Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano says: "Now we are talking about levels that can impact human health. I would like all of you to embrace this information calmly. These are readings taken near the area where we believe that the release of radioactive substances is occurring. The further away you get from the power plant or reactor the value should go down".

Same Feed, CNN ver has more vol.

tuned into as well..

I just saw this on Huffingtonpost... Nine Nuclear Reactors Under State Of Emergency

Sendai and that region will be raining and snowing for the next few days ...

Can anything else go wrong with this matter?

After this disaster I think the world community should take a closer look at the nuclear energy all together. The risks are clearly way too high.

PLEASE DONATE TO THE REDCROSS

I know times are abit tough as of late and everyone is getting by. However, please extend our deep hearts and donate. No amount is too small. Collectively we can make a difference!

As if the catastrophes needed to continue. This is really sad. Tuned in right now.

the pics on the Huffington post website are unbelievable... looks like the fucking apocalypse...

my friend says "Fire has been put out I'm hearing"

I really hope they're telling to turth to their ppl, this is not a time to BS at all.

BREAKING NEWS: Small amounts of radioactive substances detected in Tokyo (12:37) - Kyodo news

Holy shit..

this is the most advanced nation on earth..
i have a friend that was there until yesterday for work, she just flew back last night.

Our hearts and minds are all with the people of Japan today.

Please don't post extremeist religious bs like that in here (or other bigotted shit like that bitch complaining about the library).

This is a thread to keep people informed of what's going on over there and to try and get donations in.

I believe in a God but I don't go around preaching nor do I impose my beliefs onto other people. Those that do imo are ignorant etc etc etc. Also prayer for some people is a means of getting rid of some emotional stress so if that helps them good for them. (Some are sane, regular joe schmoes and not like an insane rambling idiot) /end rant.


As for the reactors going crazy, I hope sincerely they contain all of that...

Are you having a laugh? The back-up power to the cooling system didn't work because the plugs didn't fit!!! You're dealing with nuclear material, the most dangerous substance on this planet, so as much brainpower, planning and cost should go into devising foolproof contingency plans, as goes into making the stuff. I think we are going to need more nuclear power in the future; however, the industry had better buck up its ideas if it wants to convince the sceptics.

Radiation levels shoot up in Tokyo, vicinity
TOKYO, March 15, Kyodo

Radiation levels shot up in Tokyo and its vicinity Tuesday following the nuclear accident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan that was triggered by last week's massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami, local governments said.

But those levels did not pose immediate danger to human health, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology said.

In Tokyo, small amounts of radioactive substances, such as iodine and cesium, were detected, the metropolitan government said.

In Ibaraki Prefecture, adjacent to Fukushima Prefecture where the troubled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant is located, the amount of radiation at one stage reached 5 microsievert per hour, 100 times higher than usual, the Ibaraki prefectural government said.

In Kanagawa Prefecture, the radiation level shot up 10 times higher than usual.

In Saitama, capital of Saitama Prefecture, the amount of radiation reached 1,222 nanosievert per hour -- a figure about 40 times higher than usual.

In Ichihara, Chiba Prefecture, the amount of radiation showed a two- to four-fold increase, the Chiba prefectural government said.

The amount of radiation rose to 1.318 micro sievert per hour -- a figure 33 times bigger than usual -- in Tochigi Prefecture's capital of Utsunomiya, the Tochigi prefectural government said.

The science ministry said it had asked prefectural governments to observe radiation levels as frequently as possible.

Meanwhile, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said the radiation level reached 400 millisievert per hour near the No. 3 reactor at the Fukushima No. 1 plant Tuesday morning. The amount is 400 times higher than the allowable limit for citizens in a year.

On Monday, the radiation level near the No. 3 reactor peaked at 3,130 microsievert or about 3 millisievert per hour.

Steam containing radioactive substances was released from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant as part of efforts to reduce pressures within the reactor container there.

Northerly winds brought radioactive substances from Fukushima Prefecture to Tokyo and its vicinity, nuclear experts said.

Chris, I think it's more important to raise awareness in a way that gives a comprehensive view of how people interpret a major event like the earthquake in Japan. More importantly, these types of people and their shameful views on the human condition are not as uncommon as you think.

You'd be surprised at the kind of positive influence a video like this can have on someone.

For a lot of people, I can see those videos providing further motivation to donate and help.

FB Friend from Japan - How far down is the bottom?

Me - You'll never reach to the bottom, b/c you'll never be falling w/ friends and family supporting you.

Keep your head up when the times seem to be the darkest.





I can't imagine all the pain and depression the entire country must be feeling, even if they live far away from the Sendai.

I do want to thank all the emergency workers and the rescue teams from other countries, who are risking their lives and going beyond the call of duty to save lives of ppl in Sendai.

agreed, the people that are really risking their lifes are the 50 remained workers in the reactor. When chernobyl happened, the first rescuers that went down there to help people died within few days/months after. I'm not sure if the protective costumes they are wearing can withstand the radioactivity for prolonged periods of time.
