 White hot Fukushima Twelve years into the millennium and here comes a mega-disaster.
Hard to believe, but a news blackout is keeping you from knowing about this life-threatening crisis.
Radioactivity is no laughing matter. It is silent, invisible, and deadly to life.
You may think it is under control. You may think you are safe, so far away. You are wrong.
Not only was there a release of radioactive air and water back then, but it continues unabated.
We Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet
Much worse, a string of extremely serious nuclear accidents are unfolding that will worsen the already terrible situation very quickly.
These are not conjecture or a guess. Experts like Arnie Gunderson are saying it is a full-on catastrophe for the entire U.S. and world.
Here’s a summary of the worst of it:
- Reactor 1 melted down last June and groundwater is pouring huge amounts of radionuclide decay into the Pacific Ocean.
- Highly radioactive (so-called “spent”) fuel rods will burn into the atmosphere at the next significant earthquake. Given Japan’s propensity for big quakes, it’s going to happen very soon.
- Once Reactor 4 burns, all surrounding reactors and storage facilities will be permanently inaccessible, eventually causing them to all burn and melt down.

- Put together a bug-out bag or prepare a shelter.

 Click here for Quiz! Every living being has survival instincts. We learn basic survival skills to help us when a situation warrants it. Below are the basic survival skills.
1 – First Things First – Most important: Don’t panic.
- Stop
- Calm down
- Think
- Observe
- Plan
2 – Build a Fire – Fire provides warmth, light, security, and comfort as well as to cook food and purify water.
Ways you can make fire:
- Butane lighter
- Waterproof matches
- Magnesium fire starter or fire steel
3 – Shelter – To protect you from exposure wear at least two layers:
- Clothing
- Tarps, blankets, sleeping bags
- Newspapers, garbage bags, leaves
- Small hut
4 – Water and Food – Most people can survive without food for many days, even weeks. Focus on finding water.
- Do not ration water
- You can purify almost any water through boiling
- Radioactive particles can be settled out
5 – Signaling – How to find help without any modern communication tools or devices.
Ways to signal:
- Fire and smoke
- Flashlights
- Bright colors of clothing
- Reflective mirrors
- Whistle
A true survivor knows how to survive, how about you? Take a quiz to learn more.
 Disasters can be personal, regional, or global — and they can be endurable or terminal.
Here is a chart with examples to help think about types of disaster risk. (The chart does not take into account “likelihood” or possibility.)
Typically, Survival-Quiz.com is concerned with helping people survive a local or regional disaster such as a flood or tornado. However, this article is about mega disaster.
Below is a list of 26 potential mega disasters, some more likely than others.
Mega Disasters Possible Within the Century:
- Divine Intervention
- Nuclear war
- Climate change and ecological collapse
- Toxic pollution
- Peak oil
- Nuclear disasters
- Disease and super bugs
- Biological warfare
- Artificial Intelligence
- Nanotechnology
- World population and agricultural crisis
- Biotechnology and y-chromosome
- Volcanoes
- Sun activity
- Asteroid strike
- Black hole from particle accelerator
- Planet X
- Gamma ray burst
- Omega point
- Low-energy bubble nucleation
- Aliens attack Earth
- Rogue black hole
- Geomagnetic pole reversal
- Unsustainable production and consumption
- Earthquakes and mega tsunamis
- Others?
Whew! That is some scary list. Some likelier than others.
ONE is all it takes. What is more likely? A rogue black hole, divine intervention, or nuclear Armageddon?
Here is a map of the heat wave in the US.
 First radiation pass. (Chernobyl had at least seven.) As we now know, three reactors melted down in the first few days at Fukushima, a large amount of radioactive fuel burnt into the air, millions of tons of radioactive water poured into the ocean, and more.
It continues to worsen and authorities don’t have much to offer, in fact, any comments may be suspect.
“Hot spots” of significant radiation now reach into Tokyo. There are reports that radioactive sewage slag has been recycled into building materials ”[with] radiation from Cesium-137 exceeding 5 million becquerels per square meter” and at sites 30km from the nuclear disaster, Geiger counters “showed radiation exceeding 1.48 million becquerels per square meter.”
Farmers 300km (186 miles) south of the nuclear disaster had cesium contamination and many forced to destroy their crops.
In eight US cities, infant mortality spiked and doctors blame the radiation spike just like after Chernobyl. Radiation in milk and in drinking water spiked clear across the US and Europe just days after the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Independent experts say Fukushima is 20 times worse than Chernobyl.
Particles You Don’t Want to Consume
Most radioactive emissions dissipate quickly, but many particles that you don’t want to consume are attracted to certain areas of your body and are proven to have very bad long-term genetic effects.
Besides drinking water and milk products, vegetation, animals including sea life, and air filters accumulate these toxic particles.
With widespread contamination how does the buyer know that a purchase is free of radiation?
Even according to authorities, absent a Geiger counter at the supermarket, it’s impossible to know.
The Disaster Survival Store offers select Geiger counters and radiation detection devices chosen for price, value, duability, and reliability.
How to Protect Yourself from Radiation
Knowing how to protect yourself can lessen the danger from flood and radiation. Here are more ideas to help:

In researching these quizzes, I tried to find info from experts who seemed to know what they were talking about, as opposed to the other kind. And I aimed to get multiple confirmations of the facts I’ve included.
Sources I used included Cresson Kearny’s Nuclear Survival Skills, The U.S. Army Survival Manual, The Red Cross, many guides to biological, chemical, natural, and nuclear disasters, many survival and first aid guidebooks, and interviews with experts.
