 The head of the Geological Survey of Pakistan confirmed that the mass was created by the quake and said scientists were trying to determine how it happened. Zahid Rafi said such masses are sometimes created by the movement of gases locked in the earth under the sea, pushing mud and earth up to the surface in something akin to a mud volcano.

As an Disaster/Emergency Preparedness blogger and Prepper, the #FukushimaCrisis has been on the short list for "Game Changers" on my #SHTF List.  The effects of leaking Radioactive Waste Water into the Pacific Ocean should have more than most worried about the severe potential of an ongoing disaster that it is.

We have been covering the Disaster at Fukushima since the beginning and mitigation of the Radioactive materials is becoming increasingly unlikely.  Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) is either covering up the actual severity of the situation -or- completely unable to handle the situtation.

Worst case scenarios are everywhere.  Better to follow the facts

• Leaking Tanks and Melting Cores at the facility are not being contained
• Reported leaking of 300-400 tonnes of Radioactive Waste Water have been flowing in to the Pacific for almost 1000 days
• Cesium 134 & Cesium 137 (Cesium Brothers), RadioIodine, and Strontium 90 are all components of the Waste Water (not to mention the other noxious chemicals associated with Nuclear Clean-Up)
• Plans to contain Leaking from main reactor site by "Freezing the Ground" are shaky at best, possibly leading to a "quicksand" like effect on the facility as a whole...
• Japanese Government is taking over containment and mitigation and are not much more proficient or forthcoming as TEPCO
• The Pacific Food Chain is already affected and will be for many more years, most of which depending when the leaking actually is ceded
• Nuclear Risk to area and worldwide are being reported lower than actual, 3X Chernobyl at this point and getting worse
• Mass Market media is leery of reporting the Real threat to the United States for whatever reason
• FDA is not addressing Radioactive Contamination issue

A Brief History:

• The earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 knocked out cooling systems to reactors at the Fukushima plant, three of which

Biological Alert: 

Tap water has been turned off for Lyons, a town of about 2,000 people located some 17 miles north of Boulder that was decimated by the floods, after tests showed the bacteria Escherichia coli, better known as #E.coli

While most E. coli strains are harmless and live in healthy humans and animals’ intestines, the bacteria can cause diarrhea, urinary tract infections, pneumonia and other illness when passed through contaminated water or food, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“There has been a breach, and we don’t want you using any of the water,” Lyons town administrator Victoria Simonsen said at a public meeting Thursday. “… It’s critical we get that back up and get it disinfected before we would … want any of you to be back.”

Colorado Flooding Triggers Oil Spills, Shutdowns

DENVER September 19, 2013 (AP)

By COLLEEN SLEVIN and MATTHEW BROWN Associated Press

Colorado's flooding shut down hundreds of natural gas and oil wells in the state's main petroleum-producing region and triggered at least two spills, temporarily suspending a multibillion-dollar drilling frenzy and sending inspectors into the field to gauge the extent of pollution.

Besides the possible environmental impact, flood damage to roads, railroads and other infrastructure will affect the region's energy production for months to come. And analysts warn that images of flooded wellheads from the booming Wattenberg Field will increase public pressure to impose restrictions on drilling techniques such as fracking.

ACAPULCO, Mexico — The death toll rose to 47 Tuesday from the unusual one-two punch of a tropical storm and a hurricane hitting Mexico at nearly the same time. Authorities scrambled to get help into, and stranded tourists out of, the cutoff resort city of Acapulco.
With roads blocked by landslides, rockslides, floods and collapsed bridges, Acapulco was cut off from road transport after Tropical Storm Manuel made landfall on Sunday. The terminal at the city's international airport was flooded, but not the landing strips.
Emergency flights began arriving in Acapulco to evacuate at least 40,000 mainly Mexican tourists stranded in the resort city where some streets were transformed into raging brown rivers. .
Interior Secretary Miguel Angel Osorio Chong told the Radio Formula that 27 people had died because of the storm in the Pacific coast state of Guerrero, where Acapulco is located. Osorio Chong said 20 more

On the Heels of Last Week's RAD Spike...

A Different Radiological Spike - Tritium!!!

Tritium levels spike 15-Fold at stricken #Fukushima nuclear plant

TOKYO | Wed Sep 11, 2013 11:17am BST  

(Reuters) - The operator of the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant said levels of tritium - considered one of the least harmful radioactive elements - spiked more than 15 times in groundwater near a leaked tank at the facility over three days this week.
Tokyo Electric Power Co (#Tepco) said tritium levels in water taken from a well close to a number of storage tanks holding irradiated water rose to 64,000 becquerels per liter on Tuesday from 4,200 becquerels/liter at the same location on Sunday.
Tepco said last month that 300 metric tons of highly radioactive water leaked from one of the hastily built steel tanks at the plant, which was crippled by a massive earthquake and tsunami in March 2011.
A #Tepco representative told reporters on Wednesday the company was investigating the high tritium reading and could not rule out the possibility that last month's leak had contaminated the groundwater.
The elevated readings of radioactive elements at the plant come just days after Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told the

Radiation levels hit new high near Fukushima water tanks

4 September 2013 Last updated at 04:55 ET

Tepco faces a major challenge to safely store contaminated water at Fukushima

Radiation levels around tanks storing contaminated water at Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant have risen by a fifth to a new high, officials say.

Ground readings near one set of tanks stood at 2,200 millisieverts (mSv) on Tuesday, the plant operator and Japan's nuclear authority said.
Saturday's reading was 1,800 mSv.

Last month, plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) said it had found highly contaminated water leaking from a storage tank.
Other leaks have also been reported, prompting the government on Tuesday to pledge 47bn yen ($473m, £304m) in funding to tackle the problem.
The spike in radiation levels found on Tuesday was in the same area where the 1,800 mSv level was detected on Saturday, a spokeswoman from #Tepco told Bloomberg.

Contamination levels skyrocket at Fukushima plant, up nearly 2,000% — NHK: Quadrillions of becquerels already released; “Gov’t needs to take charge entirely” (VIDEO)

Kyodo News, September 1, 2013: Very high radiation levels were observed Saturday at three tanks and one of the pipes connecting them at the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, pointing to the possibility that radioactive water may have newly leaked, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said. The radiation readings were from 70 to 1,800 millisieverts per hour [...]

Shunichi Tanaka, Nuclear Regulation Authority chairman (Aug. 28, 2013)

JIJI PRESS, Aug. 31, 2013: Saturday’s highest reading [of 1,800 millisieverts per hour] was measured at one of the two tanks, with the radiation level jumping from 100 millisieverts.
CBS News, Aug. 28, 2013 (Emphasis Added): “What’s important is not the number itself but to give a basic idea about the extent of the problem,” authority chairman Shunichi Tanaka said [...] Tanaka said there is a much larger ongoing problem at the plant: massive amounts of contaminated ground water reaching the sea. But that problem cannot even be rated under the IAEA’s International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale because it is unknown exactly how much ground water is escaping, how contaminated it is and what effect it is having on the sea and marine products. [...] “I’m baffled,” he said.
WSJ, Aug. 28, 2013: “It could be much more or much less,” [Shunichi Tanaka, chairman of the Nuclear Regulation Authority] added, saying that Tepco calculated the amount based on the assumption that the tank had been full. [...] A Tepco spokeswoman said “it’s true that we calculated 300 tons. We cannot say whether we will or we won’t change it later.”
NHK, Aug. 30, 2013: Major leak [...] releasing several quadrillion becquerels of radioactive particles [...] the government needs to take charge entirely.
