Meanwhile, radioactive waste from their nuclear power plant has been gushing into the Pacific nonstop for 2 and a half years. Whole species of food fish like tuna have been poisoned and it's only a matter of a few more years until all seafood on the planet will be unsafe to consume. Meanwhile, no country dares to call them out or insist that they do something about it.
No, it's basically not. Unless you have different definitions of "gushing", "nonstop", "poisoned", "few" and "unsafe to consume" than most of the rest of the english (and French)-speaking world. Yeah, don't eat some fish that you catch off of the shore without checking them out first. Here's an unclass wiki blurb from the IRSN report:
I know what accident he was referring too. Too many times I hear "radioactivity" thrown around without knowledge of how it supposedly causing problems. I worked with reactors for nearly five years and the risks/exposure are severely overblown in the media. I am more worried about Monsanto tainting the water supply than I am with this.
Look man, like, we created all of our technology in like 200 years. There's no way Egyptians could do the same in their thousands of year old culture, man. /s
Measuring blocks for size and positioning isn't quite the same as measuring and recording distances from a giant hole in the ground to the positions of hundreds of thousands of rocks scattered in all directions, hundreds if not thousands of meters away in order to complete extremely complex mathematical calculations...
some context of japan during that time e: They probably could do the calculations now. The rocks that were ejected are going to stay about the same size and aren't going to move very far.
Ummm ... modern scientists can actually go out and measure the ejected material from the 1707 eruption.
Over 2 years later, people are not allowed to return to their homes in the Radiation Exclusion Zone, and will not for years to come. So Google Maps donned radiation suits and drove through the ghost town of Namie, former population 21,000. Each day upon return, the car was checked for radiation so as not to infect others. The Mayor went on one trip and wrote this letter. http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2013/03/imagery-on-google-maps-of-fukushima.html To tour the empty city, click on Traffic, in the upper-right corner. https://maps.google.com/maps?q=日本, ...9HpmyJMxaCzTMpcBE69eJA&cbp=12,351.09,,0,-1.33 As someone who lived within sight of Mt. Fuji for almost 3 years, I know it hasn't erupted since 1707. This other little event has a much higher probability of killing people over the next 20 years.
