Fukishima

[goldentree]

I am gathering as much information as I can about radiation. Since EU theory occasionally defies convention I thought I would ask if electric principals of radiation are well understood. I am definitely a lay person.I am not getting a lot of concrete information. Anyone else seeing blurbs like these popping up around the web? http://enenews.com/ As I search through blogs I find are outdated hyperbole that doesn't reflect TEPCO's most recent admissions.. It seems it's all just opinions. How does radiation travel? Is Fukishima as ominous as RECENT statements coming out of TEPCO indicate?

I think the first thing you should do is research enenews. My results seem to indicate it should be called the Nuclear Inquirer, but maybe you'll find more than I could. As in all cases involving nuclear matters, it is very controversial and highly emotional. I do think though that you should watch or listen to talks by Galen Winsor before you settle on any opinion, as he is the 'straight goods' as far as I can determine.

There is also good radiation > http://www.angelfire.com/mo/radioadaptive/inthorm.html

As for the science itself, radiation are particles, but they impact our cells because the particles are larger. We are continually impacted by photons but they are too small too cause damage, the harming radiation particles are bigger (ions) and when the dose is high enough, will do damage (it disrupts normal cell workings, by damage on a molecular level).

Thanks so much to both of you. I will look into both references.

As for the EU and radiation. I am not sure to what electric principals you are referring to. EU does have something to say on decay rates, mainstream has proven that decay rates vary with the seasons and EU says that decay rates are not reliable because cataclysmic events (CME's, planetary discharges) can also influence decay rates.

Kind regards,
