Debunking a viral blog post on the nuke threat- -Salon.com

An MIT researcher's claim that there was no threat of radiation in Japan was picked up widely, then it fell apart. A viral blog post claimed that there was no chance "significant radiation" would be released from damaged reactors in Japan, but despite having been republished widely around the Web, the post has not held up to scrutiny. Identified as an "MIT research scientist," Dr. Josef Oehmen wrote the post over the weekend with the title, "Why I am not worried about Japan’s nuclear reactors." It was a modified version of an e-mail he sent to family and friends in Japan on Saturday evening, according to the blog where it was originally posted.

Oehmen, it turns out, does work at MIT but has no special expertise in nuclear power. And his key claim -- that "there was and will *not* be any significant release of radioactivity from the damaged Japanese reactors" -- appears to have already been proven false. While clearly the situation is still developing and all the facts are not yet known, the New York Times reported today that an explosion at the Fukushima Daiichi plant released "a surge of radiation 800 times more intense than the recommended hourly exposure limit in Japan," leading to the evacuation of 750 workers. Meanwhile, the government has ordered 140,000 within 20 miles of the plant to stay indoors. But you people afraid of radioctive plumes hitting the West coast, and falling even thicker and harder high in the ROCKIES? Don't Worry! Be HAPPY!

A LITTLE NUCLEAR FALL OUT WILL HURT A FEW
                          PEOPLE A LOT AND A LOT OF PEOPLE A LITTLE
SEE? THE BOMB did a few ACRES. Fall OUT is muchly exaggerated as a bio hazard. THEY TELL US.

Oehmen's "reassuring" blog post, which also took shots at the media for what he
claimed was bad reporting, has gotten lots of pickup. The essay has been
reposted on literally hundreds of websites and message boards around the
Web. It originally came to my attention when a few Salon readers
e-mailed it in. Several well-read publications, including Business
Insider, Discover Magazine and the UK Telegraph have either republished
or linked to Oehmen's blog post; it was even touted by CNBC personality
Jim Cramer. Business Insider ran the piece with the headline "You Can
Stop Worrying About A Radiation Disaster In Japan -- Here's Why."

Oehmen's essay has also been seized on by pro-nuclear partisans. A
website called TheEnergyCollective.com -- which is run by* Siemens AG, a
major supplier for the nuclear industry -- republished Oehmen's blog
post, and that version of the post alone was subsequently shared on
social media sites 35,000 times. It was also posted on a pro-nuclear
site called bravenewclimate.com. (You can really trust the propaganda grist mill!)

Oehmen's post contained a detailed description of how the reactors at
Fukushima Daiichi work, as well as of the various containment vessels
that, according to Oehmen, would protect people from radiation in any
and all circumstances. He also railed against the media for alleged
reporting inaccuracies:

I have been reading every news release on the incident since the
earthquake. There has not been one single report that was accurate and
free of errors (and part of that problem is also a weakness in the
Japanese crisis communication). ... I have read a 3 page report on CNN
where every single paragraph contained an error.

Part of the weight of the blog post comes from the fact that Oehmen was
identified as an "MIT research scientist."

So does Oehmen actually work at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology? Yes. But not in the nuclear engineering department. He works
at an entity called the Lean Advancement Initiative, which focuses on
business management issues. Is he a "research scientist"? Yes. But,
again, not in any nuclear field. Oehmen's research focuses on "risk
management" with an eye to helping companies "take entrepreneurial
risks." He writes papers on things like "Human Resource Management in China."

I e-mailed Oehmen to ask if he stands by the claims in the post. He
referred me to the MIT press office, which in turn told me that Oehmen
is not doing interviews.

An updated version of Oehmen's blog post is now being hosted at a
website set up by students in MIT's Department of Nuclear Science and
Engineering. Oehmen's crucial claim -- that there was no chance
radiation would be released --
has been cut. The title, which was
originally "Why I am not worried about Japan’s nuclear reactors," has
been changed. An introduction pointedly says, "Note that the title of
the original blog does not reflect the views of the authors of the site."
