The Battle of Chernobyl - Best Doc On Chernobyl

With the Fukushima Disaster spiraling out of control, and with Tepco reporting they have spotted cracks in 8 places on the steel brace that holds a 120-meter vertical pipe standing between the number-1 and number-2 reactor. In an area that is contaminated with high levels of radiation measuring 10 sieverts per hour. TEPCO are now wondering how they would be able to send in workers without them dying on the spot.

Russian Bio-Robots Working in Extreme Radiation 1700 Rads - 17.000.000 Millisieverts/Hr
You might ask why don't the Japanese that are so good with Robots and electronics, just don't send in Robots to do the work instead of humans? Well like the Russians learned early on and also TEPCO. The radio controlled robots malfuntion because of extreme radiation. Extreme levels of radiation will interrupt electronics and microships from functioning properly.

That is why it is high time to revisit the Battle of Chernobyl documentary that video shows us how the Russian workers called Bio-Robots suited with 30 kg of lead clothing and plated vehicles dealt with the +10 Sieverts per hour radiation exposure on top of the Single Reactor in Chernobyl. 

All the lies that TEPCO have said these past years that everything is under control, there was no meltdowns, no contamination in the waters, Tokyo is safe and everything will be alright. Smile and radiation wont hurt you.. Everything and everyone is starting to look at them with disgust and screaming for their heads.

This documentary of the Chernobyl disaster is a MUST SEE! The Battle of Chernobyl is the best made movie so far. The Battle of Chernobyl contains rare original footage, pictures and good re-enactments. This along with interviews with political leaders, scientists, soldiers, journalist, photographer and several military personnel and real footage of the damaged nuclear reactor.

There are some very good comments made in this movie from the people involved. And this documentary is something you must watch to better understand the extent of the Fukushima disaster. The things the Russians did to prevent a second explosion is something many can't really grasp. The Battle of Chernobyl tells this story very well.

Movie Player


The Battle of Chernobyl tell us many important things about the situation at Fukushima Daiichi. We get to hear from a worker at reactor unit 4 about the beautiful colors going up into the night sky 1000 meters during the reactor explosion. The cover-up and Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev the former Soviet statesman. Also rare footage from the town Pripyat the day after where we get to see the flashes on the camera during filming caused by radiation.

Russian Bio-Robots working with 30 kg lead suits in 17.000.000 Millisieverts/Hr

We get to hear from the brave workers called Bio-Robots recieving 1700 rads or 17.000.000 Millisieverts/Hr radiation levels when working on top of the reactor. They could only work for 45 sec at time before the radiation would be to much. Working with 30kg makeshift lead suits. Some had nosebleeds coming down afterwards. They felt like they had been sucked dry by a vampire. When their eyes started to hurt and they started to taste a metallic taste of lead in their mouths they knew that they had reacherd their limit. But they did their job even picking up the 15.000.000 Millisieverts/Hr contaminated concrete blocks with their hands trowing it of the reactors roof. In the end they had reduced the radiation levels with some 30%. Got a $100 bonus and a certificate. The Bio-Robots can't work anymore because the high radiation levels they were exposed to. Many not even in their 50s now are unable to make a living because of this.

Russian Radio Controlled Robot malfuntioned because of extreme radiation

The Bio-Robots were used because the radio controlled equipment, looking like something you would send to the moon that should do the job malfunctioned because the extreme radiation affected the electronics. Before this six hundred (600) helicopter pilots were employed to drop lead over the open reactor to help cool it down and put out the fire. All the pilots were exposed to lethal doses of radiation, and “all” six hundred pilots died.  

Not only did the pilots die, but as the lead vaporized with the heat, many people, including children in the city, inhaled high doses of lead. Since there was concern that the meltdown would contaminate the water table below, 2,500 miners were dispatched to manually dig below the plant to make way to encase the reactor core.  Half of those miners died, and many others became very ill with radiation sickness.

The work done and the cost of 18 Billion Dollars in todays money was important not only to limit the radioactive material from spreading around the world but also to prevent a second nuclear explosion. An explosion with the potential of rendering all of Europe uninhabitable. Some would say that the lead dropped in the reactor to try and cool it down were the wrong thing to do. But with the severity of the disaster it was the only right thing to do.

In all, it was said that 500,000 people (other accounts claim 600,000 people) were dispatched to the Chernobyl plant to contain the reactor, half of whom have died since then as a result of radiation exposure and today about 200,000 are on permanent disability due to sicknesses from their radiation exposure.

Again this is a must watch for anyone. Really well done documentary about the Chernobyl disaster. And I really hope you take what is said to heart. And look at what the Russians did in 1986.

Another MUST SEE documentary about the Fukushima disaster is this NHK Special.

What exactly was the extent of contamination caused by radiation from the Fukushima nuclear accident?

What is happening in the contaminated areas? This is a record of a two month survey conducted by scientists working close together.

Official Response on Extreme Radiation 945 CPM Inflight

Australia in flight radiation High 945 CPM Fallout Fukushima Airborne 737 Townsville to Brisbane
945 CPM Radiation Spikes in Flight over Australia
This is a follow-up on the previous post on the extreme levels of radiation detected during an domestic flight on a 737 going from Townsville to Brisbane on 8 Aug, 2013 over Australia.

Read the previous post at:
☢ Extreme Radiation 945 CPM On Virgin Airlines Flight Over Australia ☢

david sYou can watch all the in flight radiation videos on David's Channel on Youtube

After the findings of high levels of Fukushima radiation that David recorded and showed us during his flight with radiation readings as high as 945 CPM in the cabin (5 times the normal levels of atmospheric radiation levels for flights). David sent in a complaint to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia. Well they now responded and David was kind enough to send it in so I could post it up here also.

Below is the full email from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia shown here with permission from David that he recieved. It is saved here as an image. And I'm also going to write down some of the text.

4 September 2013

Dear Mr Searle

Thank you for your email dated 2 September 2013.

Your observations regarding man made radiation in an aircraft cabin have been noted and will be referred to appropriate CASA Dangerous Goods Inspector to investigate.

The Current minister for Infrastructure and Transport in the Hon. Anthony Albanese MP.

Thank you for contacting the Civil Aviation Safety Authority in relation to this matter

Yours faithfully

☢ Homemade Geiger Counter For Under $10 ☢

Hello everyone,

With all this "recent talk" about Fukshima leaking 400 tons of radioactive plutonium water into the Pacific Ocean every day (experts say it has most likely been going on for 2 years already) the safety for ourselves and our loved ones are on many peoples minds. The one thing that enables you to see the dangersous presence of radiation is with the well known Geiger Counter.

DIY Geiger Counter
Homemade Geiger Counter
However not many people today can afford to get one because they do cost a bit. I remember that right after the Fukushima disaster most stocks of radiation meters where emptied so back then you could not even get one even if you had the money.

Well fortunetly you can make your very own homemade Geiger Counter for under $10. And if you already happen to have a simple volt meter you probably wont need more than a few bucks and some time to make one yourself.

MrTeslonian on Youtube recently made a very good video explaining and showing you exactly what you need to do. Some thin copper wire, small piece of aluminium pipe, aluminium foil (you could probably make due with just aluminium foil and not even have to use a pipe) and a volt meter set to AC Current and you are done. The great thing is that this simple homemade Geiger Counter will work for almost any form of radiation.


I am certainly going to give this a try, because it's a simple design, you don't need a lot of time and most likely have all parts avaliable around the house. It's proven and tested and shows that it works. If another disaster where to happen I strongly urge everyone that is anywhere near any sort of nuclear power plant to at least learn how to put one of these things together if you don't already have or know someone that owns an Geiger Counter.

MP3 Update with Jeff Rense and Michael Collins

This is an interview that Jeff Rense did with Michael Collins on November 7, 2011. Michael have been posting radiation readings online from the West LA area. And now we get to hear how radiation is affecting the crops in America and Canada. The nuclear fallout is spreading over the land and people should be aware of the radiation dangers.

This is the first minutes of transcribed audio from the MP3.

Jeff Rense: OK lets get right back into it, Michael Collins joins us this hour, and if you go to the center column at rense.com and again go to that radiation symbol featured story box right in the center and look right up near the top and count down 1.2.3 West LA - Santa Monica Live Readings click on that and you go to the website of my next guest our colleague and friend Michael Collins who is hard at work along with Denise and he’s bringing us live readings from the West Los Angeles area. He was the first person to do this, to put online that I know about on the internet live Geiger counter readings he has an inspector which we were talking about last hour with Tim Flanigan which are back in stock and can be ordered tomorrow that’s really good news. The website is enviroreporter.com if you are not online right now if you are just click on Michael’s name you can go there and take a look an see what’s going on in West LA, hello Michael welcome back.

Michael Collins: Hey there Jeff, glad to be back, we were up in the high sierras and in eastern California Denise and I on a vacation which we took the opportunity to take a lot of radiation readings while having our radiation station here in LA still operating.

Jeff Rense: Yeah now as you heard the inspector is back in stock and for sale right now so that’s.. And there is some other very fine units out there as well, so that’s good news. It took a long time but finally they are available.

Michael Collins: Knowledge is power and when you think about the lack of coverage of the ongoing environmental catastrophe in this country being so limited that it’s really basically you. And just a few others that are reporting on this, covering this, you’re folks in the audience if they can spare the money would be incredibly, it would help their lives in so many ways and they can help us get a better understanding of what the radiation, how it’s impacting America and Canada and beyond.

Jeff Rense: You need to tell, first of all I’m sorry to say this but, in my personal humble opinion you shouldn’t buy anything made in Japan, not now, maybe not ever, but certainly not until they can prove or you can prove with a Geiger counter that it’s safe to consume, and that goes back at the story about the television news man in Fukushima who was showing everyone, hey there is no problem here and he ate everyday Fukushima produce for a couple of months, well he’s got adult onset Leukemia now which is very rare in a man of his age. So it’s not a joke it’s nothing to play around with. You’ll see people in stores with Geiger counters if you haven’t already, and they certainly should because what happens over here we grow our crops here nothing to worry about right.. Wrong, tell us why we should worry about crops grown here.

Stop Citizens Taking Radiation Measurements - Nobuteru Ishihara


On this morning’s NHK “Sunday Debate” program, Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Secretary-General Nobuteru Ishihara stated, “Geiger counters costing between 40,000 and 50,000 yen ($500-600) provide patchy measurements. We have to try and stop citizens from taking their own radiation measurements.” It seems that he really doesn’t like the fact that citizens are taking their own radiation readings. Even if the figures are patchy, the measurements still tell us correctly whether the radiation level is high or low.


This is from Fukushima Diary:


**************************

So this is what Nobuteru Ishihara thinks. It is true that Geiger counters can be a bit tricky to get a good measurment. But that's no reason to try and forbid people from using them. I think this have more to do with the truth coming out. That people taking measurments on their own compile the data and start to show that radiation levels are higher than being reported.

If you go and read the post: 

There you will find that officials are reporting lower radiation numbers than detected "not to scare the public". This is sick, and can not be tolerated. I hope the people behind this will get their day in court. If justice is served they will be robbed of all their money and get a life sentence in jail. If not they will get a Lynch mob after them and wont be safe ever again. Even if they try and hide somewhere, someone will find them.. This is not only for officials in Japan, it goes for the rest of you that are accomplices to these crimes.

You really think this ain't gonna happen do you. Well I got a news flash for you, wake up. Citizens are taking action all over the world. You think you're safe? Look at what happened in London.

I don't approve to this because these kinds of actions won't have any affect on the people in charge. If you want to win a battle you take out the weak ones first. Why go up against strong forces? When the forces are only doing "their job". You really need to have a hard look at who is the enemy here.

I only bring this up because I see wrong being done here. And I won't stand for it. Neither will the people. The most disturbing thing is that officials that are doing these things don't see that they are doing anything wrong in their twisted minds. I see judgement approaching.

Radiation off The Scale Sakura Nursery School Playground

Before the nuclear meltdown the children of the Sakura Nursery School would spend much of their time playing outside. But after a recent test of 10 Fukushima children found radioactive substances in all of them, outdoor activities have been banned...
Watch the ABC Report


Michiko Saito Sakura School Principal: "We were also shocked to discover from our monitoring that this school was one of the 26 most contaminated sites in all of Fukushima prefecture.. So we immediately got rid of all the topsoil.."


Everyday now principal Saito takes a geiger counter out into the playground to take radiation readings. The contamination levels have fallen since the topsoil was removed. But near the play equipment it's nearly off the scale.

Geiger counter needle of the scale at school playground

Since the Fukushima disaster 1000s of children have been moved out of this prefecture, but most parents here simply don't have the money or the means to pack up their families and leave.


Back at the Sakura Nursery School it's time for a quick dip, even though the water is changed daily, the kids are only allowed into the pool for a few minutes. The parents, teachers and students alike there is a feeling they have been abandoned.

Michiko Saito Sakura School Principal: "Children and babies is said to be vulnerable to radiation but the authorities have moved too slowly to help schools"

One measure by the government was to raise the radiation limit from 1 to 20 mSv a year. A move that did nothing to reassure anxious parents or teachers..

Geiger Counters - Radiation Detection Meters - Handheld Radiation Detector



When it comes to radiation detection meters you really have a wide field of gadgets to choose from, however radiation detectors are the most common to use. First of all if you need to know what type of radiation you are looking for. There are Alpha, Beta and Gamma radiation detectors. And also there is neutron emission of nuclear radiation. And all these different types of emissions have radiation detectors for a specific type of radiation that you can buy radiation detector for. Some also measure both Alpha and Beta. Others detect Alpha, Beta and Gamma. While others let you measure Beta and Gamma radiation.



What most people have use for though are Dosimeters you can buy a handheld radiation detector pretty cheap that are good addition to a survival kit. There are different kinds that you can use that will detect radiation. There are radiation badges that will tell you when radiation become high. Workers at nuclear power plants use these to inform them of how much radiation they have been exposed to. Now also children in the Fukushima prefecture have each been given a radiation badge so they know if they are exposed to radiation. Some come in the shape of a pen that you can carry in your pocket while other are made more compact so that you can attach them to your keychain. And then you have what is called a personal radiation monitor. These are also called Dosimeters and also normally called Geiger counters. Although not all use the Geiger-Muller Tube for the radiation detection some use a semiconductor instead. These and mostly the older geiger counters seen are pretty big to carry around, so they might not be best suited for a survival situation where you only need to carry the most important things. However if you have land and want to check radiation around the property and drinking water then these are the geiger counters to get because they are very well built units.

These are the once that you normally see people use. They have different units of radiation detection, because when it comes to radiation there are many standards used. some give the measurements in Rads, while other use Sieverts. Some have the maximum radiation value for the measured radioactivity quite low but they will still give you an idea of the amount of radiation in the area. With the units ranging from between background radiation 0.001 mSv/hr all the way up to 10 Sv/h. Normally a dosimeter will measure radiation in micro siverts per hour. If you were to walk into one of the reactor units at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant you probably would get an error reading from your dosimeter because the radiation levels are so high there.

Note that some places outside the exclusion zone in Fukushima that are too radioactive for people to live in have areas where the radiation levels are above 30 Sv/h. So if you are in a area that have high radiation the radiation detectors would also there go off the scale. However Geiger counters or radiation detectors are still favored as general purpose alpha/beta/gamma portable radiation detectors and radiation detection equipment, due to their low cost and robustness. Most come with an LCD Display that show you the radioactivity in the area. Nowdays you will even get alarm sound and the possibility to connect the device to a computer. Either with a Infrared, Bluetooth or USB connection.

So if you look at the radiation detectors for sale that have this, then these radiation detection meters will allow you to make maps of contaminated areas that show where the radiation is high and low. This also will help you to see which areas are becoming more contaminated over time. With several nuclear reactors in the US and around the world located near fault zones that makes it a danger if a big earthquake would hit the area there is always a good choice to have a radiation dosimeter avaliable. I'm sure many in Fukushima would have been grateful to have dosimeters avaliable at the time of the disaster and I am sure you to would be grateful to have a geiger counter handy when you need one.
