Professor Chris Busby Claims Fukushima is far worse than Chernobyl. He says plutonium, and uranium are being detected in car air filter's in Hawaii and the Marianas island's.
The Professor explains in this video.
In the following video Professor Busby explains why independent testing for radioactive contamination is necessary.
The main stream media lets the truth slip out sometimes. The video below was filmed on MSNBC on March 15, 2011. The interview was conducted when the accident at Fukushima was still rated at 6, below what Chernobyl was.Cenk Uygur interviewed nuclear reactor specialists Ken Bergeron. Mr Berguron performed research on nuclear reactor accident simulation's for Sandia National Labrotories in New Mexico.
William Milberry is a foreigner living in Japan. He made a video on how the Japanese government is dealing with food contamination. What he's uncovered is disturbing.
Arnie Gundersen is chief engineer of energy consulting company Fairewinds Associates and a former nuclear power industry executive. In the following video he explains the problems with the Fukushima Daiichi reactors.
Dr. Robert Jacobs is Research Associate Professor of Nuclear History and Culture at the Hiroshima Peace Institute. In the video below Dr. Jacobs gives insight on the Fukushima Daiichi tragedy, and explains the problem with the fourth reactor building .
Marco Kaltofen is an environmental scientist for Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The link below will take you to a recent interview Mr Kaltofen had. He discussed several issues regarding radioactive contamination. Pay special attention to 13:50-20:00 of the interview.
Paul Gunter is Director of the reactor oversight project of Beyond Nuclear. In the video below Director Gunter explains how grave the situation is in Japan.
Alex Jones is a radio talk show host. He claims Fukushima is fifty times worse than Chernobyl.
The nuclear power industry and their cronies will make the most preposterous claims. In the video below Ann Coulter makes the claim radiation is good for you.
The Chernobyl meltdown
The Soviet government made the following announcement two days after the accident.
"There has been an accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. One of the nuclear reactors was damaged. The effects of the accident are being remedied. Assistance has been provided for any affected people. An investigative commission has been set up."
Below is a link to Russian film maker Vladimir Shevchenko's final film. Notice how the troops were not informed of the dangers. Many didn't even wear their surgical mask's as they mined a tunnel under the monster. Scevchenko received a lethal dose of radiation while filming on the roof of the power station. His cameras became so incredibly radioactive, they were buried with him. Schevchenko, the soldier's, and all who suffered to bring the reactor under control were true hero's.

Americas Nuclear Nightmare
Arnie Gunderson gives his analysis on the new Westinghouse-Toshiba AP 1000 reactor. This design has several problems associated with it. In the video below Gunderson explains 6 areas where the NuclearRegulatory Commission has blatantly ignored the lessons of Fukushima. Currently, several of these designs are being proposed in the United States, including Georgia and South Carolina.

Radioactive rain
We've been measuring the radioactivity in rain water in Illinois. We discovered possible evidence the radiation may not be local radon progeny. We conducted two rain sample test's on 11-26-11. More rain test's will be conducted on this issue. You can watch our test here
www.youtube.com/user/radiationtest
The video "radioactive rain pt10" is a sum up video of "radioactive rain pt7, pt8, pt9.
The graph below shows the results of the test. The first rain sample was tested at 3:10pm(15:10). The second sample was tested at 7:45pm(19:45). This was from the same rain storm. The jet stream moved over our area after the first wipe. The half life is short, this fact may indicate radon, but the jet stream seemed to influence the radioactivity.

Random sampling test's
Radioactive salt substitute
On January 4, 2012 we tested 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 grams) of potassium salt. Potassium is naturally radioactive. We performed this test to prove the graph software and geiger are capable of detecting
contamination. Below you will see two graphs. The first graph displays 3 hours of data. The potassium was placed in front of the counter at 13:05hrs. The data to the left of 13:05hrs is background radiation, to the right is the potassium sample. The second graph displays 900 minute's of data. The spike on the far right side of the graph is the potassium sample. As you can clearly see, the graph gives us the ability to visually see radiation. Furthermore, the equipment should be able to detect radiation in smaller quantities than those in the potassium.
Canned food
On December 25, 2011 we tested a can of wild Alaskan pink salmon. The graph displays 3 hours of data. The salmon was placed in front of the geiger counter at 10:17pm (22:17hrs). The data to the left is background, to the right is the salmon.
Fast food/snack food test results
On January 9, 2012 we tested some instant noodles. The noodles were placed in front of the geiger counter at 11:45am. The graph below displays 3 hours of data. The data to the left of 11:45am is background radiation, to the right, the noodles.
On December 19, 2011 we tested a piece of pizza from a popular franchise. The graph below displays 3 hours of data. We placed the pizza sample in front of the geiger counter at 10:34pm (22:34hrs). The data to the left of the graph is background radiation, to the right is the pizza sample.
On December 13, 2011 we tested a piece of fried chicken from a popular franchise. The graph below shows the results of that test. The graph display's 3 hours of data.

November 2011, mushroom test
On November 28, 2011 we tested portabella mushrooms for radioactive contamination. Keep in mind the test was conducted with a halogen-quenched uncompensated GM with a thin mica window 1.5-2.0 mg/cm2. This type of geiger is not sensitive enough to detect low level contamination, but will detect high levels of contamination. Furthermore, the mushroom was not dehydrated, which would further limit the radioactivity detected. The graph below shows the results of the test. The mushroom sample was placed in front of the geiger counter at 8pm (2000hrs). The data to the left of 8pm is background radiation, to the right is the mushroom sample.

November 2011 milk test
We decided to perform a monthly milk test. Strontium 90 and other radionuclide's will end up in the milk of cows. The cows will graze in a field and eat contamination on the vegetation. The contamination will then concentrate in the milk.
After testing the milk We decided to perform a simmered milk test. We were not convinced the milk was uncontaminated after the first test. We simmered a half gallon of milk down into a paste and tested it. Below is the data from the simmered milk test. The graph shows 3 hours of data. The 90 minutes on the left is background, on the right is the milk sample.Simmered milk test
