absorb the iodine you are eating.

Taking more iodine supplements would not solve this problem, but it could overload your body with iodine and cause serious iodine poisoning of seizures, vomiting, delirium and other short-term problems. Just like having too little iodine can cause problems, too much iodine can also cause goiters and in extreme cases, permanent damage to your intestines and brain.

 

"These pills only protect you against radioactive iodine, and we have seen only a little in the way of radioactive iodine being released [in Japan]," Williams said. "Given the fact that it has a very short half-life, it's close to zero that any radioactive iodine of any quantity that would do any harm would end up on U.S. shores."

 

Well, archy, you have been pissing approximately 95% of that vitamin C out every day

 

it's a lot worse than THEY are willing to tell us. If it is, how would the nuclear industry create jobs?

achy and brew at it again... i love this keep it going yall and you know what brew..archy pmed me and said your a rockafeller kook drunk.

 

So I assume if something hasn't hurt your body, it is ok for everyone? Well shucks, lets just stop clinical trials and research on everything. We can just use archy. Silly medical researchers have been wasting money and time all these years.

 

I like Mr. Brewengineer.....

I like Archy........

I like when they debate things.

Hey, you got Archy in my Brewegineer........
Well, you got Brewengineer in my Archy......

I know we all got different tastes, but why does this manner of discourse upset people? Compared to the other stuff? Just don't pop this thread if you ain't into. Seems pretty simple to me, but what do I know? Jeez, people may even learn something on here - besides the other wonders of the universe discussed on here. Man, I just saw a doozy a few minutes ago.......

Hey, would Californians even be affected by radiation? Would they even notice? (Disclaimer: I'm just joking. Any offensive language directed towards California residents was purely coincidental/unintentional, and does not necessarily reflect the opinions of the network or it's afilliates.)

 

Oh dear god. Everything is a conspiracy with you. Look up the subject. The Mayo clinic is not the only group warning about using iodine pills when you don't need them. The fact that you, someone who is paranoid about every chemical in foods, would suggest people add something to their bodies that is not needed beyond the levels found in an appropriate diet, is downright hypocritical.
