Keep in mind the earliest suggested ETA for containment is Jan 2012.

People like to feel like this is far away. It is not. If you have kids or grandkids you should start learning about medical issues related to this exposure -right now.

A robot measuring radiation in the Fukushima nuclear power plant, where 3 full-blown nuclear meltdowns are underway detected the highest levels of radiation yet – topping over 4,000,000 microsieverts per hour – a level so high it is 100% lethal within 1.5 hours of exposure.

TEPCO reports that the extreme levels of radiation were found in steam rising from a vent inside the nuclear reactor which is the same radioactive steam that can be seen being released into the atmosphere from the Fukushima live high-definition webcam. As I previously reported, levels were detected at the plant in excess of 1,000,00 microsieverts per hour after the breakout of a massive fire at the Fukushima reactor which was ignored by the corporate media.

For conversion purposes, 4,000,000 microsieverts per hour is equal to 4,000 millisieverts or 4 sieverts per hour. A 4 sievert dose of radiation is deterministically known to cause death to 50% of people to exposed. A 6 sievert dose deterministically causes death in 100% of people.
