comments on 7.3 Earthquake in Japan

Though everyone was lucky that this quake hit 150 miles out of sea from Fukushima and brought at most a 3 foot tsunami on shore in Japan, it is obvious that Japan hasn't stopped moving since the big quake in March 2011. I thought it was interesting in the article:
Japan earthquake and tsunami triggers Fukushima fears
how the molten metal melted down from the reactors still hasn't been removed almost two years later. However, it is likely this way because enough workers have already died being too close to the 3 reactors that melted down in March 2011. So, likely to avoid further loss of life robots would have to be sacrificed to remove the molten metal. And then, where would you put the molten metal anyway? There would be no safer place likely than where it already is. So, I think my hope is just like with Chernobyl that eventually they will just cover it over with a whole lot of cement put there by robots so no more humans have to die from the radiation.

Sometimes I wonder (not being a paid scientist) but being more of an interested observer of science instead, whether humans on earth actually get more radiation from places like Chernobyl and Fukushima and 3 mile Island or whether we now (over time) are getting more radiation through holes and rents in our magnetosphere during solar flares hitting the magnetosphere and earth during the Solar maximum we presently are traveling through which is supposed to peak in May 2013?

It has been said that the radiation we get from the sun, especially where there are rents in the Magnetosphere since the early 2000s are about like the radiation people get from nuclear power plants having problems.

For example, most of us know that radiation doesn't stay in one place usually but travels in underground streams, the ocean and on wind currents from Nuclear power plants worldwide. For example, the way they check for old master painting forgeries is to look for Cesium in the paint because since World War II all paint, (actually everything including everything living on earth) has Cesium in it and on it. So just checking for Cesium they can spot a forgery of a Rembrandt for example. Likewise, Fukushima radiation does not just stay in Fukushima but moves with sea birds who visit there, porpoises who visit there, Tuna and all top of the food chain fish who travel including all sharks and porpoises that visit Fukushima as well to eat radiated fish there in Fukushima which is still radiated about 60 miles out to sea in diameter from Fukushima still.

So, radiation from Fukushima and Chernobyl is (and will continue to be ongoing) worldwide mixing on the winds and ocean and groundwater in Japan and Russia in wells and springs and to some degree in food grown in Japan and Russia and all around the world.
