Melting Cores & Failing Markets

The world is, hate to say it, being 'snookered' by Japan. As in "bamboozled, beguiled, bluffed, buffaloed, burned.. and the list goes on here. The charade of "everything is normal" is just not so and much of the media is complicit in the act by failing to demand lots of data - not just the government sanitized figures. Reading at altitudes would be nice, for example, because that way the "winds pushing stuff out to sea" which runs the risk of entering the jet stream, could be properly evaluated. The markets today are starting the discounting process to factor that possibility into market prices.

Understating the seriousness of three reactors in meltdown alert is unconscionable. The data from the International Atomic Energy Agency is this (pay attention to the highlighted data):

"At 00:00 UTC on 15 March a dose rate of 11.9 millisieverts (mSv) per hour was observed. Six hours later, at 06:00 UTC on 15 March a dose rate of 0.6 millisieverts (mSv) per hour was observed.

These observations indicate that the level of radioactivity has been decreasing at the site.

As reported earlier, a 400 millisieverts (mSv) per hour radiation dose observed at Fukushima Daiichi occurred between units 3 and 4. This is a high dose-level value, but it is a local value at a single location and at a certain point in time. The IAEA continues to confirm the evolution and value of this dose rate. It should be noted that because of this detected value, non-indispensible staff was evacuated from the plant, in line with the Emergency Response Plan, and that the population around the plant is already evacuated.
