Gates of Hell

Yesterday, the Futaba cam view of a road near Daiichi was black, with nothing visible but the road itself. Daiichi was completely obscured in the distance.

Sunday, I blogged on the emissions visible on the Futaba cam

This cam is very useful. I wish I had been watching it longer. http://stm.futabagun.jp/510.swf?rnd=1378761240993

The more cams the better because their conjoined revelations and their disjunctures together offer considerable insight into plant conditions.

I'd say atmospheric emissions have been very high, although its possible that the added precipitation and high tide simply make it all visible:


Here are more screenshots from yesterday.https://www.dropbox.com/s/yb3wi4rmyv9gh7v/RED%20FLARING%20AT%20FUKUSHIMA%20TODAY%202014.pdf

Here is a screenshot from today. Does TEPCO have a filter up to obscure emissions?
 


What is being hidden?

Long term cam watchers know that Unit 3 spews continuously, but it is not ordinarily steam. It is probably a very hot, radioactive gas. Sometimes it appears to eject sparks or black particles. TEPCO cam watchers know how it moves upward across the screen, distorting and coloring in sulfuric hues.

It is a gate to hell.

Enenews has been reviewing empirically-based scientific research studies published in 2013 and 2014. The headlines are quite inspiring, such as: Gov’t: Radiation levels on US West Coast spiked to over 1,000,000 times normal after Fukushima explosions (VIDEO)

Enenews also alerted us to a study that found that “During the passage of contaminated air masses from Fukushima, airborne 137Cs levels were globally enhanced by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude." (Cited in Masson et al, page 10997). 

I knew Iodine-131 levels were high in 2011 because of the study by researchers from Cal State Northridge on Iodine-131 levels in kelp right off shore. I knew there were Pacific Ocean effects because my family saw them in the summer of 2011 at our favorite La Jolla beach, Wynd and Sea, which we have gone to almost every summer since 1984.

Hermit crabs, in particular, were nearly gone from Wynd and Sea's tidepools. The tide pools were decimated the summer the cockroaches disappeared from my yard. The cockroaches had plagued me for years because I don't like cockroaches but I didn't want to use chemical pesticides. I used 'organic' pesticide in the house to keep them out, but they were everywhere in my back yard for years and years.

I believe Fukushima exterminated them. This summer there has been a partial (10% increase) recovery but other insects are much lower in number. The bats are almost gone, only a few remain.
Impacts unfold more slowly in humans for many reasons.

The gates of hell have been opened.
