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.

In just a few weeks, the upper Missouri River basin has received almost an average year`s worth of rainfall. Even worse, the forecast snow melt runoff is more than double the normal across the upper portion of the river system and in some places it is seven times normal. These conditions have resulted in regional reservoirs nearing maximum levels. Record releases have begun at Gavin’s Point dam located to the west of Yankton, South Dakota. Water releases at several dams have been increased to 150,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) and will continue for at least the next several weeks. To get a sense of proportions, a release rate of 150,000 cfs would fill the dimensions of a football field 156 ft deep in one minute and the previous high release was 70,000 cfs in 1997. These extremely high flows, combined with normal rainfall, are predicted to result in record flooding along the Missouri River. How to Protect Yourself from FloodKnowing how to protect yourself can lessen the danger from flood. Here are ideas to help:

The Missouri River is above 100-year flood stage, several major dams are likely to fail, and a nuclear power plant cited for a lack of flood preparedness is in danger. The Fort Peck Dam in Montana is built with a flawed design since hydraulic-filled dams are prone to almost instant collapse and the dam is under a lot of stress from a record amount of water — with much more on the way. A failure of Fort Peck Dam could lead to a domino-like collapse of five downstream dams. It probably would wreck every bridge, highway, pipeline, and power line and split the heartland of the US. Besides Fort Peck, Garrison, Oahe and three other downstream earthen dams would have to catch and hold a massive amount of water, an area covering nearly 250 square miles 100 feet deep. But earthen dams, when overtopped with floodwater, do not stand. They break and erode away, usually within an hour. All are full.
