[MAXIMUM ALERT] Neptunium 239 Potentially Detected In Saint Louis 9/14/11 Radioactive Rainfall

http://pissinontheroses.blogspot.com/2011/09/maximum-alert-neptunium-239-pote...

The source has a calculated average 2.4 day half life. The half life matches Neptunium 239. Np239 decays into Plutonium 239.

IF WE ARE LUCKY, the source will not be Americium 243 but rather Uranium 239 (in Fukushima); given the 2.4 day half life of Np 239, it is possible that source came directly across the jet-stream as Np-239. The result would be higher levels of Np-239 and Plutonium 239 the further west one went from Saint Louis.

Otherwise, the source would probably be Americium 243 created in the MOX fuel reactor at Fukushima Unit 3.

  • Maximum alert? If it was neptunium, it's already gone, genius. You even mention its short half-life in your post.

  • The severe flooding that occurred in Vermont was just upstream of nuclear powerplant there and I have seen many jobs recently posted for detecting radiation the the environment and treating people affected by radiation FOR Vermont just in the last 2 weeks.

  • On another note, MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) -- Health officials say a radioactive form of hydrogen that leaked from a Vermont nuclear plant into soil and groundwater has reached the nearby Connecticut River.

    State Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Harry Chen said Wednesday water samples from the shoreline near the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant last month tested positive for small amounts of tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that's been linked to cancer when ingested in large amounts.

  • Problem with nuke plants is not the reactor, itself, but the stored waste.
    We need a safe disposal area for this nasty shit.
