IIDJ offers near-real-time radiation measurements for Japan

Posted on April 11, 2012 by Michaël V.B.

I just received a nice a email from the Institute for Information Design Japan (IIDJ), letting me know that the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology started to publish a consolidated record of more than 2000 live observation spots of … Continue reading →

January 2, 2012 — That 2011 WordPress report (previous post) mentioned my most-checked post, Current Radiation Levels, which used to be at http://allegedlyapparent.wordpress.com/reported-radiation-levels/ [leads nowhere as is, here it links to its new location] , which I had re-organized many months ago under … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th: Fukushima Gloominess spells Doom

Posted on May 13, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

This is a long-overdue overview. (And so sorry, it’s not cursive.) Bloomberg 5/12/2011: “Tokyo Electric Power Co. said one of the reactor cores at its stricken Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant is more seriously damaged than previously thought, setting back the utility’s plan … Continue reading →

Got Cesium?

Posted on May 3, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

I thought up this (above) “got milk” ad when I poured a lovely bit of organic half and half ”from pasture-fed cows” into my delicious morning coffee at work this morning… With the EPA truly having shown they don’t particularly care … Continue reading →

FDA/EPA: “No Need TO TEST” Pacific fish for radioactivity. Or anything, really…

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

FDA obviously doesn’t WANT to do testing. Economic interests (Obama is a nuke dude, Alaska’s fisheries a major economic sector)? I don’t know man… I don’t know… It’s one thing for an agency to discover they’re totally not ready … Continue reading →

Fukushima maybe under control by New Year 2012

Posted on April 17, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

How TEPCO pulls this off remains a mystery to me. Radiation levels inside the reactor buildings go up and down, but on average they seems pretty darn high as a working environment. In the US, the additional annual dose a … Continue reading →

Highest I-131 Radiation Fallout in US from Fukushima: in Utah, Idaho, California and Kansas

Posted on April 16, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

[May be outdated] –> more locations, times and isotopes tested by the EPA. According to precipitation samples collected (they did something! -ha – though it took Socrata to make the data more user-friendly accessible at http://opendata.socrata.com/Government/Precipitation-RadNet-Laboratory-Analysis/e2xy-undq These are Iodine-131 levels detected … Continue reading →

Above or Below “levels of concern”: USA vs. France

Posted on April 13, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

Very strange, isn’t it, how “data are data”, yet what they mean differs tremendously depending on who you ask? For instance, the U.S. EPA, in their “Daily Data Summary”, states the damn same thing… pretty much EVERY DAY, without even … Continue reading →

The Becquerel (630,000,000,000,000,000 Becquerels and counting)

Further below I’ll revisit what “1 Becquerel” is. 630 thousand teraBecquerel [much much higher numbers have been released and estimated since] is the combined radiation from I-131 and Cs-137 released from the Fukushima Daiichi NNP (6 reactors total, 4 with various … Continue reading →

How “radioactive” is Northern California at the moment, really?

Posted on April 12, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

Far-northern California in many ways remains very dear to me, as it has been ‘home’ for about a decade after I moved out of Western Europe in the mid-1990′s. For my dear friends still out there, here’s an overview … Continue reading →

Radioactive Fish 30 km from NNP + ocean current maps

Posted on April 9, 2011 by Michaël V.B.

Cesium-137′s half-life: 30 years, which means it loses half its radioactivity every 30 years, leaving it dangerous for 10 to 20 half-life cycles, or 300 to 600 years. It can accumulate in increasing concentrations through the food chain. At this … Continue reading →
