On 02 November 2011, Tokyo Electric Power Company said Reactor 2 at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was in melt down, again. Now they changed their mind!
TEPCo now says the level of xenon radiation they detected is too low to be from spontaneous fission. Can these guys get anything right?
02 November 2011, Tokyo Electric Power Company announced that melt down has re-started in Fukushima Daiichi Reactor 2.
TEPCo detected radioactive xenon-133 and xenon-135, in the reactor’s containment vessel on 02 November. They are produced during nuclear fission. TEPCo poured a boric acid solution into Reactor 2 to suppress the nuclear fission (melt down).
Analysts are speculating that the other reactors at Fukushima Daiichi could also go critical. Professor Okamoto Koji, of the University of Tokyo Graduate School, says the presence of xenon in the reactors leaves open the possibility that localized and temporary fission could still occur.
TEPCo claims that using the boric acid has cooled down the reactor.
Shiitake mushrooms used in school lunches have tested positive for 350 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium. That’s below the government limit of 500 becquerels, but Yokohama school officials are getting rid of them anyway.
Yokohama is about 250 kilometers (155 miles) from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
At a Ibaraki Prefecture mushroom farm, 830 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium were found on the mushrooms there. The farm is about 170 km (106 miles) from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
Earlier in the week mushrooms in Chiba Prefecture were found to be contaminated with cesium, higher then the government safe limits. Clearly, after almost seven months, radiation is still spreading from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
Yokohama City officials are testing their soil for strontium, after a private testing firm said they found high levels of strontium on some roof tops.
The company said they detected 195 becquerels of strontium per kilogram, more than six times the government safety limit. Yokohama has already suffered cesium levels at 80 times the government limits.
Yokohama is about 250 kilometers (155 miles) from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
Researchers from eight countries are reporting that the hole in the ozone layer above the North Pole is now as big as the hole over the South Pole.
The North Pole hole now covers an area about 3,000 kilometers (1864.113 miles) long and 1,000 km (621.371 miles) wide.
Of course environmentalists are blaming it on man made pollution. Never mind all the volcanic activity, and record number of forest fires, in the past decade. Also, never mind the fact that the Earth’s magnetic field has being weakening, seemingly at the same time that the holes in the ozone layers have been forming.
It is a fact that the North and South Poles of the magnetic field have gotten much weaker. In fact, in 2003, PBS NOVA produced a newer program on the fact that the poles of our magnetic field are about to flip. You can go to the a PBS NOVA web site to use their interactive programs to see how they think our magnetic field works.
In 2009, famed physics professor Michio Kaku, warned that the solar flares, from the Sun’s expected 2012 pole flip, are going to be much worse than first thought, by a “factor of 20”. He called it a “tsunami of radiation”, which is not good when you realize our atmosphere and magnetic field has weakened.
I believe the real reason for the holes in the ozone layer is because of the weakening of Earth’s magnetic field. The magnetic field weakening and the intensity of the Sun’s solar flares, could be caused by extrasolar planetary encounters. There is an ancient story of another plant that experienced a similar “breaching” of their atmosphere. The story is thousands of years older than any other written stories found so far.
In the ancient story the founders of Earth’s human civilization notice changes to their planet, changes that we currently call “climate change”: “…the fields diminished their yields, fruits and grains lost abundance. From circuit to circuit [orbits], nearing the Sun heat grew stronger; in the faraway abode, coolness was more biting.”
Earth’s magnetic field is directly caused by the spinning molten core. The people of this ancient story noticed their atmosphere was thinning, and their volcanoes were growing dormant: “In the atmosphere a breaching [ozone hole] has occurred; that was their finding. Volcanoes, the atmosphere, forebear, less belching were spitting up! Nibiru’s air has thinner been made, the protective shield has been diminished!”
While most of these ancient alien people thought their volcanoes were the cause of the strength of their atmosphere, others pointed out a more astronomical cause: “It has happened before, some gave an answer: Nibiru in the past colder or warmer has grown. A destiny it is, in the Circuit [orbit] of Nibiru embedded!”
Eventually the ancients realized that their planet’s atmospheric depletion was the result of millennia of near impacts, and actual impacts, with the planets in a more stable orbit around the Sun. The most devastating impact created the Earth, and stopped the Moon’s progress to becoming a full blown planet itself. Later, a near impact slowed the spinning molten core of Mars, and stripped off the atmosphere.
This ancient planet, according to the translations done in the 1960s and 1970s, orbits against the grain of Earth and the other Solar bodies, and takes several hundreds of thousands of years to make one orbit (which is about the time line for major catastrophic events that take place on Earth).
The ancient planet (and its “companions”) approaches from our South Pole. In the past few decades, dozens of astronomical observatories have been established on Antarctica. Recently Japanese astronomers discovered at least ten large dense (with very strong magnetic fields) planets approaching from the south. They stated that the planets ‘lived’ independent of the Sun. They called them “floating planets”, I call them Ronin Planets.
Here’s a link to an OK (some grammatical & spelling errors) pdf posting of The Lost Book of Enki.
A Chinese newspaper gathered data from studies done around the world, about wealth, and the people who have it, and found that many common myths about having lots of money are false.
I always heard that “money doesn’t buy happiness”, turns out that’s a lie. One study, by Justin Wolfers and Betsey Stevenson, concluded:
1) Rich people are happier than poor people.
2) Richer countries are happier than poorer countries.
3) As countries get richer, they tend to get happier.
However, Psychologist David Myers says the degree of happiness depends on the relative disparity between the rich and the poor. Apparently the more impoverished a country is, the more happier the rich bastards become (is that why Wall Street is trying to take down main street U.S.A.?).
Also, University of Michigan researcher Ronald Inglehart discovered that once a person becomes wealthy, it takes even more and more money to keep them happy, like a drug addict (again, is that why Wall Street is trying to take down main street U.S.A.?).
What about the myth of suicides and rich people losing their money? Many people think of the Crash of ’29, when supposedly dozens of people jumped to their deaths, from their high rise offices, after losing all their money in the stock markets.
While some rich people do kill themselves, people living in poverty are still more likely to end it all. Several studies have been done, including by the UN World Health Organization, and they conclude that the majority of suicides involve people living in rural (poor) areas!

30 September 2011, for the first time since the March nuclear disaster, the Japanese government has found plutonium contamination outside the Fukushima Daiichi nuke plant compound.
There have been at least three other times plutonium was found. A couple of times it was found within the perimeter of the nuclear plant’s compound, but, in June a university team found plutonium outside the Fukushima Daiichi compound.
This latest (government confirmed) plutonium contamination was found 45 km (28 miles) outside the nuclear plant. It was detected in samples taken from six locations in the towns of Futaba, Namie and Iitate Village in Fukushima Prefecture, all northwest of the nuclear plant.
The isotopes included plutonium 238, 239 and 240.
27 September 2011, Japan’s National Tax Agency has just now realized that all alcoholic drinks coming from the Fukushima area are probably contaminated with radiation. Even so, testing on beer, wine/sake will not take place until next month!
Mandatory testing will be done at all beverage factories within 150 km (93 miles) of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Random testing will take place at factories outside the 150 kilometer radius.
Along with the national government, six major cities, including Tokyo, will test water meant for use in making beer and wine.
Rice and barely, used in beer and sake, have already tested positive for cesium contamination.
21 September 2011, Typhoon Roke is moving up the Pacific coastline of Japan, after coming ashore south of Tokyo at Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
Sustanted winds are 144 km (89.4 miles) per hour, with gusts up to 155 km (96 miles) per hour recorded at Hachioji City, near Tokyo.
During the past 24 hours, more than 400 millimeters (15.74 inches) of rain has fallen in Tokai region and Yamanashi Prefecture, and more than 200 mm (7.87 inches) of rain fell in northeastern Japan.
At least four people have died, three are missing. More evacuation orders have been given to at least a half million more people.
The damaged nuclear plant, Fukushima Daiichi, has escaped typhoon damage from previous storms, but Roke looks like it will make a direct hit.
Roke is moving fast and should be approaching the northeastern Honshu prefecture of Fukushima. Already 200 mm of rain has fallen in Fukushima since September 20. The nuclear plant is already flooding with rain water.
Work to stop the further spread of radiation, like the steel wall around the ocean intakes, and specially treated tarps over the exploded reactor buildings, has been halted. Tokyo Electric says their workers have tied down everything they could think of that might get blown away.
TEPCo says reactor 1 and 2 have rain water pouring in from the roofs, and Reactor 6 basement is totally flooded. TEPCo officials insist that none of the radioactive water will leak out. Yeah right, how many times now have they made such promises?
Nine months later, and the radiation just keeps pouring from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Now its Mother Earth who’s to blame.
Tokyo Electric Power Company admitted that the heavy rains from typhoons and tropical storms are flooding reactor buildings, greatly increasing the chance of massive flooding of highly contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean.
The nuclear plant is already flooding the ocean with radiation, but this would be on a massive scale.
Here’s why it’s so bad: TEPCo is already pumping 550 tons of water per day to cool three of its damaged reactors. About 80,000 tons of highly radioactive water has already accumulated in the buildings. Now add the flooding from the storms. TEPCo says it has found 200 to 500 tons of rainwater entering every day into the basements of reactor buildings.
