Have you given much thought to Fukushima?

I did the math a while ago on how many picocuries per liter of I-131 showed up in the Boise rain water. By my math the 16 days that radiation was present exposed people to as much as 27k years of radioactivity.

242pci/l officially recorded By the EPA and at 3pci/l we get one years worth of Mrems, that’s by day. the lifespan of the radioactivity of I-131 is 18 days 2 days give or take to get here from japan via the jet stream, giving us 16 days of exposure.

Here’s the equation, the EPA suggests a maximum exposure of 4 mrems per year, Iodine 131 emits 4 mrems at 3 pci/l, per hour x 16 days.(note the 4 Mrem a year could possibly be an hourly rate making Fukushimas fallout exposure less worrying but overall long term effects of inhaled beta rad particles can be quite serious. Beta radiation doesn’t penetrate the skin but it can penetrate wounds and be inhaled.)

Its not an immediate threat but its worth considering, Earthquakes and volcanoes are spouting off like never before so before a plant meltdown hits critical mass wouldn’t it be wise to have a safe place to chill those 16 days?

We can build it and design it or let you design your own, from metal tank shelters to connex shelters, we have the boxes, tanks and steel needed for any project. Emergency shelter sales grew 1000% this year due to concerns over the middle east and natural disasters like the quake that hit Fukushima. While we agree that paranoia is ridiculous, peace of mind is priceless.

We wont say anything to add to the conspiracy theorists monologue But if you dig a hole, put a connex box in it, cover it with a steel reinforced concrete lid, make some stairs and cover it with 2 ft of earth, and have a secure entry; you have a root cellar, convenient underground storage for yard tools, a cool place to hang out when its hot, a shelter for electronic equipment from the potentially damaging effects of coronal mass ejections and more.

The federal government has spent a lot of time putting ads on the television telling people to have an emergency preparedness kit, well a simple shelter as mentioned above is one heck of an emergency preparedness kit.

A few years ago a man did exactly that with a connex box for around 16 thousand dollars; for all its uses I would call it money well spent. He turned his into a very nice wine cellar. The uses of a secure underground shelter are numerous and extremely handy, and dont have to cost you a fortune.

we can provide water storage with totes or tanks for your shelter. Totes have a poly bladder that is about 1/4 inch thick that has an industry standard sized valve that could be easy to plumb in to your shelter and from 275 gallon to 330 gallon its steel caged modular design could be the perfect water redundancy addition if you need the feeling of security that comes with an emergency shelter.

A well built cellar may add value to your home aside from safety security and out of sight storage. Another cool thing you can do is air duct from the storage to the house with solar powered fans and lower summer cooling costs. If you go beneath your area’s fostline the air will be above freezing in the winter, and possibly useful for other areas.
