Can someone explain that radiation map in more practical terms? What's the amount of RADS that can cause radiation sickness, etc. Or is it expected to ever make it to the East coast?

I pulled that off another forum so I don't know how accurate it is. But here is a site that shows the pac jet stream.

Short video with clips of informations of what happens with the body with different RAD levels.

So up to half of the people exposed to 750 RADS could die without intensive medical treatment. Very scary, but actually very lucky that that amount of radiation is having to cross an entire ocean, instead of going west.

Fukushima nuclear plant was tested to withstand 7.9 quake, not 8.9

Plus I am trying to find this link I saw before, some parts of Japan are separating from each other :/

Jesus. You would think they would make nuclear power plants virtually indestructible from any force of earthquake, especially one in an area so prone to earthquakes .

They were talking about wind directions if the meltdown does happen, towards the land, towards the sea or worst case ... if it rains. EDIT: Found something here about that map http://yournewreality.blogspot.com/ "The Nuclear Fallout Map is fake simply because Australian Radiation Services don't issue such maps. It was likely chosen before ARS offices are closed until Monday, as they are most weekends, making it harder for journalists who decide to pursue it to make contact. This unsourced and likely dodgy chart (nausia?) is also being heavily circulated, on social networking sites, forums and email, along with the fake Nuclear Fallout Map : 0-50 rads - No obvious short-term effects 80-120 rads - You have a 10% chance of vomiting and experiencing nausia for a few days 130 -170 rads - You have a 25% chance of vomiting and contracting other symptoms 180-220 rads - You have a 50% chance of vomiting and having other severe physical effects 270-330 rads - 20% chance of death in 6 weeks, or you will recover in a few months. 400-500 rads - 50% chance of death 550-750 rads - Nausia within a few hours ; no survivors The fake map shows a huge nuclear fallout cloud of 750 rads engulfing millions of Americans by March 22. So, if you were a West Coast living American, the fake map and the above numbers might lead you to believe you and all your family and neighbours will be dying within 6 to 10 days."

I did some research after posting the video and it seems like it was from godlikeproductions.com or something.

I'm still going to have the picture / video up... its like a worst case scenario map I know its like fear mongering.

I know, it's just that as I'm sure you are aware, many people in my country are easily swayed by fear mongering

I just wonder how many people will see it and just pack and move east. Crap why didn't I build my bunker!!!

I think anyone that weak minded already has one

One thing, why don't they build the reactors kilometres under ground?

You mean kilometers under the ground where earthquakes normally hit?

Everything I am hearing is that the containment structure is still intact. They can allow that to vent safely and prevent a catastrophic failure.

True, but if its like 5 km underground any leakage shouldn't reach the surface but I could be mistaken.

I watched this doc on I think its Denmark, they are building a storage facility 2-5 km underground to store spent nuclear fuel. True, they are in an area doesn't get hit with earthquakes of 8.9-9.0.

Storing nuclear material underground is a little different than having a nuclear meltdown underground. After a quake or whatever, all the radioactive shit would get dumped into the water tables, and spread around with no way of stopping it. It would end up all over [whatever] country and then in the ocean eventually.

Thank you for that explanation.

Jesus, those videos are horrible

I have a number of friends in Japan, the most northern is in Nagoya though, So I'm hoping he's alright, emailed him today, and his family who live much further south...

Comments made by americans and the map clearly aiming to scare americans are so annoying. Can't those americans put their racist bullshit aside for a week? fuckin....

Its good that, from the video at least, so many of them got to high ground, and must have had a bit of warning. Doesn't ease the tragedy of losing homes etc, but its good that it looks like a lot of people knew what to do, and weren't caught unawares!

Hope your friends are all ok

Thanks. Just been seeing some vids and pics on Facebook from people right up in northern Iwate and Aomori. Unreal

Hope this guy gets gang raped and left in the gutter

Douchebag has his job title and location posted...hmmm, perhaps an email is in order.

Or we could just give it to the /b/tards and let them sort it
