When Japan’s reactors were spewing radiation across the Pacific the fallout hit the west coast & northern states of the US & Canada because that was the path the jet stream carried it. One reactor was plutonium which catches fire when wet. Like you would see floating embers from a camp fire. The other 2 reactors were uranium. The smoke columns from burning plutonium covered the skies for over a year & a half. The depleted fuel rods were in open pools & the reactor casing burned through into the floor. The cooling system was lost by the floods. Depleted does not mean safe. They are about 50% level but I would have to check to be certain.
Texas wasn’t in the path of the fallout due to the changes in the jet streams normal path so we only had 11 mr/hr background radiation.
However, I just checked & we now have 18 mr/hr outside my front door. That’s the highest I’ve ever seen. Not dangerous. But is there another reactor damaged or is this from the sun & geomagnetic storm.
Earth's Axis has changed 
Japan was pro nuke at the time and into enrichment, they were not actually enriching Irans fuel, it would have been reprocessed in nitric acid and returned with a waste consignment, possibly just swapped for freeh rods since Japan makes all the worlds reactors at this time, the only steel fabrication plant which makes the containment vessels is Japanese. Irans plutonium was then used as mox fuel by tepco since the design allowed for it and as usual it was cheaper. Iran never needed reprocessed fuel for weapons, pile reactors do that, just add carbon and wait 5 year to uranium 238. Make sure your boy scout brings buckets of water for the fire.😱

Your info on the Japan nuclear power issue is excellent. Much better than anything I could find.

Gamma tends not to be blocked we are looking at several meters of steel for radiation shielding , we had to entomb the UK magnox reactors in cement because of ‘shine’ and it only dropped the level by 50%, My university tutor had one of his prior students work as an electrician for a day on the building and only after he had done the job did they ask him if he had any children because the radiation caused sterility- within a couple of hours. US PWR/PGR (westinghouse etc.)water reactors had to entomb within two steel pressure vessels, one containing the reactor and coolant and one to contain the hydrogen blast which also effectively eliminated the Gamma problem.
The Japanese Tepco reactors had blast doors separating the pressure vessel from the reactor and huge passive ventilation towers to expel hydrogen. What would have happened is a blast would have taken the route of least resistance and gone through the venting leaving the building intact. It was a dodgy westinghouse design intrinsically unsafe so extensive automation was used to power down the reactor which unlike magnox could not just have its moderators removed.
Magnox was a completely fail safe design with multiple redundancy safety features which passively stopped the reactor i.e. automatically removing the moderators to flooding the reactor with co2 coolant, they were just too expensive for government bean counters – and a convenient way to baste chicken from half a mile away. When you build them, on an island you put them at sea – Tsunamis don’t disturb large objects on deep water. which is also the coolant.

The demron suits are rated to block gamma but I suspect they wouldn’t work as well in the reactor containment room but they would be a heck of a lot better outside than the paper suits they gave them.
BTW, they pulled down my axis site & my Mars & moon sites today. They just now came back up. But they didn’t bother my Gen Patton site or other non alien related sites. This was deliberate. They deleted the server IP address. They are really paranoid about the new visitors.
If this happens again, go to divulgence.net for instructions but give me time to update it. I control that server.

The plutonium was mox from Iran which led to an interesting political confrontation between Israel and the then Japanese government
2010 (https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3853864,00.html) as you know these things are reported long after the event.
on March 11 2011 there was a 6 shindo scale reported which was mis-translated deliberately as a 9 Magnitude, there was no damage in any way to buildings which should have erased central Japan. Some time later a Tsunami hit the sendai region, it was not omni directional as a normal Tsunami but originated from a single point, and not as a wave which would be your earth wobble i.e. from several hundred miles of coast.
It took 8 hours for 3 reactor buildings to explode one after the other with one of them having been defueld and already part decommissioned with only the cooling pool on the roof still in use(I believe number 6).
During that time the staff were attempting to shut down the two reactors going out of control. by the instruments all seemed well right up until they exploded.
Magma the Israel based security company running site security had installed a unauthorised remote internet link to monitor the site linked to the Siemens control system and at least 2 external cameras indoors in the reactor rooms which were on independent armoured podiums and not asked for. The company also reported in an Israel newspaper that it monitored live the meltdown with the remote link in 2011 – I read this article. We cant say for sure if 1 + 1 = 2 but Magma is banned from Japan and in fact though its website is operational it shows no new business since.

They had to be nuts to use plutonium as a reactor fuel when uranium works fine & doesn’t catch fire in water. Plutonium should be completely banned from any use in any technology.
I had an oddly similar situation between Korea & Israel. I had to grab someone out of the assembly dept to translate Korean. Israel already spoke English. The Koreans had bought something from Israel which was having issues & the best I could do was to find a way for them to communicate.

I had no idea about Israel supplying the Plutonium. I’ll bet it has English printing & “made in America” on the container it came from.
Did you know Victoreen Geiger counters use one grain of plutonium stuck on the side with a plastic adhesive dot sticker for calibration. Those are supposed to be the Geiger counters of choice for nuke power plants. It’s a good thing the Radioactive boy scout didn’t know that years ago. His homemade reactor would have been far worse.

When I saw the Japanese nuclear plant crew in paper suits, I was incensed. That only blocks alpha & I’m not too sure about that because they are super porous.
The gamma blocking Demron suits were only about $350 in 2003. They Could have overnight rushed the suits. But if they cannot provide proper protection suits, hoods, meters, etc, they have no business owning & running a nuclear plant. No excuse.
