Sounds like the old Godzilla movies where Tokyo was destroyed every weekend in the days before cable.
Move Over Chernobyl, Fukushima is Officially Worst Nuclear Power Disaster in History

That is bull.
Asian giant hornet - Wikipedia
but is most common in rural areas of Japan, where it is called ōsuzumebachi (大雀蜂, "giant sparrow bee").
Japanese hornets are huge and dangerous to begin with.

I'd feel much safer at Fukushima than Syria.......as long as you follow the safety protocols and don't go into the reactor core area you'd be fine.

I would gladly go to Fukushima and even visit the plant... Syria ----- Never

I would rather stay home than go to Fukushima or Syria, I don't feel like getting shot or turning into the hulk...Well turning into the hulk might be fun...

Apis cerana japonica - Wikipedia
Japanese honey bees can actually kill these hornets.
They surround them in a ball and imitate flight - the combination of heat and CO2 generated kills the hornet.
The hornets are why you can't establish european or American honeybee populations in Japan.

I admire their actions and behaviour. They give the monster Hornet multiple warnings before initiating The Ball of Death

Was he near any gold mining areas? What was he taking his readings?

This gets old.
The planet is pretty radioactive (dirt is 400 bequerels/kg - some of Montana according to a student project is well over 1200 bequerels/kg).
The ocean is 12300 bequerels/m3.
The problem Woods Hole had detecting Fukushima radiation in the US was finding a sensitive way to detect it - and never did find much impact in the US from the dreaded arrival via ocean currents.
Something in the pollution in California is pretty radioactive - measuring radioactivity is actually monitoring air quality and solar activity.

I`m not for sure if he was near mines or not, and i i dont now what he took his readings with either.

I think he was saying there was a significant increase in radiation after a rainfall, but whatever

There is always more radiation after a rainfall.
Where do you think radioactive Tritium comes from???

I do not know much about Tritium nor even where it comes from, I doubt many people would...
So its been raining here in my area for days, all this time I just needed to let the radiation rain down on me and I could have been the Hulk...Well heavy thunderstorms are coming tonight and tomorrow, if you read about the Hulk in the news, remember this conversation...

Tritium is produced by cosmic rays in the atmosphere.
Tritium Concentration in Rainwater... (PDF Download Available)
Rainwater is 9 ± 4 to 23 ± 5 TU of Tritium.
Got this from a study that says it should be used as a standard value. I'll convert this to more common units when I get a chance.
A TU is 1 tritium atom to 1018 hydrogen atoms. A TU should be read as PPE (parts per Exa)

Tritium is the heaviest form of water.
