We don't know how much they have been
lying, but one thing is for sure, they attempt to cover up, and then they
attempt to minimize, and then they attempt to confuse the issue, and then
additional admissions come out (usually).
For sure, a lot of
Plutonium and Americium came out in the air.
And it came out for weeks because they had some open ductworks prior to
the "good" HEPA filters, so the contaminated air was blasted out
through an opening at a high volume rate.
We only have their numbers to work with, so it could be highly
variable. We know that TEPCO has lied
for years, and when they do fess up we find they have been lying by a factor of
10 to 100. The more they have to lie,
the more they do lie.
HUGE LIE, An Argument of False
Equivalence
One of the HUGE lies they are still running with is that
they are comparing Pu and Am to any other type of radiation, and it is
not. One chart above shows that
sucking in some hot Pu particles is 110,000 times worse than your average
non-transuranic radiation. But WIPP
and DOE and the University "independent lab" which is funded by DOE
100%, all have been pretending that Pu and Am are equal to the more harmless of
external radiation.
HUGE LIE! Pu and
Am are some of the most dangerous things on the planet. When breathed in they kill 255 out of 255
young Beagles in 2 to 5 years.
How Much Plutonium Does It Take to
“Almost For Sure” Kill a Human
Some people say that even one microgram (one one-millionth
of gram)
will kill a human. And that is true...I mean it is possible
that one micro-gram could product a lung, liver, or bone tumor that would cause
death. But now what is likely? The "best" testing was on
Beagles, but sometimes some animals are more tolerant than humans when it comes
to contamination, they don't live as long, but dogs are tougher while they
live. But if humans were as tough as
Beagles, then a dose of 150 micro-grams to 450 micro-grams would be enough to
almost for sure kill you in say 2 to 10 years, maybe 20.

OK now let’s bring it home so to speak. They were pumping air out of that
radiation cave at the rate of 100,000 CFM and maybe a bit higher because they
had some big open hole to the atmosphere (that was a mistake on their part,
could be something to do with the recent fire 2 weeks earlier, who knows, but
they did fess up to that). So roughly
10% to 20% was going directly to the atmosphere.
CFM Cubic Feet per Minute
OK what does this CFM mean?
Well it’s Cubic Feet Per Minute.
What does that mean? Well let’s
use an example. A really good quality
kitchen exhaust fan (not the cheap ones you often see at a house) but a gourmet
kitchen or a light commercial kitchen will have an exhaust fan that can push
500 CFM. That’s a lot of air! Well the amount they were exhausting was
like 2000 of this really good fans.
And 10% to 20% was going direct to atmosphere, so that is like 200 to
400 really good fans, pumping the radiation accident direct into the
atmosphere....and that lasted for several WEEKS.
Grams, a Pretty Small Unit of Weight
OK now to bring the concept of "grams" into
something you can relate to. Picture a
dime, and make it a silver dime, you know back before 1963 when money was “real
money”, back when you sometimes trust what the government was telling you? Right, back in the day before spin was “in”. OK that silver dime weighs 2.5 Grams
(g). Now what if it was Plutonium? Well Plutonium is a VERY heavy metal, in
fact it weighs almost 240% more than silver.
That’s heavy. OK so some
Plutonium (Pu), about the size of a dime would have 240% more mass than the
silver, or roughly 6 grams of Pu. That
is equal to 6,000,000 micrograms.
Some people state that a single microgram can kill a person,
so if that dime size material was vaporized and exhausted out the exhaust fans,
AND it was distributed equally to 6,000,000 people it could kill all of
them. Well I don’t think that
Plutonium is that dangerous, at least on the basis of “is it almost for
sure going to kill you”. I think a
better number for “almost for sure going to kill you”, is about 300 micrograms
of Pu.
You got a calculator?
Sheesh, don’t make me do all the work, divide 6,000,000 by 300 and see
how many people could be killed “almost for sure”. Again based on that amount being equally
distributed among those people.
How many “dimes” of vaporized Pu do you think came out of
that radiation cave with 200 to 400 high quality fans pumping air out, with 10%
to 20% of the air bypassing the filters, for
weeks on end? How much dust do
you get when you vacuum your house and it doesn’t even look dirty?
How many 55 gallon barrels of high level waste do they have
in that cave? 500,000 total and about
2% to 4% is high level (highly dangerous concentrations). 4% is supposedly the maximum they are
planning on storing in their cave, but in reality, in their deep dark hearts,
the nuclear “scientists” who don’t give a rip about you and want to put all the
waste, even from nuclear power plants down there. And if YOU don’t shut them down NOW,
at this crisis, and while they are being caught in their lies, then it will happen,
they will stuff that cave full of everything radioactively dangerous in the
country. Either way,
stop now or fill to the brim, I would never ever live within 50 miles of that
radiation cave.
How Much High Level Waste Have They
Put Into WIPP?
4% of 500,000 barrels is 20,000 Barrels of high level waste,
that’s a lot! How high is “high
level”. Well the former director of
the “independent” monitoring agency for WIPP was caught bragging on a
pro-nuclear website called Atomic Insights, just recently, that they stashed very hot liquids down there,
“hotter than anything at Hanford, 7 Curies per Liter”. Google “Hanford Radioactive Waste” and
realize that what they are trucking into New Mexico from all over the country
is worse than that.
A Liter is Almost the Same As A
Quart
OK let’s bring it home again. You probably know what a Liter is…it’s what
most larger soda bottles are, about the same size as a Quart. OK simple enough on that one…now we get to
the tricky part, the part that the pro-nukers count on, using varying
engineering units so that people just turn their brain off and never get a “gut
feeling” for what a radiation unit is.
Don’t turn your brain off yet, follow me down this last rabbit hole just
a little bit, and I am going to convert that 1 liter of radiation at 7 curies,
into the amount of Chickens that would be contaminated to the point that you
shouldn’t EVER eat them. OK how many
Chickens?
Curies & Bq (or Becquerel) Are a
Way to Measure Radiation. Curies is A
LOT, A Becquerel is A Little.
7 Curies is 259,000,000,000 Bq and if you want to run down
these rabbit holes yourself, you can use this really cool online calculator,
here is the proof of those numbers.
50 Bq per pound is the upper limit in animal flesh for
radiation. So for the average Costco
size Chicken at 5 lbs, a total radiation load of 250 Bq would be a rational
maximum.
OK can your calculator fit 259,000,000,000 divided by 250
Bq? I’ll give you the answer, about 1 Billion Chickens
contaminated from 1 liter of that “hotter than anything at Hanford” liquid.
OK That is One Liter, How Many
Liters Do They Have In That Cave?
OK how many liters in a 55 gallon barrel? It’s actually fun to ask the online
calculator and make IT do the work.
The answer is 208 Liters per barrel. And at 1 Billion Chickens per Liter, that is
208 Billion Chickens that could be contaminated by 1 barrel!
Is there even 208 Billion Chickens in the whole WORLD? There are only around 6 Billion people.
Now are you starting to understand the incredible danger of
what they are doing in that cave? They
have at least 20,000 barrels of this high level radiation down there now. And another 480,000 barrels of other
radioactive waste. And they want to
keep adding more, and they want to expand the scope to include even more
dangerous stuff.
And then they tell us “take it or leave it”, we either stuff it in the WIPP cave or we just leave it were it is at. Huh, an ultimatum from these “scientists” who made the mess. This is another false argument of Limited Choices. And no, “We The People” do not accept limited choices, especially when you are putting our children at grave risk, and us too, at grave risk.

Putting it all in one
place does not make sense, especially because we now know that when these
various wastes mix up through corrosion of the steel containers they are
putting in the salt, or through accidents where one barrel blows up and
ruptures others, or a ceiling collapse.
The “scientists” who created all this really dangerous waste never thought there could be a large collapse at WIPP, but it happened in the past, the day after workers were in a cave section called a “panel”, and more than It was beyond their “design basis”. In other words, their assumptions were not accurate enough nor careful enough from the beginning. Now their response is “we have to keep going, we have to keep filling WIPP up, because there is nowhere else for the waste WE created to go, and we will just have to use bigger bolts so the ceiling doesn’t collapse so fast.”
100,000 pounds of ceiling caved in.

Didn’t we hear here that expression before when government
officials were trying to cover up a big scary problem at Amity on the Atlantic
ocean “I think we are going to need a bigger
boat!”. LOL
The bottom line is
that these “scientists” who are trying to cover up their stinking mess are
ignoring new information as it presents itself, and are “all in” on stuffing all
the waste into one place in New Mexico which will, perhaps sooner rather than
later, become inaccessible and therefore impossible for us to deal with any
problem that comes up. And they don’t
care about you, they will lie to you.
The former president of WIPP (Mohammed Farok Shariff) went on video at the town hall meeting as
stating “it is like getting a dental X-ray”.
Ask him about that when you see him at the local grocery store buying a
chicken.Hmmm, eh Mohammed, are you really telling the little people that sucking down plutonium is like a dental Xray? Wow.
And now they tell you to trust them, they got it all figured out
now, and the only reason they are going slow now in getting back into the cave
is “because so many people are interfering”.
In the meantime, because the accident area is too hot to enter, they are paying over 1000 people full wages, while not working, at a cost to the taxpayer of around $640,000 a day. Seems like I could rent a robot and get them down there to assess things for less than a few million, right? They want to make sure the gravy keeps flowing so the whistle-blowers keep quiet.

URS is the parent corporation of the private company who
runs WIPP under “family” supervision from DOE. URS also does work at Hanford where there
have been allegations from fired employees who claim they are whistleblowers who
were cautioning the company and DOE against the chances that mixed radioactive
liquids could off gas hydrogen and blow up in a massive accident. Does any of this sound familiar?
So folks, does that bring it home? Do you now know what
you need to do?
