Massive Xenon Radiation Cloud Hitting US & Canada

I'm glad it's one of the lesser evils, but the real concern is all of the different forms, some light, some heavy.  Even if always coming days later and more dilute, radiation accumulates in the body unless something is done to purge it, like chelation, green clay, and those various other protocols.  So, it's basically something that we have to be aware of constantly to try to avoid ingesting (food, water or air) and to do the protocols to remove any that does get in there.  I know plutonium is being found in the soil around Fukushima and has made it to the US.  It only takes some incredibly small amount, like a millionth of a gram, to cause cancer if it stays in the body long enough. 

Read The Nuclear War Survival Skills book.  It gives a lot of information about radiation and helps us to understand the enemy so we can deal with it effectively.

Xenon 133 has a half life of 5.243 days, so at least whatever falls out should be relatively safe after 60 days or so. I think I remember dutchsinse saying it was also very light and non-water soluble as well, so that explains the large concentration making it across the Pacific. Perhaps it won't accumulate in rain like I-131 & Cs-137 than? Not much of a silver lining I suppose, but I'll take what I can get.

Very frustrating, Jonas.  To avoid it, you have to practically become a hermit.

Rosemary,

I found this:  "Radioactive xenon isotopes are created during a fission reaction process and can cause lung diseases if a person is exposed to very high concentrations. However, it is much less dangerous than iodine and cesium."

Hawaii is getting hit too. I think it was in the Helen caldicott speech that I heard that filters in Hawaii we're picking up plutonium and cesium in trace amounts. We are all in this together, at least in the northern hemisphere. Sooo frustrating ...

I think Hawaii gets hit as the plumes of radiation head toward the US west coast.  Maybe not all the time, depends on which way the winds are blowing?

Hawaii??????

Radioactive fallout can be washed off.  If we plant in containers, we can shelter the plants better.  Or learn how to garden hydroponically.  Sprouts can be grown indoors.  Devise hot frames (instead of cold frame) to protect plants from fallout.  We are going to have to do this ourselves, because commercially grown crops are not going to be protected.  Once people start ingesting radiation, cancer will be just around the corner.  This is something that cannot be ignored.  We all have got to learn how to combat fallout, grow our own food (at least as much as possible), or else accept the fact we are going to have a shortened lifespan.

There is not a whole lot we can do about any of it. I put the garden out knowing all this stuff is coming this way.

The cloud contains radioactive xenon.
