Gamma Radiation In Fukushima-Downwind Ibaraki Disclosed, 30 Times Above Normal

For all who have been looking for realtime radiation data from Japan, you are  in luck. Or maybe not, as the data unfortunately indicates nothing good. The  System for Prediction of Environment Emergency Dose Information (SPEEDI) releases gamma radiation data online.  The site is jittery and apparently not suited for major traffic which is why we  represent several screen captures of the data. While it is not surprising that  according to the website both Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures are entirely  “Under Survey” as it makes sense that the government does not  want to generate panic, SPEEDI has disclosed some tell-tale data about cities in  Ibaraki prefecture, which is just a hundred or so miles north of Tokyo, and is  just south of the ill-fated Fukushima prefecture. And the data is  stunning: based on a N, NE and NNE wind direction (where it originates), meaning  all coming from Fukushima, with a normal reading in the 80 nGy/h range, the city  of Kounosu Naka is at 3,024, Kadobe Naka is at 2,416, Isobe Hitachioota is at  1,213 and many others are in the mid to upper triple digit range!  Again, this is based on wind coming out of Fukushima and ultimately headed  toward the capital. Indicatively, normal terrestrial plus cosmic gamma radiation  is about 80 nGy/h
