Is the United States in Danger of Japan’s Nuclear Fallout?

With four of Japan’s nuclear reactors in different stages of “Meltdown”, concerns are increasing over the possibility of the nuclear material from one of these reactors reaching the United States.

A normal part of the west to east flow of air across the earth, moves anything in the atmosphere, across the Pacific ocean and to the United States.

Any nuclear material making it’s way into the 30,000 foot range of the upper atmosphere is a candidate to be swept across the Pacific ocean in just four days.

Once the fuel rods that contain radioactive Plutonium and Uranium begin to melt within the inner six inch thick stainless steel vessel, tremendous amounts of nuclear material are released into the air surrounding the nuclear plant.

Current air currents indicate that any air over Japan will come to the United States within days. It is for certain that nuclear monitoring stations on the west coast of the United States will be closely monitoring the atmosphere for any nuclear particles.

Some the worlds best nuclear experts have visited the Fukushima Nuclear Plant in Japan and have concerns that a total meltdown of at least two of the reactors is immanent. Their concerns are that if enough nuclear material makes it’s way into the upper atmosphere, it could be carried across the entire United States and pose a serious risk.

When the first explosion occurred at Reactor 1 at Fukushima, concerns were low that any danger was posed by the release of small amounts of nuclear material. Since this initial explosion, subsequent detonations of Hydrogen gas at other reactors at Fukushima have increased dramatically nuclear contamination concerns.

Following the initial blast and release of small amounts of nuclear material at reactor one, a second explosion occurred on March 14th. The coolant levels in two of the reactors have repeatedly exposed the fuel rods, causing massive increases of heat that have already melted some of the fuel rods in the inner containment vessel.

The current level of radiation being released from the plant are not a danger to anyone in the United States. However, as the amounts of nuclear material begins to increase, which is by every indication will happen, the danger to U.S. citizens is real and serious.

For political reason, many of the U.S. and Japanese government officials are downplaying the seriousness of the nuclear accident, leaving most people unaware of just how catastrophic the recent core meltdown and release of nuclear material is.

Weather experts say that the current radiation that has been released from Fukushima will reach the West Coast of California Tomorrow.

Reports are coming in that Americans who have been in Japan and are arriving at airports in Dallas and Chicago’s O’Hare airport’s, are setting of radiation detectors.

Should radioactive particles reach America and be taken into the body of a person, the cells of that person would undergo an immediate attack within the body. Either by breathing minute radioactive particles, eating food contaminated, or drinking water containing radioactive particles, the process of the breakdown of every cell in the body begins.

The Biblical application of these events seems obvious at this point. One of the plagues described in the Book of Revelation chapter 6 is described as “Beasts of the Earth”.

Revelation 6:8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

The Greek word for “Beasts” is “Therion“, meaning a dangerous animal or venomous creature. The meaning of this Greek word from which “Beasts” was translated, can mean a tiny particle, even microscopic “Beast”.

As the first seal is opened in Revelation chapter 6, we see the beginning of the seven year tribulation.

Revelation 6:1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.”

Revelation 6:2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

This is the introduction of the antichrist to the world by a the making of a seven year peace treaty between the nations that surround Israel and the nation of Israel herself. The Book of Daniel chapter 9 describes the fact that 3 1/2 years into this peace treaty, the new world leader will enter the newly built temple in Israel and announce to the world that he is God and that all the world should worship him.

As a result of this proclamation, the remaining 6 seals are opened by Jesus on the earth the releases His wrath:

Revelation 6:3 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.”

Revelation 6:4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

As the second seal is opened by Jesus, war begins on the earth:

Revelation 6:5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.

The results of global war: Massive decreases in the food supply, famine ensues over the planet.

Revelation 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”

A quart of wheat was the daily supply of grain necessary to sustain one man for one day. Here during the beginning of this global war at middle of the seven year Tribulation, it will cost an entire day’s wage to purchase enough food for one person.

Revelation 6:7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.”

Revelation 6:8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

As as result of global war and the resulting famine, death now reigns all over the earth. Millions are dying from the implements of the war (Sword), hunger, and… “The Beasts of the Earth”.

There is every indication that during the last 3 1/2 years of the Great Tribulation, that small “Beasts will be the cause of Millions of death all over the world.

Is it possible that the release of Nuclear Material in Japan and the potential deaths from Radiation poisoning across the planet, could be a precursor of the events described in the Book of Revelation.

America on radiation alert: Japan faces world’s worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl as experts warn fallout may reach U.S.

By David Derbyshire, Richard Shears and Daily Mail Reporter
15th March 2011

California ‘monitoring situation closely’ amid dramatic escalation of disasterJapan’s nuclear crisis now appears worse than the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in 1979 – but not yet as bad as Chernobyl in 1986Japan PM tells people within 19 miles of plant to stay indoors as radiation reaches levels that could impact human heathRadioactive wind could reach Tokyo within hours – and radiation levels are already rising in cityNuclear Regulatory Commission admits it is ‘quite possible’ radiation could reach the U.S.‘Worst-case scenario’ could see 30,000ft winds sending nuclear cloud across Pacific – possibly hitting by Tuesday night

Fears that America could be hit by the nuclear fallout from the Japan earthquake have dramatically increased as workers prepared to abandon a reactor crippled by the earthquake and tsunami last night in the face of what is set to become the world’s second worst nuclear disaster – topped only by Chernobyl.

Damage at the number two reactor at the crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power complex is worse than thought, the Japanese government admitted tonight, sparking fears for human health both in Japan and the U.S.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has admitted it is ‘quite possible’ the fallout could reach America.

I wrote for Investigate Magazine from 2000-2005, then decided to invest my energy in the alternative media, when I became aware of the rise of fascism that was being concealed from the public under the guise of hoaxes, such as the "war on terror," by the mainstream media.

…World financial markets in panic – commodities, stocks, precious metals all down significantly in single day trading

…situation in Japan is escalating

…Over half a million evacuated. Prime Minister of Japan urges residents within 19 miles of reactors to flee or bug in

…Radiation threatens California agricultural region (Map)

…Perspective on Radiation Levels:

Here’s a chart showing the range of radiation levels in milli sieverts (mSv). Currently up to 400mSv per hour are being recorded in the immediate vicinity of Fukushima. Remember, although these figures may suggest that the level of radiation being recorded at Fukushima is not extremely high, the danger is constant exposure over a period of time. For this reason, people within the 20km evacuation zone are at high risk of serious harm.

7,000-10,000mSv – Person dies from radiation poisoning. (Full body exposure).
1,000mSv – Nausea and vomiting (Full body exposure).
500mSv – Decrease of lymphocytes in peripheral blood (white blood cells that defend your body) (Full body exposure).
200mSv – No clinical conditions confirmed below this number
10mSv – 1 year’s worth of natural radiation (Brazil)
6.9mSv – CT scan
2.4mSv – 1 year’s worth of natural radiation (world average)
1mSv – Limit of one’s year’s exposure to non-natural radiation (excluding medical examinations)
0.6mSv – Stomach X-ray
0.2mSv – A return air trip from Tokyo to New York
0.05mSv – Chest X-ray (or the level of radiation expected around a nuclear power plant – in practice it is much lower than this)

…more updates to come as information becomes available

…Japanese officials say nuclear disaster averted; but new reactor is now in danger

…Millions currently without power, gas

…Report from Mito, Japan:

In Mito, another town in the area, long lines formed outside a damaged supermarket as hundreds waited for medicine, water and other supplies. Supplies ran low as people stocked up, not knowing how long it would take for fresh goods to arrive.

“All the shops are closed, this is one of the few still open. So I came to buy and stock up on diapers, drinking water and food,” Kunio Iwatsuki, 68, told Reuters.

…Tens of thousands missing in Japan

…Thousands being evacuated in potential nuke fallout zone… 12 mile radius

…Explosion in building housing reactors (video)

…Chernobyl-like meltdown possible (video)

…Fuel rods may have melted

…West coast residents on alert in the event of a nuclear meltdown

…Wind may carry radiation across Pacific to West coast of North America…. 180 Hour Wind Forecast Model

…Unofficial fallout map (Note that this map has not yet been legitimately sourced, thus the estimated “Rad” levels are as of yet unconfirmed, though the wind patterns match those of the 180 hour forecast above):

***This Nuclear Fallout Map below has been identified as a hoax. As mentioned in our original posting, the source was not confirmed. We chose to publish this map to demonstrate the fallout pattern in the event high levels of radiation were released in Japan. ****

…As of yet, the estimates for radiation release levels in the event of meltdown as measured in Rads/Greys is unknown, therefore Rem/Microrem biologically effective doses cannot be measured accurately…

…radiation level outside the reactor became elevated to 1,015 microsievert—the equivalent of being exposed to the maximum allowable level for a full year in a single day. The level has since come down sharply.

…Survival / Alternative News forums go ballistic

…General Radiation Absorption ESTIMATES (source):

0-50 rads – No obvious short-term effects
80-120 rads – You have a 10% chance of vomiting and experiencing nausia for a few days
130 -170 rads – You have a 25% chance of vomiting and contracting other symptoms
180-220 rads – You have a 50% chance of vomiting and having other severe physical effects
270-330 rads – 20% chance of death in 6 weeks, or you will recover in a few months.
400-500 rads – 50% chance of death
550-750 rads – Nausia within a few hours ; no survivors
Greater than 1000 rads – immediate incapacitation and death within a week or less.

…Japanese emergency officials are planning to distribute iodine to those in nuclear radiation zones:

Japanese authorities are making plans to distribute stable iodine, a treatment to prevent radiation poisoning, to residents near two damaged nuclear plants, the International Atomic Energy Agency says.

…FDA has historically recommended Potassium Iodide (KI) within 3 – 4 hours of radiation exposure

Jet-Stream Animation, Japan to USA, Fallout?

300 mb Jet-Stream, approximately 30,000 feet elevation

Given the concern by some regarding possible radioactive Fallout contamination making its way from Japan across the Pacific Ocean, 4,500 miles to California and the west coast of the United States, we will keep an updated 5-day forecast loop of the Jet Stream.

Current date range of loop: March 16 – 20
Refresh browser cache (Ctrl F5) for latest loop if date range does not match.

There is a fair amount of speculation whether or not any significant levels of radioactive particles would actually make it across the Pacific ocean, that is, enough to present serious concerns towards health risks. It has always been my position to look at more than one side of a story, from more than one or two sources, research what I can about the subject, and then factor in my own common sense and logic to come up with a decision or in this case, a risk versus action plan.

There really is only one historical reference point for this (Chernobyl), which makes it difficult to determine what ‘might’ happen (or not).

It seems that whatever ‘might’ happen, might be more problematic from long-term effects rather than short term high dosage effects (assuming there actually is a complete core meltdown which leads to total  environmental release of radioactive particles). Long term effects could include Cesium-137 particles (30-year half life) scattered on the ground or in the soil, getting in to water supplies, food crops, animal feed, and up the food chain to us.

Considerations against any significant radiation making its way to the U.S.

Sufficient disaster would have to take place at Fukushima – total meltdown and releaseParticles would have to mix high enough into the atmosphere to ride along wind streams sufficient to travel the distanceParticles may be washed out into the ocean if there is precipitationLocal wind currents could keep the particles localized in Japan where they would wash out there

Considerations for any significant radiation making its way to the U.S.

Current Jet-Stream patterns are favorable to bring particulate matter to the U.S. west coastIt is proven that dust particulate matter is regularly deposited on the west U.S. from places like ChinaThe Japanese war machine successfully launched balloon bombs that made their way to the west U.S. during WWIIBy failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail
