Letter to an Environmental Journalist
stock here -- When krill die, they sink to the bottom pretty fast, one estimate of 600 feet per hour. See the chart.
Tracy,
Per your Article
Please review the following, I think it is important.
Appreciate your feedback on this.
CS-134 and CS-137 bioaccumulate in Chitin, a
biological structure used by quite a few sea creatures, insects, and
Fungi. The sea creatures and insects which use Chitin have
been hardest hit since 2011. Chitin bio-accumulates radiation like
a sponge. It is nearly common knowledge that
mushrooms and lichen absorb radiation like a sponge….the common
link? Chitin.
Krill use Chitin. Krill are one of the
basic building blocks of the food chain of the oceans.
CS-134 is absorbed and bio-accumulated or bio-magnified if
you will. Same with CS-137. However, the CS-134 is 15
times as radioactive (half life is 2 years versus about 30 years) so it kills
the Krill more quickly. These dead Krill sink pretty
quickly to the bottom, where they are taken out of the food chain.
Which is a good thing, it could be our saving grace to reduce the radiation in
the ocean. In areas that have deep water upwellings, there have
also been huge problems with sea life.
So effectively, Krill are a radiation filter that to a great
extent take the radiation to the deep ocean depths. Krill are
cleaning our oceans. With a huge loss of “food chain material” also
being deep 6’d. It may take decades to rebuild the food chain and
regenerate this lost bio-materials.
A little proof of the Krill Filter
Hypothesis? They are measuring CS-134 at around 0.3 Becquerel
per M3, with CS-137 around 3 to 5 in the same area. At
the “source term” when they were released by Fukushima the Cs-134 and Cs-137
are pretty much almost exactly equal. So does the half life decay
account for the 10 fold to 16 fold difference in what we measure
now?
The answer is no, radioactive decay rates don’t explain the
difference.
Some simply math, lets say both CS-137 and CS-134 started
out at an average of 5 Bequerel per meter cubed (Bq/M3) 5 years
ago. In 2 years, CS-134 would be 2.5, and then in 2
more years it would be 1.25. In 2 more years (2017) it would
be .625. So in early 2016 when these measurements were made,
it would be roughly halfway between the 2015 and 2017 level, or 0.93 Bq/M3
But instead, the CS-134 is measured at just 1/3 of what
would make sense considering decay rates only. Because the Krill
absorb the CS-134 and it kill them quickly and then they take the CS-134 to
their ice water mansion with them.

To solve our problems, we must first “correctly identify the
enemy”.

Hogwash
ReplyDeleteSo your entire argument to support nuclear energy has been reduced to a simple one word denial?
DeleteNo. Im just saying what you wrote can be reduced to one word. I made no claim supporting or disavowing nuclear energy with my reply. I just commented on what you wrote knowing what I know with my credentials. If I were a surgeon, id be saying the same about your use of leeches. Analogous.
DeleteHad my annual review today. Management said my knowledge of nuclear issues was unmatched. Thats what a lifetime learning and still learning brings to the table. Youre just spitballing.
DeleteSo they agreed that you have been fully indoctrinated. Great.
