Warning: Radiation Plume Heading To USA

[Tompwnage]

Hey guys I haven't been on in a while, so I figured to take some of my spare time to inform you guys on something extremely important.

As you all have heard a ton of Nuclear Power-plants have melted down. Spewing radiation into the air. Which the Mainstream media claimed that it the possibility of them ''Melting Down'' was highly doubtful I might add. As you all know Japan is under some heavy radiation as I am writing this. But hey that is so far from the USA why should the people living here worry right? Wrong, there is something called the Jet Stream.


The wind speeds vary according to the temperature gradient, exceeding 92 kilometres per hour (50 kn),[15] although speeds of over 398 kilometers per hour (215 kn) have been measured. Now don't think for a second because you don't live in the USA or Japan you won't be effected by this. The media claimed once the Meltdown happened that the USA would not be effected one tiny bit by the radiation in Japan. Which could explain why the USA government has been hording Potassium Iodide for the past Week. Also ordering doctors not to prescribe it (It's a over the counter drug). Anyways the jet stream is litterally blowing it toward the USA. (For about two days.) These nuclear power-plants have been Spewing this for days now.

Better have your Potassium Iodide pills ready (If you can get your hands on them) because this baby is hitting the USA.

>! 

Now don't expect the mainstream media to tell you it's going to happen. We all know what happened tin Chernobyl.  :embarrassed:

For those of you that don't know what Chernobyl is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster

Check out the Radiation from that:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ74Rqh7yDE&feature=player_embedded

Recently the media had to cover their buts and admit that some of the Radiation has hit the California cost. According to them: The radiation ''WE WILL RECEIVE'' (Please note: they previous said this will never reach us) will be totally harmless to humans and Potassium Iodide will not be needed. *COUGH* Yet the USA government is hording it *COUGH* Yeah right.

For more information on the government blocking Americans to be able to get it: http://www.infowars.com/u-s-government-blocking-americans-from-obtaining-potassium-iodide/

By now its almost virtually impossible to be able to get some potassium Iodide. But I hear Kelp naturally has natural Iodide in it. (The specific kind to block radio active isotopes from being absorbed by your thyroid)

For those of you that don't know what kind of radiation this is: if your thyroid is not full of iodide it will absorb any iodide that comes in contact with it. Such as this being Radioactive Iodide coming out the these nuclear powerplants yes your thyroid will absorb this.

**What does Potassium Iodide do?** It fills your Thyroid gland with good iodide. Once your thyroid is full it will not absorb the Radioactive iodide thus meaning your safe.

Let me remind you this is no joke in anyway.

Now to prevent some stupid questions from appearing in this topic. In which they probably will regardless of me writing this.

1\. CAN THIS KILL ME?

Answer: Yes, it could give you cancer.

2\. WHAT IF I LIVE IN SOUTHERN OR NORTHERN USA WILL THIS EFFECT ME?

Answer: We will all get a dose of radiation some worse than others.

3\. HOW LONG TILL IT GETS HERE?

Answer: A little just tipped the cost of California. It will keep going into the USA.

4\. WHAT IF IT RAINS?

Answer: Stay indoors, seal the windows. And definably don't play in the water outside.

5\. IF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA LIES WHERE CAN I GET REAL NEWS AT?

Answer: www.infowars.com

6\. WHAT IF I DON'T THINK THIS IS TRUE AND YOUR A STUPID CONSPIRACY THEORIST TRYING TO SCARE ME, AND DON'T TELL ME TO DO RESEARCH CAUSE I AM A DUMB SHEEP THAT DOES EVERYTHING I AM TOLD!

Answer: Good luck in life.  ;)

7\. WHAT IF I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE WARNING AND I WILL DANCE OUTSIDE AS THE RADIATION COMES?

Answer: Have fun.  :cheesy:

–---------

Anyways I took a hour out of my spare time to put this Article together for your benefit. I hope you take precautions and be safe. Don't just listen to me do your own research aswell.

Many Regards,
Tompwnage  :star:

P.S. Feel free to ask any questions.

**A Message to those Yuppies out there:**

You Can't Say You Weren't Warned.

[The New World]

First Europe, now Japan? Is the U.S. being double-penetrated?

[Drakiac]

Um… The radiation that hit the US yesterday was one millionth the dose of what you get from the sun. I would know, I live in California.

1\. CAN THIS KILL ME?

Answer: Yes.

Real Answer: No.
The radiation is only harmful within 20 miles around the plant. Flying thousands of miles across the ocean has weakened it considerably.

2\. WHAT IF I LIVE IN SOUTHERN OR NORTHERN USA WILL THIS EFFECT ME?

Answer: We will all get a dose of radiation some worse than others.
Real Answer: Like I said, one millionth the amount of radiation you get from the sun

7\. WHAT IF I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE WARNING AND I WILL DANCE OUTSIDE AS THE RADIATION COMES?

Answer: Have fun.  :cheesy:
Real Answer: The radiation is not strong enough to hurt you or else the government would issue a warning. No sirens have been going off here in California. So yes, you can have fun.

Thank you for your hour but don't believe everything you are told.
Sincerely,
Someone who lives on the West Coast

[Homicidal Monkey]

I can still hear the frogs; the radiation is at most minimum. You don't have to worry about radiation until you cant hear the frogs. < true fact

also I live about 20mi from the coast

[Death Knight]

No offence but I think this whole radiation thing coming to the US is stupid.

[Lavos]

I'll believe this when it actually happens and some has died because of the radiation. For now I'm going to assume that all these research material is only based on theory.

[Adulese Games]

Actually, the fact that the radiation will spread via air currents is quite realistic. Just take a simple thermodynamics course. However, as has already been stated before, the radiation you will receive, even if you're on the West Coast, is far less than you usually get from the sun. It seems that wherever you got most of this information failed to mention the radiation levels that the areas experience and then compare it to what an average person would get throughout his/her life. So, no. This cannot kill you unless you are within blast radius of the power plant.

- Adulese

EDIT: I should also mention that the winds in the Jet Stream NEVER reach speeds around 100-400 mph, which already makes me question your facts.

[Grizzy]

This reminds me of Glen Beck :P

[Robin]

Jesus Christ. Nice scare mongering there.

The more it travels the more it disperses meaning the better it is for everyone. Radiation levels in America are not a lethal dose, you cannot die from it.

Oh, and the Jet Stream speeds you posted are bullshit. I suggest you start questioning your "real news" source.

[ToshiroHayate]

@Robin:

> Jesus Christ. Nice scare mongering there.

Well put. As stated, I highly doubt it's harmful in the US. Atleast not right now.

The worst case scenario I've heard was the west coast being hit with below 100 rads. But if no livestock is dying or people aren't getting sick, I doubt it's even over 15 rads. If that. That, and I doubt any information right now is 100% accurate. You just gotta kinda pick a few facts from each source and try to rationalize or justify what sounds right.

[aaaron]

One of my grandparents live in Sacramento, CA and we just talked to him 2 or 3 days ago. The radiation won't kill you. It's not harmful.

But, I live over in Michigan, so I am safe and don't have to really worry about this. :)

first, sacramento is inland. Second, we all agree that its not dangerous at all

[Jeff]

500 rads causes radiation poisoning.  If toshi's right and it hit California with 100 rads, then we shouldn't have too much to worry about, except maybe animals dying or food giving off more radiation.
Of course, there's also cancer to worry about.

However, that's just the worst case scenario.  I live right on the california coast and I'm not really scared.  I don't think i'll jump in the puddles though, just in case.

[elementaldisaster]

hall of shame… it scared the crap outa me -.-

[Carim123]

LOL. For starters, you're probably exposed to Radiation everyday, anyway, an example is that you're probably exposed to Micro Waves, from TV Aerials, Microwaves, and Phones, Radio Waves, from Radios, TV Aerials, and Phones, and more, etc. OK, so those are near harmless, but whatever.

Nuclear Power Stations HAVE broken down in many ways before. Look at Chernobyl. Did Eastern Europe die? No, and to think that's the worst recorded case, from a badly designed station. Fukushima (?) is much better designed, and fortunately, not currently at Level 7, from experts.

If you're so scared for yourself over in America, imagine what the people there are living with; scared out of their wits, knowing they can't escape to anywhere.

[Draken]

@Yukiyo:

> First Europe, now Japan? Is the U.S. being double-penetrated?

for some reason this made me laugh.

Im not worried about it. unless it starts to spawn zombies

[Mikekan13]

So stupid. Info Wars is below the level of tabloid papers you see in the grocery store line. Alex Jones is an idiot and so are you if you think the radiation from Japan is going to kill you.

[Tompwnage]

@Drakiac:

> Um… The radiation that hit the US yesterday was one millionth the dose of what you get from the sun. I would know, I live in California.

The first radiation that hit is harmless. There is still more radiation to come.

Yes that is true, but the radiation from Fukushima is much worse than the mainstream media says it is.  Of-course it won't be as bad as if you lived in japan.

Refer to the following Quote:

> Science Insider noted yesterday:

> > The Daiichi complex in Fukushima, Japan … had a total of 1760 metric tons of fresh and used nuclear fuel on site last year, according to a presentation by its owners, the Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco). The most damaged Daiichi reactor, number 3, contains about 90 tons of fuel, and the storage pool above reactor 4, which the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) Gregory Jaczko reported yesterday had lost its cooling water, contains 135 tons of spent fuel. The amount of fuel lost in the core melt at Three Mile Island in 1979 was about 30 tons; the Chernobyl reactors had about 180 tons when the accident occurred in 1986.

> Specifically, Tepco very recently transferred many more radioactive spent fuel rods into the storage pools. According to Associated Press, there were - at the time of the earthquake and tsunami - 3,400 tons of fuel in seven spent fuel pools plus 877 tons of active fuel in the cores of the reactors.

Refer to the answer given Above this one. Also the government issuing a warning, you forgot they tell you that its not going to be as bad yet they are hording Potassium Iodide.

@Drakiac:

I could say the same to you. The government isn't going to give you a Warning once the dollar collapses just their phony recovery crap.

LOL, for starters you sir are a complete idiot. Chernobyl dwarfs this one. And asking the question did Eastern Europe Die? Nope but there are effects of Heavy Radiation Just look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster_effects

What you were referring too is called Fear Mongering. Yes that is true the more it travels the more disperses it is. But you have realize how bad the radiation is that is coming from Japan.

The jet stream you say? Yes it is wrong my bad. Here is the real speed:

> The wind speeds vary according to the temperature gradient, exceeding 92 kilometres per hour (50 kn),[15] although speeds of over 398 kilometers per hour (215 kn) have been measured.

@Fabio:

Interesting.

Anyways end in all you make your own decision I just thought I throw it out there.

[Ice - Fire]

Yes lets all run for the pills, hide from radiation as we are all going to die from this deadly and yet so scary plume of radiation that is way under threat level and in no way shape or form will do us harm beyond what the sun will do to us, run.

@Draken:

> for some reason this made me laugh.
>
> Im not worried about it. unless it starts to spawn zombies

oh and btw those pills can do more harm then good if you take them when they are not needed (such as for this)

This.

[Admiral Refuge]

Sadly I don't speak french, but I did find a video with a [worldwide projection](http://www.irsn.fr/FR/popup/Pages/irsn-meteo-france_19mars.aspx).
Not sure how valid it is, though.

[Side note:](http://enenews.com/iaea-if-radioactivity-continues-from-fukushima-health-hazard-to-usa-may-have-to-be-reassessed-cnn-video)
_CNN’s Matthew Chance reported that the International Atomic Energy Agency spokesperson made very clear that only miniscule amounts of radiation have made it to US and no health hazard exists at this stage, but “if the reactor continues to emit radioactive particles into the air like it has been, then that situation may have to be reassessed.”_

I actually have to go to Cali at the end of the month, so I hope this doesn't get too bad :s

[Duders]

I live in California and I have heard no uproar over a radiation crisis. If there is any possibility of a nuclear radiation threat, I think there would be word spreading like crazy knowing my fellow paranoid Californians :P

[Homicidal Monkey]

if I automajickally gain super powers, ill tell you guys

[Adulese Games]

So yeah. Take the word of a physicist. You don't need to worry about this unless you live on the Pacific Coast, and even then, it's not something you need to get worked up about. Personally, I'd be more worried about the lasting effects on the anime release time and the sushi industry if I were you.

[Carim123]

> Chernobyl dwarfs this one. And asking the question did Eastern Europe Die?

Um. That's exactly what I was stating; My point was that Chernobyl was much more worse, and that Eastern Europe wasn't obliterated. Unless if I'm misreading something here…I think I am ;/. And I did do some research before responding, thanks.

[Pryex]

Tom, the reactors haven't hit a full meltdown yet. Hell one reactor meltdown has been pretty much avoided as they have coolant lowing back through it.

Again, very small amaounts of radiation have hit the USA, nothing to panic over. Second, though the mainstream media does lie (psst, everybody lies Tom) Infowars is NOT a reliable news site, and never will be. It's a man in a tin-foil hat trying to spread fear to people who will believe pretty much anything.

Again, this is not the first time you've spouted utter rubbish like this on the forum. Nothing has happened, you're losing credibility.
