In this thread, the condescending know-it-all DUmmy nadinbrzhzhzhski takes time out from predicting bloody civil insurrections to lecture the DUmp on her preparations for what she hopes will be a trans-Pacific nuclear holocaust. As a bonus, she introduces the DUmmies to a new Word of the Week. I'll bet DUmmy nadin was a barrel of laughs during the countdown to Y2K.

So now that they have told us
Primary Containment might have been breached (In POI language that means it has... you has to tell the truth creatively)... we are told that there is absolutely no danger to the West Coast and the US Mainland. Has anyone told these rubes we are not rubes and can check a ****ING JET STREAM? This is global.
Today geting canned veggies, for a month and yes, dry milk. The leading edge will not get here for eight days.
Oh and yes I forgot water.
That is all I can do...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x652615Please, know-it-all nadin, tell us how much water to stockpile!

1. How much water are you stockpiling? (curious)

2. I think for two weeks... there is a limit
but my tap water comes from a reservoir... I am starting to buy it today.
But, know-it-all nadin, won't rain wash that radioactive dust out of the atmosphere?

3. If it does come close to America, they might try cloud seeding to get it to precipitate out over...
the Pacific.
Just anything we can do to keep it from coming to America!
But...oh, no! The millions of square miles of Pacific Ocean will be poisoned!

4. What will it do to the ocean?
But won't the dust runoff into the ocean anyway, know-it-all nadin?

5. Wouldnt it end up there eventually from runoff?

8. Yeah it will end up there anyway
The amounts we will get here should be minimal, but...
Uh oh. DUmmy Sirveri hints at know-it-all nadin's abject ignorance. The radioactivity will be gaseous? No dust to wash out of the atmosphere? Stupid nadin!

11. iodine is a gas and won't precipitate. However it also only has a half of 8 days.
So half of it will be gone by the time it reaches us. 40 days and it's down to 1/32 of original strength. 80 days and it's pretty much gone at 1/1024 original level.
Know-it-all DUmmy nadinbrzhzhzhzhski bobs and weaves, but the stupid stick landed a hard blow to her arrogant noggin:

14. And cows concentrate it through mammary glands
They are REALLY EFFICIENT about that.
You know that, I know that. Why I said a month at most

18. Milk (dairy) has traditionally been the source of concern....
I wonder how much risk would be associated with drinking water.... I really hadn't thought this aspect through, but it seems relatively low risk.

20. Time\Distance it is very low
Unfortunately I had to make this something I thought off more or less regularly for ten years.
Yes thanks to the plant up the road we had to consider that.

6. And you're stockpiling because you want to stay indoors to
avoid fallout?
And now Dummy nadinbrzhzhzhzhski presents her new word of the week. How many times do you expect to hear this one:

7. no, to avoid parenteral contamination
the radioactive iodine goes through cow and comes out in the milk... when you drink the milk it goes inside of you.
Vegies can be cleaned up but it is just safer to eat canned for a while
My water comes from a reservoir.
Chances are we will get MINIMUM amounts, not even worthy of staying or let alone handing out iodine... TIME\DISTANCE, but the radioactive iodine WILL concentrate in milk. Quite frankly it is just a damn precaution.
Before DUmmy Sirveri landed his haymaker to her ego, DUmmy nadin hadn't a clue about radioactive iodine. Now she can't stop talking about it.

19. This is NOT over yet
when it is, we will be able to judge, we have jumped from L-4 to L-6 over night... and we may still reach L-7.
Hey we are only number three worst disaster now!
(They have surpassed TMI)
So to say that this is not worst that Chernobyl is a bit premature.
There is always hope that the tragedy will get worse.
