Someone sent me a couple of recent popular videos PACKED with BS about Fukushima.  The dumb thing is we dont greatly need to speculate about the radiation levels in the sea and in the fish because they are quite easy to measure, and have been measured.

http://ourradioactiveocean.org/results


The sea clocks in at about 1Bq/ m3 of Cs137

Thats about 1/100 000ths the natural radioactivity of humans (kg for kg)  

Even the Tuna which have ~200 times the background levels of radiation of Cs137 are only about as radioactive as bananas.  

Grrr... this stuff annoys me!

Fukushima: BEYOND URGENT... BUSTED!

If you want senseless, ignorant scaremongering, theres no shortage of it on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sTxQ0h_ew0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyKkhI_GKkg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lF7y1X6BSc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh1PAwtf0hw whereas for the cost of ~500 bux, you could simply buy a gamma ray spectrometer and measure the radiation from Fukushima yourself.

i wanted to donate something for this project but i'm not confident i can commit to pledging regularly. any way i can do that?

Great post! As much as I like a good dose of social commentary once in a while, this is what really gets my blood going. Amazing, thank you!

Awesome work. I'm happy to see someone combating pseudoscience with actual science.

Several days ago after watching the video I ordered the same geiger counter (not the spectrometer.) At least, I think it was the same one: there seem to be two different ones with the same model number. It's actually something I've wanted to get for about a decade but never quite got around to it until now. Anyway, I live right on the coast of northern California so I can do some measurements around here and share those. If it's also interesting enough I could possibly get the same spectrometer and do measurements.

Impressive! Your science content is second to none. Keep up the good work :D

Followup: at night, several miles from the coast in northern California, I get a background radiation measurement of 0.1 to 0.11 micro sieverts. During the day I get 0.12 to 0.13 micro sieverts. I'll post measurements right on the beach when I get a chance to measure.

Hey Phil! On the viable nuclear energy question. I've seen most of the content containing Kirk Sorensen and the idea of molten salt reactors. He seems to have both his feet on the ground and makes a good case to someone like me without a background in nuclear physics. I have a bachelor in marine engineering (ships, not ocean) so I'm not totally out of the loop. I would love for you to share your thoughts on this technology and the potential hurdles to overcome to make it a reality. Best regards, Josef
