Bummernacht 2011
Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off
On this, the eighteenth Bummernacht, I would like to wish one and all a happy beginning to Zappadan.
This is the time of year we should all follow his example and call out the bullshit spewed around us and defend our rights (the First Amendment and the remainder of the Bill of Rights, let alone the Constitution).

One is not noble who injures living beings.
One is called “noble” because
one is harmless towards all living beings.

Confirmation that the Number 1 reactor is FUBAR…
Fukushima’s No. 1 reactor building radiation level rises
The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant said Saturday it has detected radiation of up to 4,000 millisieverts per hour at the building housing the troubled No. 1 reactor—the highest reading taken in the air inside the complex.
As 10 mSv is equal to 1 REM… that’s 400 REM/hr boys and girls. Smokin’ hot.
…tanks for storing radioactive water were on their way to the crippled nuclear power plant.
TEPCO said radioactive water could start overflowing from temporary storage areas on June 20, or possibly sooner if there is heavy rainfall.
Two of the 370 tanks are from a manufacturer in nearby Tochigi Prefecture, TEPCO said. Two hundred of them can store 100 tons, and 170 can store 120 tons. The tanks will continue arriving through August, and will store a total of 40,000 tons of radioactive water.
So yesterday we had “combined amount of radiation in the tainted water is estimated to be 720,000 terabecquerels. So 1 Bq is equal to 27 pCi, 720,000 TBq in 40,000 tons… frickin’ hot.
