So, will Fukushima make the raid scene moot?

yae plus the iodine pills dont protect u from this type of radiation

What "type" of radiation are you referring to?

Iodine pills prevent radioactive iodine from being absorbed by the thyroid gland and causing cancer. If you ingest water with radioactive particles in it some of these will be radioactive iodine, which is a major component of fission products. Other products will be flushed out normally but iodine is nasty hence the pills.

If this was a real risk, this is ABSOLUTELY what iodine pills are for!!! Any nuclear accident, any dirty bomb or nuclear detonation will produce fission products.

You live in orbit? On Mars?

was being sarcasting =p

I live on the opposite side of the planet practically, maine. and im worried about it...

The fact the American media reported the incident when it happened, and then NOTHING about it afterwards, should give anyone fare reason to be worried. We're all about talking about Weiner's weinerpix (see wutididthere) but marine life dying, radiation flushing into the ocean, low balled efforts to contain a global catastrophe.. nah

Let's conspiracy theory about the Boston Bombings, that one has some juicy misinformations that threw red flags up all over the place to me, but y'all are much more thorough in debunking the BS than I am. I work too much, too tired all the time

I've been reading the tepco press release reports, at this moment they report that they are not flushing any of the radioactive water used in cooling into the ocean, it is properly being treated through reverse osmosis. They have successfully removed fuel rods from unit 4.

The scary part is, there isn't enough natural water to use in the cooling of the rods, they are using condensed sea water which over time will erode the casing on the fuel rods.

They have said however that they may have to start pouring radioactive water into the oceans but at this moment they are not.

This all depends on how much you trust them

Simply put, We're all fucked... and I ain't even an alarmist.

You wont have to worry about eating the fish from the pacific... there wont be many left soon anyway.

Who cares about HARRP or Israeli camera bombs or whatever David Icke and co says is going on. You don't need to be a nuclear scientist to understand that any amount of radioactive waste is bad, let alone 3 years of tons and tons and tons and tons of that shit filtered into the pacific.

at least japan will be destroyed almost instantly, or the populace will die in a very short time period.

like you said we'll have years and years of slow radiation poisoning over here, a long painful death for a lot of people.
