[ RadSafe ] Nuclear-News Claims] Extremely radioactive particle found in Japan - 300 miles from Fukushima - News banned in Japan

Fri Apr 4 23:15:58 CDT 2014

Jaro,

    Are you referring to the screen images from 4:05 - 4:13/17:21?  Unfortunately, the screen shot capture and resolution is such that I can't see the X and Y axis units, or conclusively identify all of the listed elements.  It is interesting that the three highest peaks moving left from right appear to be Oxygen, Rubidium, and Silicon.  Due to the poor image resolution I can't tell for sure if the far left green box and the green box to the immediate left of Cesium (Cs) is Technetium (Tc) or Tellurium (Te).   Why is there only one peak for Cs if their was supposedly two isotopes of Cs present?

   According to Wikipedia, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubidium, the radioactive isotope of Rubidium, 87Rb, has a half-life of 49 billion years.  How long would one have to count a sample to be statistically confident that one has detectable amounts of 87Rb?  Is the purported particle sample size even large enough to have accomplished the necessary counting statistics?

Where did you see "Ce, Zr, Eu, Sm" ?

On this screen grab from the video, all I see is Si, Rb, O, Cs, Te, Sn, Fe,
Pb, etc.

The Si peak might perhaps be for Si-31 (153y HL), but it's a weird
combination of isotopes.

What I saw flashed up on the screen said "Ce, Zr, Eu, Sm".  In the past I've
had problems releasing Sm153 material due to Eu contamination.  Couldn't the
Eu and Sm be the result of a medical isotope treatment, see

Isn't it amazing that the one hottest hot particle in all of Japan, just 10
microns in diameter, just happened to get stuck on the blade of the razor
knife used to "sample "'the vacuum cleaner bags, or it would have been lost
for all time ?  Now what are the odds?  :)  

Interestingly the one x-ray spectrum they show looks a lot like some sort of
silicate - imagine a silicate being found in dust - AMAZING!  

Happy Friday, Everybody!
