Contradicting Barack Obama’s assertion last week that radiation from Japan’s stricken Fukushima nuclear plant would not even reach Hawaii, the mainland United States has been blanketed with radioactive Xenon 133 particles, while spent nuclear fuel pools at Fukushima have now reached boiling point and threaten to spew out more radioactive smoke.
Although health authorities insist that levels of the radionuclide Xenon 133 that have been measured are harmless, claims that such radiation would dissolve over the Pacific have been proven completely inaccurate. Indeed, the latest charts show that fallout from Fukushima will not just smother the United States, but most of the globe.
The chart below from the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG) shows the spread of Xenon 133 emitted from the Fukushima plant.

The following chart, from the Norwegian Institute for Air Research, also shows the spread of Xenon 133 across the United States.
Although Xenon has been released globally, it is considered a far more inert and harmless form of radioactivity in comparison to the far more dangerous iodine-131, caesium-134 and caesium-137.
The next chart, produced by the French Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety and Meteo France, shows the dispersion of the more dangerous caesium-137 particles from Fukushima on a global scale.
It is important to stress that health authorities insist levels of all four of the radioactive isotopes being released from Fukushima, namely Xenon 133, iodine-131, caesium-134 and caesium-137 are harmless to people living outside of the Fukushima exclusion zone. However, those assurances were not adequate to prevent the U.S. military from preparing the, “Mandatory evacuation of thousands of American troops and their families in Japan out of concern over rising radiation levels,” reports CNN.
“Obama told KDKA-TV of Pittsburgh that experts have assured him that a nuclear release from Japan will dissipate by the time it gets to Hawaii, much less the U.S. mainland,” USA Today reported on March 15. Just days later, reports emerged of small amounts of radiation hitting California.Despite its apparent harmlessness at current levels, the very fact that such radiation is currently smothering the entire United States completely contradicts assurances made last week by President Barack Obama that the radiation from Fukushima was set to dissipate before it reached Hawaii, never mind the mainland U.S.
As we have documented, given the habitual nature of both the Japanese and the U.S. government in deceiving people as to the safety of the air we breathe, the fact that distrust has reigned amidst panic buying of potassium iodide and geiger counters is completely understandable.
Radiation from Fukushima has now been detected as far north-east as British Columbia in Canada and Iceland in Scandinavia, with mainland Europe set to be hit over the coming 24 hours.
Today the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said that radiation was still being spewed from Fukushima and that they were unclear of its source. An obvious answer would be the pools holding deadly spent nuclear fuel rods, which according to the latest reports have begun to boil as efforts to cool them down continue to fail, despite Japanese authorities and the global mainstream media continuing to claim that the worst of the problem is over.

Xenon-133 is a heavy, colorless, odorless noble gas,produced by fission of Uranium U 235.
Non-radioactive form is used in "neon" signage, as a "noble" gas, it glows when electricity is applied. (Each element has many forms, some of which are... radioactive and may not occur in nature)
It has Beta emissions (shielded by skin to varying degrees [organs can still be affected, though] depending on isotopes' unique energy value) Xenon-133 has a pretty high beta energy at 100.6 keV (kilo-electronvolts)
Gamma emissions (needs lead or other very high-density material [that is, material with very high z on periodic table] for shielding) 81 keV, are also significant.
Low-energy X-rays are also produced, but as with gammas, only high-z materials will shield them, which doesn't include anything which exists on the human body.
Xenon 133 is a readily diffusible gas which is neither utilized nor produced by the body. Supplied in vials containing either 370 or 740 megabecquerels (10 or 20 millicuries) of Xenon 133 gas, it is used for diagnostic imaging of the lungs in nuclear medicine. Both sizes are available in packages of 1, 3 and 5 vials, each with individual lead shielding. It passes through cell membranes, freely exchanges between blood and tissue, and tends to concentrate more in body fat than in blood, plasma, water or protein solutions. In the concentrations recommended for diagnostic studies, it is physiologically inactive. Inhaled Xenon 133 Gas will enter the alveolar wall and the pulmonary venous circulation via capillaries. Most of the Xenon 133 gas that enters the circulation from a single breath is returned to the lungs and exhaled after a single pass through the peripheral circulation. Xenon 133 gas can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity.
Xenon 133 gas delivery systems, i.e., respirators or spirometers, and associated tubing assemblies must be leakproof to avoid loss of radioactivity into the laboratory environs not specifically protected by exhaust systems. (to protect the staff/hospital) Xenon 133 gas as well as other radioactive drugs, must be handled with care and appropriate safety measures should be used to minimize radiation exposure to clinical personnel. Also, care should be taken to minimize radiation exposure to the patients consistent with proper patient management. Exhaled Xenon 133 gas should be controlled in a manner that is in compliance with the appropriate regulations of the government agency authorized to license the use of radionuclides.
