5/31/2013 NASA Publishes Radiation Readings From Curiosity's Trip to Mars
Date: 5/31/2013
by: admin
A recent article published by NASA (5/30/2013) showed that Curiosity's RAD (radiation assessment detector) measured radiation on its trip to Mars to be 1.8 milliSieverts of GCR (galactic cosmic rays) per day while enclosed within the MSL (Mars Science Lab). Converting to the commonly used μSv/h scale (e.g. 1.8 * 1000/24) we get 75 μSv/h. As an informal comparison I drilled down on the MEXT radiation station data from Fukushima prefecture in Japan to see what the highest reading was. According to MEXT (Ministry of Education, Sports, Culture, Science and Technology) data for their "Ottozawa three district meeting place" the reading as of 5/31/2013 CST was about 29.04 μSv/hr, or 407 times the normal background radiation level.
Extrapolating then from our data (75/29.04 * 407) an astronaut riding within the MSL would receive an hourly radiation dose 1051 times higher than the level (according to MEXT of .037 μSv/hr) expected within Japan under normal conditions.
More comparisons can be garnered from the NASA article Data from NASA Rover's Voyage to Mars Aids Planning and also Wired Magazine's recent piece Radiation Risk for Mars Astronauts Will Be Dangerously High.

There are fears that militant violence in West Africa is spreading after
a double suicide attack in Niger which left more than 20 people dead,

They are the first such attacks experienced by the country which is involved in a French-led offensive in neighbouring Mali against Islamist rebels.
At Agadez in the north, around 20 troops were killed and 16 others injured when the bombers attacked an army barracks. A French-run uranium mine at Arlit was also targeted.
The MUJWA, a West African offshoot of al Qaeda's North African wing has claimed responsibility. The group was among Islamist forces ousted from northern Mali earlier this year.
The Algerian commander Mokhtar Belmokhtar "supervised" the attacks, according to a Mauritanian news agency. In March the Chadian army said it had killed him but this was never confirmed.
Security had been stepped up at the uranium mine operated by the French nuclear group Areva. A car bomb there left one person dead and many injured.
The attacks are seen as evidence that the conflict in Mali is spilling over.
The French President Francois Hollande has vowed to protect his nation's interests and to support Niger in its "fight against terrorism".

5/18/2013 Hamburg ‘avoids radiation disaster’ as ship loaded with fissile material, explosives burns (VIDEO)
Source: Russia Today
Date: 5/18/2013
The German city of Hamburg likely avoided a major technological disaster on May 1, when a freighter ship caught fire. It had several tons of radioactive material and explosives among its cargo, it was revealed.
It took 200 firefighters working for several hours to douse the fires on the Atlantic Cartier. The ship’s most visible cargo was some 70 cars, 30 of which were damaged in the incident. But now it was revealed that the vessel also had highly dangerous substances on board as well, which posed the threat of radioactive contamination to the area.

5/10/2013 St. Louis Is Burning

There's
a fire burning in Bridgeton, Missouri. It's invisible to area
residents, buried deep beneath the ground in a North St. Louis County
landfill. But the smoldering waste is an unavoidable presence in town,
giving off a putrid odor that clouds the air miles away – an
overwhelming stench described by one area woman as "rotten eggs mixed
with skunk and fertilizer." Residents report smelling it at K-12 school
buses, a TGI Fridays and even the operating room of a local hospital.
"It smells like dead bodies," observes another local.

5/4/2013 Mystery of radioactive rain in Brazil; Chris Busby

Video Description
Chris Busby says:
The decay of Radon, Rn-222 which involved gamma rays over the short term is as follows:
Rn-222 half life 3.8days , then Po-218 (3.05mins), Pb-214 (26.8mins), Bi-214 (19.9mins), Po-214 (164uSec), Pb210 (22.3y)
Of these only Ra-222 and Bi-214 give appreciable gamma radiation. The weighted contribution is about 60 Ra-222 to 80 Bi-214. The Brazil rain samples decay with an overall half life of about 37 minutes (16uSv/h to 1uSv/h in 150 min; Four half lives 16,8,4,2,1). If we assume that the radon was generated from radium a few hours before it was detected in the rain, that suggests Bismuth 214 as the origin of the signal. Bi-214 may have a higher concentration in the rain due to fractionation (since it is a solid and Ra222 a gas; it may form some kind of Bismuth hydroxide). The reason it is high in Brazil is there is a lot of Radium in Brazil. Of course, this means that rain can be a radon exposure hazard from external gamma and also drinking fresh rainwater. Not just in Brazil. I have not heard that anyone has realised this or that the official risk agencies have stated it anywhere. Look for diarrhea and flu like symptoms after heavy rain. Thanks to Samuel dal Pizzol and other radiation measurers for discovering this!

2 years after the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant,
more than 150,000 people in Fukushima Prefecture are still forced to
leave their homes and try to rebuild their lives amid the threat of
radiation exposure. We'll look into the unprecedented challenges they
are facing.

I apologize for the mediocre quality of the video. It is a broadcasting issue, perhaps solar activity and it does happen occasionally. There is a very limited time period to capture these documentaries, only a few times during a 48 hour period and then NHK pulls them down from their site.
