Uh oh... Are we screwed?

   Hate to say it but yes we are screwed.  Only consolation is we're not at ground zero Fukushima but won't be long now when things become even more apparent locally.

Here is a rad detection sticker I got not long after the initial event.  It is showing cumulative radiation since April 2011 on the order of 200-400 Rad.  One lifetime limit I read said <25 Rad per year as "safe".  We have been bombarded by radioactive particles many times that amount here in Hawai'i.  My electronic detectors have counts in the thousands in just a few hours time. 

Pule for the children, for all of us.

 

what!!!! F#%K! Well that explains the extra nutt sack!

Yep.  See it with your own eyes.   I used to check the sticker all the time but forgot about it until recently and was similiarly *SHoCKeD*.   But what can we do, there is no where to go.  West Coast got hit before us due to jetstream but now the ocean currents bring it to our shores and tables.  Accept what we cannot change, change what we can for the better.  Be good to others and yourselves, this life is short.  I am sorry to bring bad news but the truth shall set us free.  Aloha.

You should change your title, the article says "Every bluefin tuna tested in the waters off California has shown to be contaminated with radiation that originated in Fukushima." The article also does not say how much radiation was detected. I could go take a simple giger counter and make it scream from a banana, dosent make the banana dangerous. I am not saying I am not concerned, but no need to be a fear monger.

Was this sticker outside?  What type of radiation does this sticker gather?  What type of detectors do you use?  Radiation comes in many different forms.  A person's biological risk (that is, the risk that a person will suffer health effects from an exposure to radiation) is measured using the conventional unit rem.  Most of the time a years worth of exposure will still be in the mil-rem range.

I have to be honest with you and say I do not believe that sticker. For one, there is no unit of mesure on it. Two, all other stickers I can find use the mSv (millisievert) unit of mesure. The avg person in the united states will recieve about 6.24 mSv per year and using this website http://www.epa.gov/radiation/understand/calculate.html, I accumilate about 362.140 mrem a year which calculates to 3621.40 mSv per year. So that sticker actually shows a lower dose than what I get in one year.

Why r we all surprised?  I knew it was gonna happen in just a matter of time!  So now the question is how do we know if the seafood we consume is safe?

Yeah, I got to know when to lay off the spicy tuna don bowls.

This is an alarmist Liberal web article.. Some of my Nuclear Tech Submarine buddies were here on the island and we ALL dined on freshly caught Ahi.. A 3% percent above background radiation is negligible.  Just another tree hugger scare story.

Good. Maybe sashimi will get cheaper!!!!

Bro. All hype man. No problem here, throw it into the ocean we will be fine.

Find a Navy Nuke to go over nuclear power with you lol.

Take your hazmat suit off - you will be fine. Your food is fine.

Yes outside on my Jeep on the overhead console to keep it away from direct sunlight, windows always vented.

These stickers are the most widest in use in the world.  Read about them here:
http://www.radiationdosimeter.org/

The meters are widely known about as well the Teppa-N and the GMC-300.  I also have the keychain style Made in Texas which nuke workers use.  Those made some noise once back in 2011 but have remained silent since other than the periodic and normal ticking as it samples.  If you think there is no fallout or contamination from Fukushima you are only fooling yourself.  Nothing we can do anyways, no use panic.

So they're putting super concentrated radioactive sludge into an ever decreasing number of available containers, which leak?  90% already used up.  When the 1,000th tank is full then what.  Freaking bolted together tanks in an earthquake prone area too wtf?

But nothing to see here move along.
