Japanese radiation in Ireland now

giftgrub

Sent to me from a friend who's in the RPII mail list.

29th March 2011: The Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland (RPII) has confirmed that it has detected the presence of trace amounts of radioactivity from the Fukushima accident in Ireland. The amount of radio-iodine identified is extremely low, is consistent with levels found in other European countries and has no public health implications.



The sample was collected on the RPII’s high volume air sampler which is located in Dublin and samples extremely large volumes of air. The RPII’s national monitoring network is used to provide an early warning of elevated radioactivity levels and the high volume air sampling system is the most sensitive element of this network.

we will irradicate it by blasting it wi...

oh wait...cant use that anymore...

you get trace radiation off granite surfaces.

'No public health implications'? That's what they always say

Otherwise we end up in a 'War of the Worlds' scenario.

I have a collection of animals ready to bite me when the radiation levels reach just the right amount. Then superherodom here I come. Yaaaaaaay.

You might have a case that "Blasting it with Glowing Piss" is suffciently different to be considered a new phrase.

Right, I'm off to town to but lead and tinned foods.

Does this mean we'll get our own Godzilla now?

Eh.........Swanzilla?........................

Don't worry, a giant radioactive Polish fella will just eat swanzilla and we'll be saved.

That should ensure your brain is cooked properly all the way through alright. Then we won't have to feast on raw goo.

Time to crack open each other's heads and feast on the goo inside...

Blast it with...

Woohooo, a chance at last for me to wear my radiation suit in public. I've been waiting years for this, and they all laughed at me when I bought it. Well who's laughing now three ears????

I'm just sorry I bought it in luminous pink, it seemed very modern and flash in the early 80's (back then gay meant jumping around the place in a lively manner).

Interesting fact I heard on a science podcast last night

If you took every ounce of radioactive material out of fukishima and vapourised it

then released it into the atmosphere over the US it would still not expose people to any more radiation then they already receive

I think Ireland will be just fine

It wasn't found on the cabbage.

Another interesting fact, people who live near coal powered stations are more radioactive than those living near nuclear power stations due to small amounts of uranium etc. been present on the coal when it's combusted.

Twas ambiguous to be sure, just like Bronski Beat.

"Tell me why" they said.

So I did.

I heard nothing back.

Would now be a good time to take those iodine tablets?

Will we Dies?:eek:

Queue the token hippy mother earth loving person everyone has as a friend on facebook to start some big spiel about how we're all going to die from contamination when the Irish sea is in fact the most radioactive one in the world...

HULK LIKE MORE RADIATION!!!!

I thought there was something up at breakfast this morning all right when the young lad started looking like the Ready Brek Man...

We don't want facts, man.

We want baseless hysteria.

Does this mean that if we just left the plant the way it is everything would be fine or is the fact that the area over the US is so vast. I suppose it would still mean Japan is f**ked.

So they would then have up to twice the level of radiation they were exposed to previously (2 + 2 = 4)

we get more radioactive **** from the British than we do from the Japanesse

My name is URL

Does anyone know where you can check to see what the average background radiation level is for the area tested today?

A friend of my uncle's cousin told me that iodine tablets turned to LSD after 10 years.....
