1) Real radiation measured in Hawaii ocean water using boiled off samples taken and measured by the nukepro.
2) Original "background radiation" levels in the ocean.
3) Analysis of what it means
1) Measured Radiation
Inspired by Dana Dunford, I hooked up with a friend in Hawaii who had a small enough dinghy it could be transported by hand and launched on the beach. We went to Rabbit island which is a small island off Oahu's windward coast.
here is a link to Dana Durnford site ---visit, consider a small donation, he does paypal, you can donate $2 with no fees. http://www.thenuclearproctologist.org/
We spent 2 hours at Rabbit Island, freediving and spearfishing. We caught 4 fish and I will present data analysis at a later date. I froze with guts intact.
I collected about 4 liters of ocean water, and later boiled this off. The remainder was an amazing amount of "stuff" presumably mostly salt. I tested it with a Geiger and did about 6 total test runs of 10 minutes each.
2) Here is a source of information on background radiation in the oceans
One of the lies of nuke, is that "whole cities can't run on renewable"
(might not even be on my list of 93 one liner lies of nuke......check out this Utube video detailing these lies in an entertaining manner)

Here is an update from Germany
http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/oeko-energie-erstmals-wichtigste-stromquelle-in-deutschland-a-1010478.html
Translation:
Electricity in Germany: Green energy for the first time the most important source of electricity
The energy turnaround is making progress: Solar, wind, hydro and bio
gas are delivering the biggest part of the electricity mix for the first
time. Second place comes brown coal, nuclear power and stone coal are
falling behind.
Hamburg – For the German electricity market the year 2014 is the
beginning of a new era: [...] Green energy with a contribution of 25.8
percent is the most important source of electricity. Hydro power
stations, wind turbines, photovoltaics and bio gas power plants [...] in
the last twelve months produced…

another lie of nuke is that renweable need tons of energy storage and it will be impossible to achieve.
After Doing a Solar Troubleshoot on the North Shore of Oahu, I decided to enter the fray and crawl into Pipeline area. I knew some type of surf event was going on, but hadn't paid attention to details. LOL, it was the triple crown championship. Dec 20th was the last day that it could be held, and conditions were excellent. Enjoy the report, I hope it gives you a feel of what the whole awesome event was like. Drop a comment. stock out
At the bottom is a still picture wave sequence showing a successful "pipe" and a video of the Champions perfect 10 run.
Gabriel Medina Took the Championship, he is from Brazil, and that is a first for Brazil.
Julian Wilson Took second place. He is from Australia
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite an amount of infrastructure is set up for the event
Competition Status is nicely updated
This is the judges booth and "insider hangout". They give surf runs a score on a scale up to 10 being perfect
There are lots of cameras, TV video, and stuff in the air, there are also professional water videotographers and photographers who free swim in the surf zone to get spectacular coverage.
Above several individual citizens were operating private drones with video. One operator informed me the drone was around $1000 and the video was $500 and up.
The waves were big and often nicely formed for the legendary pipeline "pipe"
Masses of people from all walks of life, many races, all age groups, and many countries converge on pipeline. Some are dressed fully clothed protected from the strong sun, and others are dressed in string bikinis, and everything in between. Somehow the "speedo" that male Europeans clung to for decades has seemed to completely be extinct.
There is a support crew of jetskies / waverunner tow boats for safety and to help tow surfers out to the zone. There are also the regular lifeguards on the beach on their four runners
The surf is big and plenty of barrels and high flying action
As the surfers come out of the water, they walk right through the crowds on the beach. They are all laid back and more than happy to pose for a selfie with a fan. The pet pig was a real hit on the beach too. I hardly saw any dogs, just a few small ones, they seemd to be mostly off leash.
Lots of cameras, phone cameras, drones, tablets. There is a fair amount of open consumption of beer, and lots of that was bottles which I would shy away from due to chance of glass on the beach, but I saw no broken bottles and when everyone left the beach, it was spotless, not a can or even candy wrapper. Amazing respect for the Aina.
OK the surfs all over, time for the closing ceremonies. Check out the guy tipping back a brewski, and does this girl look a little bit happy, LOL
Here is Queenie who will present the awards
Now the awards, a few leis, a hug from the Pipeline "Queen", and a big trophy.
Lots of news coverage
Watch this wave sequence, surfer gets on wave, the pipe develops and completely covers the surfer, which seems like minutes even though it is just seconds, as everyone wonders, will he pop out or was he already crushed inside the tube.
Paraphrase the article.... http://ajw.asahi.com/article/0311disaster/fukushima/AJ201412130042 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We never had a real plan, so we decided to act like we were doing something partly useful, and we built a bunch of tanks, except that they were shitty tanks, only designed and intended for a 1 year use and constructed by less than "craigslist" level workers, mostly alcoholics and those marginalized citizens in debt to Yakuza who were forced to work at the plant without proper training or tools. Then of course, we forgot that water in pipes and pumps will freeze in winter thus expanding and breaking the pipes and pumps, especially the ones we didn't insulate, so that caused trouble. Of course the water filtration system for the initial batch of radionuclides broke several times and a few times the workers sprayed themselves with concentrated radiation because they didn't understand how to operate the valves. Then the ALPS system, meant to take out the strontium, was years late and then hardly worked. But that's OK because we were instructed by the nice economic hitmen from USA nuclear cartel to just ignore the strontium altogether or at least report it a one millionth of the real level. Actually one of the economic hitman, and really hitwoman, Hillary Clinton, who assured us that USA would jack up their allowable levels in food 10 times higher and buy all our food exports without testing any of it...as long as we followed their corporate interest and rolled out the BP game plan.
Tanaka, past the smiling stage, stated "We got to dump this crap in the ocean, and soon" ------------------------------------------------------- We tried to stop the water from leaving the plant area after contacting the 2 or 3 underground coriums (honestly we don't know). But whatever we tried in keystone cop fashion, it didn't work. We finally figured out from going to a "Nukepro" website that what we should have done was to block and divert the old river water that was coming into the plant area....i.e. block it on the upper side and pump it out and around BEFORE it got to the coriums. Sheesh, we wish he would have told us that out of the gate, but by then we were committed to pouring "special concrete" and then large investment in the high technology ice wall was well underway and we couldn't be distracted from executed that plan that had already been approved. We are very sorry, but it's not our fault since GE told us they got our back with media coverage and will even help us get some Olympic money. And that is a good thing because GE owes us because they made us take down a mountain and build the plant basements below ocean water level and in the river bed....all because they refused to redesign their "Mark 1" pumping system to pump water up to the original land height that the plant could have been built on, and safely out of tsunami way. So, GE owes us, and bring on those Olympics, we are not concerned that the finest physical genetic examples of humans will be placed into a high radiation zone likely of producing internal contamination since they will be trained to smile, and with the GE news cameras all over, they are more likely to be smiling all the time. Big Ol' Yamashita smile to everyone! We are kind of out of ideas, but we find that it doesn't hurt to dump radiation and heavy metals into the Taiheyo (Pacific Ocean) since the only 2 people testing for radiation in the Pacific is a crippled old ex-commercial diver in a dinghy in Canada, and some solar guy in Hawaii who is taking video of radiation in airplanes and radiation in boiled off seawater. Oh, and Woods Hole is doing some "testing", hehe, that was real slick of the radiation industry to pretend their testing was "crowd sourced" whilst the majority of their money for operations and their salaries was from government and corporate interests. Even though the ocean is clearly dying, we hope we can bring it back by restarting reactors (aka Big Green) in order to reduce CO2 and global warming. Nuclear is the only thing that can save our world, even though the president of GE stated that nuclear no longer makes any sense. As a representative of TEPCO I often feel confused and stressed out because GE won't even tell me the meaning of Cognitive Dissonance. But after touring the plant this week, it is clear that those tanks are the biggest danger to mankind and the plant. After all, those tanks are a big threat, if one breaks, it will contaminate the tank farm areas, and then how can keep employing those untrained alcoholics to walk through the tank area tighetning bolts on the bolt together tanks that are already beyond their design life? More tanks could break and then the whole plant would be contaminated. We would have to evacuate, and then some of the fuel under 5 years old could boil off the water and go on fire and then where would we be? Back to square one. Plus now we in within 5 years of the Olympics, so we cannot allow any risk to the Olympics.
Clearly, although some people may be upset, the only responsible thing is to dump the tank water into the ocean to protect people. Ganbate!
1) From a business perspective, it's over
2) Its been dead in the water since 3 miles island and Chernobyl
3) The claim is climate change, but nuke is only 6% of world power, and climate people say it would have to be 20% to have any substantial effect.
4) That would mean 1600 new plants, and replace 400 existing
5) That would be 3 new plants every month for 40 years to get to 20%, and by then climate change would have run its course
6) We have no way to deal with the waste
7) Recycling fuel, aka MOX leaves lots of plutonium around in an age of uncertainty and terrorism
8) Uranium is getting more scarce and 2025 to 2035 will see big shortages and thus high prices
9) We don't have the water. In France 40% of all the fresh water in the country is needed just to cool the reactors, and that water comes out hot which further exasperates ecological problems.
10) Plus the nuclear asshats have been lying through their teeth right out of the gate, its all based on lies to protect "their precious"
OK I am channeling my inner geek, I actually bought my first over $15 t-shirt, LOL. At the swap meet at Aloha stadium they have cheap tshirts 7 for $20, and pretty good quality T-shirts at 5 for $20.
But I guarantee I won't look as good as this model, LOL
Maybe I'' coin my own t-shirt...."Never Trust an Atoms Abuser, Atoms stay mad a long time"

My
letter to these Marine Biologists and Scientists who claim they do not
understand what is causing the massive die-off of all life in the
Pacific Ocean.
Dr. Ken Balcomb Dr. Peter Ross Dr. Bill Bushing Dr. Drew Harvell Dr. Pete Raymond Dr. Carol Blanchette Dr. Lesanna Lahner Dr. Ian Hewson Dr. Ian Lipkin Dr. Benjamin Miner Dr. Bruce Menge Ronald Shimek, PhD Amanda E. Bates, PhD Vincent Racaniello, PhD Russel Barsh
I am writing to you about the death of the Pacific Ocean. No baby
whale has lived over the age of one year. Tens of thousands of otters,
seals, walruses and whales have exhibited lesions, hemorrhaging, and
wasting diseases. The starfish are virtually extinct. Birds drop from
the sky. The seafloor is littered with thousands of decomposing fish
and mammals. All of you have at some point expressed concern and
bafflement as to what might be causing the extinction of all life in the
Pacific Ocean. I am not a scientist, but one does not need a
scientific background to understand the sea star, sea lion, sea urchin,
whale and sea life die off in the Pacific. One just needs the courage
to address the mutated elephant in the room: Fukushima.
Three
coriums have melted through the containment vessels and into the earth,
creating a fission process and China Syndrome nightmare can never be
resolved. At the very beginning, TEPCO admitted that they would solve
this only after they had invented the technology to do so, stating their
best estimate date for this “invention” was ten years. There is no
sarcophagus, allowing huge concentrations of radiation to seep into the
earth, water and air unchecked for almost four years. TEPCO has
admitted that it has been dumping radioactive water into the Pacific
from the beginning. Well, they admitted it and lied about it at the
same time- typical TEPCO speak. Every few months or years they revise
their estimates to admit far more radiation contaminated the environment
than previously admitted. Japan has burned radioactive waste for
years, sending even more radiation into the jet stream.
You may
have noticed in the news that just three weeks after the Fukushima
coriums began their decent toward the earth, Fukushima isotopes were
found in spinach, strawberries and arugula in Northern California and in
the milk in Vermont. Fukushima isotopes were also found in the sea
kelp in Northern California and Canada, at which point both the US and
Canadian governments stopped the monitoring, at least officially.
Anaheim, CA had highest amount of radioactive iodine-131 measured by any
EPA air monitoring station in Continental U.S. (http://enenews.com/anaheim-ca-has-highest-amount-of-radioac…)
Uranium-234 was detected in Hawaii, Southern California and Seattle.
Conveniently, the link at the EPA site has disappeared, but you can see a
copy of the EPA RadNet Air Concentration Measurement Data here: http://enenews.com/uranium-234-detected-hawaii-southern-cal…
You might also note that one of the commentators (Radio) wrote, “Why
are there pages of data in the report, yet only the very first page
contains any numbers for Uranium and plutonium?? Additionally, the
uranium is reported around the 21-24th of March, but there are no
numbers for Uranium after that, even though the numbers for Iodine and
Cesium continue up until last week…” And now the report is gone. How convenient. “I see nothing!”
Radiation was in the water and soil from the beginning of this
disaster. It’s not about waiting for it to arrive. It was here within a
week of 3/11 and that was documented by official sources at the very
beginning. I own a little bookstore and coffeehouse in Nicaragua and I
seem to know more about Fukushima than the marine biologists studying
the die-off of the Pacific. How sad. It is evident from your
biographies that you care passionately about the ocean. However, I
don’t think you really care about the consequences of the die off
because you are afraid to mention the infamous F word and for that, all
of your years of study and activism have gone to waste because you don’t
have the courage to state the obvious.
The common denominator is
Fukushima. Organisms that have survived 450 million years of earth
changes, ocean acidification and temperature changes, pole shifts,
comets and who knows what else are now virtually extinct. Maybe there
is a virus, but a virus does not attack all organisms with 100 percent
morbidity and when viruses mutate, they become weaker. All mutations
encounter risks when jutting, which is why most mutations end in failure
and the virus naturally weakens. And a virus still needs a host to
survive, and yet we are looking at 100 percent morbidity rates. What
changed?
To claim that you do not understand why this is
happening is absurd. You can speak up or become part of the cover-up
and responsible for extinguishing life on this planet. There is no gray
area. Only when people realize the seriousness of the situation will
anything be done about it. And many people do understand, even if you
are “baffled” and “mystified” as to why the Pacific Ocean is dying. And
you would, too, had you not collectively and conveniently ignored
headlines like, “Japan Gov’t-funded Report: MOX fuel particles found
over 100 km from Fukushima — Plutonium-239 levels ‘significantly
enhanced’ after Reactor 3 explosion - Nuclear fuel material transported
in atmosphere across long distances;
Fukushima Worker: They’re covering

I have one and I don’t have the need for one - yet. I use it to
test my blueberries that I import from the US and I will start
monitoring the fish on the southern Pacific Coast of Nicaragua.
Perhaps
you could just charge one to your department and use it the next time
you examine the dead aquatic specimens. You may be quite surprised how
bad it is. The sea lion and whales dying of brain lesions, birds
dropping from the sky, and the wasting sea stars are all victims of
Fukushima. There are no ifs, buts or possibilities about it. It is
fact, whether you admit to it or bury your heads in the sand for a
paycheck. It is imperative that we shut down all nuclear power
plants around the world immediately. Nuclear power plants rely on
external fuel sources to generate electricity, and most have less than
four days back up diesel. No fuel for the generators will cause the
NPPs to melt down. You may have also noticed that the majority of NPPs
are located on active fault lines, flood zones and coastal areas subject
to tsunamis. Germany shut down their plants because of Fukushima, but
an assortment of malevolent entities in competition for Master of
Universe (or at least the Earth) want to build more of these death traps
while having no way to store the waste for the next several million
years. It is also imperative that you tell the truth,
regardless of whether a government or corporate entity tells you to lie.
If you lie and say you don’t understand why the ocean is dying, you
are not a scientist; you are a lowly sycophant who sold your integrity,
ethics and soul for a paycheck. I don’t mean to be rude, but this
situation is too serious to worry about hurting someone’s ego. You know
the truth, even if you don’t want to admit it. And if after all these
years of study you are still stupefied, then you should be stripped of
your credentials and return every penny that you have ever received from
any government and private organization through grants, scholarships
and employment, for you have sold out the planet and all of its life
forms with your complicity of silence.
To claim that you don’t
understand and are baffled and puzzled by this “mystery” shows the
depths of your ignorance or your desperate need to maintain employment
with organizations that actively lie about the effects of Fukushima. At
some point you have to stand up for what is right and true.
I
am sorry if your egos are hurt, but my heart hurts each time I read your
quotes that fail to address the greatest problem our civilization has
ever known. You may choose to be silent, but I will not be complicit in
the genocide of the planet, regardless of hurt feelings.

When a technology fails...insiders who stand to benefit decide to trot out something similar but with a "this time it's different" flair. Whenever a lie spotter sees the "this time its different" approach, they ramp up their spidey sense.
In the past, nuclear plants have taken advantage of economies of scale by placing multiple nuke plants next to each other. They can benefit from economies of scale by such things as a common perimeter defense system, a common overall security system, a common pool of skilled scientists and top level technical people, a common pool of trained mechanics and technicians, a common pool of transportation and receiving facilities, a common pool of electrical distribution to the consumer, a common pool of backup electrical and other cooling systems.
Small "modular" nuclear reactors will NOT benefit from any of these economies of scale.
But since big plants blow up, sometimes in nuclear type explosions like the prompt moderated criticality at Fukushima 3 building (we are not sure if it was the MOX filled spent fuel pool, of the MOX filled reactor itself). But since big plants blow up.....the nuclear cartel proposes that smaller and more widespread nuclear will be safer.
To state the obvious, the SMRs or small modular reactors, will not have the same ability to field resources for security, operational expertise, local engineering expertise, and maintenance expertise.
And a Carrington event which might knock out 20 large plants in a geographic area like the east coast, and cause evacuations from specific areas as they melt down. Well if the area was peppered with the joke of SMR, there would be less backup power and a widespread sacrifice zone that people would not be able to drive out of without taking a "husky" and eventually deadly dose.
THE WHOLE ABSURDITY OF MAKE THEM SMALLER MAKES THEM SAFER, is a joke, a massive lie of the dying Bronto, the nuclear industry.

And finally I propose a new thoery that will alienate even the few UK citizens who used to come to the Nukepro. The more desperate a "Failed Empire" is, the more they refuse to look at the truth.
See below, pageviews at Nukepro for Tuesday. Note that UK is not even on the list. I get more visitors from Romania than the entire UK, more visitors from South Korea.
The UK is so effed up, they refuse to even look at the truth. Think Sellafield. They don't even have the cajones to leave the European Union which is also failed.
If you know anyone in the UK send them some blue pills, point them to nukepro and ENENEWS
