Radiation Spewing Into The Sea
Unbelievable is Rachael Harvey
reporting for the BBC World News
who thinks radiation spewing
into the sea off the island of Honshū
from the number two nuclear reactor
at crippled Fukushima is good news.
Reminiscent of when Zeinab Badawi
reporting live on earthquake tsunami
devastation said present death toll is
five might rise but dark horror wave
witnessed foretold desolation death
mind not wanted faced acknowledged.
Quicker safer to find contain leakages
reducing contamination exposure
to nuclear hazards for at risk environs
would be to use a Geiger Counter
do you think with Geiger-Mueller
(G-M) Tube or Probe to fast measure
for rapid radiation interactive detection
or use a Portable Multichannel Analyzer,
Ionization (Ion) Chamber, Radon Detectors,
MicroR Meter with Sodium Iodide Detector,
or fast find leak with a Neutron REM Meter
with Proportional Counter spot leaky reactor.
Breach must have been high-level radiation
initially or why was ALARA not achieved?
Standard desirable procedure keep radiation
exposure (as low as reasonably achievable) .
Employ time distance shielding techniques.
Plan work before entering the radiation field.
Reading instructions by torch light at source
radiation leak reactor lacks professionalism.
No efficient plan inspires vote no confidence.
Kamikaze plant workers attempting repairs
exposed time critical in lethal radiation field
emergency training work quickly efficiently.
Ground zero work square root source distance
contamination radioactive atoms is deposited
on materials clothing externally contaminated
not breathed in on skin internally contaminated
highly penetrating electromagnetic radiation is
gamma radiation x rays inches in human tissue
are eating penetrating into bone to core marrow
time distance extreme internal radiation dose
is slicing dicing hope dreams happy tomorrow
iodine-131, cesium-137, cobalt-60, radium-226,
technetium-99m etc all choice brew nuclear stew
plutonium-239 in bomb 'Fat Man' bright blew
half-life 24,100 years now time fear nuclear flu
lucky Nagasaki 'Little Boy' bomb dropped on
Hiroshima was uranium-235a half-life of 700
million years regardless of half life concentrated
leaking nuclear waste wants to death deal you
personally date a cape take you permanently out
scary not really each year about 20 tonnes
of weapons military-grade plutonium is still
by-product produced in your nuclear power
industry its yours because consequences are
global extermination hit a few with meteors
rockets watch mountain radiation they spew
also believe not disinformation lie nuclear
power plants do not produce weapons grade
plutonium and other radioactive products far
more radioactive than initial source material
they do fuel sources safer were available but
big business oiled profit screwed safe options

Tepco Trying To Fix Cracks In Their Nuclear Reactor
Tepco reported “high levels of radioactive substances
in water that leaked from a hole near the reactor
leading to the sea” tepco tokyo electric power co
nuclear power plant in Japan multi radioactive breaches
advancing half a league, half a league, half a league
onward, all into the Pacific Ocean sweeps
nuclear radiation, but now we have permission to
pump 10,000 tons of problem only oh so slightly
radioactive water slightly radioactive water
hardly inspiring with detailed scientific accuracy
oh must be all okay then a little arsenic with your tea
how about a nice invigorating swim why dismayed
not tho’ the public knew scientists had blundered
public not to make reply public not to reason why
Tepco said it had detected cracks in an 8-inch hole
of concrete that holds power cables close to reactor
unit 2 the one serving up nuclear stew for me for you
Tepco is trying to fix the hole in their nuclear reactor
this might explain repeated high levels of radioactivity
found in offshore sea water but then again it might not
it might be coming from oh any of many plant cracks
using coloured dyes we try to track leak radioactivity
first we pour in concrete to plug the hole but no
concrete will not dry in all that accumulated water
next we try paper mashe not paste water powder
we resort to using newspaper and sawdust as we try
to block pipes using a polymer mixed shredded paper
and sawdust to try to close off pipes through which
water has flowed into a cracked Fukushima concrete pit
at the Daiichi plant from where it has run into the sea
yes pouring polymeric powder, sawdust, newspaper
anything things they could think of to clog up holes
heroic efforts made by nuclear safety agency experts
brains clogging up holes while all the world wonder’d
risking their lives nuclear workers theirs but to do or die
contaminated seawater shows illegal radiation levels at
4,000 times the legal level with no difference in amount
of water running out after they poured cement into the pit
Tepco needs to take steps to stop leaks once and for all
is stating the obvious at beleaguered nuclear power plant
battles with a radioactive water leak into the Pacific but
one regional problem in expected season of mega quakes

Nuclear Explosion At Fukushima Nuclear Reactor No.3
by March 28 2011 plutonium
had been detected in soil at
five locations at Fukushima Power Plant
operators at Fukushima nuclear complex
believed plutonium had been discharged
from exposed disintegrating fuel rods
damaged post March 11 no explosions
post devastating earthquake tsunami
plutonium citizens is a silvery-grey metal
that becomes yellowish when exposed
to air solid under normal conditions
chemically reactive radio reactive
but not desired in your reception area
therefore imagine concern when
“yellow rain” seen in Kanto region
surrounding Tokyo supposedly caused
by pollen not radioactive materials
as many Japanese residents feared
Meteorological Agency publicly said
an intellect would think not pollen experts
plutonium at least 15 different isotopes
all are radioactive most common ones
are Pu-238, Pu-239, Pu-240 and Pu-238
a half-life of 87.7 years not as scary
as Plutonium-239 a half-life of 24,100 years
Pu-240 has a half-life 6,560 years
220 km northeast of central Tokyo
according to Environment Ministry
large amounts of air-borne pollen
were seen in downwind Kanto region?
pollen fell with rain Wednesday
do you wonder why ‘concerned’
citizens who reported strange yellowish
residue had never before experienced
a rainfall that contained mystery pollen?
do you wonder why news report referred
“to explosions at Fukushima No.1 Plant
leaving out March 14 ‘mushroom cloud’
explosion that occurred at Fukushima No.3? ”
‘Yellow Rain’ fell two days after March 14
explosion Nuclear reactor No.3 this reactor
contains plutonium-uranium mixed oxide fuel
(MOX) , ‘deadliest substance known to man
which is extremely difficult to detect so lie lie
tell me I spew but not from catchy nuclear flu
I watched that blast I knew what you would do
two weeks post March 11 Japan 9.0 earthquake
tsunami Prime Minister Naoto Kan spoke
“The situation continues to be highly grave and
serious, and we must remain on high alert, ” and
“The burden (of the disaster) should not fall only
on the shoulders of individuals and their families,
but should be borne by the nation as a whole.”
I fear this prophecy I fear new disaster nuclear flu
plants grow in contaminated soil absorb plutonium
Japanese Nuclear Plant Reactor Core Breached
no mention of types of radioactivity released
Japanese nuclear crisis relax damaged nuclear
reactors are venting smoke vapour but no
mention of exact isotopes now being emitted
plutonium fuel melted inside core being vented
out explosion broke containment shield we have
a quarter of a tonne additional plutonium in reactor
radioactive releases containing plutonium Pandora
your box is open so where to dump radioactive slag
horror is now deal with it slight of hand pretend
to carry radioactive water out to sea in barges
which you could pump straight into sea safely
hide slag fuel rods under water in viewed barges
dump hot load into an oceanic trench case closed
no I shall decline fish for a while steamed over

Lemmings Into The Sea
How to watch an atomic blast?
From 200 miles away, hands over closed eyes.
Even then, light is so intense
you see all the bones in your hand.
Within miles of epicenter, everything vaporizes.
You are ash in atomized flash.
Lucky you, slowly drifting to radiated earth
radioactive fallout - atomized out of it now.
Winds over 500 miles an hour
hurl buildings bodies through air.
Those in shelters are pressure-cooked
by giant incinerating fire storms.
Bacteria, from millions of unburied dead,
produce all manner of admirable epidemics.
Your immune system - ruined by radiation
you are at merciless mercy of horrific plagues.
The luckless living envy the ashen dead.
Much as dedicated doctors
would like to help
you in this, your hour of agony,
they will not be alive.
City, health workers, medical supplies,
do not exist! Only
molten memories of a bygone time.
Forget it all, speak of neutered now
in safe terminology of science,
United Nations comfort us now.
Ostrich head in sand man
I see only apocalyptic apathy,
in your ironic terms now.
Ours is an unprecedented age
we witness surgical agony of birth,
on a tightrope, with repercussions echoing
to doomed depths of oblivion.
Outstripped evolutionally morally
in a new sociology we grapple
with conflicting split emotions,
by virtue of new trinity necessity.
Peacemaker Missile? Hitting multiple targets
in same guideable instant of misguided time.
Enhanced Radiation Warhead leaves buildings intact
kills only targeted metropolis people.
Warfare finally in regimented step
with the jaundice judicial process
which places property and wealth
above undervalued human life.
M.A.D. not meaning insane
but Mutual Assured Destruction.
20 megatons a bomb equals a thousand Hiroshima’s.
Plus one Trident submarine, carries 24 missiles,
with 408 warheads like a thousand destroying suns?
Nitrous oxides
from a fraction of man’s
nuclear stockpiles
would destroy,
earth’s critical filter.
Children live near meltdown,
Atomic Power Plants,
building radioactive sandcastles.
Play in contaminated dirt die young
must be the new nuclear flu.
Dump lethal waste in dying sea
it is only lethal radioactive waste
for a quarter million, half life years?
And cast concrete blocks might last
200 hardened years possibly?
I want to grow up not blow up
scribbled on the wall in crayon.
Who is going to kill
a million dollar a minute industry?
Unintelligible.
The Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima, August 6,1945 was potentially possible, after the Manhattan Project produced the first three viable weapons. The Trinity Test, July 16,1945, was the successful ground based test of Gadget; a plutonium bomb, atop a 100-foot tower, in the Jornado del Muerto Valley in New Mexico.

What is the only provocation that could bring about the use of nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons. What is the priority target for nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons. What is the only established defense against nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons. How do we prevent the use of nuclear weapons? By threatening the use of nuclear weapons. And we can't get rid of nuclear weapons, because of nuclear weapons. The intransigence, it seems, is a function of the weapons themselves.

Chernobyl
When Russia tried to keep quiet
over the disaster
of a exploding nuclear reactor
the whole of Europe was radiated
satellites saw the explosion
with flames shooting up,
radiation going into the air
being swept away on the wind
and all of the people fighting against the disaster
got a death sentence,
the towns of Chernobyl and Pripyat is now empty
with no living beings moving there
and the impact circled out much wider
and in Russia people are still suffering from it.

Heavy duty classified dudes. (Date? Rating? Location?
Unknown?) Soviet icebreaker ‘Lenin’, “USSR’s first
nuclear-powered surface ship, suffered a major accident
(possibly a meltdown...) in one of its three reactors.
To find the leak the crew broke through the concrete and
steel radiation shield with sledgehammers, causing
irreparable damage. It was rumored that around 30 of the
crew were killed. The ship was abandoned for a year to
allow radiation levels to dropp before the three reactors
were removed, to be dumped into the Tsivolko Fjord on
the Kara Sea, along with 60% of the fuel elements packed
in a separate container.” Soviet widow maker. Winter 1966-1967
Now we return to previous country entrant two.

Chernobyl Ukraine (USSR) rating 7 “Widespread
health and environmental effects. External release
of a significant fraction of reactor core inventory.” 1986
So brief? Someone really hid scary data on this mega
disaster. Power excursion, explosion, complete meltdown.
Fifty fatalities initially reported mostly cleanup personnel.
explosion combustion of graphite reactor core spread
radioactive material across Europe. “100,000 people
were evacuated from the areas immediately surrounding
Chernobyl in addition to 300,000 from the areas of heavy
fallout in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia” still radiating.
“An 'Exclusion Zone' was created surrounding the site
encompassing approximately 1,000 mi² (3,000 km²) ”
and deemed off-limits for human habitation... studies
by governments, UN agencies and environmental groups

in the USA. Relatively few accidents involved fatalities.” Statistics?
The “Paul Scherrer Institute found in separate studies that during
the period from 1970 to 1992, there were just 39 on-the-job deaths
of nuclear power plant workers worldwide.” Stuart Arm found none?
Most sources quoted were limited to the “List of civilian nuclear accidents - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia” to allow reader ease in data checking.

Nuclear Infected
I'm nuclear infected
I really don't mind
I just go out when the sun goes down
And have a real good time.
I can clear out any ballgame
In a minute and a half
Just show up - glow up
And have a real good laugh
When I'm happy I glow yellow
When I'm sad I glow blue
And I glow red hot when I'm in bed with you
I'm nuclear infected
Really ain't that bad
In fact it's about the best time
I guess I ever had
I'm nuclear infected
Looking for a mate
So slip on something lead, babe
And go out on a date
When I'm happy I glow yellow
When I'm sad I glow blue, yeah
And I glow red hot when I'm in bed with you
Nuclear infected....... don't make me angry
Nuclear infected....... don't make shake
Nuclear infected....... don't get me to sneeze
Nuclear infected....... that's a big mistake
I want to live on Three Mile Island
Where things are clean and neat
'Cause we don't have no health freaks
Clutterin' up our streets
I'm nuclear infected, I need something to eat
A China Syndrome Salad with plutonium and cheese.
When I'm happy I glow yellow
When I'm sad I glow blue
And I glow red hot when I'm in bed with you

Harsh Word
harsh word
is like nuclear radiation
though the land's green back again like heaven
it always stained, it never forget
only hiding behind micro particle
sutures forever

Become A Person Of Value: Vote Peace
It was Albert Einstein who said
'Try not to become a man of success,
but rather try to become a man of value.'
I forgive my humble point, fail to see value,
in nations press gang forcing their top league
nuclear physicists into race creating insane;
weapons of mass destruction to obliterate
foreign flag civilian cites filled with victim
men women children military maps targeted;
propaganda sold to herd morons tax supporting,
believing in first strike winnable nuclear holocaust.
'M.A.D. not meaning insane but Mutual Assured
Destruction.20 megatons a bomb equals
a thousand Hiroshima's.' Manhattan Project
Trinity Test Gadget plutonium bomb atop;
a 100-foot tower is ghost nuclear nightmare haunting
threatening human race survival doomed to 'dumb'
prepared (deep underground military bunkers) elite;
classified selected citizens living in new age cities,
your plebs tax dollar paid for, never knew existed?
Hide in earthquake proof caves below molten seas.
War sick skull & bones millions of dollars a minute
industry playing Russian Roulette with Peacemaker
nuclear Missiles political leadership new world order!
I reaffirm what I proclaimed in 1984 world vision.
'Bacteria, from millions of unburied dead,
produce all manner of admirable epidemics.
Your immune system - ruined by radiation
you are at merciless mercy of horrific plagues.
The luckless living envy the ashen dead.'
It was Albert Einstein who said
'Try not to become a man of success,
but rather try to become a man of value.'
I think I'm onto it, victims of vision dreams, live this formula.
It is wrong to stockpile play with arsenals of nuclear weapons!
Illuminati kill peacemakers Gandhi, Malcolm X, Doctor King.
'The flash of the president's pen
deals with the life of men.
Starting a war settling a score
all happens so far away.
(Invasion Iraq Afghanistan Libya
puppet oil wars killing your sons.)
Why gamble your life away
why drink into the grave
why sign the death of an age?
It takes a man to say he's wrong
a man to stop the bomb;
any imbecile can push a button.'
