Another concern is the recent sightings of owls that normally reside in Alaska showing up in the states. Don't birds and animals in general have a better sense of fleeing danger? Before big earthquakes, etc. Why are they coming south?

I think the best place to be in the wake of a civilization-ending disaster is on an aircraft carrier. Get below deck until the fallout cools down, then convert the four acre flight deck into a farm. You've got a nuclear reactor onboard, which goes for 25 years without refueling. There's room for hundreds of people, plus livestock or hydroponics below deck. That's a good size for a community to remain cohesive and at least a little productive. We had birds laying eggs here in February. Perhaps the owls detected a suitable climate farther south than usual. |
I know very little about nuclear and the effects of a nuclear disaster. Many living things have been destroyed by the fallout and finding a way to keep from becoming one of them hasn't been at the top of my list. Should it be? I don't know.
I remember when I was a kid and taking a tour of the newest nuclear power plant south of Longview/Kelso, WA. From what I remember they showed in the tour was that it is an extremely safe way to produce electricity. Funny thing is, the plant was torn down a few years back. |

It was not at all extremely safe... that was just P.R. I had a neighbor whose father worked at the plant, and he related that there were frequent leaks and releases that, against rules and the law, were never reported. I had the honor of having this guy, Lloyd Marbett on my show, last Sunday... ...he was very instrumental in having Trojan Nuclear plant (the one you mentioned) shut down and then torn down, although to this day he says he wanted the cooling tower to stay up as a monument to stupidity and short-sightedness. -AC |

Hi, I have a question about those trees though...why were they cut down? someone planning to make radioactive furniture?are they safe to use as lumber?

Record radiation found in fish near Fukushima plant – This Just In - CNN.com Blogs
I wonder how long before it really hits us on the west coast? I haven't heard much lately...............????????? |
my understanding is they've basically stopped monitoring for anything. there are a few expected studies to be done on moose and salmon if I remember correctly but nothing major. Canada has massively cut the department of fisheries and oceans so I'm not sure who's left to actually do this research.

We have no reason to believe that officials will provide us with information we need to avoid sickness or injury. The Japanese people recognized this early in the Fukushima disaster, and set up a citizens monitoring network (Link-1, Link-2) that has set the standard for non-governmental citizen response. We need to do the same thing. There is no known safe level of radiation. -AC |
