THE FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR ACCIDENT:
A GEOLOGICAL WARNING
Judy B. Gardiner
Rev. May 13, 2012
BACKGROUND
Some experts think that chlorine activation by neutrons was an obvious
source of
35
S. Others maintain the creation path of
35
S was not so obvious.
General consensus: Chlorine in seawater transmuted into
35
S, then spread
across the ocean by winds. This transformation occurred because the
disabling of the cooling systems forced operators to flood the reactor cores
with vast quantities of seawater. Salt is sodium chloride, and when the
dissolved chlorine was bombarded with neutrons from the exposed fuel rods,
it was transformed into an unstable form of sulfur - sulfur-35. As the
seawater boiled to steam, it was vented off to prevent explosions. That steam
took with it the newly created sulfur-35.
The release of radioactivity from Fukushima–both as atmospheric fallout
and direct discharges to the ocean–represents the largest accidental release
of radiation to the ocean in history.
INQUIRY
This inquiry poses questions involving chemicals released in the Fukushima
Nuclear Accident analogizing it with the premise that an alchemical
transmutation is taking place within the earth. The release of radioactivity
from Fukushima may either be a precursor to such transmutation or
exacerbated what is already occurring.
ANALOGY OF FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR ACCIDENT
AND CHEMICAL REACTIONS TO VOLCANIC SITES
I call attention to magmatic disturbances where oceanic and continental
volcanic zones exist. Analogizing the Fukushima disaster to potential
volcanic eruptions indicates the presence of many of the same elements:
heat emitted from radioactive decay, sulfur gas, chlorine, plus other volcanic
gases and hazardous waste material.

THE FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR ACCIDENT:
A GEOLOGICAL WARNING
Judy B. Gardiner
Rev. May 13, 2012
Stress triggering reactions with neighboring faults and various sulfur
releases including ship sulfur emissions in oceanic volcanic zones, could
occur both ways (reactions triggering fault movement and fault movement
triggering reactions). This could increase volatility and result in a potentially
explosive gas that warns of global implications.
This scenario raises the following questions:
Sulfur
Source material indicates that sulfur continuously turns back on itself
producing more sulfur.
I understand that sulfur-35 is normally formed through cosmic ray spallation
of Argon gas in the atmosphere. When disbursed in water or soil, it poses
the following questions:
•1. Could sulfur-35 interact with sulfur dioxide emitted from volcanoes? If
so, how would it impact volcanic structures?
•2. Sulfur-35 decays1
to chlorine-35. Could precipitation in a radioactive
debris field transport radioactive material to water and/or soil in oceanic
and/or continental volcanic zones? In the case of Fukushima, we know it
reached La Jolla, Cal.
•3. Could Cl-35 interact with chlorine gas emitted from a volcano?
•4. Can sulfur gas oxidize to become solid particles of sulfate, specifically in
oceanic volcanic zones? It is reported that sulfate particles fell into the
ocean, decayed, or eddied away from the stream of air heading toward
California.2

Half-life: 87.2 days.

•5. Climate researchers are studying the mixing and transport of gases and
aerosols in the atmosphere, particularly sulfur-containing pollutants such as
gaseous SO2 and aerosol-based SO4
2
.3
Is the mixing and transport of such
gases being studied by oceanographers and geologists?
•6 Are any studies under way on piezoelectrically charged quartz passing
through magma? (This is part 1 to a multi-part question.)
Further questions related to chemicals released in the Fukushima accident,
focus on:
◦ release of 137
Cs distribution and deposition in the soil from the
damaged NPP
◦ the potential of Uranyl peroxide enhanced nuclear fuel corrosion in
seawater.4
137
Cesium
•7. Is exploration of
137
Cs deposition in soil being conducted in areas of
volcanic activity, particularly in benthic zones where hydrothermal vents
exist?
Not only is the total release of 137
Cs from the damaged NPP poorly known, but its
variation with time is even more uncertain.5
It is not known know how this might affect
benthic marine life, and with a half-life of 30 years, any 137
Cs accumulating in sediments
or groundwater could be a concern for decades to come.6
A quantitative estimate of the
distribution of 137
Cs deposition in soil and contamination of Japanese soil has been taken
but spatial maps are urgently needed.

THE FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR ACCIDENT:
A GEOLOGICAL WARNING
Judy B. Gardiner
Rev. May 13, 2012
Uranyl peroxide
Uranyl peroxide enhanced nuclear fuel corrosion in seawater (Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences)7
These species will enhance the corrosion of the damaged fuel and, being
thermodynamically stable and kinetically persistent in the absence of peroxide, they can
potentially transport uranium over long distances.8
These uranyl peroxide cluster compounds are thus an energetic intermediate between
dissolved aqueous species and uranyl minerals. The thermodynamic stability of such
clusters in the absence of excess peroxide also indicates they may disperse in the
environment through transport in water.9
•8. Based on the above excerpts, would dispersion of uranyl absent excess
peroxide in the environment apply to transport of uranium in submarine
volcanic areas?
MAGNETISM FOUND IN ROCKS:
CFC’s IN ACID RAIN ARE ATTRACTED TO
HYDROCARBONS IN CARBONIFEROUS ROCKS
“There’s a discussion about why the rain falls in certain places. I’m explaining that it
depends on the magnetism found in rocks – that certain rocks attract the rainwater, which
has acid. I talk about the CFCs in the rain being attracted to hydrocarbons – carboniferous
rocks. I think about the magnetic pull of acids in rain to rocks.”
Source material cited above in italics. To the best of my knowledge research
has not revealed data concerning the above but carboniferous rocks in
volcanic zones exist throughout the world.
•9. If the above is correct, would
35
S in the atmosphere compound this?

THE FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR ACCIDENT:
A GEOLOGICAL WARNING
Judy B. Gardiner
Rev. May 13, 2012
Note that around 90% of the total deposition of 137
Cs occurred with frontal rain band
precipitation.10
•10. Based on the foregoing, would
137
Cs accumulating in sediments
interact with CFC’s in acid rain?
Example: Geological foundations of Scotland’s Central Belt are buried in
part by carboniferous rocks (359-299 mya).11
Lava fields in Edinburgh
represent the remains of early Carboniferous volcanoes. In March 2011 a gas
leak under a North Sea drilling platform on the east coast of Scotland was
evacuated after gas began leaking from the seabed and formed a huge
potentially inflammable cloud around the well head.
PREMISE
The interaction of chemicals released at Fukushima resulting in sulfur
radiation in addition to the magnetic pull of acid rain to carboniferous rocks
may be applicable to volcanic activity where such rocks or coal deposits
exist, thereby requiring examination. This derives from the theory of
disintegration in which piezoelectrically charged quartz passing through
magma in a field where sulfur giving off a gaseous substance (indirectly
from uranium decay) is continuously disintegrating while the gaseous
discharge is being produced.
Elemental sulfur is found in volcanic regions. When in indirect contact with
the heat of uranium decay it continuously turns back on itself, producing
more sulfur. I suspect this disintegration to be the cause of an alchemical
transmutation within the earth which I call Sulfuranium, a radioactive gas.
This inquiry requests that it be examined by the proper scientific authorities.

In the case of Fukushima, we know it reached La Jolla, Cal. •3. Could Cl-35 interact with chlorine gas emitted from a volcano? •4. Can sulfur gas oxidize to become solid particles of sulfate, specifically in oceanic volcanic zones? It is reported that sulfate particles fell into the ocean, decayed, or eddied away from the stream of air heading toward California.2 1 Half-life: 87.2 days. 2 http://earthsky.org/earth/first-quantitative-measure-of-radiation-leaked-from-fukushima-reactor 2
  • 3. THE FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR ACCIDENT: A GEOLOGICAL WARNING Judy B. Gardiner Rev. May 13, 2012 •5. Climate researchers are studying the mixing and transport of gases and aerosols in the atmosphere, particularly sulfur-containing pollutants such as gaseous SO2 and aerosol-based SO4 2 .3 Is the mixing and transport of such gases being studied by oceanographers and geologists? •6 Are any studies under way on piezoelectrically charged quartz passing through magma? (This is part 1 to a multi-part question.) Further questions related to chemicals released in the Fukushima accident, focus on: ◦ release of 137 Cs distribution and deposition in the soil from the damaged NPP ◦ the potential of Uranyl peroxide enhanced nuclear fuel corrosion in seawater.4 137 Cesium •7. Is exploration of 137 Cs deposition in soil being conducted in areas of volcanic activity, particularly in benthic zones where hydrothermal vents exist? Not only is the total release of 137 Cs from the damaged NPP poorly known, but its variation with time is even more uncertain.5 It is not known know how this might affect benthic marine life, and with a half-life of 30 years, any 137 Cs accumulating in sediments or groundwater could be a concern for decades to come.6 A quantitative estimate of the distribution of 137 Cs deposition in soil and contamination of Japanese soil has been taken but spatial maps are urgently needed. 3 http://www.nuc.berkeley.edu/node/5340 4 http://www.pnas.org/content/109/6/1874.full 5 http://www.pnas.org/content/108/49/19530.full?sid=1a56f69f-2409-424c-87da-025ffea448ee 6 http://enenews.com/researchers-found-cesium-137-over-50-million-times-normal-levels 3
  • 4. THE FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR ACCIDENT: A GEOLOGICAL WARNING Judy B. Gardiner Rev. May 13, 2012 Uranyl peroxide Uranyl peroxide enhanced nuclear fuel corrosion in seawater (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)7 These species will enhance the corrosion of the damaged fuel and, being thermodynamically stable and kinetically persistent in the absence of peroxide, they can potentially transport uranium over long distances.8 These uranyl peroxide cluster compounds are thus an energetic intermediate between dissolved aqueous species and uranyl minerals. The thermodynamic stability of such clusters in the absence of excess peroxide also indicates they may disperse in the environment through transport in water.9 •8. Based on the above excerpts, would dispersion of uranyl absent excess peroxide in the environment apply to transport of uranium in submarine volcanic areas? MAGNETISM FOUND IN ROCKS: CFC’s IN ACID RAIN ARE ATTRACTED TO HYDROCARBONS IN CARBONIFEROUS ROCKS “There’s a discussion about why the rain falls in certain places. I’m explaining that it depends on the magnetism found in rocks – that certain rocks attract the rainwater, which has acid. I talk about the CFCs in the rain being attracted to hydrocarbons – carboniferous rocks. I think about the magnetic pull of acids in rain to rocks.” Source material cited above in italics. To the best of my knowledge research has not revealed data concerning the above but carboniferous rocks in volcanic zones exist throughout the world. •9. If the above is correct, would 35 S in the atmosphere compound this? 7 Op. cit. http://www.pnas.org/content/109/6/1874.full 8 Ibid. 9 Ibid. 4
  • 5. THE FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR ACCIDENT: A GEOLOGICAL WARNING Judy B. Gardiner Rev. May 13, 2012 Note that around 90% of the total deposition of 137 Cs occurred with frontal rain band precipitation.10 •10. Based on the foregoing, would 137 Cs accumulating in sediments interact with CFC’s in acid rain? Example: Geological foundations of Scotland’s Central Belt are buried in part by carboniferous rocks (359-299 mya).11 Lava fields in Edinburgh represent the remains of early Carboniferous volcanoes. In March 2011 a gas leak under a North Sea drilling platform on the east coast of Scotland was evacuated after gas began leaking from the seabed and formed a huge potentially inflammable cloud around the well head. PREMISE The interaction of chemicals released at Fukushima resulting in sulfur radiation in addition to the magnetic pull of acid rain to carboniferous rocks may be applicable to volcanic activity where such rocks or coal deposits exist, thereby requiring examination. This derives from the theory of disintegration in which piezoelectrically charged quartz passing through magma in a field where sulfur giving off a gaseous substance (indirectly from uranium decay) is continuously disintegrating while the gaseous discharge is being produced. Elemental sulfur is found in volcanic regions. When in indirect contact with the heat of uranium decay it continuously turns back on itself, producing more sulfur. I suspect this disintegration to be the cause of an alchemical transmutation within the earth which I call Sulfuranium, a radioactive gas. This inquiry requests that it be examined by the proper scientific authorities. 10 http://www.pnas.org/content/108/49/19530.full?sid=1a56f69f-2409-424c-87da-025ffea448ee 11 http://www.snh.gov.uk/about-scotlands-nature/rocks-soils-and-landforms/rocks-and-minerals/rocks- formed-after/carboniferous/ 5
