Fish Fertilizer and saving fish stock
Strange thought entered my mind concerning the tragedy in Japan. With the higher levers do radiation entering the ocean. With this make the fish unsuitable for harvesting and will this enable the fish populations to have a long respite ? Anyone know about the ramifications ? -- Bill S.

Good question! I'm glad I bought a couple of extra bottles of fish emulsion
last fall when they were on sale. Steve "Bill who putters" wrote in message ... Strange thought entered my mind concerning the tragedy in Japan.

The way they fish now, there is a lot of collateral damage. It's the collateral damage that ends up in fish emulsion. I'd buy organic. As for the marketable fish, as is already the case, predator fish concentrate the most toxins, be it PCBs, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, or strontium-90. In my conspiratorial outlook, I doubt the government would tell us anything, if it was low level chronic exposure. If it was acute poisoning, and instantly caused you to drop stone dean, they would probably put out a PSA advising prudence and cautioning against excessive consumption.

Obviously, since this has never happened before, no one knows the
ramifications. Duh. "Bill who putters" wrote in message ... Strange thought entered my mind concerning the tragedy in Japan. With the higher levers do radiation entering the ocean.

There will be more of a move farther away from shore by Japanese fishermen but that's nothing new - They are hunting whales in the Antarctic Ocean already now. Approaches that work for DDT and mercury will work exactly the same way for the small amounts of long life isotopes - Eat lower on the food chain. Plant eating fish over predator fish, squid over fish, small critters over large critters. Conveniently this approach also helps fish populations. Anyone know about the ramifications ? Far more likely to have impact on land industry than sea industry. No shift from fossil fuel to nuclear so increased strip mining in coal belts. Increased CO2 release. And no change in the exponential growth curve of installed solar cells so the good promise on that front is not effected. Given how industrious the Japanese have been in the past they will recover, rebuild and be back near the top sooner than most expect. |

I'm betting Japan within 50 miles of the reactor will never be rehabitated. As of right now. They have already said some cities are off limits for " tens of years " A big typhoon could wipe the whole island out. With radiation. The problem is ingestion of radioactive particles. . Not radiation levels from the air or background. As the news is telling you. Radiation levels are irrelevant. Ingest the smallest particle and its a guarantee of something bad. it will go somewhere in your body and do damage. The US is completely covered. They are dumping it (water ) in the ocean. And cant stop it. The water solution was a waste of time and foolish. It didn't cool anything. Because its just sitting there. They are talking about the concrete solution which may or may not work. Its more likely to explode. MOX cant never get away from you .You cant ever let it get away. There is no way to stop it. Its under there , melted down. Molten with the concrete. If its not in the earth. The politically correct term "cracks" may mean its melted a hole in it. And you cant do nothing about it. They tried to plug it and its not working. The only real solution is too put an A bomb in each reactor and blowing it off and hope it vaporizes the fuel. As screwed up as that sounds . It would be the best solution. The japs are also arrogant and didn't want to lose face so they dragged ass .And used water. So as not to admit defeat. Radiation levels are trillions and trillions of times a safe level. The fishing industry is hosed. Manufacturing is hosed. farming is hosed, The ocean is hosed. Toyota is hosed. They are in fact. finished. |

And Europe and Asia was rebuilding their nations and buying lots of US made goods during the post war years. I see the world and within the US as a zero sum game. Others misery is a blessing to others. However, the planets resources is past the breaking point so I see greater misery for many. Now I will double and triple check my sources of vitamins. Fish and fish oils vitamins from the North Atlantic will be my first choice. Many vitamin manufactures are from Japan. -- Enjoy Life... Nad R (Garden in zone 5a Michigan) |

Each of those reactors have about one hundred tons of spent fuel rods. That is equivalent, I read somewhere, to 400 Hiroshima's radioactive material. Let's just hope those mega concrete pump trucks the US gave Japan can bury the the things. However I see TEMPCO CEO's as bad as BP CEO's... Reckless and belong in prison. -- Enjoy Life...
