TEPCO Releases Gamma Camera Photos of Reactor 1

They were taken on May 20.

From TEPCO's "Photos for Press" page:

"From the large equipment service entrance to the south side airlock", regular photo top, gamma camera photo bottom:





"Around the large equipment service entrance", normal photo top, gamma camera photo bottom:

Do you think that the pixel noise in the visible light images could be gamma-ray hits on the camera's image sensor?

We all know the Japanese are handy with cameras but what I would like to know is when is somebody going to step in and take over operations from TEPCO. I know every culture has its own way of doing things but this is a global genocide. Where is the UN? Where are our leaders? Where am I going to find safe food and water? What about my children? It seems to me everyone is just a little too casual about the destruction of the planet. One more thing that occurred to me is that with all of the wars ongoing and more on the way and everything is getting irradiated anyway someone will decide its OK to use nuclear bombs again.
From those about to die, sayonara.

Hi, Bob... we've technically been using nuclear bombs and theater shells for years, with depleted uranium-encased weapons. When the shells/bombs burst, the still-radioactive uranium oxide dust is widely dispersed (including onto our own soldiers), and has been responsible for enormous increases in birth defects and cancers wherever such weapons have been deployed. I suspect the birth defect rate among the children of US soldiers has risen, too, although coming by those figures would be difficult, as the powers that be certainly don't want that information unleashed. Whatever else matters to the elite, the lives of their "lessers" aren't of any importance... we're easily replaced.

It's disgusting how downplayed, and now even barely mentioned, this worst nuclear reactor disaster in history has been lately. This is part of what corporatism/fascism brings us: zero accountability, zero morality, and not enough honesty to shake a stick at.

Good luck and Godspeed to you all.

The bodies were not even cold in Japan and the pension Hogs were bombing Libya. Satanic Psychopaths.

A fresh order of $100,000 bombs vs Libya; "No problem"
Seems the words 'compassion' and 'I am my brothers keeper' have been ripped from the dictionary.

ia CPS - curies per second?

Anonymous said...

CPS = Counts Per Minute. This IS global genocide without a doubt. Being in California on the coast, I'm right on the secondary front line of contamination. Remember, this is not " background radiation ", but radioactive isotopes that we are now breathing, drinking, and eating. I predict within 3-5 years we'll all be suffering from various types of cancer. Hate to be pessimistic but me thinks it's " game over " . . .

Robbie001 sez:

Actually I'm pretty sure CPS = Counts Per Second you'd need to multiply by 60 to get the counts per minute. The red areas in the gamma shots are about 30,000 and 48,000 CPM.

I have studied this thing as it applies to the common man and my first priority is clean water.
TEPCO has contaminated all of the rain/snow in the U.S. this then percolates into aquifers and contaminates them.
What we need is what hydrologist call fossil water, ancient aquifers with no connection to the surface. At one time we had plenty of this type of water but with over pumping and now fracking, blasting the rock formations with toxic chemical explosives to free up oil and gas by the corporate energy giants, all of our water will be poisoned.
Then consider Libya has huge ancient aquifers not to mention oil and gas and it clears up some of the mystery. I also remember the Bushes both Junior and Senior both bought 100,000+ acre ranches in Paraguay with vast amounts of underground water.
In the years ahead when we all get our cancers, and we will, ObaMao has set up death panels to determine our value so society to decide if we get medical treatment or a lethal injection.
On the bright side, being the vocal thought criminal that I am I expect to be shot dead for...I'm sure they will come up with a good reason. Shoot straight you bastards!
Peace to all men of good will.

Thank your personal God/dess we still have the internet to at least have these news sites/discussions happening!

I just love how 3 reactors melting into the ground is a non issue in the media. I also love how this mess isn't being buried in concrete or something else.Its even better when you try to discuss it with your fellow man and they look at you like you have 3 heads, hmm maybe I need to look in the mirror. Gotta give credit where credit is due, The powers that be have worked tirelessly with the fruits of our labors to burn us down and keep us from questioning whats going on around us. They have been wildly successful in this endeavor. Those few of us left that are still paying attention to whats going on are just looked at with disbelief from our peers. As far as I can see its truly just a matter of time. With all the effort to make this planet unliveable for all except a select few,one can only imagine the accomplishments if all that effort was used to do something good.

I thought I would post a link to an appropriate music video. A picture is worth a thousand words, music goes way beyond words and touch the soul.
I love Iris DeMent, the woman has a wonderful voice full of love. Enjoy.

The Elite have been building and stocking shelters to house themselves in. We are just seeing the tip of the iceberg here. As bad as this is it will only get worse. Can you say "eat the rich"?

We are well on a path of self destruction, people (sheeple) can accept anything thrown at them...sigh...it's hard to be a real man...

where's our fact man arnie gundersen of www.fairewinds.com ? have these truthtellers given up under pressure from the lying japanese. corporations uber alles.
that supposed picture of the spent fuel pool in reactor 4 looks like a fake "before" picture from archives.

Curies are big in the unit of measurement is all i know.
A Curie isn't a Sievert or a Becquerel.
It is named after the mother of all radioactive studies.
When large amounts of radiation are encountered they need a LARGE unit of measurement....the nook version of the Tesla in electricity and the Parsec in space.
None of this can bode well.......
But it IS good to finally see thermal imaging equipment used for the isotopes being spewed from that foul place.

Read the Georgia Guide Stones, there will be massive genocide of millions so that the rest will be controlled by the elites. We are asleep
at the wheel. Wake up to this reality, ask questions, do your homework, keep your eyes & ears wide open, and think for yourself.

Trust In YOUR Higher Self

Georgia Guide Stones? Screw that stupidity. Of course massive amounts of people are going to die. What did you expect? Asleep at the wheel? Even if you were awake and "asking questions" and "doing your little homework" like good little sheeple and thinking somewhat for yourself it will do NOTHING to save you. ACTION is your only (and final) option remaining. Take it or leave it. If you don't, it will be taken for you.

Identify where the elites have their bunkers and at least enough people get the bastards before they escape.

As an Australian,but ,unfortunately human first,this problem or set of problems seems insurmountable,unless your head kicks in with what seems fanciful nonsense. A few sites at Rense.com, pop up and suggest a few ways to stop polluting self,including a number of clays,and even zeolite,although some matters around that may not be completely right.The stuff getting in the aquifers,maybe safer there than elsewhere,as long as trustworthy ways of filtering stuff out are found.That is engineering snow and rain to fill the underground in.There have been many unusual U.S.A. inventions over the years that would seem right for these times.One was a high speed boiler thing where water is pressed between the inner high speed workings and its enclosure.Resulting in high temperature steam.Sewerage systems in Tokyo irradiated could actually be a new energy source.Not worth pickling for the future but dried out human odds and ends with the radioactive substances is like a activated substance,but maybe more dangerous.And plain old salt already mined from the sea,maybe a useful energy source with the nuke pollutants,seeing an old fellow used a TV transmitter system to turn sea salt to fuel.I am just hoping and walking around in the dark of my mind.KeelyNet2011.com will surely have in his[Jerry Decker] archives there the boiler I am mentioning.I even suggesting loading everything up with coal,once knowing the melting point and the similarity to what pressures and heats determine the nature of diamonds.They,some, can make Australian opals from heat at a certain temperature.

I am a Scientist, retired professor, an engineer, a physicist and a biomedical engineer with hundreds of patents and published papers in peer reviewed journals, all my family and friends from my whole life have thought that I am a supersmart nuts. The only reason I am saying this is not to give more importance to my word than yours, but to send you all to the lunaticoutpost where you will find the truth of what is going on. When I try to talk with my family or friends, NOBODY wants to hear, unless I tell them something they can do, that is practical and not much effort, then they ALL do it. But they don't want to hear what is happening and I think they don't believe me when I tell them the all the media is blacked out on the truth, that physicists have been shut up for fear of the careeers, etc. etc. I am superfrustrated, people don't want to hear about what is happening. Godspeed to you all. But my advice is think how can you help your friends and family from a practical point of view, They won't hear anything else.

In my case, all my friends and family bought 4-5 stage reverse osmosis water filters and avoid buying stuff from CA as much as they possible can (not easy).

How much of a chance is there of two different places in those plants having the almost identical gamma overlay? In this post the two images of the colored pixels are almost identical over two different photos. Same as the other post of the #3 reactor.

Looks like a deception.

Hey, folks:

If there’s a lot of radiation somewhere, then lots of people (grad students, etc.) can detect it, and tell you about it, and give you numbers that say how much there is.

If it’s far, far less than the radiation from natural materials in your body -- starting with the 30 Bq/gm of natural potassium -- then there’s still reason to protest, but no reason to expect any noticeable effect, ever, for anyone.

Calm focus on real problems, please. Some are nuclear, some aren’t.
