simplemac: wonder who will be the first to say it was Iran?

I'll take "people who don't understand wind patterns" for $100, Alex.

Five bucks says China screwed up a reactor.

That's it... I am pushing it!!!!



/seriously. I pushed it.

What the hell, tags?

Oh, shiat. I wonder if this might be a "dirty bomb" result.

fark. I think now's the time to break out the potassium iodide enemas, Euro-farkers.

Sounds like they need a Czech list to systematically locate the source.

It's ok, send in Jimmy Carter to fix the reactor leak

Per capita thyroid doses in the continental United States of Iodine-131 resulting from all exposure routes from all atmospheric nuclear tests conducted at the Nevada Test Site.

Did somebody nuke Idaho?

"And so it begins...."

/so.... what's the Hadron collider been up to lately?

It likely isn't a reactor or a bomb since the only thing they are picking up is I-131. There are two newer medical reactors that make iodine for medical treatment due east of where they are seeing the spikes. Someone should go ask them how things are going these days.

Radation. Yes, indeed. You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you.
Pernicious nonsense. Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year. They ought to have them, too.

But... I can't just "unpush" a panic button. Can I?

My wife works for a pharma company that has a reactor outside Amsterdam, is that one of them?

Captain Steroid: Anybody have some spare potassium iodide I could borrow? o_o

Would kelp pills be o. k.?

Just exchange the colors and your tyroid map matches up nicely with the soda vs. pop map

/Coincidence?
//I think not.

Iodizing radiation. Gives you a stuffy dose.

Mebbe Chernobyl burped...

Did you check the comments on TFA?

I'm going to go with the activation sequence of giant robots that will emerge from the English Channel to kill us all.

has everybody forgotten fukashima

Anyone else see this article in Wired about the cargo container with a hard gamma Cobalt source mixed in with scrap metal?

Things like that are worse because wherever that container went, it was emitting some pretty intense gamma rays.

It's not the first medical cobalt source to be illicitly freed from its teletherapy device, but in the other cases, people died as a result. I wonder how in the world a naked cobalt source got mixed into scrap metal without killing somebody handling it. It had to be placed in there somehow.

In before the 'nuclear power is totally safe' people telling us that radiation is nothing to worry about.

In before you have a shred of evidence this is actually meeting dangerous levels.

Also in before you post the injury / death rate of Nuke plants vs any other pwr plant.
