ISIS Report 30/09/13
The World Must Take Charge at Fukushima (http://www.i-sis.org.uk/The_World_Must_Take_Charge_at_Fukushima.php)

"Massive leakages of heavily contaminated water, crumbling structures, and spent fuels that if exposed to air could release 85 times as much lethal caesium as was released at Chernobyl are obvious reasons why urgent help is needed from the world’s top experts." Dr Mae Wan Ho (http://www.i-sis.org.uk/contact.php).

Petition to Ban Ki-Moon
Harvey Wasserman (http://www.nukefree.org/editorsblog/crisis-fukushima-4-demands-global-take-over), American journalist, author, democracy activist and advocate for renewable energy, urges us to sign a petition to be delivered to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon:

CRISIS AT FUKUSHIMA #4: PETITION THE UN & US FOR GLOBAL RESPONSE
 (http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/the-world-community-must?source=s.em.mt&r_by=6986571)

In a desperate attempt to cope with the continuing crisis since the nuclear meltdown in March 2011, TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) says that it may begin trying to remove more than 1,300 spent fuel rods from a badly damaged pool within 60 days.

The pool is precariously perched on top of a tilting, sinking building that could come crashing down in the next earthquake or all by itself. (A relatively small earthquake did strike Fukushima prefecture 19 September.)

The 400 tons of fuel in that pool could release more than 15,000 times the radiation released at Hiroshima.

TEPCO does not have the scientific,
engineering or financial resources to handle the job,
and nor does the Japanese government.

It needs a coordinated worldwide effort of the best scientists and engineers, says Wasserman. [1]


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/fukushimafeb2013sankei-2.jpg)


Thousands of tons of heavily contaminated water are pouring through the Fukushima site (see Box 1). This is also further undermining the unstable structures at Fukushima, including the one supporting the Unit 4 fuel pool.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Fuel_pool_chart_2.jpg)


Groundwater carries contamination to ocean and throughout the site
According to Greenpeace International [2], documents newly obtained by the Asahi Shimbun (Japan’s international daily news) reveal that US nuclear experts had urged TEPCO to install frozen soil barriers as early as April 2011 to try and prevent groundwater contamination.

But TEPCO officials sent a memo to government officials to delay the announcement so as to protect the company’s finances and investors’ confidence. Banri Kaieda, then head of the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI), which oversees the promotion of nuclear power, agreed to hold off the announcement, with TEPCO Executive Vice President Sakae Muto reportedly promising to quietly proceed with the ice wall project, but never did so.

TEPCO denies that Muto made such an agreement.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/condensate_suppressionstoragetanks600.jpg)


Now, nearly two and a half years later,

an estimated 800 to 1,000 tons
of groundwater flow down
through the plant each day,
with 300 tons of contaminated
water entering the ocean.

In addition, 400 tonnes of contaminated water a day seep into damaged reactor buildings.

Workers are unable to identify
where the water is entering the buildings
or how to stop the seepage.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/fuku_Reactor_3-800.jpg)



The radiation levels remain so high
that they cannot get close enough to do anything.


Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s administration has promised $470 million of taxpayer money to begin building the ice wall, as international pressure mounts in advance of the 2020 Summer Olympic Games recently awarded to Tokyo.


For those who may wonder, this is what a 'normal' Spent Fuel Pool looks like.

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/nuclear_fuel_pool-800.jpg)


Spent fuel assemblies the major hazard in exposed and damaged pools
More than 6,000 fuel assemblies are now sitting in a common pool just 50 metres from Unit 4, some containing plutonium. The pool is not contained, leaving it vulnerable to loss of coolant, the collapse of a nearby building, earthquake, or other mishap [1].


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Fuel_at_Fuk.png)

More than 11,000 fuel assemblies are scattered around the Fukushima site, amounting to 85 times as much lethal caesium as was released at Chernobyl, according to long-time expert and former Department of Energy official Robert Alvarez .

Spent fuel must be kept under water, as it is clad in zirconium alloy that will spontaneously ignite when exposed to air.

Each uncovered rod emits enough radiation to kill a person nearby in a matter of minutes. A fire could force all personnel to flee and make electronic machinery stop working.


A new fuel fire at Unit 4
would spew out a continuous stream
of lethal radiation poisons for centuries.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Fuel_pool_chart_1.jpg)


Arnie Gundersen, nuclear engineer for forty years, who once manufactured fuel rods, points out that the fuel rods in Unit 4 core are bent, damaged and brittle to the point of crumbling. Cameras have revealed worrying quantities of debris in the already wrecked fuel pool.

The engineering and scientific barriers
to emptying the unit 4 pool
are “unique and daunting,”


says Gundersen, and must be done to
“100% perfection.”



That is not all.   :P


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/fukushima_storage_tanks-800.jpg)


Radioactive water leaking from storage tanks
As of mid-September, TEPCO was storing 435,000 tons of radioactive water in above-ground tanks as well as in basements of the reactor buildings, 137,000 more tons than were stored the previous year [2], and rising.


However, these
storage tanks are leaking.


Radiation readings shot up by more than 20% to their highest levels early in September [3]. Radiation hot spots have spread to three holding areas for hundreds of the tanks storing water contaminated by being flushed over three reactors that melted down in March 2011.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/current_situation.jpg)


Readings just above the ground near a set of tanks showed radiation as high as 2,200 mSv on 3 September 2013 (a day before the 6.9 magnitude earthquake off southern Japan); the previous high in areas holding the tanks was 1,800 mSv recorded 3 days earlier.

Both levels would kill an
unprotected person within hours.

The Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) said the recently discovered hotspots are highly concentrated and easily shielded.

TEPCO said one of the tanks was leaking last month. Another small leak was found later and the rising number of areas with concentrated radiation is raising concerns of further leaks.

The government has ordered TEPCO to transfer all the water held in about 310 weaker bolted tanks to more reliable welded tanks that take longer to build, although an NRA official has said some of the welded tanks too might not be safe, as they are lined up on the ground rather than on a concrete foundation.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/fukushima-disaster580.jpg)


Continued dumping of radioactive water into the ocean
TEPCO has admitted it dumped 1,130 tons or reportedly low-level radioactive water into nearby Pacific Ocean in early September, after heavy rainfall resulted in water collecting within barriers set up around the tanks of contaminated water [2]. Officials said the water contained between 3 and 23 Bq/L radioactive strontium.

Although the legal limit for strontium in seawater is 30 Bq/L, TEPCO later acknowledged that they had not tested the water for Cs-134 or Cs-137.

Groundwater wells in the area, the site of a recent leak of 300 tons of highly radioactive water, have begun to show increasing levels of contamination.


Samples taken from one well near the leak
on 14 September tested 170,000 Bq/L of tritium.


Japan’s fishermen are incensed; and say they will put off test-fishing for white-bait until next spring and consumer confidence remains low. The NRA plans to begin radiological testing of ocean waters off the Fukushima coast, using a ship with a radiation counter that will examine the ocean floor within 1,000 km radius.

The government of South Korea has refused to lift an indefinite ban on seafood imports from 8 Japanese prefectures, which was imposed on 9 September 2013.

It is one year since the NRA was set up to oversee nuclear safety. Chairman Shunichi Tanaka issued a reminder that the Fukushima disaster is still in a precarious state and a danger to Japan’s citizens.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/The-Beatles-600.jpg)



Remaining reactors to be decommissioned
Prime Minister Abe urged TEPCO officials to decommission the two remaining undamaged reactors 5 and 6. TEPCO has been reluctant, hoping they could be restarted for profit.

The government has already injected a trillion yen into TEPCO last year.

The company might ask for another trillion as decommissioning costs.

TEPCO finally agreed to shut down reactors 5 and 6 which are nearing the end of their 40 year lifetime in any case [4].

This would enable the company to concentrate workers and other resources to cope with decommissioning reactors 1 to 4, a process expected to take 40 years.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/fukuRAD_I-131_6APR11.jpg)


No easy homecoming for evacuees
Approximately 160,000 people were forced to evacuate in the first days of the crisis, and tens of thousands remain displaced [3]. The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology estimated total decontamination costs at $50 billion.


Municipal officials are concerned that residents will not return,
as decontamination efforts have not been successful,
and fear of radiation remains high.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/tokyo_1oct13.png)

Many former residents are worried that conditions at the Fukushima plant are still unstable.

Although the government lifts evacuation orders once radiation levels fall below 20 mSv per year, the International Commission on Radiological Protection recommends exposure no more than 1 mSv per year.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/fukushima-children-scanned-for-radiation.jpg)


"Many residents no longer believe official radiation estimates released by the Japanese government, which are often lower than readings gathered by citizens and independent organizations using hand-held Geiger counters,"

Nobuyoshi Ito, a farmer from Iitate, told Reuters,

“They remove the ground under the posts, pour some clean sand, lay down concrete, plus a metal plate, and then put the monitoring post on top. In effect, this shields the radiation [emitting] from the ground."

I asked the mayor, ‘why don’t you protest to the central government?’

"But the municipality isn’t doing anything to fix the situation.”

Thor,

Excellent information, thank you.

This does indeed bring many challenges to
the peoples of the earth. My heart goes out
to those who dwell in Japan, no one else
will be affected as great as they are.

I too, would ask of General Electric...why?
Why GE did you allow this to even begin?

Did you not think that Fukushima would once more
see the day that the sea besieged it once again?

And what of the 23 plants that you have operating
in The U.S.

Nevermind.....we demand....NO MORE NUKES!!!!

sadly they are talking about a super typhoon to hit japan  within the next week which might make things very much worse


Double whammy drenching in Japan? Super typhoon Francisco may follow Wipha’s path
By Jason Samenow, Published: October 18 at 3:54 pmE-mail the writer


Just one week following a deadly dousing from Typhoon Wipha, a second typhoon could deluge Japan. On the heels of Wipha comes super typhoon Francisco, about 250 miles west-northwest of Guam, tracking north-northwestward.

Long-term track guidance takes super typhoon Francisco on a course generally towards Japan, with another round of rain and wind possible some time between Wednesday and Friday next week.

FUKUSHIMA RADIATION HITTING USA CANADA MORE SO THEN JAPAN - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPwKcRFYh2o)

Published on Sep 27, 2013
MORE SO THEN JAPAN AS THE TRADE WINDS CARRY OVER TO THE USA AND CANADA EXAMPLE REMEMBER THE ASH FROM MOUNT SAINT HELEN'S BLEW EAST SENT TO ME BY AN EX CBC TV JOURNALIST TONIGHT THIS OFFICIAL MAP SINCE 2011 TO PRESENT TIMES SHOW YOU HOW THE RADIATION DUMP WORKS.

The number is much larger for the fuel rods, and as a result the re-calcs will make the end result much worse.

I am not posting the new fuel rod count at this time, because there are a number of sources for the fuel rod increase. I have to determine which INCREASED number is the correct one.

Just wanted to let you know.
Fukushima Impact.

Approximate impact of Cs-137 pollution on Pacific Ocean.

1 curie (named after Madame Curie who discovered radation in a mineral called pitchblende) equals 37 BILLION Becquerels of radation.

1 uc = 37,000, radations per second.

For Cesium-137 it is 88 Curies per gram.

So 1 gram of Cesium-137 is 3,256 billion becquerels per second.
3,256,000,000,000 radations per second.
99,959,279,200,000 becquerels per second per ounce
5,997,556,752,000,000 becquerels per minute from 1 ounce of Cs-137.

There are 1,231 spent fuel rods with about 35% is Cs-137.
A rod is 48.09 lbs.
about 20,721 lbs Cs-137
322,160 oz of Cs-137
28.3495 gm to oz.

So 9,133,076 grams of Cs-137 in 1231 fuel rods.
A gram of Cesium-137 produces 3,256 billion becquerels of radation per second.

So the total radation per second from 9,133,076 grams of cs-137 is: 29,737,298,640,498,000,000 atoms emitting radation per second.


A little doom here; We just might be dead but lets be sure.

1 cubic mile of sea water is 777,205,186,560,000 cubic feet.
So 7.71682543518 is the Cubic Foot radation per second per cubic mile.
So in 1 day there are 666,733.717599549 emitted radation happening in a cubic foot per day mile.

There are about 63,800,000 square miles of Pacific Ocean.
Average depth is about 2.28 miles.
There are 145,464,000 cubic miles in the Pacific Ocean.

Cs-137 has a double decay process 94.6% of the time; first a beta ray, then a gamma ray.
So each cubic foot of the entire Pacific Ocean will have 218.174056838937 Beta radation events per day.
So each cubic foot of the entire Pacific Ocean will have 206.392657769635 Gamma radation events per day.

This is the Cs-137 radation breakdown pattern: [link to en.wikipedia.org]
This describes what a Gamma ray is. [link to en.wikipedia.org]
This describes what a Hertz is. [link to en.wikipedia.org]

Gamma rays have higher energy than X-rays, and they are ionizing radation just like X-rays.
The summary is 218 plus 206 divided by 34 or 12.47058.
The number 34 is the average background radation of the N. American continent.

The Pacific Ocean will have a "radation fog" in every cubic foot of water that is 12.47 times HIGHER than the average background radation count of North american continent.

Sea life will be effected in some manner; perhaps all fish will get cancer.

The impact on humanity is a shortage in sea food.

No swimming allowed until radation levels abate to a "safe level";

... in about a few thousand years... :P

TEPCO : Water Shielding Wall (http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/nu/fukushima-np/water/13070801-e.html)
8 July 2013

In order to mitigate the dispersal of radioactive material into the ocean, we have been constructing a water shielding wall in front of the existing seawall of Units 1 to 4 since October 2011. It is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2014.

We started placing steel pipe sheet piles, which will form the main structure of the water shielding wall, from April 2.

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/water_wall_cross_section.png)


The Study Result on the Water Shielding Wall at the Groundside (http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/press/corp-com/release/betu11_e/images/111026e9.pdf)

1. Purpose of this study
We conducted analysis on the effect and influence of installing water shielding
wall at the groundside in addition to the one at the seaside from the following
aspects:

(1) Effect to prevent further expansion of ocean contamination
(2) Risk of accumulated water inside the buildings flowing into groundwater
(3) Interference with other projects


For the mitigation of groundwater flow into the buildings, because it is difficult
to manage groundwater level around the buildings in accordance with the water
level of accumulated water inside the building by implementing water shielding
wall at the groundwater, we plan to study on another solution to manage
groundwater level around the buildings by sub-drain around the buildings.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/tepcospeak.png)


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/tepco_fig1.png)


2. Study Result
(1) Effect to prevent further expansion of ocean contamination
Because hydrogeological structure around Units 1 to 4 buildings draws a slope
evenly from mountain side to seaside, groundwater flows from mountain side to
seaside. Therefore, groundwater around the buildings would not flow out into
four directions, but always flow into the sea (Figure-2).


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/tepco_fig2.png)



Taking into account the characteristics of groundwater flow at the designated
location, we have analyzed the effect of further expansion of ocean
contamination by installing water shielding wall by means of three-dimensional
flow line trace analysis.

As a result, we find that we can prevent groundwater
around the buildings from flowing into the sea by managing with ground water
drain, installing water shielding wall at the seaside (Figure-3).



(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/tepco_fig3.png)


In case of installing water shielding wall at the groundside, because it is not
possible to prevent groundwater from flowing from mountainside completely, it
is necessary to implement countermeasures like water shielding wall at the
seaside in order to prevent further expansion of ocean contamination.

(2) Risk of accumulated water inside the buildings flowing into groundwater
We analyzed the level of change in groundwater level around the buildings,
caused by the installation of water shielding wall, by means of
three-dimensional seepage analysis.

As a result, regarding the groundwater level around the buildings, the level
would decrease by 0 to 0.5m from current situation in case of water shielding
wall at the seaside. In case of water shielding wall at the groundside, the level
would decrease by 1 to 2 m from current situation (Figure-4).


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/tepco_fig4.png)


Therefore, it is
concluded that the case installing water shielding wall at the groundwater
would increase the influence in terms of the risk of accumulated water inside the
buildings to flow out, because the possibility which the level of groundwater
would be lower that the level of accumulated water inside the building would
rise.


(3) Interference with other projects
Water shielding wall at the seawater would not interfere with the other projects
because the wall will be installed at the seaside of existing seawall. On the other
hand, water shielding wall at the groundside interferes with important facilities
and construction which aim for stabilization.

Further because it has many
difficulties in its implementation, e.g. requiring the removal and move of
existing facilities, there would be more influence by installing water shielding
wall at the groundside from points of interference with the other projects
(Figure-5).


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/tepco_fig5.png)


3. Conclusion
Regarding the prevention of further expansion of ocean contamination, it is
important not to let accumulated water inside the buildings flow into
groundwater. In this sense, it is appropriate to see the water shielding wall as
the countermeasure to prevent such flow of contaminated groundwater into
ocean. We deem that we should avoid countermeasures which would increase
such risk of accumulated water inside the building to flow out.

With those aspects, after the comprehensive evaluation on the effect and
influence by installing water shielding wall at the groundside, we have reached
the conclusion that it is appropriate to address the issues only with water
shielding wall at the seaside, not combining the one at the groundside.

For the installation of the water shielding wall at the groundside, we will discuss
the matter again at an appropriate point of time, based on the progress of the
other projects.

I do believe if you were to set up a ground water drain under the plant it could make the flow increase.
 
I would like to see them inject something like a concrete slurry under the entire plant area so that that land becomes so thick that the ground water diverts in another dirrection. Once the water flow is away from the plant they could drain it if needed.
 
This type of solidification is not a new practice. It is simple, cheep and fast. You can make shapes if needed to curve mountain water away or split it to sections also. Lots of tricks. to be sure Pound in a steel coffer dam all the way around and then start.
 
I like the Math model on the Ocean radiation. Some how a stir factor needs to be added. How long would it take to mix 100%. At first it should follow currents and the sides of the stream fall off and get mixed. So until that happens all over the ocean I would think the hot spots would be so much worse than the total mix that nothing could live in them. If the fish do live there, the off spring will be mutants for sure.

NOW would be a good time for the aliens to show up and tell us what to do.

BTW, over on the token we have some new information has appeared which would suggest that JKH can de-irradiate somewhere from a distance.

I'm chonging my way through it as we speak, and if there seems to be any useful truth I'll bring it back here, but if anyone else wants to take a look and cannot get onto the token I'll bring it over if asked.

Japans Tepco has succeeded where no other government has not.  Through their ineptness they have managed to contaminate a good portion of the world.  We see deep sea creatures coming up from the depths of the Pacific trying to get away from the radiation (I believe).  Radiated seafood in the Pacific,  radiation raining down on the Northern hemisphere,  infant mortality going up here in North America and the World Governments do nothing.  This affects us all.  THE WORLD MUST INDEED TAKE CHARGE AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE BEFORE WE ARE ALL NUKED.  We worried about atomic weapons and spent millions on defense and then the very thing that we used for possible destruction of an enemy and gives us electricity may very well kill us.

I was once a heavy proponent of nuclear power and now I am not.  It has not been regulated enough to make sure that facilities adhered to strict building and operating standards.  Inspections performed by foxes in the henhouses.  I have been studying this problem since it has happened and have been trying to get the information out there on various other forums.

Thor has done a masterful job here at Pegasus with a much deeper analysis of the situation than I could have done.  The information and analysis by Thor needs to be disseminated to a wider audience even outside the forum so that all people may benefit.  Videos online, Facebook, blogs and whatever else can be utilized.  If we reach people one person at a time, it is worth it.  As human being we want to see immediate results from the fruits of our labors, we want numbers, we want high production, we want to get the information out there.  This begins with a single step to people one by one.  Then that person will tell his or her friends and so on.

I believe that Thor's information should be disseminated more widely and the bright minds at Pegasus can make this happen.   The information for the general public would have to be less technical and in smaller bites due to the human attention span.  Think about it.  Rod

Honestly, there's not much that can be done. Fuku will be contaminating the planet for thousands of years. We can divert the water and encase the reactors and spent fuel pools, but none of this will stop contamination. It will only slow it down.

In the oceans depths it might be raining dead fish. Either from the lack of food or radiation. All dead fish do not float. Some drop right to the bottom. If I was an Oar fish and my home was being bombarded by dead fish I think I would look for a new home. Besides they like fresh fish. They taste better than old dead fish.

         Fuk-‘hush’-ima:

 Japan’s new state secrets law gags whistleblowers, raises press  freedom fears................


Many issues of national importance to Japan, probably including the state of the Fukushima power plant, may be designated state secrets under a new draft law. Once signed, it could see whistleblowers jailed for up to 10 years.

Japan has relatively lenient penalties for exposing state secrets compared to many other nations, but that may change with the introduction of the new law. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government has agreed on draft legislation on the issue on Friday and expects the parliament to vote on it during the current session, which ends on December 6.

With a comfortable majority in both chambers, the ruling coalition bloc would see no problems overcoming the opposition. Critics say the new law would give the executive too much power to conceal information from the public and compromise the freedom of the press.

Currently only issues of defense can be designated state secret in Japan, and non-military leakers face a jail term of up to one year. Defense officials may be sentenced to five years for exposing secrets, or 10 years, if the classified information they leaded came from the US military.

The new law would enact harsher punishment to leakers, but more importantly, it would allow government branches other than defense ministry designate information as state secrets. The bill names four categories of ‘special secrets’, which would be covered by protection – defense, diplomacy, counter-terrorism and counter-espionage.

Under the new legislation a ministry may classify information for a five-year term with a possibility of prolongation to up to 30 years. After that a cabinet ruling would be needed for the secret to be treated as such, but there is no limit for how long information may be kept under a lid.

"Basically, this bill raises the possibility that the kind of information about which the public should be informed is kept secret eternally," Tadaaki Muto, a lawyer and member of a task force on the bill at the Japan Federation of Bar Associations, told Reuters.

"Under the bill, the administrative branch can set the range of information that is kept secret at its own discretion."

Media watchdogs in Japan fear the bill would allow the government to cover up serious blunders, like the collusion between regulators and utilities, which was a significant factor in the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster. The quake- and tsunami-hit nuclear power plant went into meltdown and continues to leak contaminated water as its operator TEPCO failed to contain it.

TEPCO has long been accused of obscuring the crisis and Fukushima. Many details on its development were first published in the media before going to governmental or corporate reports.

Critics of the state secrets bill say it would undermine media’s ability to act as the public’s eye on the actions of the government and whoever it would choose to shield.

"It seems very clear that the law would have a chilling effect on journalism in Japan," said Lawrence Repeta, a law professor at Meiji University.

WTFUKU? What the Fukushima ? !


Published on Sep 1, 2013

#WTFUKU? CNN broke the historic WHAT THE FUKUSHIMA? news today 8.31.13.

Here scientist Patrick Flanagan tells us that Fukushima is far worse than we've all been led to believe.

http://phisciences.com founder Patrick Flanagan says it's even worse that CNN has reported, a horrific equivalent of radiation equal to 10 Hiroshima's an hour 24/7 has been pumped into seas for since 3.11.13.

That's equal to about 8,700 Hiroshima's.

Link to the LIFE MAGAZINE story on the young doctor Flanagan. http://phisciences.com/flanagan-experiments


Is it any wonder our world is dying?

What the Fukushima?!

Video from director Ken Sheetz http://buzzbroz.com

See Ken's meditations for a better world at http://dreamshield.org

The CNN story the world can be grateful for. http://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com/2013/08/30/why-fukushima-is-worse-than-you-think/

And this:
Editor’s note: Mycle Schneider is an independent international consultant on energy and nuclear policy based in Paris. He is the coordinator and lead author of the World Nuclear Industry Status Report (http://www.worldnuclearreport.org/-2013-.html). The views expressed are his own.


"The tank leak is just the latest in a long list of signs that things are going fundamentally wrong at the site of what could still turn out to be

the most serious radiological event in history.

And the situation could still get a lot worse.

A massive spent fuel fire would likely dwarf the current
dimensions of the catastrophe and could exceed the
radioactivity releases of Chernobyl dozens of times.


First, the pool walls could leak beyond the capacity to deliver cooling water or a reactor building could collapse following one of the hundreds of aftershocks.


Then, the fuel cladding could ignite spontaneously
releasing its entire radioactive inventory."


Not surprisingly, some out there, deep in the programming of society, brainwashed by video games or God knows what, who seem to think a post apocalyptic world of zombies and the living dead radiation will create are cool are making some strange comments and personal attacks.

I reassure you not a single one of these comments will be allowed to be posted out of great respect for Patrick Flanagan's message of hope and serious wake up call. I will also ban and weed out anyone making disrespectful comments from my channel permanently for wasting my time with your nonsense.

Thanks and big thanks to all of you seeing what this man, who invented something to help heal you, and not hiding behind a psuedonymn is doing.


Grow the Fuku up.

This makes a lot of work for me on a viral video as I must review thousands of comments for approval to post. So please be patient at seeing your comments appear.


We second that.

Although we have not been in contact with Dr. Pat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLmhWp15VaTacZbQqL_I-HuU60bdbMNoUf&v=-HhkW95j-QM) (another friend of another pyramid buddy, Nick Edwards (http://www.powerofpyramids.com/)) in about 30 years, we have invited our old friend to drop by our lovely home here at Pegasus, as we wish to discuss his radiation transmutation technology.   :P   :P

Can you imagine what we would be dealing with if a previous civilization had created a mess like this?  What if we were still struggling to maintain some kind of massive radiological hazard from thousands of years ago?

The radioactive contamination created by just this one nuclear catastrophe will be with Earth for thousands of years unless a technology is created that somehow neutralizes ionizing radioactive isotopes.

Not one more atom should be split until humanity discovers such a technology.

Sometimes I wonder if ancient cultures did leave behind some hazards.  I wonder if modern interpretation of the "curse" of the Pharaohs tombs in Egypt was not so much a supernatural vengeance threat as a warning like the radiation hazard icon.  Maybe those structures and tombs were sealed up in stone for just such a reason.

Chernobyl blew but was speedily entombed.  Fukushima is multiple reactors at least one of which blew sky high.  It's also pouring endlessly into the ocean.  Chernobyl has killed over a million people.  I wouldn't be surprised if hundreds of millions die of cancers caused by Fukushima and it's far from even being contained.  If the fuel rod relocation endeavor fails perhaps billions could die.
Considering there has been very little word from Fukushima since the earthquake and typhoons last week, and reports that people observed smoke coming from the spent fuel pool building shortly before video feeds went down, perhaps the worst has already occurred.

Gold for that post, Titan.

On topic, informative and thoughtful. I've been told (indirectly) by Nancy Hutchison that the rad count has spiked massively recently on the west coast.

Has any one got a geiger counter over there and can give us some information?

And you are 100% right NOT ONE ATOM should be split until we find a way of clearing up the mess that we have already made.

Gurkha, flying a swift and powerful vimana hurled a single projectile 
Charged with all the power of the Universe.
An incandescent column of smoke and flame
As bright as the thousand suns
Rose in all its splendour...
a perpendicular explosion
with its billowing smoke clouds...
...the cloud of smoke
rising after its first explosion
formed into expanding round circles
like the opening of giant parasols...
..it was an unknown weapon,
An iron thunderbolt,
A gigantic messenger of death,
Which reduced to ashes
The entire race of the Vrishnis and the Andhakas.
...The corpses were so burned
As to be unrecognizable.
The hair and nails fell out;
Pottery broke without apparent cause,
And the birds turned white.
After a few hours
All foodstuffs were infected...
...to escape from this fire
The soldiers threw themselves in streams
To wash themselves and their equipment.

Back when Fukushima was happening the US NAVY sent in a nuclear aircraft carrier... the offer was to run cables ashore and provide power for the plant. An aircraft carrier can power a small city....

They refused the help... (as we know now becuae the system was already in meltdown 8 hrs after the EQ and the coolent pipes were toothpicks on the ground so turning on the pumps was a moot point)

However what most people missed is WHY the carrier high tailed it out of the area. Sure we heard the reports that the deck were getting contamination from the air... but what wasn't covered as much was the seawater used to cool the ships reactors had so much radiation in it that it was causing problems for the ships reactors.

Now looking at that map... how does that compare with know reactors in the USA?  Is there enough radiation lurking in the fallout to cause issues with the reactors?

And no  we have no reliable report of current situation. All we know for certain is there is a steady leak into the ocean... "Leak?" LOL that has to be a major understatement

Post by: Fruitbat on October 30, 2013, 05:35:39 pm

You know, I have been thinking... There were reports of neutron beams emerging from Fuku in the early days, apparently that's how Arnie Gunderson knew what was going on way before the Japs admitted anything.

Apparently those are the tell tales of a full on uncontained nuclear reaction. Assuming that the cores HAVE melted though, and are now being cooled by groundwater which is flowing straight out to see, what we have here is not just a leak of radiation, but a fast breeding of radioactivity on a mahoosive scale via the mechanism of neutrons versus hydrogen in the free flowing water...

I don't like "thinking", anymore.

To stop that sort of thing you'd need a very carefully placed one of those new fangled american B61 Ground penetrators, with the yield and depth worked out really quite precisely. And they ought to be getting on with it really, whilst we still have familiar marine life in that sea...

There, that's better. Stop thinking and start looking for something to blow up, that's the man's way!

FB,  the only thing I would add is to remove every fuel rod assembly you could get your hands on first, Move them 30 miles away and then proceed with operation B61. Vaporize anything that is left and make a giant glass sand pit. In a few years it would make a nice port for boats.
 
To date I have not heard even one person say why we could not do that. Vaporize the problem. Worry about Godzilla later. When I say hear about, I really mean someone who would know exactly what would happen and not posts from the web.
 
I mean what would happen in war time if one country nuked an atomic sub, same problem just smaller? Would the sub and all the atomic particles just vanish or make it worse? If it is a 50/50 choice then do we get to vote? Right now we can only line up to die. That is no fun..

Hello everyone...

We have tentative news that the critical take-down of fuel rods at Fukushima #4 may be delayed two weeks or more. 

This is critical news.

So are the horrifying reports that radiation from Fukushima has reached the coast of Alaska.  (www.nukefree.org).

Please take a look at my current blog at www.nukefree.org asking that nuclear advocates first go to Fukushima. 

On Thursday, November 7, at 1pm, we'll turn in the first round of signatures to Ban Ki-Moon at the UN.

We have exceeded 112,000 people signing in.  It's a tremendous accomplishment.

We must keep going.

We will continue to grow this petition and turn in more and more signatures as the crisis deepens. 

We are joined by 40,000 signers at www.rootsaction.org, along with thousands more from the Green Shadow Cabinet, which has also brought in many organizational signers. 

We continue to welcome many different views on how to deal with Fukushima.   

But above all, we cannot stop.  Tepco has amply shown their incompetence at Fukushima.  Japan, with a new state secrets act, has neither the resources nor the openness to deal with this crisis.

So we continue to call for a global team of scientists and engineers, backed by the many nations of the world, to take control at Fukushima.

There is more to come. We have made the world far more aware of this terrifying crisis. But our lives are on the line, and we have a long way to go.

Thanks, everyone.

For a nuke-free future....the only one there is.

Fukushima Watch: Tritium Levels Soar on Coast at Fukushima Plant
[...] More than two years after the devastating accident at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, operator [Tepco] is seeing levels soar of a radioactive element called tritium. The problem spot is on the coastal side of the plant's heavily damaged No. 2 reactor, one of the areas where Tepco regularly monitors groundwater to check for radioactive elements that may have leeched from the plant's partly melted fuel cores and into the environment.

Just to let you know, tonight I had dinner with 5 prominent leaders of our city and I got the opportunity to ask them about Fukushima.
 
4 out of the 5 knew about the disaster, 3 knew it was still going on and none of them knew what they should do about it. I stopped there and let them think and I changed the conversation to release the questioning. Being grilled is not a good thing to make new friends. But I got what I wanted to know.
 
People in the world have no idea what is really going on. Like most problems, education is a factor and life getting in the way is the other.

First Round Of Signatures Delivered !!! & Pandora's Box Score

From: "Harvey Wasserman, The World Community Must Take Charge at Fukushima Campaign" <noreply@list.moveon.org>

To: thorfourwinds@thelivingmoon.com

Hello all you wonderful Fukushima petition signers.
 
Thanks to you, we have successfully delivered the first round of more than 150,000 individual and group signatures asking for a global takeover at Fukushima.
 
For photos and more, see:
 
http://www.popularresistance.org/take-action-for-international-assistance-with-the-crises-at-fukushima/
 
As the crisis there deepens, we must build on this, with more & more concerned citizens signing these petitions and creating an ever greater grassroots safe energy movement.
 
On Thursday, November 7, the rain held off at the United Nations just long enough for us to celebrate this amazing initial response and to confirm our further commitment to organizing toward what needs to be done to solve this terrible crisis.
 
The petitions were taken straight into the UN and up to Ban Ki-Moon’s office...and then the skies opened!  
 
This happened right in synch with the scheduled beginning of the operation to take fuel rods down from the damaged pool at Fukushima Unit Four.  Then “technical difficulties” forced Tokyo Electric Power to delay the operation for “additional testing.”
 
So now, in the interim, the nations of the world will have some time to evaluate our request for a global takeover of this life-and-death process.
 
Meanwhile we continue with this and many other actions, petitions, and organizing....whatever we can do to build global awareness and help muster the scientific, engineering and financial resources to deal with this horrific nuclear nightmare.   
 
On Monday, November 11, some of us will do our first monthly “Eleventh Day Fast for Fukushima.”   To commemorate the 3/11/11 beginning of the disaster, some of us we will not eat from dawn to dusk in solidarity with Fukushima’s victims, and to help focus our attention on doing whatever we can do to help get the site under control.   
 
We will do this on the 11th of every month from now on, until the crisis is over...which we expect no time soon.  Please join us in this or whatever other action makes sense to you.  
 
As a postscript, we note that the absurd pro-nuclear propaganda piece “Pandora’s Promise” aired on CNN as we gathered.  I’ll send a link to a review in a short while.
 
But within hours of the showing of this unbalanced, profoundly inaccurate radioactive screed, there came a powerful response from where it really counts---in the actual head-count of atomic construction.  Just after CNN sold itself to all the pro-nuke hype, the Dallas-based Luminant power company announced it was canceling work on two giant new reactors proposed for nearby Comanche Peak.
 
This latest cancellation brings Pandora’s Box Score for 2013 to 5 announced shut-downs of operating reactors, 9 cancelled proposed new reactors and 6 scratched proposed uprates.
 
Now if only Pandora will reverse her curse at Fukushima.....
 
Thank you all again so much.  
 
As we work together to mitigate the horrors at Fukushima over the coming months and years, we will do all we can to help our planet heal from the deepening plague of the errant atom.....  
 
And then we”ll see you in Solartopia!!!

Hello Everyone!

FAST FOR FUKUSHIMA:
Today, Monday, November 11, many of us will begin our first "Eleventh Day Fast for Fukushima".

Along with so many others, I won't be eating from dawn to dusk.  I will do liquids.  But the fast will be meant to honor the victims of this horrible disaster, and to focus our efforts on finding ways to survive it.

The fast comes exactly 32 months after the disaster began.  Many of us will fast again each 11th day of the month until Fukushima ceases to threaten the health of the planet, which will almost certainly take a long long time.  Hopefully the fasts will be good for the planet's health as well as our own.

NEW PETITION:
Many of you wrote noting I omitted the link for the new petition from Arnie Gundersen, asking Tepco be removed from Fukushima.

Here it is:
http://www.nukefree.org/new-fuku-petition-remove-tepco-you-remove-fuel

We already have 715 signers, and hope for many many more.
Please note that we continue to gather signatures for our main petition. We have turned an initial 114,000-plus from this petition and 40,000 more from www.rootsaction.org plus many more individual and organizational signatures from the Green Shadow Cabinet.

But we cannot and will not stop until a global team of scientists and engineers takes over at Fukushima with the full faith and credit of the world behind them. Only then might we have a chance to survive on this planet.

So please keep sending this petition around, gathering signatures and talking to  all who'll listen about what we must do to save our planet and ourselves from the horrific mistake that is atomic energy.

TODAY'S PIECE: PANDORA'S ATOMIC BOX SCORE:
Thanks to Stefanie Spear and www.Ecowatch.com for publishing this:

The website of the photographer who did the CNN/Fukushima graphic is www.abbiesophia.com

WE HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE

Today's NYTimes carried a big story on the fuel rod bring-down at Unit Four.  Serious Fukushima coverage is finally surfacing at other corporate media throughout the world, most  notably Reuters.

Little or none of this would be happening without our movement's tireless efforts to wake up the world about this devastating disaster.

So let's keep up!
We are making a huge difference!!
Together, we just might save this planet.
See you in Solartopia,

full-scale releases from Fukushima

Pandora’s Atomic Box Score (http://ecowatch.com/2013/11/10/pandoras-atomic-box-score/)

Harvey Wasserman
November 10, 2013 11:04 am

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/hwasserman.jpg)


The first prophetic sign to follow CNN’s irrelevant Pandora’s Promise is this: the Dallas-based Luminant Power Company has cancelled two mammoth reactors.

Pandora’s box score for atomic America 2013 is five announced early reactor closures, nine project cancellations and six ditched updates. Today, 100 U.S. reactors operate where 1,000 were once promised. New orders are zilch.

Even more critical: For decades the nuclear industry said zero commercial reactors could explode. When Chernobyl blew, they blamed it on the Soviet design. Now, three General Electric reactors have exploded at Fukushima. Unfortunately, as they age and deteriorate, there may be more to come.

Here are some more numbers to tally (http://ecowatch.com/2013/10/03/demand-un-takeover-at-fukushima/). More than 1,300 fuel rods sit in a damaged fuel pool 100 feet in the air at Fukushima 4. They contain radioactive cesium equivalent to 14,000 times what was released at the bombing of Hiroshima.

There are some 6,000 rods in a common fuel pool nearby. There are some 11,000 rods scattered around the site. The three melted cores from units One, Two and Three are missing. There are roughly 1,000 tanks holding billions of gallons of hot radioactive water that are leaking and will collapse in the next big earthquake.

All 50 allegedly operable reactors in Japan remain shut. Germany is on its way to total green power.
 
Pandora’s Promise was largely bankrolled by Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen, whose buddy Bill Gates has bet big on the mythic “new generation” reactors.

As it aired on CNN, a grassroots coalition presented more than 150,000 signatures to the United Nations, requesting a global takeover at the accursed Fukushima, where three reactors cores are missing and radiation still pours into the ocean.

Meanwhile Tokyo Electric Power postponed its potentially apocalyptic bring-down of the radioactive fuel rods at Unit Four.
 
“More tests” were needed, they said. This week the U.S. Department of Energy will meet on how to aid an untried engineering exercise whose failure doom the planet. But if it can be done at all, it will take the entire global community to bring this beast under control.
 
CNN dumped a ton of hype on Pandora’s Promise, and made no real attempt to hide its own pro-nuke bias. Lead-up debates were heavily weighted toward the industry, whose push for a new generation of reactors will ultimately go nowhere.

The scenario is obvious: Gates and his fellow mega-rich will pour into various theoretical atomic technologies a few hundred million dollars. They’ll write it all off their taxes. They’ll demand immunity for any accidents. It’ll all run billions over budget and years behind schedule.

Then they’ll leave yet another radioactive mess for the rest of us to clean up.
Atomic energy makes global warming worse. Its truest promise is for ever more meltdowns—in health, the ecology and economy.
 
This movie maker needs to revisit Fukushima and report on those fuel rods flying in the sky, the river of radiation pouring into the oceans and the lethal long-lived poisons spewing into the air we breathe.

As Hesiod says, when the original Pandora opened her forbidden box, “the Earth and sea were full of evils.”

But hope did remain, now in the form of the green power revolution. The world of finance is on our side. So is the insurance industry. And, basic sanity.
 
On the 11th of every month, in commemoration of Fukushima, many of us will fast in solidarity with the victims in hope of a survivable outcome. You can help by signing our petitions. With our grassroots organizing and escalated resistance, a Solartopian world can be won.

Pandora’s clear promise—call it a warning—is that our survival depends on it.

The way I interpret the video that thor put up there is that there are so many things people are involved in in life and so much going on in the world that people are distracted and yet a possible extinction scenario is facing us but "we feel fine."  We are just here living life.  Even though the song repeats itself, it gets the point across most succinctly.

Why would the west coast of America be in danger of radioactive fallout from Fukushima?

The prevailing jet stream winds are blowing from Japan directly across the Pacific ocean to the west coast of the United States.

Any airborne radioactive Fallout would make its way across with the jet stream, reaching the U.S. in approximately 36 hours, depending on the actual speed of the jet and how quickly the particles mixed in with the jet stream.

The San Onofre nuclear power plant in San Diego County, California

Quote
The radiation that blew out of the Fukushima nuclear-power plants, particles of which the jet stream swept across the Pacific, barely left a trace on sensitive monitoring equipment in California.

Yet its minute presence also registered loud and clear: this is one planet.

What the above MSM conveniently forgot to add to the story that almost 25% of those 'sensitive monitors' were off-line for various reasons in the two months immediately following the triple melt-throughs before the EPA shut down the monitoring program on 3 May 2011, "because there is no need to monitor..."    :o

Let’s look at a few tidbits from our friends over at USA Radiation News Today (http://www.thelivingmoon.com/forum/index.php?topic=3822.msg51737#msg51737) for possible enlightenment.


7 February 2012
Highest level of radioactive cesium in San Francisco-area milk since August 2011 — Now at 150% of EPA’s maximum contaminant limit (http://enenews.com/highest-level-radioactive-cesium-san-francisco-area-milk-august-2011-150-epas-maximum-contaminant-limit-chart)

Quote
2/6/2012 (2:31pm): A new milk sample has been measured, this one with a best-by date of 2/16/2012. The results are posted to the milk sample page. Low levels of both Cs-134 and Cs-137 were still detected in the sample.

Best Buy Date of 02/16/2012:
Cs-134 @ 0.052 Bq/L
Cs-137 @ 0.115 Bq/L

0.167 Bq/L of radioactive cesium = 4.526 picocuries/L (1 Bq = 27.1 picocuries)

The EPA Maximum Contaminant Level for radioactive cesium in milk is 3 picocuries/L:

“EPA lumps these gamma and beta emitters together under one collective MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level), so if you’re seeing cesium-137 in your milk or water, the MCL is 3.0 picocuries per liter; if you’re seeing iodine-131, the MCL is 3.0; if you’re seeing cesium-137 and iodine-131, the MCL is still 3.0.” -Forbes.com

These are the highest cesium levels detected by UCB since at least August 2011 (As the MDA was higher over the summer, it’s hard to be sure of the exact levels at that time).

BTW, remember way back when we pondered the question of Napa Valley wine being affected?

The grapes that were on the vine in the spring and summer of 2011, ripening in the brilliant California sun and being continually doused with Fukushima Fallout Radiation Rain...   :P


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/RadiationRain580.png)


And the story got buried and never saw the light of day, let alone have any of the grapes or wine tested.

Crazy we are, say you?

Check this out, mate.

Alpha radiation detected in imported Japanese Sake (http://www.enviroreporter.com/2011/09/sake-september-7-2011/)

Quote
10-minute interior average Japanese Sake #1 Liquid in Test Dish bought in Southern California Japanese market = 45.6 CPM which is 22.3% higher than previous background average.

When detecting with the Inspector, the sake in its unopened bottle, there was little ionization above background radiation.

That makes this significant reading all the more troublesome because

it indicates the presence of alpha radiation which is up to a thousand times more dangerous than beta and gamma radiation.

California Cows Threaten Strike If Forced to Eat Radiated Grass

(http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w400/thorfourwinds/ILLUMINATI%20CARTOON%202012/eo4f7a3cc4.jpg)

Clarabelle Clovenhoofer – Spokebovine for Bovine Union Local #P-239


“The attitude of those happy cows in California
will turn very sour if they are mandated to eat radiated grass.”


Quote
Mooing News Today is reporting that the persnickety bovines will strike if fallout from the Japanese triple nuclear melt-throughs continues to rain on their beloved California grasslands.


Clarabelle Clovenhoofer, local union spokesbovine, had this to say,

“It’ll be a cold day in the pasture before we eat radiated grass.”


You must understand that fallout from the ongoing Fukushima disaster is threatening world food supplies.

CNN, Reuters, and Russia Today are all reporting that radioactive material is being carried by minute moisture droplets in the air. It can then be directly inhaled into the lungs, get washed down by rain into the sea and onto the soil, and eventually contaminate crops, marine life and drinking water.

Cow’s milk is especially vulnerable, experts say, when cows graze on grass exposed to radiation.

Here in Rabun County, we call that stuff fallout.   :P


This is one more huge blow to the already fragile world food supply.

If you are relying solely on supermarkets and the government to feed you in a disaster, you are gambling with your family’s future.

IPRC Model Tracks Different Types of Tsunami Debris

Honolulu, August 3, 2012
The IPRC model that tracks the tsunami debris across the Pacific now reflects the effects of wind on the movement of debris with varying fractions of surface above water. Nikolai Maximenko and Jan Hafner have added five additional windage levels to the original model, which is based on data from scientific drifting buoys with drogues at 15 meters deep. Items with high windage (levels 04 and 05) could have arrived on the West Coast by the end of 2011.

Death Valley RADIOACTIVE RAIN 7 X normal 11-21-13
Published on Nov 25, 2013[/center]

The first indication that something was wrong with the rain occurred November 21 when Boreas rains in Stovepipe Wells were measured at over 7 times normal background radiation.

Ten minute averages for background radiation as well as the hot rain samples were performed to accurately assess the amount of the ionizing water was raining down on the hundreds of tourists at the park who were clearly oblivious to the danger.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/DeathValleyRadioactive_Rain_21nov13.png)


According to documents previously reported on by EnviroReporter.com, the California Highway Patrol considers any substance over three times background to be radioactive enough to warrant a hazardous materials response. The kind of radiation detected - beta radiation -- includes some of the most prominent isotopes associated with nuclear disasters such as Cesium 137, Cesium 134 and Strontium 90.

The radiation's probable source was the ongoing triple meltdowns at Fukushima Japan that began March 11, 2011.

The hot water raining down on Death Valley was likely carried on the jet stream that brings precipitation across the Pacific from Japan to the West Coast of North America and then eastward.

"It's a totally different operation than removing normal fuel rods from a spent fuel pool," Tanaka said at a regular news conference. "They need to be handled extremely carefully and closely monitored. You should never rush or force them out, or they may break." He said it would be a disaster if fuel rods are pulled forcibly and are damaged or break open when dropped from the pool, located about 30 meters (100 feet) above ground, releasing highly radioactive material. "I'm much more worried about this than contaminated water," Tanaka said.

Channel 4 (UK), Oct. 15, 2013: The worst case scenario is if the fuel assemblies are dropped, which could ultimately lead to a partial meltdown

VoA News, Oct. 15, 2013: That hydrogen explosion [...] left the inside of the pool littered with debris. [...] TEPCO's first task is to remove the debris. [...] The fuel rods must be kept submerged and must not touch each other or break. Nuclear experts warn any mishaps could cause an explosion many times worse than in March 2011.

NHK WORLD, Oct 30, 2013: [...] The firm hopes to begin the removal at the facility's Number 4 reactor on November 8th. Tokyo Electric plans to check whether the rods are damaged by debris that fell into the pool in March 2011, and to ensure that they do not get caught in the debris during the removal process.

West Coast of North America to Be Hit Hard by Fukushima Radiation (http://www.thetreeofliberty.com/vb/showthread.php?t=188101)

Radiation Levels Will Concentrate in Pockets In Baja California and Other West Coast Locations
An ocean current called the North Pacific Gyre is bringing Japanese radiation to the West Coast of North America:

While many people assume that the ocean will dilute the Fukushima radiation, a previously-secret 1955 U. S. government report concluded that the ocean may not adequately dilute radiation from nuclear accidents, and there could be "pockets" and "streams" of highly-concentrated radiation.

The University of Hawaii's International Pacific Research Center created a graphic showing the projected dispersion of debris from Japan:

Last year, scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory and 3 scientists from the GEOMAR Research Center for Marine Geosciences showed that radiation on the West Coast of North America could end up being 10 times higher than in Japan. After 10 years the concentrations become nearly homogeneous over the whole Pacific, with higher values in the east, extending along the North American coast with a maximum (~1 x 10-4) off Baja California.

I noticed no one was looking much at the (711 days after) thread. I'm Glad to see the thread was moved and Thor started this as I am in the path of the radio activity.
I took this from a post I did in the 711 days thread. Its a desperate thought from a desperate place.

I had this idea to accompany the nuclear blast idea..... If a massive directional containment wall were built around the area, deep and massive enough to cause a nuclear blast to be directed strait up (or as close to it as can be). Perhaps a large percent of the radio active material could be ejected high enough into the atmosphere to at least delay contact for a time and dispersed into a less harmful concentration. With luck there may be an atmospheric interaction along with cosmic radiation that hopefully may neutralize some radiation also. After all we do have the technology to build mountains if we work together.
  Of course this would require a near global effort and would most likely mean the deaths of many workers carrying out this project. 

For the west coast Help!

** NEWS FLASH -- URGENT ** STEAM SUDDENLY EMANATING FROM FUKUSHIMA REACTOR # 3 - WEST COAST OF NORTH AMERICA SHOULD BEGIN PREPARATIONS FOR POSSIBLE RADIATION CLOUD WITHIN 3 TO 5 DAYS (http://www.turnerradionetwork.com/news/146-mjt)

December 28, 2013  11:00 PM EST
(TRN http://www.TurnerRadioNetwork.com)

-- Persons residing on the west coast of North America should IMMEDIATELY begin preparing for another possible onslaught of dangerous atmospheric radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster site in Japan.

The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) says radioactive steam has suddenly begun emanating from previously exploded nuclear reactor building #3 at the Fukuishima disaster site in Japan.

TEPCO says they do not know why this is happening and cannot go into the building to see what's happening due to damage and lethal radiation levels in that building.

Experts say this could be the beginning of  a "spent fuel pool criticality (meltdown)" involving up to 89 TONS of nuclear fuel burning up into the atmosphere and heading to North America. Steam photo, full details and suggested methods to protect yourself appear below.

On December 28, 2013, the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) admitted steam was seen billowing out of reactor building #3, saying the steam appeared to be coming from what's left of the fifth floor of the mostly-destroyed building.

It is widely known that persons cannot get inside Reactor Building #3 because it is severely damaged and highly radioactive, so TEPCO cannot state for certain what is happening in that building or why. TEPCO admits they do not know why this steam is being generated, but matter-of-factly revealed today (December 28)  the steam was first spotted on December 19 for a short period of time, then again on December 24 and again on December 25.

Nuclear energy experts have told TRN that the ONLY way this could be happening is if radioactive material previously ejected from the reactor explosion in March, 2011 has mixed together with other materials and has begun its own self-sustaining reaction(s), also known as a "criticality."

Put simply, another "meltdown" may be taking place.

There are basically two possibilities if another meltdown is in progress:

1) Pellets of radioactive fuel, ejected when the reactor exploded, have mixed together and "mini" meltdowns are taking place with those small clumps of pellets.  This would not be a horrific problem and may be manageable, OR;

2) Pellets of radioactive fuel, ejected when the reactor exploded, went into the spent fuel pool located above the reactor and have begun melting down so seriously they are boiling off the water in the spent fuel pool.
 
Since steam is visible, experts tell TRN that Scenario #2 above is is the most likely scenario and if so,  it would be an absolute nightmare -- WORSE than the original Fukushima disaster!

The Spent Fuel Pool was situated on the fourth floor above Reactor #3, and if this is the source of the steam, the situation could escalate rapidly out of control.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/fuku__4_diagram_28dec13.png)

As shown in the diagram above, the spent fuel pool is not a contained structure; it is literally a "pool" filled with water, to keep old fuel cool.

(The metal radioactive fuel, once removed from a nuclear reactor, remains hot enough to melt itself for two to three YEARS after being removed from a reactor.)

The experts tell TRN that if steam is coming out of reactor building #3 this could very well be the start of a much worse radiation release because once the spent fuel pool begins its own reactions, all of it will be uncontrolled and uncontrollable.

To provide insight into how much trouble this could be, the chart below proves that, according to TEPCO, reactor #3 was loaded with 566 fuel assemblies.  The spent fuel pool in reactor building #3 contains 514 assemblies; about 89 TONS.  If that "goes critical" there's nothing to contain the radiation which will go directly into the air.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/fukufuelinfo.png)


The video below was taken several months ago by TEPCO. It shows that the roof is totally blown off reactor building # 3 and shows a robotic crane being operated by remote control, trying to clear debris from the Reactor # 3 spent fuel pool.

TEPCO is forced use robotic cranes operated by remote control because the area is so contaminated, anyone entering the area would die from radiation within one hour.

AGreenRoad - Fukushima Daiichi Unit 3 Spent Fuel Pool Debris Removal Work Pt 1

Published on Nov 22, 2013
http://www.agreenroadproject.org

The area around #3 is so 'hot' and dangerous that people cannot even go there. Instead, robot cranes operated by remote control are picking up the debris around the spent fuel pool in preparation for removing whatever fuel rods are left; after a fire and meltdown event a few days after 3/11.

TEPCO is not even planning on approaching this spent fuel pool to do any removal of anything in the near future, other than the debris. Nothing like this has ever happened in the history of the human race.

Plutonium was released from this spent fuel pool in the fire and the explosion at reactor #3, and the only question left is how much, where it went, and what effects it will have globally on all life. Please like this video and subscribe to this channel.

Thanks for watching :)   for more info, go to: http://tinyurl.com/agrindex

Imagine, now, 89 tons of nuclear fuel boiling away that spent fuel pool water and releasing 89 tons of deadly radioactive fuel directly into the air.

Two to three days later, the West Coast of North America would be "fried" by levels of airborne radiation and "hot particles" which could kill.

Can you do a refresh us on the pools. 1, 2, 3 & 4
I know 4 will be/is being unloaded.  3 is the above story, For the few of us with limmited memory, what happened to 1 & 2. If they blew up before why did they not have the same problem as they say 3 will have. What's the difference Thor? Why the different panic? Maybe you answered this in the UT vids that I can't see.

AGreenRoad - TEPCO/Fukushima Lies Exposed Around Building #4, SFP, Core. Equipment Pool, Melt-Out

Published on Dec 22, 2013
http://www.agreenroadproject.org

This is a theory about the equipment pool of R4 totally melting down.

Watch the overwhelming proof in this material, that suggests TEPCO and the nuclear industry are lying about many of the things that happened with building number 4.

The pictures tell a story that does not line up with what TEPCO and the nuclear industry is saying about Building #4.

Satellite imagery of Fukushima all four reactors from March 14, 2011 @11:04am note R4 is steaming away! TEPCO and NRC claims R4 blew from hydrogen entering from reactor 3 pipe. How could this be possible when R3 is blown up and we can clearly see R4 undergoing extreme heat steam release?

Satellite imagery from March 14, 2011 @11:04am R1 blown up melted down bottom left next up is the R2 building outside structure intact, next R3 MOX plutonium reactor blown up steaming heavily to atmosphere centre pic, top is R4 steaming away putting into question the lie from the nuclear industry that R4 blew up from hydrogen from R3.

March 14 2011
@ 11:01am R3 building explodes, injuring six workers.

@ 13:15pm The reactor core isolation cooling system for reactor 2 stops and, shortly afterwards, the water level within the reactor starts falling.

@ 15:00pm A major part of the fuel in R3 meltsdown and drops to the bottom of the reactor pressure vessel.

@ 18:00pm: The water level in R2 reaches the top of the fuel and by 20:00pm Core damage starts occurring in R2.

There are no images of Fukushima on March 15, 2011 due to a 9 hour fire that breaks out at R4.

Radiation levels at the plant rise significantly and the works evacuate. @11:00am A second explosion of reactor 3 happens.

Satellite imagery from March 16, 2011 @09:35am see R4 to the left (south) steaming from the south wall where the sfp (spent fuel pool) is located. R3 is steaming like a jet into the atmosphere centre pic most damaged reactor. Can see R1 on the right blown up and no steam as it would have already burned and released its lethal load to the environment.

Satellite imagery March 16, 2011 @ 10:35am Just like the picture before this one we can see R1 in red box at top (north) with no steam from its already melted fuel. R4 is at the bottom (south) in red box no steam seen from the north wall.

March 16, 2011 Zoom on North wall of R4 molten mass note the molten mass that flowed out of the wall is gold colour it later turns black as pictures will show. Also note the black smoke rising from R4!

Satellite imagery March 17, 2011 @ 12:00am steam from all reactors dissipates compared to the first week of releases.

March 17, 2011 from helicopter TEPCO says/confirms there is water in R4SFP.

March 18, 2011 fly over. Yellow smoke seen rising up from R4SFP indicating fuel damage in the SFP!

March 18, 2011 fly over Zoom of molten mass that flowed out of R4 north wall the same side as the Equipment Pool (EP). The R4SFP in located on the south wall.

March 20, 2011 drone fly over facing west, see R4 north wall buckled and blob melted out.

March 20, 2011 drone fly over looking straight down see the buckle in the north wall. SFP is still steaming away-good thing that means there is water.

March 20,2011 heat signature from thermographic images show there was more to reactor 4 then the spent fuel pool. The SFP would be on the left and the core in the muddle and the equipment pool on the right all show heat signatures.

(more info in link provided above)

There is no question I think, TEPCO and the nuclear industry are lying about Reactor 4. Is the SFP all burned up? I don't think it all is... but it's definitely damaged and definitely lost some fuel. Pictures show steam so that means water and current 2013 images show intact fuel so it could not have gone completely dry as there would not be such intact fuel assemblies as we see now.

Did the equipment pool go dry? Well, it sure looks like it, from heat signature, melted fuel and more.

Did the core burn? Well, it looks like it did burn, from the heat signatures and burn marks.

Did the R4SFP burn? Well, it looks like it partially burned, but not fully.

AND KEEP IN MIND: Reading the NRC's FOIA documents revealed the following:

The 10 Most Radioactive
Places on Earth

While the 2011 earthquake and worries surrounding Fukushima have 'somewhat' brought the threat of radioactivity and fallout with every rain and snow event back into the public consciousness, many people still don't realize that radioactive contamination is a worldwide danger.

Radionuclides are in the top six toxic threats as listed in the 2010 report by The Blacksmith Institute, an NGO dedicated to tackling pollution. You might be surprised by the locations of some of the world’s most radioactive places — and thus the number of people living in fear of the effects radiation could have on them and their children.

Perhaps after you see the "Hot Ten", one might consider the other resources at the www.ClimateViewer.com site.

Here is a screen shot from www.ClimateViewer.com which, because you’re reading this, is well worth your time to explore.

It shows locations of everything from radioactive waste sites, chemical weapons munitions dumps, nuclear reactors, uranium mines; then there are all the other things you can locate like coal burning power plants, fracking gas wells, Superfund clean-up sites and an amazing amount of additional information.

10. Hanford, USA

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/plutoniumReactor_Handord-640.jpg)


WASHINGTON — The amount of plutonium buried at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State is nearly three times what the federal government previously reported, a new analysis indicates, suggesting that a cleanup to protect future generations will be far more challenging than planners had assumed.

Question: What if that 'misstatement' by the federal government applies to all nuclear waste (accounted for   :P) in the United States?

The numbers that have been bandied about for many years by the NRC, DOE, DOD and various mouthpieces for various agencies with various presidents are between 70,000 and 200,000+ metric tons.

That was what Yucca Mountain was/is about. Stay tuned on that fish rotting in the glaring Nevada sun.

Even Zorgon can smell that stench 'way over in Las Vegas at his lovely fortress.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/zorgons_castle-640.jpg)


The Hanford Site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanford_Site), in Washington, was an integral part of the US atomic bomb project, manufacturing plutonium for the first nuclear bomb and “Fat Man,” used at Nagasaki. As the Cold War waged on, it ramped up production, supplying plutonium for most of America’s 60,000 nuclear weapons.

Although decommissioned, it still holds two thirds of the volume of the country’s high-level radioactive waste — about 53 million gallons of liquid waste, 25 million cubic feet of solid waste and 200 square miles of contaminated groundwater underneath the area, making it the most contaminated site in the US.

The environmental devastation of this area makes it clear that the threat of radioactivity is not simply something that will arrive in a missile attack, but could be lurking in the heart of your own country. More information available at the Hanford Site (http://www.hanford.gov/), Department of Energy website.

9. The Mediterranean

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/sardinia.jpg)


[youtube]ETTjgEvf38U[/youtube]


For years, there have been allegations that the ‘Ndrangheta syndicate of the Italian mafia has been using the seas as a convenient location in which to dump hazardous waste — including radioactive waste — charging for the service and pocketing the profits.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Tyrrhenian_Sea_map-500.png)


Being hidden by the Italian government, coasts of 22 countries in Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are now affected by sure ecological and public health disaster.

The Tyrrhenian Sea has been ‘intentionally poisoned with toxic waste’ and ‘government officials have known about it all along.’

The secret just has to be buried deep, as some authorities have vowed it to be, that ‘a journalist has been killed, possibly for trying to reveal the truth about the disposal of waste by the international Ecomafia and their colluding government and corporate interests.’


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/ilaria-alpi-e-miran-hrovatin.jpg)
(photo courtesy: grandefratellino)

The award-winning journalist described was multi-lingual Rai television reporter Ilaria Alpi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilaria_Alpi). Leonardi says she was following the trail (http://www.netnomad.com/ilaria.html) of arms and toxic garbage trafficking from Italy to Somalia in 1994 when she and her camera man, Miran Hrovatin, were gunned down and killed in Mogadishu.

In the 2002 movie Ilaria Alpi - Il più crudele dei giorni, directed by Ferdinando Vincentini Ornagni, she is portrayed by Giovanna Mezzogiorno.

‘Dozens of ships with the radioactive and toxic cargoes have been intentionally sunk by organized crime syndicates.’ This has brought about ‘epidemic levels of cancerous tumors and thyroid problems’ victimizing the many coasts of the Mediterranean Sea. A report says that there are between 32 and 41 such ships sunk in international waters between Italy, Greece, and Spain.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/barrels-of-nuclear-waste.jpg)

An Italian NGO, Legambiente, suspects that about 40 ships loaded with toxic and radioactive waste have disappeared in Mediterranean waters since 1994.

If true, these allegations paint a worrying picture of an unknown amount of nuclear waste in the Mediterranean whose true danger will only become clear when the hundreds of barrels degrade or somehow otherwise break open. The beauty of the Mediterranean Sea may well be concealing another environmental catastrophe in the making.

8. The Somalian Coast

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/somalia_barrel_toxic.jpg)

[youtube]H71kMPy-UvU[/youtube]


The Italian mafia (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/sep/16/shipwreck-waste-mafia-italy) organization just mentioned has not just stayed in its own region when it comes to this sinister business. There are also allegations that Somalian waters and soil, unprotected by government, have been used for the sinking or burial of nuclear waste and toxic metals — including 600 barrels of toxic and nuclear waste, as well as radioactive hospital waste.

Indeed, the United Nations’ Environment Program believes that the rusting barrels of waste washed up on the Somalian coastline during the 2004 Tsunami were dumped as far back as the 1990s. The country is already an anarchic wasteland, and the effects of this waste on the impoverished population could be as bad if not worse than what they have already experienced.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/somaliPirateMap-590.jpg) (https://www.mtholyoke.edu/~ahmed24h/pirates/root.html)


“…As soon as the government was gone, mysterious European ships started appearing off the coast of Somalia, dumping vast barrels into the ocean. The coastal population began to sicken. At first they suffered strange rashes, nausea and malformed babies. Then, after the 2005 tsunami, hundreds of the dumped and leaking barrels washed up on shore."

People began to suffer from radiation sickness, and more than 300 died (http://ecolocalizer.com/2011/03/27/more-illegally-dumped-radioactive-waste-found-on-somalias-coast/).

Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah, the UN envoy to Somalia, tells me: ‘Somebody is dumping nuclear material here. There is also lead, and heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury – you name it.’

Much of it can be traced back to European hospitals and factories, who seem to be passing it on to the Italian mafia to ‘dispose’ of cheaply.

When I asked Mr Ould-Abdallah what European governments were doing about it, he said
with a sigh: "Nothing. There has been no clean-up, no compensation, and no prevention."

At the same time, other European ships have been looting Somalia’s seas of their greatest resource: seafood. We have destroyed our own fish stocks by over-exploitation – and now we have moved on to theirs. More than $300m-worth of tuna, shrimp, and lobster are being stolen every year by illegal trawlers. The local fishermen are now starving.”


Floating in a Sea of Hazardous Nuclear Waste

The Somalia press (http://somalilandpress.com/somalia-radioactive-waste-surfaces-coastline-minister-21250) has also reported details about this ongoing environmental disaster that is being inflicted upon the impoverished nation. Mohammed O. Ali, the Director of Somalia’s Ministry of Aviation and Transport, explains that the once clean blue Somalia seas are now horribly contaminated with a growing toxic-waste nightmare, as more and more western chemical and shipping firms continue to poison their waters. Ali explained that:

“…the toxic dumping, which includes highly radioactive nuclear waste, was destroying the fragile coastal ecology and the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Somalis. Some residents in Mogadishu’s coastal areas already reported hundreds of dead fish washing ashore every day."

During the height of the Somali civil war, Swiss and Italian firms Achair Partners and Progresso, signed a secret agreement with the transitional government of warlord Ali Mahdi Mohamed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Mahdi_Muhammad). Taking advantage of the chaos and the fact that Ali Mahdi was desperate for arms and cash to oust rival General Farah Aideed– the European firms began to unload thousands of tonnes of toxic waste arriving in steel drums off the coast of Somalia. Some even made it to the mainland and were buried in 40 inches by 30 inches holes.

The main perpetrators are said to be Italian firms controlled by the mafia, whose job is to dispose Europe’s extremely hazardous waste. Locals also suspect German and Danish shipping companies are in the trade, with some contracted to transport thousands of tonnes of poisonous stockpile including 60,000 hexachlorobenzene (HCB) barrels from Australia.

They say, sometimes instead of taking the hazardous waste to Europe where it can be incinerated, they dump it in the Somali coast to save money and time and also they face strong opposition from Europe’s environmental action groups.

In 2010, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish port staff refused to unload a ship carrying 3,000 tonnes of HCB waste from Sydney, Australia. Furthermore they said one gram of HCB was enough to contaminate one billion gallons (over 3 billion litres) of water.”

7. Mayak Chemical Combine, Russia (Chelyabinsk-40)

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Mayak-Chemical-Combine-Russia-victim-and-radiation-sign.jpg)


The industrial complex of Mayak, in Russia’s north-east, has had a nuclear plant for decades, and in 1957 was the site of one of the world’s worst nuclear accidents. Up to 100 tons of radioactive waste were released by an explosion, contaminating a massive area. The explosion was kept under wraps until the 1980s.

Starting in the 1950s, waste from the plant was dumped in the surrounding area and into Lake Karachay. This has led to contamination of the water supply that thousands rely on daily.

Experts believe that Karachay may be the most radioactive place in the world, and over 400,000 people have been exposed to radiation from the plant as a result of the various serious incidents that have occurred — including fires and deadly dust storms.

The natural beauty of Lake Karachay belies its deadly pollutants, with the radiation levels where radioactive waste flows into its waters enough to give a man a fatal dose within an hour.

A report compiled in 1991 found that the incidence of leukemia in the region had increased by 41% since Chelyabinsk-40 opened for business, and that during the 1980s cancers had increased by 21% and circulatory disorders rose by 31%. It is probable, however, that the true numbers are much higher since doctors were required to limit the number diagnoses issued for cancer and other radiation-related illnesses.

In the village of Muslyumovo, a local physician's personal records from 1993 indicated an average male lifespan of 45 years compared to 69 in the rest of the country. Birth defects, sterility, and chronic disease also increased dramatically.

In all, over a million Russian citizens were directly affected by the misadventures of the Mayak Chemical Combine from 1948 to 1990, including around 28,000 people classified as "seriously irradiated."

Russia has long been fond of producing the most massive specimens of military might: the monstrous Tsar Cannon, the 200-ton Tsar Bell, the cumbersome Tsar Tank, and the 50-megaton Tsar Bomba. In that "biggest-ever" tradition, the Mayak Chemical Combine is now credited by the Worldwatch Institute as the creator of the "most polluted spot" in history, a mess whose true magnitude is yet to be known.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/018_mayak_nuclear.jpg)


The chemical explosion at Chelyabinsk was caused by a fault in the reactor’s cooling system. In an incredible display of poor engineering and cavalier attitudes towards nuclear safety, the design of the nuclear waste storage tanks did not allow repairs of the cooling system if it began to fail.

6. Sellafield, UK

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/sellafield-9852b.jpg)

Behind the razor wire, security guards and public relations campaigns, Sellafield is home to some of the most radioactive buildings in Europe.

Sellafield: The dangers of Britain's nuclear dustbin
Located on the west coast of England, Sellafield (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sellafield) was originally a plutonium production facility for nuclear bombs, but then moved into commercial territory.

Since the start of its operation, hundreds of accidents have occurred at the plant, and around two thirds of the buildings themselves are now classified as nuclear waste.

The plant releases some 8 million liters of contaminated waste into the sea on a daily basis, making the Irish Sea the most radioactive sea in the world.

England is known for its green fields and rolling landscapes, but nestled in the heart of this industrialized nation is a toxic, accident-prone facility, spewing dangerous waste into the oceans of the world.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/chernobyl_legacy_photo.png)

 
The UK has the largest stockpile
of Plutonium anywhere in the world
and it’s all stored at Sellafield.

Plutonium is used for the manufacture of nuclear weapons and is extremely radioactive with a half-life of 25,000 years.
 
According to Francis Livons, research director of the Dalton Nuclear Institute in Manchester, this 113 tonne Plutonium mountain is the historical consequence of the British nuclear weapons programme in the 1950’s and 60’s and of over 60 years of reprocessing nuclear fuel.
 
Since the late 1980’s the plant has been plagued by technical failures and, according to Livons, and a lack of political will to invest in new technology that works. He also said a vast amount of other nuclear waste stored at Sellafield “is not in a good state at-all.”
 
It is the task of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) to clean all this up. The plans are to pay the French company Areva, who have proved their technology works, to build a new mixed oxide fuel (MOX) plant.

The other option is to let the US-Japanese GE-Hitachi build a new fast PRISM reactor on the site to burn the plutonium and produce electricity. This is a more elegant engineering option but the reactor is totally unproven and is decades away from completion.

The GE-Hitachi plans have been met with dismay by many locals, despite the prospects of large scale job creation in the area. Martin Fullwood, campaign coordinator at CORE has branded the proposals “absolute nonsense”.
 
Livons admits that the fast reactor plans are extremely ambitious, given that this type of reactor has never been built anywhere in the world before.

If new nuclear does go ahead in the UK then the technology will be French, Japanese or American. Britain’s post war dreams of being a world leader in nuclear energy lie in radioactive ruins in Sellafield.
 
Douglas Parr, the head scientist at Greenpeace, told RT, “Sellafield is a monument to the huge failings of the British nuclear industry.”

5. Siberian Chemical Combine

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/siberia.jpg)

Mayak is not the only contaminated site in Russia; Siberia is home to a chemical facility (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seversk) that contains over four decades’ worth of nuclear waste.

Liquid waste is stored in uncovered pools and poorly maintained containers hold over 125,000 tons of solid waste, while underground storage has the potential to leak to groundwater.

Wind and rain have spread the contamination to wildlife and the surrounding area. And various minor accidents have led to plutonium going missing and explosions spreading radiation.

While the snowy landscape may look pristine and immaculate, the facts make clear the true level of pollution to be found here.

Once the location for the Soviet Union’s nuclear weapons testing, this area is now part of modern-day Kazakhstan. The site was earmarked for the Soviet atomic bomb project due to its “uninhabited” status — despite the fact that 700,000 people lived in the area.

The facility was where the USSR detonated its first nuclear bomb and is the record-holder for the place with the largest concentration of nuclear explosions in the world: 456 tests over 40 years from 1949 to 1989.

While the testing carried out at the facility — and its impact in terms of radiation exposure — were kept under wraps by the Soviets until the facility closed in 1991, scientists estimate that 200,000 people have had their health directly affected by the radiation.

The desire to destroy foreign nations has led to the specter of nuclear contamination hanging over the heads of those who were once citizens of the USSR.

3. Mailuu-Suu, Kyrgyzstan

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Kyrgyzstan-uranium-mining-warning-sign.jpg)

Considered one of the top ten most polluted sites on Earth by the 2006 Blacksmith Institute report, the radiation at Mailuu-Suu comes not from nuclear bombs or power plants, but from mining for the materials needed in the processes they entail.

The area was home to a uranium mining and processing facility and is now left with 36 dumps of uranium waste — over 1.96 million cubic meters. The region is also prone to seismic activity, and any disruption of the containment could expose the material or cause some of the waste to fall into rivers, contaminating water used by hundreds of thousands of people. These people may not ever suffer the perils of nuclear attack, but nonetheless they have good reason to live in fear of radioactive fallout every time the earth shakes.

Home to one of the world’s worst and most infamous nuclear accidents, Chernobyl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_Nuclear_Power_Plant) is still heavily contaminated, despite the fact that a small number of people are now allowed into the area for a limited amount of time.

The notorious accident caused over 6 million people to be exposed to radiation, and estimates as to the number of deaths that will eventually occur due to the Chernobyl accident range from 4,000 to as high as 93,000.

(This figure is highly questionable, even for wiki - tfw)

The accident released 100 times more radiation than the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombs. Belarus absorbed 70 percent of the radiation, and its citizens have been dealing with increased cancer incidence ever since. Even today, the word Chernobyl conjures up horrifying images of human suffering.

The 2011 earthquake and tsunami was a tragedy that destroyed homes and lives, but the effects of the Fukushima nuclear power plant may be the most long-lasting danger.

The worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl, the incident caused meltdown of three of the six reactors, leaking radiation into the surrounding area and the sea, such that radiative material has been detected as far as 200 miles from the plant. As the incident and its ramifications are still unfolding, the true scale of the environmental impact is still unknown. The world may still be feeling the effects of this disaster for generations to come.

Title: Re: The World Must Take Charge at Fukushima
Post by: spacemaverick on January 04, 2014, 09:09:22 am
When I look at the information put forth I am sickened by how we have polluted the planet.  I used to call environmentalists - tree huggers and all those other names.  I fell in with the mainstream of people and their thought patterns.  Then Chernobyl happened and I became a little bit more aware but not to the point of dipping into research myself and the research of others to find out what was transpiring.  Then Fukushima happened and it just so happened that I had gotten hurt at work and I had time to sit down at the computer and found out what a huge problem we now had.  (Life and living happened)  I had become so engrossed in everyday living and providing for my family that I forgot to look around me and noticing what was going on in the world.

Fukushima was not in the mainstream news for long.  I had been paying attention to the wars going on and failed to notice we had the same issues as Japan did in our own back yard.  The failure of the nuclear industry not monitoring the condition of the plants infrastructure, rules and regulations and enforcement of said rules and regs along with the priority of making profits instead of regulation has caused us to be in this position.  The real lack of concern for the industry to properly place these plants in places that would not place people in danger became an issue also, hence Fukushima being at a lower level where it would be effected by a tsunami...the Calhoun plant being flooded...etc.

Boy, did I get a wake-up call!  This caused me to start disseminating information the best I knew how.  I started a thread on a forum that dealt with the problem until that forum went belly up.  Lucky for me someone had saved that thread in PDF form and gave it to me.  I went to another forum and continued with that same subject matter and then that one shut down.  I did not recover the information from there unfortunately.  I had been a member of Pegasus for awhile and ran across THOR.  His information is much more detailed and now I reap the benefit of this more detailed information he ha put forth.

I believe now that we all have a responsibility to tell the rest of the world of the dangers we have been facing and should shout it from the rooftops.  We are all busy with life and living and not all of us can give the same amount of time to the task but everyone can give some time and effort to putting out the information.  We are not responsible for the other people believing but I believe we are responsible to put out the information.  We are not dealing with a theory or conspiracy but a cold hard reality which can and will eventually kill us if we do not get a handle on the situation.  I have even used social media to get out the word along with word of mouth from myself personally where I live and meet with friends.  Most people don't want to hear it but even if you get through to one person you have accomplished much.

I lost my job again because of the economy but I do have a retirement from law enforcement coming in so I have some time to devote to Fukushima again and I'm using it.  Once I am back to work that time will be reduced but I must continue on.  THORFOURWINDS has put forth a huge effort to educate everyone with good accurate information and this should be spread far and wide.  You all are very serious about your projects and I hope you can also take on this subject with equal time because it affects us all in a serious way.  Thanks THOR for your valiant effort.

ISIS Report 05/06/12

The release of radioactivity from Fukushima is at least as great as from Chernobyl,
and a humanitarian disaster on the scale of Chernobyl needs to be averted
by acknowledging the truth and taking responsibility for mitigating measures.

Dr. Mae-Wan Ho (http://www.i-sis.org.uk/Truth_About_Fukushima.php)



(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Death-camp-promote~0.jpg)



Special report to be included in Science in Society #55 (available August 2012). Pre-order now or Subscribe. All proceeds from SiS 55 will be donated to children of Fukushima and Chernobyl

Regulators seriously economical with the truth
“Few people will develop cancer as a consequence of being exposed to the radioactive material that spewed from Japan’s Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant…and those who do will never know for sure what caused their disease.”

These conclusions, published in the journal Nature [1] are based on two “comprehensive, independent assessments” from UNSCEAR (United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation) and WHO (World Health Organisation), both notorious for downplaying and denying the devastating health impacts of the Chernobyl accident [2] (see Chernobyl Deaths Top a Million Based on Real Evidence (http://www.i-sis.org.uk/Chernobyl_Deaths_Top_a_Million.php), SiS 55).

They are now using the same tactics to rule out, a priori, potential health impacts from Fukushima radioactive releases.

According to the draft UNSCEAR report seen by Nature [1], 167 workers at the plant received radiation doses that “slightly raise their risk of developing cancer.”

Actually, six former reactor workers have died since the catastrophe, but UNSCEAR ruled they were unrelated to the accident [3].

“There may be some increase in cancer risk that may not be detectable statistically,” Kiuohiko Mabuchi, head of Chernobyl studies at the National Cancer Institute in Rockville, Maryland, told Nature. He said that in Chernobyl, where clean-up workers were exposed to much higher dose, 0.1 % of the 110,000 workers surveyed have so far developed leukaemia, although not all of those cases resulted from the accident. In fact, the death rate of the “clean-up workers” at Chernobyl remained high even four years after the accident, and 20 years later, 115,000 (out of 830,000) are dead [2].

WHO, for its part, estimates that most residents of Fukushima and neighbouring Japanese prefectures received absorbed doses below 10 mSv [1]. Residents of Namie town and Iitate village, not evacuated until months after the accident, received 10-50 mSv, though infants in Namie may have been exposed to enough I-131 to have received 100-200 mSv.

The government aims to keep public exposure from the accident below 20 mSv, but in the longer term, it wants to decontaminate the region so residents will receive no more than 1 mSv per year from the accident. Thus, people have been exposed within a matter of weeks, 10 to 200 times the legal limit dose for a whole year.

Yet, WHO’s conclusion for Fukushima is the same as for Chernobyl [1]: “A greater health risk may come from the psychological stress created.”   :P

One day later...

A day later, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) announced that the amount of radioactive material released during the first days of the Fukushima nuclear disaster was almost two and a half times the initial estimate by Japanese safety regulators [4]. The operator said the meltdowns at the three reactors released about 900,000 Terabecquerels (1012 Bq) of radioactive substances into the air during March 2011.

The later estimate was based on measurements suggesting the amount of radioactive iodine I-131 released was much larger than previous estimates. TEPCO said it had initially been unable to accurately judge the amount of radioactive materials released because radiation sensors closest to the plant were disabled in the disaster.

Several days later, ex-Prime Minister Naoto Ken apologized for his role in the Fukushima nuclear crisis [5].

His government’s push for nuclear energy was largely to blame. Ken had stepped down in September 2011 when the government faced fierce criticism over its handling of the crisis and for providing too little information to the public. It was Ken, however, who ordered TEPCO to keep the men on site; otherwise Fukushima would have spiralled out of control, according to a private panel probing the accident.

But the threat remains. Experts are now worried about the state of the spent fuel pool in unit 4, which is unlikely to withstand another earthquake [6]. The severely damaged unit 4 building houses a spent nuclear fuel pool that contains 10 times the amount of Cs-137 released at Chernobyl.

Nearly all of the 10,893 spent fuel assemblies at the Fukushima Daiichi plant sit in pools vulnerable to future earthquakes, with altogether 85 times the long-lived radioactivity released at Chernobyl. A letter was sent by 72 Japanese NGOs to the United Nations with an urgent request for immediate action to stabilize Unit 4’s spent nuclear fuel. The letter was endorsed by nuclear experts from both Japan and abroad.

Andrew DeWit, professor of political economy at Rikkyo University told Al Jazeera that transparency on the issues of nuclear energy was paramount. And that is precisely what’s lacking, in Japan, and in the world at large.

“We heard it first from the internet”
Miwa Chiwaki from Kodomo Fukushima (Fukushima network to protect children from radiation) said [7] it was in a BBC programme via the internet that people first saw pictures of the explosions at the power station. The Japanese government had information from SPEEDI (System for Prediction of Environment Emergency Dose Information) and they passed the information first to the US government on 14 March and to the Japanese people only on 23 March.

The day after the tsunami struck the Fukushima nuclear plant, thousands of residents at the nearby town of Namie gathered to evacuate. In the absence of guidance from Tokyo, the town officials led the residents north, in the belief that the winter winds would blow south and carry away the radioactive plume.

They stayed in the Tsushima district for three nights where the children played outside and some parents used the water from a mountain stream to cook rice [8]. But the ill winds from Fukushima had been blowing directly towards them in Tsushima, as it would transpire two months later.

SPEEDI had predicted that. But bureaucrats in Tokyo had not seen it their responsibility to make that information public. Japan’s political leaders did not know about the system, and later downplayed the data, fearful of having to enlarge the evacuation zone and acknowledge the severity of the accident.

Tamotsu Baba, the mayor of Namie, now living with thousands in temporary housing in another town, condemned the withholding of information as being akin to “murder”.

The true level of contamination is also hidden from people, Chiwaki said [7]. Many mothers queued up with their children in the rain for several hours to receive water rations (while radioactivity was being washed down over them with the rain), in Iitate, villagers were left in very high levels of contamination for a whole month.

“Advisers on radiation control from Fukushima prefecture flocked to the villages,” Chiwaki said, “and, with broad smiles on their faces, told the people that “there is nothing to worry about, you can let your children play outside.”” Three days later, the village was classified “planned evacuation zone”.

The circumstances of the accident and the real levels of contamination were only revealed piecemeal. A “safety campaign” was initiated on 20 March.
 
Professor Shunichi Yamapoopa of Nagasaki University was sent around the country, smiling and say things like: “100 mSv? No problem!”

“Radiation is only a threat to people who worry about it.”


“Smile and you won’t be affected by the radiation.”

Radioactivity, dose and general exposure limits
A great deal of confusion and anxiety is created by the different units used in announcements to the popular media. The unit of radioactivity is a Becquerel, Bq, equal to 1 radioactive disintegration per second, coming directly from a source, a radionuclide in contaminated food or drink, soil or air. Larger units are the kBq (1,000), MBq (106), (GBq (109), TBq (1012), PBq (1015), and EBq (1018).

The unit of absorbed dose (amount of energy absorbed by a unit of material) is the Gray, Gy, equal to 1 Joule/kg. The equivalent or effective dose is the Sievert, Sv (also in units of Joule/kg) is the absorbed dose modified to represent the presumed biological effect. Note that 1 Joule is a very small amount of energy.

But unlike ordinary chemical energy, where typically kJ quantities are needed before anything can happen, the energy in ionizing radiation exists in extremely concentrated quanta or packets; hence 1 J of energy would already contain many of these energetic missiles (typically a billion) that target atoms and molecules. This is the major difference between ionizing radiation and ordinary chemical energy.

The Becquerel and the Sievert are not directly convertible, because it depends on the radionuclide involved, which particles or photons it produces per disintegration, and how much energy each of the photons or particles carries.

There is a website that tells you how the calculation is done and actually does it for you [9] (http://www.radprocalculator.com/Gamma.aspx). Some useful approximate correspondences are:
1 mSv of I-131 = 2.06525 x 106 Bq
1 mSv of Cs-137 = 1.30878 x 106 Bq

Radiation exposure considers how long a period over which the dose is absorbed, usually in mSv/year.

The exposure limit in Europe is 1 mSv/year for the public, and the occupational exposure, 20 mSv/year [10]. For USA, the occupational exposure limit is 50 mSv, reduced to 10 % for pregnant women. Dose limit for the public is 1 mSv/year, in addition to a background of o.3 mSv and 0.05 mSv from sources such as medical X-ray [11].


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/radiation-levels.png)


To put these exposure limits in perspective, it is generally recognized that a dose of 1,000 mSi will kill an adult.

A whole body dose of 400 mSi will kill about 50 % of people within 60 days of the exposure, mostly from infection, as their immune systems are destroyed [12].

At very low doses, such as what most of us receive every day from background radiation, the cells are able to repair the damage, though the recent discovery of bystander effects indicate that doses as low as tens of mSi are harmful [3].

At higher doses (up to 100 mSi), the cells may not be able to repair the damage, and may either be changed permanently, or die. Most cells that die are replaced with few consequences. Cells changed permanently may give rise to diseases, they may go on to produce abnormal cells when they divide, and may become cancerous.

A comment submitted to the ICRP (International Commission on Radiological Protection) by the Sierra Club in 2006 stated [13]: “Numerous academic researchers, independent scholars, and governmental bodies, such as the U.S. National Academies of Science and National Research Council, have now concluded that the linear no-threshold hypothesis is valid and that there is no “safe” level of radiation exposure.”


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/en_8b-Alternatives-640.jpg)


Exposure limits and exposure levels in Japan post-Fukushima
The pre-Fukushima legal exposure limit for the public in Japan was 10 mSi/y and 50 mSi/y for occupational exposure [14]. The occupational legal limits were soon scrapped after the accident. At the end of April 2011, the Japanese government released a map based on air surveys done by MEXT (Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology), which revealed that people living in areas not being evacuated will receive radiation doses up to 23.5 times their annual legal limit over the course of the next year [15].

It is important to note that all the exposure limits and projected exposure mentioned so far are for external sources. As the French expert body, Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire (IRSN) pointed out, they take no account of [15, p. 4] “exposure from other pathways such as immersion within the plume and inhalation of particles in the plume during the accident nor the doses already received or to be received from ingestion of contaminated foodstuffs."

"The total effective doses to be received (external + internal) could be much higher according to the type of deposit (dry or wet), diet and source of food.”
   
In addition, as Director of the Medical Institute of Environment at Gifu in Japan Matsui Eisuke pointed out [16], the government and its professional advisors in measuring exposure have relied mainly on g-rays that are easy to detect. But, in terms of internal radiation exposure, b and a- particles have a far more serious effect. “The government and TEPCO hardly measure such isotopes as b-emitting Strontium-90 or a-emitting plutonium-239.”

Exposure due to ingested or inhaled radionuclide is a major problem in radioactive fallout, particularly when prompt evacuation, radioactive monitoring, and remediation have all failed to be carried out, as was the case for both Chernobyl and Fukushima.

IRSN’s assessment of projected doses based on the Japanese map released (see Figure 1), estimated that some 70,000 people including 9,500 children are living in the most contaminated areas outside the initial 20 km evacuation zone projected to receive further doses up to 200 mSv or more. This clearly calls for further evacuation beyond the initial 20 km zone. Under Japanese Food Sanitation Law, 5,000 Bq/kg of radioactive Cs is considered the safe limit in soil [17].
 
Consequently, large areas of Japan may no longer be suitable for agriculture.

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Truth_About_Fukushima.jpg)

Figure 1.  Map of Caesium 137 + 134 deposits (Figure 7) superimposed on the map
of projected doses for the 1st year (Figure 4) for 3 dose levels only (5, 10 and 20 mSv)

The Japanese government at first raised the legal exposure limit to 20 mSi a year for the public, including children, thereby leaving them in areas from which they would have been barred under the old standard [7]. The limit for children was later scaled back to 1 mSi/y but only applies while they are inside school buildings.

In March 2012, the Japanese government announced a new standard limit for radionuclides in foods to 1 mSv/y, reducing from a previous provisional limit of 5 mSv/y. This translates into a maximum of 100 Bq/kg for regular food items such as meat, vegetables and fish (revised down from 500 Bq just after the Fukushima meltdown), 50 Bq/l for milk and infant food and 10 Bq for drinking water (revised down from 200) [18].

As shown above, this still means an accumulation of internal exposure up to 1 million Bq a year, depending on how fast the radionuclides are cleared from the body. We already know that much lower levels have proven deadly for the children of Belarus (see [19] Apple Pectin for Radioprotection, SiS 55).

According to the German Society for Radiation Protection (http://www.ippnw-students.org/chernobyl/IPPNWStudy.pdf), a person is normally exposed to about 0.3 mSv per year through ingestion of food and drink; and this should be considered the permissible level of ingested radioactivity. In order not to go beyond this level, the amount of radioactive caesium-137 should not exceed 8 Bq/kg in milk and baby formula and 16 Bq/kg in all other foodstuff.

Radioactive iodine with its short half-life should not be permitted in food at all .[20]

How much radioactivity was released by the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant?
Although a picture of the radioactivity deposited on land is emerging, the actual levels of radioactivity to which people have been exposed are impossible to tell because there is a lot of uncertainty as to how much radioactivity has been released in the series of explosions in the Fukushima nuclear plant thus far.

TEPCO’s latest press release [21] gave the amounts of radionuclides released between 12 and 31 March 2011 as follows.

Releases into the air:
Noble gas: Approx. 5x1017 Bq
Iodine 131: Approx. 5x1017 Bq
Cesium 134: Approx. 1x1016 Bq
Cesium 137: Approx. 1x1016 Bq

Releases into the ocean:
Iodine-131: Approx. 1.1x1016 Bq
Cesium-134: Approx. 3.5x1015 Bq
Cesium-137: Approx. 3.6x1015 Bq

These add up to a total of 1 038.1 x 1015Bq
or 1,038.1 PBq released.

[color=red]TEPCO admits that the radioactivity measuring equipment were “unavailable due to the accident,” so “further data still need to be collected to review the validity of the evaluation result.”[/color]

These reported radioactive releases from Fukushima are less than one-tenth those from the Chernobyl accident, a total of some 14 EBq (14 x 1,018 Bq), over half of it in noble gases [22].

How reliable are the latest TEPCO results?

Using data from radioactivity measuring posts set up under the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), the Austrian Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG) gave estimates of between 360-390 PBq Iodine-131 and about 50 PBq of Caesium-137 for the period of 12-14 March [23]. According to their calculations, the Iodine-131 emissions from Fukushima in those three days amounted to 20 % of the total Iodine-131 emissions from Chernobyl (1,760 PBq), while the emissions of Caesium-137 in those three days amounted to about 60 % of the total Caesium-137 emissions from Chernobyl (85 PBq).

A study led by the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) found about 16,700 PBq of xenon-133

250% of the amount released at Chernobyl

emitted by the Fukushima power plant between 12 and 19 March 2011,

the largest release of radioactive Xenon in history [24].

In addition, 35.8 PBq of caesium-137 (42% of the amount released at Chernobyl) was emitted in the same period (7 days...today, 10 January 2014, is 1036 days!)   :P)

The study found that radioactive emissions were first measured right after the earthquake and before the tsunami struck the plant, indicating that the quake itself had already caused substantial damage to the reactors.

The NILU report also suggests that the fire in the spent fuel pond of reactor 4 may have been the major contributor to airborne emissions, as emissions decreased significantly after the fire had been brought under control.

The same team of researchers updated their estimates in a paper published online giving estimates of 15,300 PBq of Xenon-133 and 36.6 PBq Cs-137 released into the atmosphere [25],

not counting Iodine-131 or Cs-134
- which was as much as Cs-137 -
nor releases into the ocean.

But already, this is nearly 15 times the latest TEPCO estimate for total releases.

I shall report separately in detail on this latest independent estimate, which gives a global picture of contamination from the fallout (see [26] Fukushima Fallout Rivals Chernobyl, SiS 55).

Contamination of soil [27]
MEXT conducted soil surveys in 100 locations within 80 km of the Fukushima power plant in June and July of 2011. They found contamination with various radionuclides; the main ones were strontium-90, iodine-131, and caesium-137. Strontium-90, with a half-life of 28 years, is similar to calcium, and is therefore incorporated into bone where it can remain for decades, emitting b-particles and irradiating the bone-marrow, causing leukaemia and other cancers.

Strontium-90 was found at concentrations of 1.8-32 Bq/kg at sites outside the 30 kM evacuation zone in Nishigou, Motomiya, Ootama and Ono.

Iodine-131 has a half-life of 8 days. When ingested, it is incorporated like ordinary iodine in the thyroid gland, where it emits b- and g-radiation, causing thyroid cancer especially in children. I-131 was found in milk, drinking water, vegetables and water around Northern Japan.

According to the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), iodine-131 deposition in Tokyo reached 36,000 Bq/m2  between 22 and 23 March 2011. Soil samples in the municipalities of Nishigou, Izumizaki, Ootama, Shirakawa, Nihonmatsu, Date, Iwaki, Iitate, Ono, Minamisoma and Tamura showed concentrations of I-131 between 2,000 and 1,170,000 Bq/kg. In the municipality of Ono, 40 km southwest of the Fukushima plant, MEXT scientists found up to 7,440 Bq/kg of I-131 in rainwater samples.

In August 2011, MEXT scientists still found I-131 concentrations of more than 200 Bq/kg in most of the municipalities, with maximum in Namie and Iitate of 1,300 and 1,100 Bq/kg respectively. Given its short half-life, this high level detected 145 days after the initial fallout on 15 March suggests extremely high initial contamination of the soil > 288 MBq/kg, or additional contamination of the area after the initial fallout.

To convert from Bq/kg to Bq/m2, the convention is to multiply by 20 or 65, depending on the depth to which the soil is sampled. A conservative multiplier of 20 would give a value of > 5760 MBq/kg, going way off the top of the scale shown in the map of Fig. 1, which only gives radioactivity due to Cs-137 and Cs-134.

Cs-137 has a half-life of 30 years. It is similar to Potassium, so its distribution is fairly even throughout the body if ingested. It is mainly a b-emitter, but its decay product Barium-137 also produces g-radiation. It can cause solid tumors in virtually all organs. Cs-137 has a biological half-life of 70 days and is excreted through urine like Potassium. It therefore accumulates in the bladder and irradiates the adjacent uterus and foetus in pregnant women.

IRSN states that around 874 km2 of the area outside the 20 km evacuation zone must be considered highly contaminated with Cs-137, to an estimated concentration >6MBq/m2, similar to the evacuation zone around the Chernobyl power plant [15] (see Figure 1). In fact, Cs-137 in the Fukushima prefecture even reached up to 30 MBq/m2 north-west of the plant, and up to 10 MBq/m2 in neighbouring prefectures.

Soil sample with Cs-137 between 20,000 and 220,000 Bq/kg were found by MEXT scientists in the municipalities of Iitate, Kawamata, Name, Katsurao and Nihonmatsu in April 2011. Even higher values up to 420,000 Bq/kg were recorded later in August 2011. According to IAEA, Cs-137 deposition in Tokyo reached 340 Bq/m2 22-23 March 2011.

Radioactive caesium was also found in large quantities in beef, rice, milk, fish, drinking water and other foodstuff.

Contamination of the marine environment
Massive amounts of radioactive waste water used in cooling the reactors and spent fuel ponds were discharged into the sea, seeped into the soil or ground water or evaporated into the atmosphere [27]. Between 4 and 10 April 2011, TEPCO deliberately released 10,393 tonnes of radioactive water.


It constituted the single largest
radioactive discharge into the oceans in history.


A 1-2 week pulse of radioactivity peaked in the water around the Fukushima plant on 6 April 2011, with ocean concentrations of 68 MBq/m3, and an estimated total release of up to 22 PBq [28, 29]; TEPCO admits 18.1 PBq [21]. After considerable dilution 2-3 months following the peak, surface concentrations were still higher than previously existing by as much as 10,000-fold in coastal waters and as much as 1,000-fold over a 150,000 km2 area of the Pacific up to 600 k east of Japan.


Radioactive Cesium was detected in all species of
marine organisms ranging from phytoplankton to fish.


The waters northeast of the Fukushima plant are among the major fishing zones in the world, responsible for half of Japan’s seafood. But catch from the Ibaraki prefecture showed such high levels of radioactive isotopes that it had to be discarded as radioactive waste [27].

Radioactive contamination in the ocean does not get diluted away, like other pollutants it gets accumulated in the marine food chain, up to fish consumed by humans. Radioactive caesium in sea bass caught in the North Pacific continually rose from March till September, with a maximum found on 15 September of 670Bq/kg.

Radioactivity not only disperses passively in the ocean by currents and mixing, but is also spread by fish and mammals. The Pacific Bluefin tuna was found to transport Fukushima-derived radionuclides from Japan to California. Fifteen Pacific Bluefin tuna sampled in August 2011 had elevated levels of Cs- 134 (4.0 + 1.4 Bq/kg) and Cs-137 (6.3 + 1.5 Bq/kg).

Contamination of food and drinking water
Extensive contamination of food and drinking water was documented in the months after the disaster [27].

Outside the evacuation zone in Fukushima prefecture, MEXT survey one week after the earthquake found contaminated vegetables in the municipalities of Iitate, Kawamata, Tamua, Ono, Minamisoma, Iwaki, Tshukidate, Nihonmatsu, Sirakawa, Sukagawa, Ootama, Izumizaki and Saigou. I-131 concentrations were as high as 2.54 MBq/kg and Cs-137 up to 2.65 MBq/kg. One month after meltdown, radioactivity was still above 100,000 Bq/kg for I-131, and 900,000 Bq/kg for Cs-137 in some regions.

In Ibaraki prefecture ~100 km south of the Fukushima plant, spinach was found with I-131 up to 54,100 Bq/kg and Cs-137 up to 1,931 Bq/kg. Other highly contaminated vegetables included mustard, parsley, and poopake mushrooms, and lesser amounts of radiation were detected in lettuce, onions, tomatoes, strawberries, wheat and barley.

Milk, beef, rice and drinking water were also contaminated. The IAEA warned that levels of I-131 exceeded permissible limits between 17 and 23 March. Even in the northern district of Tokyo, tap water contained 210 Bq/l of I-131.

Seafood and fish caught close to the nuclear plant reached 500 – 1,000 Bq/kg. In April 2011, the Japanese Fishing Ministry found radioactive iodine and caesium in sand lance from Fukushima prefecture each with an activity up to 12,000 Bq/kg. The independent French radioactivity laboratory ACRO found readings of more than 10,000 Bq/kg in algae harvested outside the 20 km evacuation zone. One sample showed levels of 127,000 Bq/kg of I-131, 800 Bq/kg of Cs-134 and 840 Bq/kg of Cs-137.

In the prefecture of Shizuoka ~400 km from Fukushima, local tea leaves were found contaminated with 670 Bq/kg Cs-137, and radioactive Japanese green tea was discovered in France in June 2011.

Emerging health impacts[27]
Employees of the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant, rescue- and clean-up workers are the most acutely exposed group.

According to the Japanese Atomic Information Forum, radiation levels inside the plant peaked at around 1,000 mSi/h, a dose fatal to humans exposed for more than an hour. While airborne emissions decreased gradually, massive amounts of radiation still remained on site through wash-out in water continually pumped into the plant to cool the reactors.

By 1 August 2011, radiation of 10 Sv/h was still detected around the premises. A total of 8,300 workers have been deployed in rescue and clean-up since March. In July, TEPCO announced that 111 workers had been exposed to radiation of more than 100 mSv, some as high as 678 mSv. That did not take into account effects of internal radiation through ingested or inhaled radioisotopes.

An under-cover report broadcast on 4 October 2011 on German TV ZDF revealed radiation levels as high as 10 Sv/h, and new hotspots were still being discovered [30]. The exposure badges given to the workers routinely registered an error message as the radioactivity went way off-scale. The workers, paid €80-100 a day, were forbidden by contract to talk to reporters and given little information on the radiation levels in the plant. They only discovered that on TV. Some 18,000 workers had gone through the plant by then.

Following the nuclear meltdowns, the Japanese government ordered the evacuation of 200,000 people in an area of about 600 km2. As mentioned above, 70,000 people including 9,500 children were still living in highly contaminated areas outside this evacuation zone 2 months after the accident [15]. IAEA measured radiation levels 16-115 mSv/h (i.e., up to 140-1,007 mSv/y) outside the 20 km evacuation zone. MEXT scientists confirmed these levels in their soil surveys of April 2011.


Dose rates recorded in several cities outside the evacuation zone were 2 mSv/h in Nihonmatsu, Tamura, Souma, Minamisoma and Date; more than 5 mSv/h in Namie, and more than 100 mSv/h in Iitate.

Four months later in August 2011, MEXT scientists still detected radiation doses up to 34 mSv/h in Namie, up to 16 mSv/h in Iitate, and up to 17.5 mSv/h in Katsurao.


IRSN projected the external exposure of the 70,000 living in the highly contaminated areas outside the 20 km evacuation zone to reach 200 mSv/y or more in the first year [15]. The external collective dose over 4 years of this population was calculated to be 4,400 person-Sv, amounting to 60 % of the collective dose received by the population in the highly contaminated regions around Chernobyl.

MEXT’s calculations confirm those exposure levels. The estimated doses over the course of a year are up to 235.4 mSv in the town of Namie, 61.7 mSv in Iitate, 24.2 mSv in Kawamata, 21.2 mSv in Date, 18 mSv in Katsurao, 15.6 mSv in Minamisoma and more than 10 mSv in Fukushima city and Koriyama – both more than 55 km away from the plant.

The natural (pre-existing) background radiation level in Japan is 1.48 mSv/y.

These high external sources of exposure have been and will continue to be internalized in food and drink.

The devastating impacts of chronic exposure have been documented especially in the multiple diseases and deaths of hundreds of thousands of children as the result of the Chernobyl catastrophe, exacerbated by official denial, suppression, and disinformation [2].

I-131 is one of the most acute causes of cancer in children after a nuclear meltdown. Uptake of radioactive iodine can be prevented by a timely supply of iodine tablets. While such iodine tablets were supplied to the municipalities and evacuation centres during the first few days of the disaster, the order to distribute them was never issued, and hence, with very few exceptions, no iodine tablets were taken by people exposed to radioactive iodine [27]. The may lead to a large number of cases of thyroid cancer, as in the case of Chernobyl [2]. And the signs are ominous.

At the end of March 2011, a group of researchers around Hiroshima professor Satoshi Tashiro tested 1,149 children aged 0 to 15 from Iwaki city Kawamata town and Iitate village.
Some 44.5 % showed radioactive contamination of up to 35 mSv in their thyroid gland.

In October 2011, the University of Fukushima began with thyroid-examinations on 360,000 children living in the regions affected by radioactive contamination. Matsui Eisuke reported some of the results so far [16]. Between October 2011 and 31 March 2012, 38 114 children 1-18 y in Fukushima prefecture were examined by ultrasonography of the thyroid gland.


Cysts were found in more than 35 % of the children.


In comparison, in Nagaski where 250 children 7-14 y had been examined since 2000, only 2 (0.8 %) had cysts in their thyroid gland.

Chiwaki reports that today, centres for measuring levels of radioactivity in food are opening one after another all over Japan, and not just in Fukushima [7]. Parents have banded together to set up organic cafes to stock non-contaminated organic vegetables, and also to demand that school canteens use only uncontaminated ingredients.
 
“It is mainly thanks to independent networks that people have been able to go somewhere else temporarily to take care of their health.”


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/WSJ-radiation.jpg)


Evacuation from highly contaminated areas still refused
The government still refuses to evacuate people from the highly contaminated regions [7]. The city of Fukushima organized a planning meeting in the Ônami district that had been recommended for evacuation, and the opening words were:“Evacuation reduces economic activity, so we would opt for decontamination,” in other words, “We won’t let you leave.” The city has designated zones measuring >2 mSv/h for decontamination, and wanted volunteers; but when asked about their decontamination plans, said they have none. In February 2012, an estimated 62,000 people left Fukushima prefecture to seek refuge elsewhere.

In June 2011, pupils from 14 primary and secondary schools from the town of Kôriyama formally demanded that the local authority respect their right to be evacuated and to continue their education in a less contaminated area. But six months later, the demand has been refused.

“We have launched an appeal,” Chiwaki said. Refugees from the evacuation zones leave however they can, sometimes the whole family and sometimes the mother leaves with the children, and the husband stays behind to work and look after the house. Sharp divisions of opinion end in divorce and break up families.

“We have learnt lessons from the experience of Chernobyl and will never give up in our efforts to protect the lives of our children and everyone else. We ask the whole world to give us their support.”

Greetings Citizens of the World:

There is no question that the most under-reported disaster of our modern era has been the triple melt-throughs at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan that has been leaking hundreds of tons of highly-radioactive water 24/7/365 into the Pacific Ocean since 11 March 2011, over one-thousand fifty days as of 24 January 2014.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/fuku_is_our_problem_now.jpg)


The vast majority of planetary citizens are completely unaware of the devastating disaster unfolding right before our eyes because it is being hidden from the people by the very agencies designated to be our first line of defense - our "protectors", the EPA, NOAA, NRC, IAEA, NISC, JAPGOV, USGOV, etc.

As one expert remarked recently, "There is no protocol for what is happening now. They are making it up as they go."


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/radioactive_WorldwideAlert.png)


This sobering reality should be cause for great alarm all along the Northern Hemisphere (USA, Canada, Europe, Asia) should even one more major earthquake hit the Fukushima region. Should the plant sustain additional damage, and the #4 Spent Fuel Pool collapse, resulting in another zirconium fire (this time uncontrollable) and the subsequent radioactive fallout could prove catastrophic for Planet Earth.

By obfuscating the true dangers of the radiation blanketing the U.S. West Coast and the rest of North America and withholding life-saving Potassium Iodide pills from the American public in those critical early days of the disaster, the unconscionable miscreants at the EPA, NOAA, NRC, IAEA, NISA, USGOV, and the mainstream media are complicit in a worldwide cover-up and have committed premeditated murder and should be held accountable.

And then, there is this...who got to David?

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/david-suzuki.jpg)
Peter J. Thompson/National Post/Files
“I can’t believe he would say that. When he’s in his own field, he’s usually reasonable. But this is just crazy,” one professor said of David Suzuki's comments about another Fukushima nuclear disaster.


David Suzuki ‘regrets’ claim that another Fukushima disaster would require mass evacuations in North America | National Post (http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/01/20/david-suzuki-regrets-claim-that-another-fukushima-disaster-would-require-mass-evacuations-in-north-america/)

Quote
Three months after making the wildly overblown claim that a second nuclear emergency at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant would require the evacuation of the North American West Coast, environmentalist David Suzuki said he “regrets” the comments.

Wildly overblown?

Not by a long shot if one truly understands what is at stake here.

Quote
Nevertheless, the Nature of Things host did not seem to go so far as to renege the claim, which has baffled nuclear scientists.

“I regret having said it, although my sense of potential widespread disaster remains and the need for an urgent international response to dealing with the spent rods at Fukushima remains,” wrote Mr. Suzuki in an email to The Province (http://www.theprovince.com/news/safe+sushi+Answers+your+questions+about+Fukushima+radiation/9401912/story.html), which was compiling a feature on myths surrounding the 2011 Japanese tsunami.

He also said that it was “an off-the-cuff response.”

The comment first arose when Mr. Suzuki was speaking at an October 30 event on public water policy at the University of Alberta. At one point, Mr. Suzuki began discussing the tsunami-damaged Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, in particular the spent fuel rods housed at the plant’s explosion-damaged Reactor Number 4.

“I have seen a paper saying that if, in fact, the fourth plant goes in an earthquake … it’s ‘bye-bye Japan’ and everybody on the West Coast of North America should evacuate,” Mr. Suzuki is seen to say in a video of the event captured by Alberta artist Aaron Paquette.

“If that isn’t terrifying then I don’t know what is,” he added.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Fukushima-Daiichi-Sept-2013-640.jpg) (http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Fukushima-Daiichi-Sept-2013-FULL.jpg)

The tsunami-crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Fukushima prefecture, in this December, 2013, aerial view photo.

In Canada and the United States alone, there are roughly 50 million people living in relatively close proximity to the Pacific Ocean. By definition, any wholesale evacuation of North American West Coast settlements would rank among the largest mass-movements of humans in history.

And presumably, if there was a need to empty settlements that are more than 8,000 kilometers away from the Fukushima plant, this hypothetical evacuation order would also seem to apply to Eastern Russia, Northern Australia and most of South Asia.

In short, a significant chunk of the world’s humanity would need to suddenly begin a retreat from the radioactive plume.

Luckily, Mr. Suzuki’s near-apocalyptic claim does not appear to have much scientific bearing. For starters, the “paper” Mr. Suzuki mentions is the 2013 World Nuclear Industry Status Report.

The paper makes no mention of any emptying of the North American coastline, but the 140-page document does mention evacuation in a brief passage citing the “worst case scenario” that would unfold in the event of the collapse of Unit 4.

Drawn up in the midst of the initial Fukishima disaster by the Japan Atomic Energy Commission, the scenario calls for the “evacuation of over 10 million residents in the wider Tokyo megalopolis within a 250-km radius of Fukushima Daiichi.”

No mention is made of any evacuation taking place outside Japanese borders.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Fukushima_road_sign~0.png)

What a bunch of carp.

"Drawn up in the midst of the initial Fukishima disaster..."

That was before 1,050 days of 24/7/365 nuclear particulates spewing from triple melt-throughs...erroneously referred to as 'meltdowns'. The corium has left what's left of the buildings.   :P

And dare we mention the 400 tons of highly-radioactive Strontium and Caesium-laced water 'escaping' into the Pacific Ocean every day for 1,050 days?

That's almost as ridiculous as the "cold shutdown has been achieved at all reactors":  BS from TEPCO, JapGov, IAEA, JAEC.   :P

Fukushima is tragic proof governments will choose denying catastrophic reality over mass panic any day.

Don't forget, investigative journalism is now illegal in Japan as of December 2013.

The Horrible Truth About Fukushima -- Helen Caldicott, MD
Published on Feb 9, 2014

Author and Pediatrician Helen Caldicott takes time out of her busy schedule to join me to discuss the unfolding events at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station in Japan. Fukushima was devastated by a massive earthquake on March 11, 2011 which led directly to a massive failure causing hydrogen explosions which blew the roof off of at least two of the reactor buildings.

Tepco and the Japanese government have understated the radiation dangers and the dire reality of the situation from day one.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/SheepleMag_Oct_2013_Fukushima.jpg)


Helen says,

at this point there is no "best case scenario" for Fukushima,
just worsening degrees of horror because it's scientifically
impossible to clean up what has already occurred.

And with thousands of spent fuel rods and thousands more active rods still in the fuel pools of the damaged reactor buildings, the worst case scenario - if another major earthquake hits the area - is an ecological nightmare of biblical proportions for everyone living in the Northern hemisphere.

Are you one of them?


The USGOV/NRC is quick to bandy about the ‘104’ reactors number to instill in the American psyche that the proffered map of those reactors is the end of it.

This is hardly all of the ill-fated truth. One of these nukes may be in a neighborhood near you.

How much do you really know about the number and locations of these death-dealing monstrosities?

How many people live near a nuclear power plant in the USA? | ZEIT ONLINE (http://opendata.zeit.de/nuclear-reactors-usa/#/en/)

Sixty-five (65) commercial nuclear power plants (with 104 reactors) are currently in operation in the United States. After radioactive material escaped from Japan’s Fukushima power plant, everyone within 30 kilometres (18 miles) of the doomed plant was evacuated.

Our map shows how many people live close to US nuclear power plants who would have to be evacuated in a similar situation. We have also included three Canadian nuclear power plants that are dangerously close on our Northern border.

ML-1, first closed cycle gas turbine. Initial criticality March 30, 1961. Designed for 300 kW, but only achieved 140 kW. Operated for only a few hundred hours of testing. The ML-1 was designed by Aerojet General Corporation to test an integrated reactor package that was transportable by military semi-trailers, railroad flatcars, and barges. This reactor was shut down in 1965.

Key to the codes:
   =   First letter: S - stationary, M - mobile, P - portable.
   =   Second letter: H - high power, M - medium power, L - low power.
   =   Digit: Sequence number.
   =   Third letter: A indicates field installation.



It might be worth noting here that just the U.S. Nuclear Fleet generates in excess of 10,000 tons of high-level radioactive spent fuel per year.

Do the math and then ask this: how is this deadly material transported to where it’s being stored - which brings us to the next logical conclusion:

It is sheer insanity to keep generating this deadly
radioactive waste with no long-term safe storage plan.

Has anyone been counting?

How many does that add up to?

Whatever the total number of these ‘deadly neighbor forever’ nuclear facilities adds up to, it’s way too many.

Our friend, Ken, ModernSurvivalBlog (http://modernsurvivalblog.com/), nails the ‘what if’ scenario quite succinctly less than two weeks after the (ongoing) Fukushima disaster/fiasco changed the world forever.


March 24, 2011

"What if a Carrington Event (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_storm_of_1859) solar flare were to occur, like what had happened in 1859?

Astrophysicists know that it WILL happen again, it’s just a matter of when. If an extreme solar event like that were to take down the electrical power grid, and-or damage electronic systems from its EMP effects, how long would it be before any, some, most, or all of these nuclear power plants would runaway to meltdown?

What if a true EMP weapon, or weapons, were to detonate and take down all electrical systems of a region, or wider, what then?

Are the backup generators and their associated electrical control systems impervious to EMP-type effects for example?

What about the control systems of the reactors themselves, are they EMP-proof?

What if the New Madrid fault zone were to unleash a magnitude 9+ earthquake, which geologists agree is possible, then how would the nuclear plants avoid catastrophe at the reactors in northern Arkansas, eastern Missouri, or others nearby?

What if the San Andreas tears loose in California, how will Diablo Canyon and San Onofre handle it?

What if there is an unforeseen ‘physical’ attack on one of these reactors?

What can the containment vessels withstand with regards to missiles of various strengths?

What if there is a cyber ‘virus’ attack along the lines of the Stuxnet computer virus that attacked the Iranian nuclear development facilities?


These simple questions led me to create a map of all U.S. nuclear reactors, both operational and decommissioned, so to have a look see where the danger zones ‘might’ be, should a worst-case-scenario occur.

It is difficult to impossible to answer the question, “How far away is a safe distance from a nuclear reactor?”, so I’ve created 100 mile radius zones (200 mile diameter) around each nuclear plant to provide some visual perspective. Yellow zones are around decommissioned plants.

Remember, it’s all about the wind direction too. The prevailing winds in the US are typically from west to east while normally dipping down into the south-central U.S. before bending back up the east coast.

Looking at the map density of the circle zones, I’m glad I’m out West."



"The federal government recently sponsored a detailed scientific study to better understand how much critical components of our national electrical power grid might be affected by either a naturally occurring GMD or a man-made EMP."

"Under the auspices of the EMP Commission and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and reviewed in depth by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Academy of Sciences, Metatech Corporation undertook extensive modeling and analysis of the potential effects of extreme geomagnetic storms on the US electrical power grid.

Based upon a storm as intense as the 1921 storm, Metatech estimated that within the United States, induced voltage and current spikes, combined with harmonic anomalies, would severely damage or destroy over 350 EHV power transformers critical to the functioning of the US grid and possibly impact well over 2000 EHV transformers worldwide."


Listen up, people, this is where the rubber meets the road.


EHV transformers are made-to-order and custom-designed for each installation, each weighing as much as 300 tons and costing well over $1 million.

"Given that there is currently a three-year waiting list for a single EHV transformer (due to recent demand from China and India, lead times grew from one to three years), and that the total global manufacturing capacity is roughly 100 EHV transformers per year when the world's manufacturing centers are functioning properly, you can begin to grasp the implications of widespread transformer losses."

— Report of the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack (http://empcommission.org/docs/A2473-EMP_Commission-7MB.pdf)


What do extended grid blackouts have to do with potential nuclear catastrophes?

Nuclear power plants are designed to disconnect automatically from the grid in the event of a local power failure or major grid anomaly; once disconnected, they begin the process of shutting down the reactor's core.

In the event of the loss of coolant flow to an active nuclear reactor's core, the reactor will start to melt down and fail catastrophically within a matter of a few hours, at most.

In an extreme GMD,
nearly every reactor in the world
could be affected.


How many people live near a nuclear power plant in the USA? (http://opendata.zeit.de/nuclear-reactors-usa/#/en/)

"Licensing a nuclear power plant is in my view, licensing random premeditated murder. First of all, when you license a plant, you know what you're doing--so it's premeditated. You can't say, "I didn't know." Second, the evidence on radiation-producing cancer is beyond doubt. I've worked fifteen years on it [as of 1982], and so have many others. It is not a question any more: radiation produces cancer, and the evidence is good all the way down to the lowest doses." (http://www.ratical.org/radiation/CNR/RIC/contentsF.html#section5)

“would destroy the world environment and our civilization.
This is not rocket science, nor does it connect

During the three long and frightening years since the triple meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi, the world has heard less and less about this manmade disaster, as it continues to spew death into the atmosphere and Pacific Ocean.

The world's largest, provable cover-up is indicated in the NRC FOIA documents.

Some of the agencies/figureheads implicated are: NRC, DOE, EPA, CDC, NOAA, USAID, DOD (Navy, Naval reactors), White House, President Obama, David McIntyre, Eliot Brenner ("While we know more than what we say, we're sticking to this story for now."), Bechtel, General Electric, IAEA,INPO, NEI and many others in an orchestrated attempt to downplay and conceal the radioactive plume and fallout from Americans.

Money, power, and engineering hubris were put ahead of the lives and health of the people of Japan and the northern hemisphere as radiation releases continue to leave the site and migrate into the environment. There is evidence of subversion of the Freedom of Information Act by the NRC, and yet, virtually no one interviewed for this article was aware of the severity of the situation.

The Nuclear Industrial Complex, in collusion with the world governments and the mainstream media have managed - quite successfully - to bury the world's largest provable cover-up: the unending nightmare of the triple melt-throughs at Fukushima. Virtually nary a word on mainstream media (http://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com/2013/08/30/why-fukushima-is-worse-than-you-think/) regarding Fukushima on the Third Anniversary of this calamity.   

(We did manage to post comments and links on CNN's Fukushima report (http://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com/2013/08/30/why-fukushima-is-worse-than-you-think/).)    :P

The ongoing nuclear radiation catastrophe following the March 11, 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami has many disturbing false flag characteristics in common with the BP-Gulf crisis (including many of the same players), but that's another story.

Jim Stone (http://www.jimstonefreelance.com/environmental_terror.html) has a really interesting read on the subject of Fukushima - a real 'who-dun-it'.   :P


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/JimStone_gun_camera.png)



For those who may have missed these headlines:


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/FUKU_Northern_Hemisphere_Science_Daily.png)



To put this in the proper perspective:


Chernobyl: 10 days and buried in concrete (now failing).

Fukushima: 1,102 days and counting...do the math.   :P


Contrary to mainstream media reports (what little there may be), Fukushima may wind up being more than a 100 to a 1,000 times worse than Chernobyl -- and will likely cause horrifying health problems for many Americans as well as Japanese.

Many experts claim that Fukushima has released the equivalent of over a hundred Chernobyls worth of radiation into the atmosphere. They also claim that in the 25 years following Chernobyl, radiation spread across Europe led to the "soft kill" early deaths of over a million people.


The cumulative effects of Fukushima fallout, to include radioactive isotopes that get into American food and drinking water, may lead to the early "soft-kill" deaths of tens of millions of Americans through myriad diseases and ailments stimulated by accumulated radiation poisoning.


Yet the Obama administration has done absolutely nothing to warn Americans to stay indoors when it rains or snows (when most of the radiation comes down), acquire radiation measuring devices, or to show even the most minimal care about what they eat and drink.



(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/food-radiation.jpg)


Seattle and other West Coast residents were not even informed that in April they were breathing in average of five hot particles a day (http://www.nuc.berkeley.edu/node/4503) compared to residents of Tokyo, who were breathing ten.

"Hot particles" consist of plutonium and uranium isotopes which are extremely toxic and dramatically increase the chances of cancer once they get embedded in lungs and other body tissues.

Quote
Hot particles are small, highly radioactive, and contain large amounts of radionuclides. They present significant health hazard when they enter the human body and are several orders of magnitude more dangerous than the same amount of radiation emitted from a large source over the whole body because if ingested or inhaled, they do damage to cells at close proximity, according to the Journal of Radiological Protection (http://iopscience.iop.org/0952-4746/27/3A/S11).


Quote
Some experts claim that Fukushima (http://www.jimstonefreelance.com/containment.jpg) will ultimately release from 100 to a 1,000 times more radiation than Chernobyl (http://voiceofrussia.com/2013_12_25/Fukushima-is-worse-than-Chernobyl-radiation-affects-fish-World-Oceans-West-Coast-experts-1125/), which "soft-killed" over a million people in Europe in the twenty five years following Chernobyl's 1986 melt-down with premature deaths related to cancer and other ailments.

(The Academy Award-winning 2003 documentary Chernobyl Heart (http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/chernobyl-heart/) claims that 9 million lives have been ruined, half of them involving children under age 5).

A substantial portion of Fukushima radiation is being continually carried over North America with eastward flowing jet streams, and is being continually rained down on major civilian populations and their drinking water reservoirs and agricultural areas.

California has been toast since the first plumes reached North America on 14 March 2011.

No one knows yet how long Fukushima nuclear materials will continue to fission and contaminate the air, ground, and ocean. It may not be far-fetched to assume that every month that goes by, as many as one million additional Americans gets "tagged" for premature death by this colorless, odorless, and tasteless threat.

Yet the US, Canadian, and Japanese governments and mainstream media maintain their cover-ups and silence.

They do not even warn Americans to stay out of the rain.

Quote
American supporters of Israel were delighted to learn that an Israeli company, Magal Security Systems (http://www.magal-s3.com/), owned in part by the government of Israel, is in charge of security for the most sensitive nuclear power and weapons storage facilities in the United States.

The largest perimeter security company in the world, Magal started out as a division of Israeli Aircraft Industries (IAI), which was owned in part by the government of Israel. In recent years, however, Magal evolved into a publicly traded company, although IAI (and thus the government of Israel) still holds a substantial share in the highly successful firm.

What this means is that the government of Israel will have control over the security of America’s nuclear weapons.
...
Magal’s global interests are broad. Having secured 90 percent of Israel’s borders through a wide array of “space age” technology, Magal has now branched out internationally. Not only does Magal provide security for American nuclear facilities, but it also patrols most major nuclear facilities in Western Europe and Asia.

The Israeli firm guards Chicago’s O’Hare Airport and, for the last 15 years, has kept watch on the queen of England’s famed Buckingham Palace in London. And Magal safeguards 90 percent of the American prisons that utilize electronic systems.
...
All told, the Israeli company holds a 40 percent share in the worldwide market in perimeter intrusion detection systems and is working to expand its business in the protection of oil pipelines.??Magal is also said to be interested in guarding water lines around the globe, particularly in the United States.

In fact, Magal may have an inside shot at getting a monopoly in guarding America’s water supplies.


You were warned.

"Forecast does not show actual levels of radiation."

Right. The CNTBO forecast does not show actual levels of radiation. The forecast shows the deadly radioactive particle dispersion from the triple melt-throughs at Fukushima (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disaster) blanketing North America thanks to the Jet Stream.

The real question remains: how much radiation is affecting every living thing on the planet, as the Jet Stream continues this worldwide dispersion each and every day?


This catastrophe is the
world’s worst industrial disaster.


Decommissioning and dismantling the reactors will take decades and complete cleanup is at least a century away ~ if ever.

The music’s over for the nuclear industry (http://www.thelivingmoon.com/forum/index.php?topic=1574.0). Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima have savaged the myth of "too cheap to meter" and safe power, and the utilities are now forced to become de facto spent nuclear fuel storage sites, perhaps forever, as there is no permanent storage facility even being considered at this time after the Yucca Mountain $9 Billion debacle.

Hanford takes this fiasco a step further by implicating the military in nuclear skullduggery with the knowledge recently coming to light that hundreds of Navy reactors have been dumped at Hanford along with the contaminated equipment removed from the USS Ronald Reagan after the Fukushima contamination.

Despite its bloated defense budget, the Pentagon is misappropriating the fiscal resources of the DOE, which must dispose of nuclear-contaminated military hardware. Funds that could otherwise be allocated to replacing the storage tanks at Hanford are being spent on burying submarine reactors. It appears Hanford, along with the WIPP, have become 'substitute Yucca Mountains.'

Anybody want to hazard a guess as to where the 10,000 tons (annually) of high-level radioactive spent fuel from Navy nuclear assets are currently stored?

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is facing a radioactive mess of waste, fraud and mismanagement at every level. Could it be that an end to nuclear tyranny is directly linked to the revival of genuine democracy?

Liberty and Equality, or Revolution.


A deadly sinister and cynical force within America’s political establishment, economic elite and scientific elect is desperately trying to prevent Americans from recovering this nation’s foundational values of civic duty, ethical responsibility and common sense.

This travesty must be understood as to the possible ELE implications and dealt with immediately.

Unfortunately government cover-ups, intelligence agency sabotage, nuclear industry greed, national media suppression, and malevolent special interest group agendas continue to aggravate existing problems and create new ones rather than provide solutions. If permitted to continue unabated, the ultimate end game is a dead planet.

The burden therefore falls on the shoulders of grass roots citizen activism to overcome these continuing nuclear crises. EARTH AID - The Concert to Save All Life On Earth (http://www.thelivingmoon.com/forum/index.php?topic=1405.0) is dedicated to the creation of an interactive worldwide multi-media event to raise awareness about the challenges and solutions associated with nuclear energy.

Expect us, as we are you.

In this film Fairewinds Energy Education’s Arnie Gundersen gives an update on the state of Fukushima Daiichi three years later.
Fairewinds Energy Education (http://fairewinds.org/media/fairewinds-videos/nuclear-power-profits-risks)

Arnie Gundersen, Fairewinds chief engineer (at 0:45 in):

Is most of the cleanup complete?
Are the people of Japan, especially the children, OK?
Are the Japanese evacuees returning home?
And, are the oceans OK?

Sadly the answers are no.



(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/arnie_SHHHHHH.jpg)

Gundersen (at 5:15 in): The aftermath of this catastrophe remains as hazardous as ever. The power plant site itself, entire sections of the surrounding Fukushima Prefecture and the Pacific Ocean are contaminated in ways that humans never imagined, so no method of mitigation exists. The Fukushima catastrophe will continue to be life-threatening and continue to cause extreme hardship for Tepco employees and cleanup workers, the former Fukushima residents, who and the Pacific ocean — its habitats and its on the ecosystem […]

The reactors continue to release the radioactive remnants from the molten cores into the surrounding groundwater that’s migrating off site. [...]

Tokyo Electric appears to have little control over the deteriorating environment, and it behaves like the victim, rather than the perpetrator of the greatest industrial mishap of all time.


What will the future bring?
   
The Fukushima Daiichi site will continue to
bleed radiation into the Pacific Ocean for 100 years.

As contaminated water beneath the site slowly evolves into a radioactive lake. […]

Most likely the cleanup of the entire site is at least a century away, if ever.

How has this calamity evolved into such a worldwide catastrophe?

It happened because the Japanese government
chose to protect Tepco, its financial interest
and the goals of the nuclear power industry.

Nuclear matters (http://www.homelandsecuritynewswire.com/melt-through-fukushima-nuclear-plant)
"Melt-through" at Fukushima nuclear plant
Published 9 June 2011

Japan has admitted that molten nuclear fuel in three reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant has burned through pressure vessels, not just the reactors’ cores — creating a “melt-through,” which is a more serious problem than a melt-down.

This is what Jack Lemon was worried about in The China Syndrome: Molten nuclear fuel in three reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant has burned through pressure vessels, not just the reactors’ cores, a new Japanese report said.

The report also said Japan was unprepared for an accident of the severity of Fukushima. The Guardian reports (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/jun/08/fukushima-nuclear-plant-melt-through) that is the first time Japanese authorities have conceded that there was a possibility that the fuel suffered “melt-through” — a more serious problem than a core meltdown.

Seattle Weekly (http://www.seattleweekly.com/), Mar. 11, 2014: “The 3/11 snowfall was the beginning of Japan’s nuclear winter.”
Seattleland: Sailors’ Fukushima Lawsuit Seeks $1 Billion for Healthcare

By Rick Anderson Tue., Mar 11 2014 at 05:09PM

It’s no great surprise that the Pentagon does not believe that its Marines and sailors—many of them from Seattleland—were hit with life-threatening illness after pitching in to help the Japanese three years ago this week. That was March 11, 2011, the day that put the fuk in Fukushima.

This is, after all, the Pentagon that experiments on its troops with drugs and vaccines, tested mustard gas on soldiers and nerve gas on sailors, and denied the existence of Agent Orange and Gulf War Illness even as the bodies stacked up.

So when the Navy insists the sailors aboard the USS Ronald Reagan were not at risk and that all necessary precautions were taken, you have to look to history, and then to the odd-tasting snow that fell on the Reagan’s 1,000-foot flight deck that day off the east coast of Japan.

Some of the super-carrier’s crew remember the flakes leaving a metallic taste on their lips. Navy chopper crews, setting down from rescue and supply missions to aid Japanese stranded by the devastating earthquake, tsunami, and meltdown of the Fukushima nuclear power plant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disaster), also complained of sensing metal in their saliva.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/USS_Reagan_swabbing_deck.jpeg)


It was similar to the metallic taste experienced by the crew of the Enola Gay 66 years earlier when their B-29 bomber flew over the radioactive cloud they created by dropping the first atomic bomb on Japan. With a major difference.

The Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs released an estimated one million curies of radiation that led to widespread illness and deaths, many related to thyroid disease and leukemia. But the human exposure to the Fukushima meltdown is being compared to the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster that released as many as 50 million curies. (In 10 days, not 1,102!) Chernobyl is predicted to eventually result in tens if not hundreds of thousands of early deaths.

The 3/11 snowfall was the beginning of Japan’s nuclear winter. And the radioactive iodine taste in their mouths was the Reagan crew’s first lesson about radiation. They next learned over the ship’s loudspeaker that they were not to drink or bathe in the ship’s contaminated desalinated sea water.

Then they found out their carrier was so hot that that South Korea, Guam, and even Japan barred it from entering their ports.

After returning to its home base in San Diego, the nuclear-powered carrier sailed on to Puget Sound the following January, 2012, for a scheduled 14-month overhaul at the Bremerton Navy yard. There is a report (http://www.rense.com/general96/hanford.html), citing shipyard workers, that carrier hardware contaminated by the Fukushima exposure was taken away on rail and buried on the Hanford Nuclear reservation.

Sailors and Marines began to complain of unexplained cancers, thyroid problems, excessive bleeding, and a litany of other ailments they feel are related to the exposure, estimating that the ship came within five miles of the Japan coast. One sailor’s baby was born with multiple deformations seven months after Fukushima.

No one seemed to be listening to servicemen such as Petty Officer 3rd Class Daniel Hair, who told Stars and Stripes (http://www.stripes.com/in-growing-lawsuit-servicemembers-fault-tepco-for-radiation-related-illnesses-1.230512) about his pain, memory loss, ringing in the ears, and an immune-system disease so severe he was separated from a Navy job he loved. Fuk-ed over, he said, “I went from this guy in top physical condition to a deteriorating body and a whacked-out mind-set.”


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/ufuked~1.jpg)


But he and 80 other crew members now have a voice in federal court. “We represent a number of sailors from Everett and also from Bellevue,” says their mouthpiece, Paul Garner, who, with co-counsel Charles Bonner, is an attorney based in Sausalito, Calif. Last month they filed a lawsuit for damages against the allegedly negligent power-plant operator.

They seek to establish a $1 billion healthcare fund for affected service members.
...
In addition to the suit, Congress has now asked the Pentagon to review the exposure and report back next month. Meanwhile, the Navy’s denials of harm are being knocked down. One new study of 3/11’s effects, reported in The Asia-Pacific Journal (http://japanfocus.org/-Kyle-Cleveland/4075), pegs radiation levels aboard the carrier at 30 times (3,000 %) above normal.

The report includes a transcript of a telephone conversation with a U.S. Energy Department administrator—the guy in charge of Navy reactors—who describes the Reagan’s radiation level as “much greater than what we had thought.” Some sailors, he tells another official, could have suffered irreversible harm within hours: “It’s a thyroid dose issue...”

"Hours." Not days, months or years.   :P

Fukushima Radiation Dispersal Area 1/2-Steven Starr 3July2013 - YouTube
 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cymZx7DeMMA)

Published on Jul 3, 2013

Steven Starr is the Director of the Clinical Laboratory Science Program at the University of Missouri and is an Associate member of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and has been published by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. His writings appear on the websites of PSR, the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology Center for Arms Control, Energy and Environmental Studies, Scientists for Global Responsibility, and the International Network of Scientists Against Proliferation.

Since 2007, he has worked with the governments of Switzerland, Chile, and New Zealand, in support of their efforts at the United Nations to eliminate thousands of high-alert, launch-ready nuclear weapons.??Mr. Starr is also an expert on the environmental consequences of nuclear war, and in 2011, he made an address to the U.N. General Assembly describing the dangers that nuclear weapons and nuclear war poses to all nations and peoples.

The Commons Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee chairman Anne McIntosh described the scale of the contamination in the food chain as "breathtaking" and warned that restoring consumer confidence would take time and money.

The Government has a role to secure the correct balance between affordable food prices and effective regulations that require transparency and quality.

The consumer cannot be left to face a Catch 22 where they can either pay for food that complies with the highest standards of traceability, labelling and testing or accept that they cannot trust the provenance and composition of the foods they eat.......So thats all right then?

http://www.itv.com/news/topic/food-standards-agency/


BLUEFIN TUNA: A RECENT ARTICLE: Every bluefin tuna tested in the waters off California has shown to be contaminated with radiation that originated in Fukushima. Every single one.??

Over a year ago, in May of 2012, the Wall Street Journal reported on a Stanford University study. Daniel Madigan, a marine ecologist who led the study, was quoted as saying, "The tuna packaged it up (the radiation) and brought it across the world's largest ocean. We were definitely surprised to see it at all and even more surprised to see it in every one we measured."

Another member of the study group, Marine biologist Nicholas Fisher at Stony Brook University in New York State reported, "We found that absolutely every one of them had comparable concentrations of cesium 134 and cesium 137."

That was over a year ago. The fish that were tested had relatively little exposure to the radioactive waste being dumped into the ocean following the nuclear melt-through that occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in March of 2011.

Since that time, the flow of radioactive contaminants dumping into the ocean has continued unabated. Fish arriving at this juncture have been swimming in contaminants for all of their lives.

Radioactive cesium doesn't sink to the sea floor, so fish swim through it and ingest it through their gills or by eating organisms that have already ingested it. It is a compound that does occur naturally in nature, however, the levels of cesium found in the tuna in 2012 had levels 3 percent higher than is usual. Measurements for this year haven't been made available, or at least none that I have been able to find. I went looking for the effects of ingesting cesium.

This is what I found:??When contact with radioactive cesium occurs, which is highly unlikely, a person can experience cell damage due to radiation of the cesium particles. Due to this, effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and bleeding may occur. When the exposure lasts a long time, people may even lose consciousness. Coma or even death may then follow. How serious the effects are depends upon the resistance of individual persons and the duration of exposure and the concentration a person is exposed to.

The half life of cesium 134 is 2.0652 years. For cesium 137, the half life is 30.17 years.??The Fukushima disaster is an ongoing battle with no signs that humans are gaining the upper hand.

The only good news to come out of Japan has later been proven to be false and was nothing more than attempts by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) to mislead the public and lull them into a sense of security while the company searched vainly for ways to contain the accident.

This incident makes Three Mile Island and Chernobyl pale in comparison.

Those were nuclear meltdowns.

A nuclear melt-through poses a much more serious problem and is one that modern technology doesn't have the tools to address. Two and a half years later and the contaminants are still flowing into the ocean and will continue to for the foreseeable future.??As for me, fish is off the menu.

Actually, 1,109 days as of 24 March 2014.

Thor...as always you do a magnificent job of informing with much detail.  It is really and shame that the mainstream media does not even keep the people updated.  I think Fukushima has far surpassed Chernobyl and the Japanese people are the ones that initially suffered and now the rest of the world is getting dosed.

I have hollered on social media sites and for the most part I hear crickets.  It saddens me.

Govt.'s new plan for Fukushima waste storage sites -NHK WORLD (http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/news/20140327_31.html)

27 March 2014

Japan's government has shown Fukushima officials a new plan to build interim storage facilities for contaminated soil and other radioactive waste.

The plan calls for reducing the number of towns to host the facilities in Fukushima Prefecture from 3 to 2, following demands by local governments. Environment Minister Nobuteru Ishihara and Reconstruction Minister Takumi Nemoto visited the prefectural government office on Thursday.

The ministers handed the plan to Fukushima Governor Yuhei Sato and representatives from 8 municipalities, and asked them to accept it. The plan was revised after Fukushima officials demanded changes last month.

The facilities will store soil and other waste from cleanup work in areas contaminated by the Fukushima nuclear accident in March 2011. They are to be used until final disposal sites are ready.

The government originally planned to build the facilities in 3 towns near the plant -- Futaba, Okuma and Naraha.

The revised plan dropped Naraha because radiation levels there are lower and evacuees hope to return to their homes as soon as possible.

The plan calls instead for building a facility in Naraha to solidify ash from incinerating debris.

The government says it will purchase land plots for the interim facilities. But local governments favor renting the plots from their owners. Government officials say they will explain their plans in detail to residents of Futaba and Okuma. But the residents are concerned because they have not been offered programs to help rebuild their lives and revitalize the local economy.

The focus now shifts to whether the government can develop convincing programs as well as acceptable prices for land purchases.

Error suspected in spent fuel removal trouble -NHK WORLD (http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/news/20140328_02.html)

27 March 2014 (http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20110311T1446&p0=2155)

The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant says human error was most likely the cause of a problem that halted spent fuel removal at one of the crippled reactors. Tokyo Electric Power Company has been transferring hundreds of spent and unused fuel assemblies from a pool in the damaged No. 4 reactor building to a safer facility in the site.

But on Wednesday, a crane used to hoist a cask containing fuel assemblies from the pool suddenly stopped, halting work.

TEPCO officials say a worker mistakenly tried to operate the crane with an auxiliary brake on. Noticing the error, he released the brake and retried, but the crane failed to operate once the warning lamp had gone on.

The officials say the worker's error led to excess current to the crane's motor, which automatically locked operation. The problem didn't damage the crane or its motor.

They say they will soon resume fuel transfer operations, taking preventive measures including rechecking the work process. In November last year, TEPCO started operations to remove more than 1,500 spent and unused fuel assemblies from the pool in the crippled No.4 reactor building.

As of Tuesday 550 assemblies had been removed.


1,535 - 550 = 1,485 to go.   :P

The Three Mile Island nuclear power generating station shown here in 2011 in Middletown, Pa., continues to generate electric power with the Unit 1 reactor.

The Nuclear Omnicide (http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/the_nuclear_omnicide_20140401)
by Harvey Wasserman

In the 35 years since the March 28, 1979, explosion and meltdown at Three Mile Island, fierce debate has raged over whether humans were killed there.

In 1986 and 2011, Chernobyl and Fukushima joined the argument. Whenever these disasters happen, there are those who claim that the workers, residents and military personnel (http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/the_uss_reagan_is_fukushimas_unlucky_dragon_20140304) exposed to radiation will be just fine.


Of course we know better.

We humans won’t jump into a pot of boiling water. We’re not happy when members of our species start dying around us.

But frightening new scientific findings have forced us to look at a larger reality: the bottom-up damage that radioactive fallout may do to the entire global ecosystem.

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/frog_in_pot-500.png)


When it comes to our broader support systems, the corporate energy industry counts on us to tolerate the irradiation of our fellow creatures, those on whom we depend, and for us to sleep through the point of no return.

Case in point is a new Smithsonian report on Chernobyl (http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/forests-around-chernobyl-arent-decaying-properly-180950075/?no-ist), one of the most terrifying documents of the atomic age.

Written by Rachel Nuwer, “Forests Around Chernobyl Aren’t Decaying Properly” cites recent field studies (http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00442-014-2908-8) in which the normal cycle of dead vegetation rotting into the soil has been disrupted by the exploded reactor’s radioactive fallout.
 
“Decomposers—organisms such as microbes, fungi and some types of insects that drive the process of decay—have also suffered from the contamination,” Nuwer writes. “These creatures are responsible for an essential component of any ecosystem: recycling organic matter back into the soil.”

Put simply: The microorganisms that form the active core of our ecological bio-cycle have apparently been zapped, leaving tree trunks, leaves, ferns and other vegetation to sit eerily on the ground whole, essentially in a mummified state.

Reports also indicate a significant shrinkage of the brains of birds (http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_9387000/9387395.stm) in the region and negative impacts on the insect and wildlife populations.

Similar findings surrounded the accident at Three Mile Island. Within a year, a three-reporter team from the Baltimore News-American cataloged massive radiation impacts on both wild and farm animals in the area.

The reporters and the Pennsylvania Department of Health confirmed widespread damage (http://www.ratical.org/radiation/KillingOurOwn/) to birds, bees and large kept animals such as horses, whose reproductive rate collapsed in the year after the accident.

Other reports also documented deformed vegetation and domestic animals being born with major mutations, including a dog born with no eyes and cats with no sense of balance.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/three-mile-island-640.jpg) (http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/three-mile-island-FULL.jpeg)


To this day, Three Mile Island’s owners claim no humans were killed by radiation there, an assertion hotly disputed by local downwinders.

Indeed, Dr. Alice Stewart established in 1956 that a single X-ray to a pregnant woman (http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/bhm/summary/v075/75.1more.html) doubles the chance that her offspring will get leukemia. During the accident at Three Mile Island, the owners crowed that the meltdown’s radiation was equivalent “only” to a single X-ray administered to all area residents.

Meanwhile, if the airborne fallout from Three Mile Island and Chernobyl could do that kind of damage to both infants and the nonhuman population on land, how is Fukushima’s continuous gusher of radioactive water affecting the life support systems of our oceans?


One-thousand One Hundred Seventeen
- 1,117 - days as of 01 April 2014.


In fact, samplings of 15 tuna caught off the coast of California indicate all were contaminated with fallout (http://samuel-warde.com/2013/08/radioactive-bluefin-tuna-caught-off-california-coast/) from Fukushima.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/All_Tuna_border~0.png)


Instant as always, the industry deems such levels harmless. The obligatory comparisons to living in Denver, flying cross country and eating bananas automatically follow.

But what’s that radiation doing to the tuna themselves? And to the krill, the phytoplankton, the algae, amoeba and all the other microorganisms on which the ocean ecology depends?

Cesium and its Fukushima siblings are already measurable (http://www.enviroreporter.com/2014/03/fukushima-the-perfect-crime/5/)in Alaska and northwestern Canada. They’ll hit California this summer.

The corporate media will mock those parents who are certain to show up at the beaches with radiation detectors. Concerns about the effect on children will be jovially dismissed (http://prn.fm/category/archives/green-power-and-wellness-show/). The doses will be deemed, as always, “too small to have any impact on humans.”

But reports of a “dead zone” thousands of miles into the Pacific do persist, along with disappearances (http://www.wakingtimes.com/2013/10/23/28-signs-west-coast-absolutely-fried-nuclear-radiation-fukushima/) of salmon, sardines, anchovies and other ocean fauna.

Back in 2012, the Vancouver Sun reported that cesium-137 was being found in a very high percentage (http://readersupportednews.org/news-section2/343-203/9463-canada-fish-eaters-threatened-by-fukushima-radiation) of the fish that Japan was selling to Canada…

• 73 percent of mackerel tested
• 91 percent of the halibut
• 92 percent of the sardines
• 93 percent of the tuna and eel
• 94 percent of the cod and anchovies
• 100 percent of the carp, seaweed, shark and monkfish



Of course, atomic reactors are not the only source of radioactive fallout. Atmospheric bomb testing from 1945 to 1963 raised background radiation levels throughout the ecosphere. Those isotopes are still with us.


Burning coal spews still more radiation (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/coal-ash-is-more-radioactive-than-nuclear-waste/) into our air, along with mercury and other lethal pollutants. Fracking for gas draws toxins up from the earth’s crust.

Quote
In a 1978 paper for Science, J. P. McBride at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and his colleagues looked at the uranium and thorium content of fly ash from coal-fired power plants in Tennessee and Alabama.

To answer the question of just how harmful leaching could be, the scientists estimated radiation exposure around the coal plants and compared it with exposure levels around boiling-water reactor and pressurized-water nuclear power plants.

The result: estimated radiation doses ingested by people living near the coal plants were equal to or higher than doses for people living around the nuclear facilities. At one extreme, the scientists estimated fly ash radiation in individuals' bones at around 18 millirems (thousandths of a rem, a unit for measuring doses of ionizing radiation) a year.

Doses for the two nuclear plants, by contrast, ranged from between three and six millirems for the same period. And when all food was grown in the area, radiation doses were 50 to 200 percent higher around the coal plants.

Industry apologists (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rory-oconnor/stop-the-nukespeak-and-te_b_472311.html) say reactors can moderate the climate chaos caused by burning those fossil fuels.

But fighting global weirding with atomic power is like trying to cure a fever with a lethal dose of X-ray.

Impressive continued thread  updating us on Fukushima, Thor !

Now it seems that the UN are trying to convince us it will not be a cause for concern about Cancer according to this article !

                                  ------------------------

Fukushima meltdown not seen causing many cancers: UN scientists

Japan's Fukushima nuclear disaster is unlikely to lead to a rise in the number of people developing cancer like after Chernobyl in 1986, even though the most exposed children may face an increased risk, U.N. scientists said on Wednesday.

In a major study, the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) said it did not expect "significant changes" in future cancer rates that could be attributed to radiation exposure from the reactor meltdowns.

The amounts of radioactive substances such as iodine-131 released after the 2011 accident were much lower than after Chernobyl, and Japanese authorities also took action to protect people living near the stricken plant, including evacuations.

However, some children - estimated at fewer than 1,000 - might have received doses that could affect the risk of developing thyroid cancer later in life, UNSCEAR said, making clear that the probability of that happening was still low.

UNSCEAR chair Carl-Magnus Larsson said there was a theoretical increased risk among the most exposed children as regards to this type of cancer, which is a rare disease among the young.

But "we are not sure that this is going to be something that will be captured in the thyroid cancer statistics in future," he told a news conference.

Wolfgang Weiss, who chaired the Fukushima assessment, said the thyroid cancer risk was much lower than after Chernobyl and any increase would affect a limited number of people.

WORST DISASTER SINCE CHERNOBYL

On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9 earthquake and tsunami devastated the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, 220 km northeast of Tokyo, spewing radiation and forcing about 160,000 people to flee their homes.

It was the world's worst nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl reactor explosion sent radioactive dust across much of Europe. People close to the then Soviet plant were exposed to radioactive iodine that contaminated milk.

In contrast, UNSCEAR's Fukushima report said it expected a low impact on cancer rates of the population and that this was largely due to "prompt protective actions" by Japanese authorities following the accident.

A 30-km radius around the plant was declared a no-go zone, while areas where radiation was not so critically high took steps such as replacing the earth in parks and school playgrounds, decontaminating public spaces like sidewalks, and limiting children's outdoor play time.

"No discernible changes in future cancer rates and hereditary diseases are expected due to exposure to radiation as a result of the Fukushima nuclear accident," it UNSCEAR said in a statement accompanying its nearly 300-page study.

"DON'T BE SCARED"

The thyroid - a gland in the neck that produces hormones that regulate vital bodily functions - is the most exposed organ as radioactive iodine concentrates there. Children are deemed especially vulnerable.

UNSCEAR said the normal thyroid cancer risk for young children was very low.

"The occurrence of a large number of radiation-induced thyroid cancers as were observed after Chernobyl can be discounted because doses were substantially lower," it said.

In Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, the countries most affected by Chernobyl, more than 6,000 cases of thyroid cancer had been reported by 2005 in children and adolescents who were exposed at the time of the accident, UNSCEAR says on its website.

UNSCEAR said about 35,000 children aged up to five lived in districts where the average absorbed dose to the thyroid was between 45 and 55 milliGrays (mGy), a radiation measurement.

But doses varied considerably among individuals, from about two to three times higher or lower than the average.

LOW RISK

UNSCEAR "considered that fewer than a thousand children might have received absorbed doses to the thyroid that exceeded 100 mGy and ranged up to about 150 mGy," the report said.

"The risk of thyroid cancer for this group could be expected to be increased," it said.

UNSCEAR's press statement made clear it was still not seen as a big risk, however, with a headline saying: "Low risk of thyroid cancer among children most exposed."

Weiss said his message to the families would be: "The risk is low. Continue life. Don't be scared. But if you have the feeling that you need support, consult a physician who is specialized on this type of question."

UNSCEAR said 80 leading scientists had worked on the report - "Levels and effects of radiation exposure due to the nuclear accident after the 2011 great east-Japan earthquake and tsunami" - and that the material was reviewed by its 27 member states.

Canadian 10th Grader Discovers Radioactive Imported Seafood Long After Government Stopped Testing | EcoWatch (http://ecowatch.com/2014/04/01/canadian-10th-grader-radioactive-imported-seafood/)

Alberta student’s science project finds high radiation levels in grocery-store seafood | Metro (http://metronews.ca/news/calgary/982233/alberta-students-science-project-finds-high-radiation-levels-in-grocery-store-seafood/)

Radioactive seafood isn’t foreign to Canadian grocery stores, but we have no research and development professionals to thank for that information—just a 10th grader from Alberta.

Alberta high-school student Bronwyn Delacruz loves sushi, but became concerned last summer after learning how little food inspection actually takes place on some of its key ingredients.

The Grade 10 student from Grande Prairie said she was shocked to discover that, in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) stopped testing imported foods for radiation in 2012.

So, she decided to carry out her own tests.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/bronwynweb.jpg)

Grande Prairie high-school student Bronwyn Delacruz with her award-winning science project, titled,
‘Is Radioactive Contamination Reaching Store Bought Edible Seaweed?’


Bronwyn Delacruz of Grande Prairie Composite High School in Alberta made her discovery with the help of a $600 Geiger counter her father purchased and the need to complete a science project. She told Metro Canada (http://metronews.ca/news/calgary/982233/alberta-students-science-project-finds-high-radiation-levels-in-grocery-store-seafood/) that she decided to test the radioactivity of seafood—mostly seaweed—because she was shocked to learn that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) stopped testing imported foods in that manner the year after the Fukushima nuclear disaster (http://ecowatch.com/?s=fukushima) in Japan.

“Some of the kelp that I found was higher than what the International Atomic Energy Agency sets as radioactive contamination, which is 1,450 counts over a 10-minute period,” she said.

“Some of my samples came up as 1,700 or 1,800.”

Delacruz said the samples that “lit up” the most were products from China that she bought in local grocery stores.

Since the Canadian stopped testing seafood for radiation, an Alberta teenager took matters into her own hands. (Photo credit: AP / Ahn Young-joon)


According to the Daily Herald Tribune (http://www.dailyheraldtribune.com/2014/03/25/local-science-project-finds-high-levels-of-radiation-in-seaweed) , Bronwyn tested more than 300 seaweed samples, including 15 brands exported from Japan, China, California, Washington, New Brunswick and British Columbia. Her work earned her gold honors at a regional science fair in Peace River, Alberta. In May, she will compete nationally in Ontario.

“I’m kind of concerned that this is landing in our grocery stores and that if you aren’t measuring it, you could just be eating this and bringing home to your family,” Bronwyn said.

The CFIA’s website (http://www.inspection.gc.ca/food/imports/japan-nuclear-crisis/eng/1384447285082/1384448940388) says that it found more than 200 seafood samples in 2011 and 2012 that were “found to be below Health Canada’s actionable levels for radioactivity.” That was enough to lift the country’s enhanced import controls.

“No additional testing is planned,” the site reads.

Quote
The CFIA states online that it “continues to monitor events in Japan” but has no immediate plans to resume regular radiation testing, noting “Japanese controls on the sale of contaminated product remain intact.”

The agency did extensive testing on a variety of foods for a year and a half after the nuclear disaster in Japan but found no cause for concern at that time.

“More than 200 food samples were tested and all were found to be below Health Canada’s actionable levels for radioactivity,” the CFIA states in a February 2014 posting on its website (http://www.inspection.gc.ca/food/imports/japan-nuclear-crisis/eng/1384447285082/1384448940388).

“As such, enhanced import controls have been lifted and no additional testing is planned.”

Fishing for data in the radioactive waters off Fukushima - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIjJlK5EWOw)


Published on Mar 5, 2014
With help from fisherman and citizen scientists, researchers in Japan and the U.S. are tracking the nucleotides in the ocean creatures who swim in the plume of water tainted with radiation from Fukushima. Their research is part of a long-term effort to figure out when — if ever — certain fish will be safe to eat. Science correspondent Miles O'Brien reports.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/milesObrien_fuku_plune.png)


According to our (Rabun County (http://explorerabun.com/explore-new-adventures/recreation/fishing/)) friend Miles O’Brien, it’s the same scenario in the U.S.

One of his recent PBS reports revealed that scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute were turned down after requesting minimal federal support by five agencies. There are no federal agencies conducting comprehensive, on-the-ground analyses of how much Fukushima radiation has made its way into the air and oceans of the U.S.

In fact, very soon after Fukushima began to blow, President Obama assured the world that radiation coming to the U.S. would be minuscule and harmless. He had no scientific proof that this would be the case. And as O’Brien’s eight-minute piece shows all too clearly, the “see no evil, pay no damages” ethos is at work here. The government is doing no monitoring of radiation levels in fish, and information on contamination of the ocean is almost entirely generated by underfunded researchers like Buesseler.

O’Brien’s first piece took us on a terrifying “post apocalyptic” tour inside Fukushima (http://ecowatch.com/2014/03/02/pbs-post-apocalyptic-tour-fukushima/). His third and final piece will air Tuesday, March 11, the third anniversary of the beginning of the Fukushima disaster.

But PBS has now penetrated where ordinary journalists may not tread—the interior of the most radioactive place on Earth. PBS reporter Miles O’Brien shows us for the first time some of the visual reality of what has actually happened to a six-reactor facility that has turned into a trillion-dollar catastrophe.

Given the “State Secrets Act" (http://ecowatch.com/2013/12/11/japans-new-fukushima-fascism/) banning Japan’s citizens from criticizing the government, O’Brien’s footage may be the last we see inside Fukushima for quite some time.

TOKYO —The operator of Japan’s crippled Fukushima nuclear plant on Thursday logged a first-half net profit with its results boosted by a government bailout and electricity rate hike....:P

Sales climbed to 3.22 trillion yen, up from 2.88 trillion yen, owing to a government-approved electricity rate hike, it said.

TEPCO was effectively nationalised last year with a huge injection of government money to keep it afloat as it faces massive compensation and clean-up costs after the 2011 nuclear disaster.

Canopy-Forming Kelps as California’s Coastal Dosimeter:
Iodine-131 from Damaged Japanese Reactor Measured in Macrocystis pyrifera -
Environmental Science & Technology (http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/es203598r)


The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant, damaged by an earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 released large amounts of Iodine-131 into the atmosphere, which was assimilated into canopy blades of Macrocystis pyrifera sampled from coastal California.

The specific activity calculated to the estimated date of deposition/assimilation ranged from 0.6 to 2.5 Bq gdwt–1, levels greater than those measured from kelps from Japan and Canada prior to the release. These Iodine-131 levels represent a significant input into the kelp forest ecosystem.

Canopy-forming kelps are a natural coastal dosimeter that can measure the exposure of the coastal environment to Iodine-131 and perhaps other radioisotopes released from nuclear accidents.

An organizational mechanism should be in place to ensure that they are sampled immediately and continuously after such releases.

Nuclear officials see future business in Fukushima decommissioning (http://www.theprovince.com/business/Nuclear+officials+future+business+Fukushima+decommissioning/9594397/story.html)

9 March 2014

TOKYO - There is something surprising in the radioactive wreck that is the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant: opportunity. To clean it up, Japan will have to develop technology and expertise that any nation with a nuclear reactor will one day need.

Eyeing dozens of aging reactors at home and hundreds of others worldwide that eventually need to be retired, Japanese industry sees a profitable market for decommissioning expertise.

It may sound surprising, given all the ongoing problems (http://www.thestar.com/news/world/2013/10/25/top_10_silly_mistakes_at_fukushima_nuclear_plant_this_year_so_far.html) with the coastal Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, including massive leaks of contaminated water and other mishaps that followed its devastation by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

But many experts and industry officials say the experience and technology such as robotics being developed can be used in any decommissioning in the future. That could represent new opportunities for Japan Inc., which has lost some of its global clout to competitors from countries such as South Korea, China and the U.S.

"There is decommissioning business here beyond Fukushima and it's a worldwide business," said Lake Barrett (http://www.lbarrett.com/resume.html), a former U.S. nuclear regulator who headed the Three Mile Island cleanup. "I think it's an exciting new area," he said. "Japan can be a world leader again."

Japan's government hopes an offshoot will a boom in the country's nuclear technology exports] (http://www.bing.com/news/search?q=Japan+Nuclear+Technology+Exports&qpvt=Japan+nuclear+technology+exports&FORM=EWRE).

Japan endorses reactor exports even as it debates nuclear policy at home - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/japan-pushes-for-reactor-exports-even-as-it-debates-nuclear-policy-at-home/2011/11/13/gIQAfgKfQN_story.html)

Japan To Export Nuclear Technology Despite Domestic Safety Concerns (http://www.rttnews.com/2138828/japan-to-export-nuclear-technology-despite-domestic-safety-concerns.aspx)


Japan on Tuesday marks the third anniversary of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disasters known as 3.11 that killed 15,884 people and left 2,636 unaccounted for in vast areas of its northern coast.

The country has struggled to rebuild tsunami-hit communities and to clean up radiation from the nuclear crisis, and has earmarked 25 trillion yen ($250 billion) for reconstruction through March 2016. About 50,000 people from Fukushima are still unable to return home due to concerns over radiation.

Despite the Fukushima meltdowns that experts say are far more challenging to deal with than the 1979 Three Mile Island meltdown, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is eager to sell Japan's nuclear plants and technology overseas. He boasts that Japan can offer the world's highest safety standards that reflect lessons learned from Fukushima.

More than 400 nuclear reactors are already in operation in more than 30 countries, with dozens more under construction. More new reactors are expected, including hundreds planned in China alone by 2050.

Tokyo Electric Power Co., the utility that runs Fukushima Dai-ichi, is setting up a separate company in April to clean up the plant.

Tentatively called the Decommissioning Company, it is overseen by the government's economic ministry and could evolve into a decommissioning organization for other plants at home and abroad. Academics, construction giants, electronics makers and risk management firms are rushing to get on the bus.

Japan also created the government-funded International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning, or IRID, last year. It brings together nuclear plant operators, construction companies and organizations of nuclear experts to promote research and development of nuclear decommissioning technologies, as well as co-operation between international and domestic organizations.


IRID has received 780 proposals for funding from around the world for ideas and technologies related to the treatment and management of contaminated water, as well as 220 others about retrieving the three melted cores.

Japanese companies including Toshiba Corp., Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi have been developing robots that can monitor radiation, decontaminate, remove contaminated debris or repair damage, and some of them have been mobilized at the plant.

Standard decommissioning has been largely carried out by human workers. IRID Managing Director Kazuhiro Suzuki said the robotics technologies being developed to probe and remove Fukushima's melted fuel could benefit ordinary decommissioning, not just severely damaged reactors.

"Decommissioning of aging reactors is an imminent task that all nuclear plant operators face," he said.

Another Environmental Consequence (https://na.unep.net/geas/getUNEPPageWithArticleIDScript.php?article_id=70):

Quote
...
Currently, there are nearly 150 reactors still operating that are over 30 years old, 13 of which are over 40 years old (IAEA 2011). These figures do not include military and research reactors. In the coming years, many reactors will be scheduled for decommissioning due to their advanced age, adding to the already large number of inactive reactors.
[...]
In 1991 approximately 200 decommissioned nuclear submarines existed in Russia. By 2003, half of these had actually been dismantled. However, many of the reactors from these ships had been dumped in the sea or were still floating in buoys near the shipyards (Webster 2003).

In the UK, a site for decommissioning out-of-service submarines has not yet been selected, and fifteen submarines are currently awaiting dismantling or being prepared for "afloat storage" (Environment Agency UK 2011 (http://test.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/110346.aspx)). Fears have been raised over the creation of nuclear hot spots in oceans and seas (Aumento and others 2006).

Use of robotics and other advanced technologies not only helps to reduce worker radiation exposure but also could make a cleanup faster and cheaper, said Barrett, the Three Mile Island expert who now advises TEPCO and IRID.

Experts in Japan are eying a British model, the National Decommissioning Agency, founded in 2005 to be in charge of decommissioning and cleanup of nuclear plants and radioactive waste management.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Fukushima_All_6_Reactors_BEFORE.jpg)

TEPCO is decommissioning four reactor units crippled by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, and will later scrap the remaining two that survived. Three suffered meltdowns and one was damaged by hydrogen explosions. The decommissioning of the four would take about 40 years.

The total cleanup cost for the severely damaged Fukushima reactors could be as high as 10 times a standard decommissioning that normally costs about 70 billion yen ($700 million) per reactor, Suzuki said.

Having completed decommissioning of 10 regular reactors and the Three Mile Island cleanup, the U.S. government and nuclear industry see a profitable market too.

In February, representatives of 26 American companies came to Tokyo for presentation and business talks with 50 Japanese companies during a two-day decommissioning and remediation forum, co-sponsored by the governments of Japan and the U.S.

"We can work together and do so much more," said Austin Auger, an executive at CB&I, which worked with Toshiba to assemble one of the earliest treatment units for contaminated water at Fukushima.

TEPCO : Regarding Certain Overseas Reports on Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/announcements/2014/1233524_5932.html)

10 January 2014

Announcements?Regarding Certain Overseas Reports on Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station
Some overseas press outlets are reporting that steam is being generated from Unit 3 at Fukushima Daiichi NPS and its condition is dangerous, releasing radioactive material, and that there were two underground nuclear explosions at the site.

However, such information is incorrect, and we have found no change in the status of the plant.


Steam generation on the operating floor at Unit 3, and the detection of highly concentrated radioactive material at groundwater observation holes etc., have been pointed out as the basis for the overseas reports. We respond to these as follows.

- Steam-like gas generated on the operating floor at Unit 3 in Fukushima Daiichi NPS

Since July 2013, steam-like gas has been intermittently observed on the operating floor at Unit 3. The steam-like gas is estimated to emerge via the following sequence:

1) Accumulated hygroscopic moisture, such as rainwater, exists below the shield plug (a lid made of concrete).

2) The hygroscopic moisture is heated by the heat radiated from the top of the Primary Containment Vessel (PCV).

3) The heated hygroscopic moisture is released onto the operating floor via the gap of the shield plug.

4) The released moisture is cooled down by the cool atmosphere, giving it the appearance of a steam-like gas.

We found no abnormalities in the measured values (indicating the temperature and condition of the Reactor Building), or in the value of the monitoring post (monitoring the amount of radiation), even when the steam-like gas was being generated, therefore we are certain that there has been no influence on the outside.

In addition, we measured the amount of radiation at the point from which steam-like gas was generated, and found that its amount was almost the same as for the other neighboring points.

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/TEPCO_BS_graphic_steamGas.jpg)


- Highly-concentrated radioactive material found at the observation holes
We have been monitoring the groundwater sampled at the observation holes established to investigate the contamination status of groundwater, for the purpose of investigating the effects of the leak of contaminated water from the contaminated water storage tanks in August 2013.

At the end of 2013, the measurement value for Tritium, one of the radioactive materials in the water sampled at the observation hole near the tank that suffered leakage, increased from 34,000Bq/L (on December 28) to 450,000Bq/L (on January 1).

This increase in the value could be attributed to 1) the contaminated water that previously leaked from the tank soaking into the nearby ground, or 2) the effects of the water pumping* (*we have been pumping up the contaminated groundwater at the nearby observation holes, however the amount being pumped up was temporarily decreased at the end of 2013).

The value decreased to 17,000Bq/L on January 8. Highly concentrated Tritium (almost equivalent concentration level) was found in this observation hole in the past, and the highest concentrated tritium 790,000Bq/L was also found here on October 17, 2013.


- Earthquake on December 31, 2013?Some overseas press outlets reported that underground nuclear explosions caused several quakes with magnitudes of 5.1 and 3.6.
According to the Japanese Meteorological Agency, 13 earthquakes (with a maximum magnitude of 5.4) occurred and originated in the north part of Ibaraki Prefecture on December 31 2013. None of these earthquakes was caused by Fukushima Daiichi NPS.

We also found no accidents or trouble etc. in Fukushima Daiichi NPS.

And a big round of applause and a hearty 'Thank-you' to TEPCO.   :P

Public attention needs to be directed to the reactors that are IDENTICAL to the ones that exploded and suffered triple melt-throughs at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan.

23 US Nuclear Plants use same GE Fukushima reactors (http://www.whiteoutpress.com/articles/2014/q1/23-us-nuclear-plants-use-same-ge-fukushima-reactors/)

January 26, 2014
With residents of western North America in a near panic over reports of ever-increasing radiation from Fukushima, critics have shifted their complaints to something even more feared. Some are accusing the Obama administration of downplaying the dangers from Japan in order to avoid the fact that 23 reactors in the US are the same allegedly faulty General Electric model that failed in Fukushima.

Until now, it’s been somewhat of a secret that General Electric designed the six nuclear reactors that were damaged and melted down in Fukushima in 2011.

In fact, GE actually manufactured three of the six, while Toshiba built two and Hitachi produced one. The design that five of the six reactors were manufactured to were the GE Mark I model, while the sixth was the later GE Mark II version. Both models have been criticized since their inception in the 1960’s as having a faulty design.


Obama, General Electric and nuclear catastrophe

Journalist and Editor of The Daily Sheeple, Chris Carrington, published a story (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/why-obama-wont-admit-fukushima-radiation-is-poisoning-americansconnecting-the-dots_012014) recently that revealed quite a bit of information connecting the nuclear meltdowns in Japan to radiation denials by President Obama, and onto GE CEO Jeff Immelt.

GE and Immelt have been longtime donors to and supporters of Barack Obama and the Democratic Party. It seems every time GE needs a $139 billion bailout like it did in 2008, a regulatory law change, exemption or other government favor, Democratic elected officials get a generous contribution and then return the favor.

President Obama and fellow Democrats have been so appreciative of Jeff Immelt’s financial help, Obama named the General Electric CEO as the country’s Jobs Czar after his first election in 2008. At the same time, Immelt and GE were accepting an emergency $139 billion taxpayer-backed bailout to save its GE Capital financial division. Critics like us here at Whiteout Press were incensed at that appointment. Historically speaking, GE and Jeff Immelt are one of, if not thee, worst outsourcer of American jobs in US history.

Obama launches new push for US jobs, tapping GE's Immelt to help - CSMonitor.com (http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2011/0121/Obama-launches-new-push-for-US-jobs-tapping-GE-s-Immelt-to-help)

Almost immediately after President Obama announced Immelt’s appointment to government Czar, the powerful CEO announced GE was closing its entire X-Ray technology headquarters and moving the jobs to China, where Immelt commonly brags is the corporation’s, “other home.” GE’s X-Ray headquarters had proudly operated in Waukesha, Wisconsin for 115 years. Read the 2011 Whiteout Press article, ‘White House Jobs Czar sends Jobs to China' (http://www.whiteoutpress.com/articles/wach/jobs-czar-sends-american-jobs-to-china571/) for more information.

So when The Daily Sheeple featured an article by Chris Carrington suggesting a cover-up of the dangers posed to Americans over their own GE-designed nuclear reactors, many took notice.

The author also laid quite a bit of blame on Japanese, American and GE officials spanning the past 40 years for their own cover-up of the dangers posed by the General Electric reactors – dangers that came to fruition in 2011.

“We all know that the radiation from the stricken Fukushima plant has spread around the globe and is poisoning people worldwide,” Carrington writes,
 
“We all know that the West Coast of the United States is being polluted with radioactive debris and that the oceans, the beaches that border them, and even the air is becoming more polluted by radioactivity as time goes on.

You have to ask yourself why the government won’t admit this.

It’s not like a disaster half a world away is their fault (http://www.thelivingmoon.com/forum/index.php?topic=3007.0), is it?"




(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/come_visit_Japan-640.jpg)


White House silence

Carrington and The Daily Sheeple suggest that President Obama’s silence on the topic is due to his fear that someone might mention the fact that there are currently 23 GE Mark I nuclear power reactors operating in the United States.

“Any admission that radiation has spread across the Pacific Ocean and contaminated American soil is an admission that the technology was flawed, and that same flawed technology is being used in the United States,” Carrington says.

“The government does not want anyone looking closer at the situation. They don’t want people poking around asking questions about why the radiation got out in the first place - it’s too close to home.”

The article goes on to ask,

‘Nothing has been published regarding the increased rates of miscarriage and childhood thyroid cancers. Why is that?’

The author has a point. Hypothyroid disease is a mandatory test in babies here in the US. Test results since the Fukushima disaster show an increase in newborns testing positive for the radiation-induced disease throughout America’s western states. But the scientific community has been eerily silent on the anomaly for three years now while the US President publicly insists it’s untrue.

The point the author was trying to make wasn’t so much that the GE-designed reactors are faulty or that the governments and scientific communities in America and Japan are covering up the world’s exposure to the radiation emanating from Fukushima.


The point is that there are 23 nuclear reactors of the same design operating in the US.
23 reactors with spent fuel rod cooling ponds suspended 100 feet in the air.
23 reactors located in states susceptible to earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, or all three.
23 Fukushima’s waiting to happen in the United States.
That’s what nobody wants to talk about.


For more information, read the report from The Daily Sheeple (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/why-obama-wont-admit-fukushima-radiation-is-poisoning-americansconnecting-the-dots_012014).

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Fukushima_the_elephant-600~0.jpg)


The President of the United States knows that the radiation from Fukushima is worse than it would have been had the reactors used at the plant been of a different design.

The President of the United States knows that the delicate and hazardous task of removing and storing the spent fuel rods (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/breaking-fukushima-could-be-15000x-worse-than-hiroshima-with-removal-of-fuel-rods_102013)is going to take years and that one mistake can exacerbate the problems ten-fold.

The President of the United States knows that 23 sites in America are using the same flawed reactors and he is doing nothing about it.

The President of the United States is holding the lives of tens of millions of Americans in his hands and he refuses to even admit there is a problem.

The President of the United States needs to understand that the people of the West Coast are not just pawns in his political game.

The President of the United States should be explaining what is causing all the fish die-offs (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/why-are-millions-of-fish-suddenly-dying-in-mass-death-events-all-over-the-planet_082013) if it is unconnected to radiation (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/enjoy-the-radioactive-fish-tests-show-fukushima-fish-are-up-to-124x-above-safe-level_012014).

The President of the United States, Obama knows that millions of American citizens are being poisoned (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/radiation-101_032013) due, in part, to a failure of American technology. I recognize that the earthquake and tsunami were forces of nature, but the damage sustained could have been reduced considerably by not using the Mark 1.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Plume_Forecast_CNTBTO.png)


I understand that these reactors were not installed on his watch, but he’s there now.
He’s the one that can make the difference now.

It is he who can look into the nuclear power stations on American soil in the hope of preventing a meltdown here. Our nuclear power stations are old, past their sell by date in some cases (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/fukushima-nuclear-apologists-play-shoot-the-messenger-on-radiation_032013). It’s not just the reactors that are the problem either.

Hanford (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/hanford-nuclear-reservation-has-leaking-waste-tanks_022013), right on the Columbia River in Washington state, as one example, constantly leaks radioactive liquid into the ground, and possibly the groundwater.

The situation at fukushima (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/fukushima-new-leak-causes-truly-massive-radiation-spike_102013) is still far from stable, and it will be years before/ (http://www.thedailysheeple.com/cover-up-the-levels-of-radiation-in-the-place-are-through-the-fcking-roof_012014) stability is even on the horizon.
Something has to be done before one of our aging power stations starts Fukushima Part ll.

On the third anniversary of the Fukushima Daiichi catastrophe (http://enformable.com/2014/03/third-anniversary-fukushima-daiichi-catastrophe/)

By Karl Grossman

With the third anniversary of the start of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear catastrophe coming next week, the attempted Giant Lie about the disaster continues—a suppression of information,

an effort at dishonesty of historical dimensions.

It involves international entities, especially the International Atomic Energy Agency, national governmental bodies—led in Japan by its current prime minister, the powerful nuclear industry and a “nuclear establishment” of scientists and others with a vested interest in atomic energy.

Deception was integral to the push for nuclear power from its start. Indeed, I opened my first book on nuclear technology, Cover Up: What You Are Not Supposed to Know About Nuclear Power, with:

“You have not been informed about nuclear power. You have not been told. And that has been done on purpose.

Keeping the public in the dark was deemed necessary by the promoters of nuclear power if it was to succeed. Those in government, science and private industry who have been pushing nuclear power realized that if people were given the facts, if they knew the consequences of nuclear power, they would not stand for it.

If people knew that the kind of accidents that happened at Three Mile Island, at the Fermi Reactor, at Browns Ferry, at Windscale, at "SL-1," among others -- the sort of huge catastrophes which have been only barely avoided -- are to be expected, they'd be damned upset and would insist a stop be put to nuclear power."

This powerful documentary challenges the claims of the nuclear industry and government that no one died as a result of the core meltdown at the Three Mile Island nuclear facility in Pennsylvania. It utilizes the testimony of area residents and scientific findings to reveal that deaths, especially from cancer and birth defects in children, have been widespread since the 1979 accident.

Watch Chernobyl: A Million Casualties (http://blip.tv/envirovideo/chernobyl-a-million-casualties-4940000)

Chernobyl: A Million Casualties. A million people have died so far as a result of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear plant accident, explains Dr. Janette Sherman, toxicologist and contributing editor of the book Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment.

Published by the New York Academy of Sciences, the book, authored by Dr. Alexey Yablokov, Dr. Vassily Nesterenko and Dr. Alexey Nesterenko, examined medical records now available--which expose as a lie the claim of the International Atomic Energy Commission that perhaps 4,000 people may die as a result of Chernobyl.

Enviro Close-Up #613 "Nukespeak"
Of the books written about nuclear technology through the years, Nukespeak is a classic. A new 30th anniversary edition of Nukespeak has just been published and co-author Rory O'Connor speaks about it. The new edition of Nukespeak has been updated -- with four new chapters -- and added to its title is: The Selling of Nuclear Technology from the Manhattan Project to Fukushima. It tells how nuclear promoters have been -- and continue -- using Orwellian language to try to hide the truth about the deadly dangers of nuclear technology.?

Book Description
Publication Date: October 4, 2011

A language of euphemism and distortion—a language like “newspeak” from George Orwell’s 1984—has profoundly shaped public debate about nuclear technology since its inception. After World War II, nuclear developers used information-management techniques, including official secrecy and public relations, to promote what one called the “sunny side of the atom”—energy “too cheap to meter” that would supposedly power a new Golden Age.

Such euphoric visions set the stage for one of the most extraordinary public-relations efforts in history: the selling of nuclear technology to the American public.

The original edition of Nukespeak, published by Sierra Club Books in 1982, was conceived in the wake of the first great nuclear plant accident at Three Mile Island. Breaking through the linguistic filter of the nuclear mindset, it carefully documented how nuclear developers confused their hopes with reality, covered up damaging information, harassed and dismissed scientists who disagreed with official policy, and generated false or misleading statistics to bolster their assertions.

Sadly, these developers also failed to learn from their mistakes—as this updated 30th anniversary edition of the book makes abundantly clear.

Examining the critical events of the last three decades—including Chernobyl; nuclear proliferation thanks to the fiction of “Atoms for Peace”; the campaign to re-brand nuclear power as a clean, green solution to global warming; and the still-unfolding disaster at Japan’s Fukushima power plant—the new edition argues persuasively that “nukespeak” and the nuclear mindset continue to dominate public debate about nuclear weapons and nuclear power in a continuing attempt to seduce us into accepting the unthinkable.

Study shows Fukushima nuclear pollution becoming more concentrated as it approaches U.S. West Coast — Plume crosses ocean in a nearly straight line toward N. America — Appears to stay together with little dispersion (MODEL) (http://enenews.com/study-shows-fukushima-nuclear-pollution-becoming-more-concentrated-in-pacific-as-it-nears-u-s-west-coast-plume-travels-a-nearly-straight-line-to-america-appears-to-stay-together-with-little-dis)

Title: An ensemble estimation of impact times and strength of Fukushima nuclear pollution to the east coast of China and the west coast of America?Source: Science China Earth Sciences; Volume 56, Issue 8, pp 1447-1451?Authors: GuiJun Han, Wei Li, HongLi Fu, XueFeng Zhang, XiDong Wang, XinRong Wu, LianXin Zhang.

[...]  On March 30, 2011, the Japan Central News Agency reported the monitored radioactive pollutions that were 4000 times higher than the standard level. Whether or not these nuclear pollutants will be transported to the Pacific-neighboring countries through oceanic circulations becomes a world-wide concern. [...]

[...] The time scale of the nuclear pollutants reaching the west coast of America is 3.2 years if it is estimated using the surface drifting buoys and 3.9 years if it is estimated using the nuclear pollutant particulate tracers. [...]


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/img_335-Aug_-20-08_20.jpg)


The half life of cesium-137 is so long that it produces more damage to human. Figure 4 gives the examples of the distribution of the impact strength of Cesium-137 at year 1.5 (panel (a)), year 3.5 (panel (b)), and year 4 (panel (c)). [...]


It is worth noting that due to the current near the shore cannot be well reconstructed by the global ocean reanalysis, some nuclear pollutant particulate tracers may come to rest in near shore area, which may result in additional uncertainty in the estimation of the impact strength.

[...] Since the major transport mechanism of nuclear pollutants for the west coast of America is the Kuroshio-extension currents, after four years, the impact strength of Cesium-137 in the west coast area of America is as high as 4%.

If only real world fallout from Fukushima were color-coded like on my "Aerial Dance of Mass Death and Genetic Destruction" map series (http://www.amfir.com/AmFirstInst/NonToolbarTopics/Black_Ops/Japan_Quake-Nuclear_Catastrophe_2011/Radiation_Forecasts/2011/Fukushima_Radiation_and_Fallout_index.html). Instead, it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, and in the words of British physicist Dr. Chris Busby, "Is like invisible snakes" that bite.

As it steadily accumulates in the body, it gradually degrades the immune system and exacerbates every pathological condition known to man, ranging from cancer to heart disease to reduced IQs to birth defects to reduced resistance to viral diseases -- the list is endless.

Just because a large percentage of the U.S. population is in ignorance or denial does not mean that they will not pay a terrible price in the decades to come.

North America also got plastered with radioactive Iodide 131, Cesium 137, Strontium 90, and a whole witches brew of other radioactive particles. Virtually no one in North America was warned by either their governments or mainstream media about the extremely serious nature of these threats or the urgent need to take precautions.

That's right boys and girls. Just one more thing from the NRC FOIA documents pertaining to Fukushima that the troll dens and shill networks won't tell you.

What we find in this particular case is that President Obama called for several studies to be done following the meltdowns in Japan. Obama knows all about the SFP levels that have been accumulating over the years that are now at all-time dangerous levels. He knows all about the SFPs that are NOT earthquake ready.

But Obama and others in positions of authority simply choose NOT to act on it. Just like President Obama and multiple alphabet agencies did with the knowledge of the radioactive plume and fallout heading for America back in March of 2011.


Again, there is a full-court-press-information-blackout among all sectors of media in regards to the information contained within the NRC Freedom of Information Documents. Two years have elapsed and the massive government and industry orchestrated cover-up that has resulted in an estimated 65,000+ AMERICAN fatalities, all proven in the NRC FOIA documents, has gone unnoticed. Estimates range as high as 1.3 million deaths by the year 2030.

To experience this blackout firsthand, simply forward my NRC FOIA screencaps around and see how they are ignored. I have plenty at my wordpress blog 'Uncovering Plume-Gate' here: http://plumegate.wordpress.com/?and please read the Robert Alvarez study [url=http://www.ips-dc.org/reports/spent_nuclear_fuel_pools_in_the_us_reducing_the_deadly_risks_of_storage]Spent Nuclear Fuel Pools in the U.S.: Reducing the Deadly Risks of Storage[/url]  ...you will be shocked:

N. Pacific Seafood To Exceed Radiation levels 1,000 Bq/kg (http://asheepnomore.net/2014/04/08/n-pacific-seafood-exceed-radiation-levels-1000-bqkg/)

'Environmental Radiation: What Do We Know and What Should We Know for Assessing Risks’

Event: SETAC North America 32nd Annual Meeting, October 4, 2011

      Abstract: The Fukushima nuclear emergency [...] emerged as a high priority looming threat due to the risk of radioactive contamination in the global ocean and biodiversity. [...] we assessed the bioaccumulation potential of 137Cs by testing steady state and time-dependent bioaccumulation models in an offshore food web that included fish-eating, resident killer whales (Orcinus orca) as one of the major top predators of the marine ecosystems in British Columbia, Canada.

      Steady State Bioaccumulation Model: “Concentrations of 137Cs predicted in the male killer whale were approximately three orders of magnitude higher relative to its major prey, Chinook salmon, and 13,000 times higher compared to phytoplankton.” Time-Dependent Bioaccumulation Model:

       “After 30 days of radioactive spillage, the 137Cs concentrations accumulate gradually over time in high trophic level organisms (salmon and killer whales), which exhibited low concentrations likely driven by slow intake rates, while it bioaccumulates at faster uptake rates in low trophic level, gill ventilating organisms (phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthic invertebrates and planktivorous fish), exhibiting concentration about one to two orders of magnitude greater than that in killer whales.

      At 9125 days (25 years), the predicted concentrations of 137Cs accumulate in a higher degree in killer whales, being >2 orders of magnitude greater than that predicted in Chinook salmon and 10,000 times higher relative to phytoplankton.

      The levels of 137Cs predicted in biota (shellfish and fish) exceeded well above the 137Cs action level for commercial food/beverage of 1000 Bq/kg established by the Canadian Guidelines for Consumption following a Nuclear Emergency (emphasis added).”

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/noaa_disp.jpg)

Fukushima Radioactive Aerosol Dispersion, NOAA: The [HYSPLIT] model was developed by NOAA to follow the transport and dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere. In HYSPLIT, the computation is composed of four components: transport by the mean wind, turbulent dispersion, scavenging and decay.


A large number of pollutant particles, which by convention are called “particles” but are just computational “points” (particles or gases), are released at the source location and passively follow the wind. [...]

March 11th [...] by 16:36 a nuclear emergency was reported. By the early morning hours of March 12th, radioactive emissions were occurring [...]

The simulation from NOAA’s HYSPLIT model shows a continuous release of tracer particles from 12-31 March at a rate of 100 per hour representing the Cesium-137 emitted from Fukushima Daiichi. Each change in particle color represents a decrease in radioactivity by a factor of 10.

Notable Features

   •   Particles with the highest radioactivity were released around March 15th [See also: UN: Fukushima Unit 2 reactor “burst” on March 15th after fuel melted — Radiation doses soon hit highest levels of crisis for many places across region]

   •   Particles caught in clockwise circulations are embedded in fair weather high pressure systems and their radioactivity will persist for longer periods

   •   In general, radioactivity reaching the United States showed air concentrations over 1000 times smaller than areas near Japan

The March 22, 2011 NOAA model (above right) shows the West Coast of US and Canada covered in red particles, while the Fukushima site — and all of Japan — are under orange particles.  According to the NOAA above a “change in particle color represents a decrease in radioactivity by a factor of 10”

Journal of Ocean University of China (http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11802-014-1942-9), April 2014:

'A study of transport and impact strength of Fukushima nuclear pollutants in the North Pacific surface’

Abstract
   •   Based on the statistics of surface drifter data of 1979–2011 and the simulation of nuclear pollutant particulate movements simulated using high quality ocean reanalysis surface current dataset, the transport pathways and impact strength of Fukushima nuclear pollutants in the North Pacific have been estimated. The particulates are used to increase the sampling size and enhance the representativeness of statistical results.
      
   •   [...] most pollutant particles move eastward and are carried by the Kuroshio and Kuroshio-extension currents and reach the east side of the North Pacific after about 3.2–3.9 years
      
   •   [...] the impact strength of nuclear pollutants at these time scales can be estimated according to the temporal variations of relative concentration combined with the radioactive decay rate. For example, Cesium-137, carried by the strong North Pacific current, mainly accumulates in the eastern North Pacific and its impact strength is 4% of the initial level at the originating Fukushima area after 4 years. [...]

Excerpt
   •   The incident has been listed as the biggest ever release of radioactive materials into the oceans
      
   •   [...] The transport of nuclear pollutants is mainly controlled by surface ocean current.
      
   •   [...] as a result of oceanic advection and diffusion the cesium-I37 concentrations decreased to less than 10 BqL [10,000 Bq/m3] in the simulation domain by the end of May 2011.
      
   •   [...] most of  the nuclear material in the ocean would be slowly transported northeast of Fukushima and reach 150°E in 50 [days] [...] the nuclear debris in thc ocean would be confined to a narrow band [...]



We know we are being lied to about Fukushima.

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/alaska-640.jpg) (http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/alaska.jpg)


Even amateurs with little academic training in reading equipment know that the levels of radiation hitting Alaska are in excess (http://freepatriot.org/2013/11/13/fukushima-radiation-turns-into-alaskas-tragedy/) of those experienced in the cold war era of the 1960s. The radiation in the North Pacific due to above ground nuclear testing were regarded as fairly high. The levels being experienced now is higher than that, at least as measured by local residents.

In July of 2013, the Representatives in the Japanese Diet learned that the amount of radiation from the Fukushima was 20 times the amount of radiation of Hiroshima every day. The situation in Japan has become worse rather than better, and that is having an impact on radiation levels in Alaska.

Is Fukushima the greatest environmental disaster of all time?

Every single day, (only) 300 (so TEPCO says) tons of radioactive water from Fukushima enters the Pacific Ocean.

The radioactive material that is being released will outlive all of us by a very wide margin, and it is constantly building up in the food chain.

Nobody knows for sure how many people will eventually develop cancer and other health problems as a result of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, but some experts are not afraid to use the word “billions”.

It has been well over three years since the original disaster, and now they are telling us that it could take up to 40 more years to clean it up.

It is a nightmare of unimaginable proportions, and there is nowhere in the northern hemisphere that you will be able to hide from it.


Officials in Japan admit that 300 tons (http://rt.com/op-edge/japan-fukushima-contamination-environment-229/) of radioactive water from Fukushima is entering the Pacific Ocean every 24 hours.

According to a professor at Tokyo University, 3 gigabecquerels of cesium-137 are flowing into the port at Fukushima Daiichi every single day (http://enenews.com/mystery-tv-expert-says-oceans-radiation-levels-too-high-to-be-explained-by-only-groundwater-there-must-be-other-routes-for-contamination-thats-flowing-into-pacific-devastating-impact)...

Yoichiro Tateiwa, NHK reporter: [Professor Jota] Kanda argues government statistics don’t add up. He says a daily leakage of 300 tons doesn’t explain the current levels of radiation in the water.

Jota Kanda, Tokyo University professor: According to my research there are now 3 gigabecquerels [3 billion becquerels] of cesium-137 flowing into the port at Fukushima Daiichi every day. But for the 300 tons of groundwater to contain this much cesium-137, one liter of groundwater has to contain 10,000 becquerels of the radioactive isotope.

NHK: Kanda’s research and monitoring by Tepco puts the amount of cesium-137 in the groundwater around the plant at several hundred becquerels per liter at most. He’s concluded that radioactive isotope is finding another way to get into the ocean. He’s calling on the government and Tepco to identify contamination routes other than groundwater.

The Iodine-131, Cesium-137 and Strontium-90 that are constantly coming from Fukushima are going to affect the health of those living the the northern hemisphere for a very, very long time.


Just check out what Harvey Wasserman (http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2013/08/the-fukushima-nightmare-gets-worse.html) had to say recently…

Iodine-131, for example, can be ingested into the thyroid, where it emits beta particles (electrons) that damage tissue. A plague of damaged thyroids has already been reported among as many as 40 percent of the children in the Fukushima area.

That percentage can only go higher. In developing youngsters, it can stunt both physical and mental growth. Among adults it causes a very wide range of ancillary ailments, including cancer.

Cesium-137 from Fukushima has been found in fish caught as far away as California. It spreads throughout the body, but tends to accumulate in the muscles.

Strontium-90’s half-life is around 29 years. It mimics calcium and goes to our bones.

Sadly, the true horror of this disaster is only starting to be understood, and most people have absolutely no idea how serious all of this is.  What fallout researcher Christina Consolo told RT the other day should be very sobering for all of us…

We have endless releases into the Pacific Ocean that will be ongoing for not only our lifetimes, but our children’s’ lifetimes. We have 40 million people living in the Tokyo area nearby. We have continued releases from the underground corium that reminds us it is there occasionally with steam events and huge increases in radiation levels.

Across the Pacific, we have at least two peer-reviewed scientific studies so far that have already provided evidence of increased mortality in North America, and thyroid problems in infants on the west coast states from our initial exposures.

We have increasing contamination of the food chain, through bioaccumulation and biomagnification. And a newly stated concern is the proximity of melted fuel in relation to the Tokyo aquifer that extends under the plant.

If and when the corium reaches the Tokyo aquifer, serious and expedient discussions will have to take place about evacuating 40 million people from the greater metropolitan area.

As impossible as this sounds, you cannot live in an area which does not have access to safe water.


The operation to begin removing fuel from such a severely damaged pool has never been attempted before. The rods are unwieldy and very heavy, each one weighing two-thirds of a ton. But it has to be done, unless there is some way to encase the entire building in concrete with the pool as it is.

I don’t know of anyone discussing that option, but it would seem much ‘safer’ than what they are about to attempt…but not without its own set of risks.

 And all this collateral damage will continue for decades, if not centuries, even if things stay exactly the way they are now. But that is unlikely, as bad things happen like natural disasters and deterioration with time…earthquakes, subsidence, and corrosion, to name a few.

Every day that goes by, the statistical risk increases for this apocalyptic scenario. No one can say or know how this will play out, except that millions of people will probably die even if things stay exactly as they are, and billions could die if things get any worse.

The area immediately around Fukushima is already permanently uninhabitable, and the truth is that a much wider area of northern Japan should probably be declared off limits for human habitation.

But this just isn’t about Japan.

The cold, hard reality of the matter is that this is truly a disaster that is planetary in scope. 

The nuclear material from Fukushima is going to be carried all over the northern hemisphere, and countless numbers of people are going to become seriously ill as a result.

And remember, this is a disaster that is not even close to being contained yet.  Hundreds of tons of radioactive water continues to enter the Pacific Ocean every single day making the disaster that we are facing even worse.

May God have mercy on us all.

All these pretty pictures are lovely (although they take an annoyingly long time to load on my computer here in the new third world) but are they being posted elsewhere?

And given that we might be expected to be a bit more concerned and active than the average sheeple, may I ask, have ANY OF YOU changed your behaviours in any way post fukushima?

Thought not.

FB.

(Sorry if my post offends anyone, but I am sick of hearing people who complain but take no action. I see it ALL the time about EVERYTHING).

In the case of fukushima, we need to be bumping off nuclear apologists and nuclear industry leaders. They are doing it to us without consequence. Until we pay them back in the same coin nothing will change. And that isn't going to happen because we are the nice people... So there's nothing can be done except to carry on breathing and ingesting radionucleides, and hoping that someoen else will take action.

Tell me that I am wrong, Go on.

No you're not wrong, but if we do tht, or even TALK about doing it, they will shut us down, and many fine threads will go POOF...

First, the sheeple need to know that there IS a problem, pretty pictures work good on sheeple and yes they are being posted elsewhere, i plan to dump a whole bunch of them on Farcebook.

Then we need to show them WHAT the problem is, i think the massive amounts of info & links here proves that.

THEN we tell them that they need to take action, and yes i sign petitions all the time. Some of them actually work.

We also tell them that there are MANY alternatives, and not just windmills & solar panels but much, much more...............
And yes we do need to get cheap geigers out there, THAT will help A LOT.
Let's talk sometime, you know where to find me when i'm in the cave ;)

KPFA: Dr. Helen Caldicott threatened with death while in Japan (UPDATE: United States during the '80's per Dr.Caldicott) for speaking about nuclear power — Students being charged with disturbing the peace for handing out flyers (AUDIO)

KPFA Flashpoints (http://www.kpfa.org/archive/id/100824), Mar. 10, 2014 (at 3:00 in):
Steve Zeltzer, reporting from Japan: We went to Osaka

[…] we were told there’s continuing repression. Activists here are being threatened, including Professor Shimoji (http://enenews.com/japan-professor-dangerous-situation-other-countries-gundersen-govt-adequate-solution-crisis-fukushima-fear-finding-bad-really-plant-video) who was arrested for handing out leaflets.

The government is trying to suppress opposition to nuclear power by passing the secrecy law which just passed the parliament and also by intimidating antinuclear activists and saying they have to keep quiet.

[...]
We also learned from Dr. Helen Caldicott that she was threatened. She spoke at a meeting in Kyoto on the 8th and it was reported at the meeting that she had been threatened by right-wingers with death for speaking out about the dangers of nuclear power.

KPFA Flashpoints (http://www.kpfa.org/archive/id/100859), Mar. 11, 2014 (at 3:15 in):

Zeltzer: There were also students there from different universities that are reporting that they’re being repressed. They’re being charged with disturbing the peace for handing out flyers against the burning nuclear rubble and against nuclear power plants.

Fukushima Fallout
Nuclear business makes people pay and suffer

Publication - February 19, 2013
From the beginning of the use of nuclear power to produce electricity 60 years ago, the nuclear industry has been protected from paying the full costs of its failures. Governments have created a system that protects the profits of companies while those who suffer from nuclear disasters end up paying the costs.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Fukushima_Fallout_COVER-500.png)

Download Fukushima Fallout (http://www.greenpeace.org/africa/Global/international/publications/nuclear/2013/FukushimaFallout.pdf)



The disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in March 2011 proves again that industry profits and people pay.

Almost two years after the release of massive amounts of radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster, hundreds of thousands of people are still exposed to the long-term radioactive contamination caused by the accident.

The daily lives of victims are disrupted. They have lost their homes, their jobs, their businesses, their farms, their communities, and a way of life they enjoyed.

This new Greenpeace report demonstrates how the nuclear sector evades responsibility for its failures. The nuclear industry is unlike any other industry: it is not required to fully compensate its victims for the effects of its large, long-lasting, and trans-boundary disasters.

In this report, the current status of compensation for victims of the Fukushima disaster is analysed as an example of the serious problems due to lack of accountability for nuclear accidents.

The report also looks into the role of nuclear suppliers in the failure of the Fukushima reactors.

We learned from Fukushima that nuclear power can never be safe. The nuclear industry, largely protected from the financial liability for the Fukushima accident, continues to do business, while the Fukushima victims still lack proper compensation and support.

Would things be different if the next big nuclear disaster happened in your country? You would likely be facing the very same problems.

We have to phase out dangerous nuclear power entirely, and do so as soon as possible. Yet, if there is another major nuclear accident, people could be given better protection if we hold the nuclear industry fully accountable and liable.

We need to learn the lessons from Fukushima, and change the system in order to make all companies in the nuclear industry responsible for the risks they create.

Amen.

For almost 3 years now, extremely dangerous levels of radiation continue to spew from the crippled plant and into the Pacific ocean, while the mainstream media has launched a full-out propaganda war against the people to hide the severity of this massive ecological disaster that threatens our future.

Radiation levels are increasing by the day and it is now clear that fish have become highly contaminated, sea lions are dying in record numbers, and starfish are melting along the western coastline of the United States.

Massive invisible plumes of deadly isotopes continue to spread across North America and other countries, which get deposited on the soil and find their way into the planet’s delicate food chain.

Humanity must set aside ignorance, educate themselves about the dangers of nuclear energy and rise up against this threat to our existence.

We'll start with this from two years ago ...
so what have we learned?


Perhaps more importantly, what positive action has taken place to confront this catastrophe and initiate an immediate call to action for a solution to the world's worst environmental disaster?

Fukushima Radiation Poisoning infecting US  (http://www.whiteoutpress.com/articles/q22012/fukushima-radiation-poisoning-infecting-us573/)

May 17, 2012 Seattle
With all due respect to the criminal rights of the Japanese Fukushima utility company that oversaw the nuclear disaster in Japan last year, it is now an unquestioned fact that radiation from across the Pacific has spread and saturated the US.

Jet-Stream animation forecast
Given the concern by some regarding the possibility of some radioactive Fallout contamination making its way from Japan across the Pacific Ocean, 4,500 miles to California and the west coast of the United States (and beyond), here is the current forecast loop of the Jet Stream.

This is not intended to be alarmist in any way.

Rather, only showing what ‘could’ happen if enough ingredients come into play.

It is possible that some Cs-137 (Cesium) and-or iodine-131 from the Fukushima nuclear power plant meltdown could make its way into the Troposphere and get disbursed over the northern hemisphere, including the West Coast U.S.

The reality is that possible and could have changed to it did happen and 100's of radionuclides...

Arguments against any significant radiation making its way to the U.S.

•   Sufficient disaster would have to take place at Fukushima – total meltdown and release
•   YES, it happened at Reactors #1, #2, #3 and the #4 SFP

•   Particles would have to mix high enough into the atmosphere to ride along wind streams sufficient to travel the distance
•   YES, it happened when Reactor #3 aerosolized hundreds of kilos of Plutonium

•   Particles may be washed out into the ocean if there is precipitation
•   YES, there has been significant precipitation, including typhoons and rivers flowing freely through the entire complex

•   Local wind currents could keep the particles localized in Japan where they would wash out there
•   YES, Local wind currents could, but, alas, that is not the case.

•   Lesser amounts of particles will travel along lower elevation wind currents
•   YES, and larger amounts of particles will travel along higher elevation wind currents and affect not only North America, but Europe and Asia as well.

First, it was radioactive debris washing ashore in California.

Then it was food and machinery imported from Japan with high levels of radiation.

Then, polar bears and other wildlife in the US began suffering from radiation poisoning.

Now, hundreds of US flight attendants appear to be the latest American victims.

Giant radioactive debris field from Japan slowly crossing the Pacific Ocean and hitting the US.


Until now, Americans only had to contend with radioactive toys and electronics quietly being sold throughout the US on the discount market.

Add to that a little tainted Japanese food and some infected car parts, most of which were caught at the border, the US government thinks.

And don’t forget the polar bears – “the polar bears, daddy, the polar bears” (love that commercial).

Well, any chance at saving the world’s polar bears from extinction just went out the window.

As if the warming temperatures and disappearing ice and food weren’t bad enough, now the animal is plagued with skin sores and loss of fur, slowly dieing out from what appears to be radiation poisoning.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Alaska polar bears are losing their fur and U.S. Geological Survey scientists don't know why.

In the past two weeks, nine of 33 bears checked by scientists in the southern Beaufort Sea region near Barrow were found to have alopecia – loss of fur – and skin lesions, said Tony DeGange, chief of the biology office at the USGS Science Center in Anchorage.

Three of four bears inspected Thursday near Kaktovik showed the symptoms as well...

Alaska Airlines

That’s where the official, agreed-upon story ends.

According to officials and victims alike, a new mysterious illness afflicting the US airline industry has nothing to do with the nuclear explosions and resulting radiation emitted from the destroyed nuclear power plants in Fukushima, Japan.

As detailed in NaturalNews.com yesterday,

“Hundreds of Alaska Airlines flight attendants have filed a formal complaint about uniforms they suspect might be causing their skin to rash and develop lesions, and their hair to fall out.”

Still referring to it as a “mystery illness”, it appears nobody wants to be the one to put out a call for panic throughout the US.

Media outlets in Seattle were the first to put a spotlight on what they termed the “mystery illness” among Alaska Airlines flight attendants.

But even they wouldn’t point the finger at something as potentially deadly as radiation poisoning from Japan.    ::)


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Fukushima-Radiation-Hitting-US-Canada-More-Than-Japan.jpg)



So far, 280 flight attendants have been stricken with the ‘mystery illness’. Reports describe, “Those afflicted by the condition say they have developed persistently itchy skin, skin lesions, and hair loss.”

Blame the new uniforms
Surprisingly, the victims, their union and the media have all suggested that the mystery illness that looks identical to radiation poisoning, is actually a result of the airlines giving toxic uniforms to its flight attendants. Reports reveal that the new uniforms, “allegedly contain tributyl phosphate, a toxic organophosphorus compound linked to skin problems.”


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/radiationRainingDeath~0.png)


The theory is actually very believable.

The Bush administration poisoned 103,000 American families and wasted billions of dollars when it provided emergency, temporary housing to the millions of victims of Hurricane Katrina.

While government officials made matters worse by denying the allegations, the FEMA trailers were found to contain dangerously high levels of the toxic chemical formaldehyde.

So, the thought that hundreds of uniforms provided to flight attendants throughout the American northwest may also be tainted with deadly chemicals, isn’t so far-fetched.

At least that’s what the flight attendants union is suggesting.

FEMA Trailers For Sale -- GovernmentAuctions.org® (http://www.governmentauctions.org/fematrailers.asp)

Good News!

[...]

After the destructive hurricanes hit the Gulf Coast in August and September 2005, FEMA Spent more than $2.5 billion to buy up nearly 150,000 trailers, campers, and mobile homes, many of which were never even used.

In 2007, the government started to sell these travel trailers ... many were gobbling up the FEMA trailer deals rather that spending $25,000 to $40,000 for a brand-new trailer.

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/FEMATrailersLot3-1_sm.jpg)


After some time, however, a media storm hit with reports of formaldehyde in the construction of the trailers, and, in December 2007, "out of an abundance of caution" and because Congressional leaders expressed outraged, the Government suddenly stopped selling the FEMA Travel Trailers.

But demand for them had never died down.   :P

"There's a sucker born every minute." - David Hannum

Now -- after nearly a yearlong respite -- the FEMA trailers are back on sale.

 
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/FEMATrailersLotC_sm.jpg)

[...]
However, there is new batch ... for sale and these DO NOT seem to be designated as scrap, but are simply being sold with a warning that they are manufactured with formaldehyde and have not been tested.

While the government has stated that any "scrap" FEMA Trailers should not be used for occupancy and are not intended for habitation -- and we certainly do not advocate their use for anything other than scrap -- a FEMA Release posits that the trailers are suitable for other non-occupancy uses such as for office space, command posts, or storage...

Rumor has it that Anonymous acquired trailers and donated a few in the name of We, the People... :P

Title: Re: The World Must Take Charge at Fukushima
Post by: thorfourwinds on May 18, 2014, 04:47:00 pm
(continued from previous post)

A culture of denial
More than a month ago, researchers at AlaskaPublic.org began releasing their findings and documentation showing a massive epidemic of disease among the arctic’s polar bears. Symptoms included mysterious skin lesions and patchy hair loss.

The study also revealed that polar bears weren’t alone.

The mystery illness had also devastated the seal and walrus populations as well. Rather than alert the world to the obvious, considering the timing and symptoms, government officials instead blamed everything but radiation. They called it a virus, bacteria, even a natural occurrence.

But they still won’t acknowledge the die-off is most likely due to radiation poisoning from Fukushima.

Many external agencies have detected high levels of radiation (http://www.agoracosmopolitan.com/news/headline_news/2013/04/28/5776.html/) in food items, clothes, and even the sea water in the West Coast of the US.

Researchers have even found that many of the sea animals have been affected by radiation poisoning.


(http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w400/thorfourwinds/April%2016-30%202013/1SeaLion.jpg)

An article published in Rense.com talks about how a dead sea lion, which was found lying in the Southern California Coast, was discovered to be radioactive. The article tells us the alarming level of radiation detected in its remains.

“A quick scan with a dosimeter revealed that the sea lion was radioactive. More careful measurements disclosed a shocking 0.48 microsieverts in the heart and liver region. The second most affected area was its rear flippers, probably due to repeated contact with fecal excretions. The nose and mouth were a bit less contaminated.”

Very high radiation readings near its heart and liver. (photo courtesy rense.com)


Consider the fact that the Earth rotates and everything that happens in Japan will slowly move across the Pacific Ocean and hit the US. Also consider that the first area in the US to be struck with radioactive debris was the west coast.

The mystery illness devastating the polar bears, seals and walruses is also currently hitting western North America - Alaska and Canada’s Yukon territory.

Now consider that the first mass human infections are taking place among Alaska Airline workers.

Coincidence?

The rest of the story

While we’re covering the topic of possible radiation poisoning of American flight attendants due to the nuclear catastrophe in Fukushima last year, here are a few more related news items generally being kept from the American people.

   •   Tests by Cal State University Long Beach on California’s Kelp population found the fish caught just off the Orange County coast had levels of radio-isotopes 250 times higher than before the Japanese nuclear accident. Scientific American 3/30/12.

   •   US grass, hay and milk is contaminated with more than double the legal amount of radiation. 3 recent studies of milk purchased in San Francisco found all three batches contaminated with radio-isotopes. Scientists explained that milk will have a long-term contamination rate (2-30 years depending on specifics), because the nuclear fallout infects the grass and hay that dairy cows eat for years. Energy News 4/16/12.

   •   Rainwater falling throughout the US has tested positive for radiation poisoning at 131 times the government recognized safe level. As scientists point out, ‘the rainwater coats the grass that cows eat, thus infecting the cow’s milk with radiation poisoning’. BayCitizen.org.

   •   100 million tons of radiation-infected debris is continually washing ashore on America’s west coast. Items traveling the 4,500 mile distance across the Pacific took 280 days to begin hitting the US after the Fukushima nuclear disaster and include a wide array of debris including, ‘wrecked fishing vessels to household furniture and even body parts.’ UK Daily Mail 12/16/11.

With both the Japanese and US governments going to obvious and great lengths to avoid raising the panic of massive and widespread radiation poisoning throughout America, it’s not likely the true level of danger Americans are in will ever be officially revealed, or even acknowledged.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Hawaii_contamination.png)


What we do know is that just after the Fukushima nuclear explosions, a radioactive cloud struck the United States with the initial and largest impact hitting southern and central California. It is there that seaweed levels testing positive for the radioactive Iodine-131 showed levels 5-times that of any other location in the US.

And with the radiation being spread throughout America via rain – infecting people, vegetation and animals – this problem is not isolated on the west coast.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/RadiationRain580~0.png)


According to experts, cancers and other effects from low-level, prolonged exposure to radiation will spike across the US over the next 9 years. And if Chernobyl is any indication, where 3 million people were victims of radiation poisoning, the Fukushima disaster was many times larger than Chernobyl.


Americans can take heart however, the government is on the case.    :P

Federal officials are already desperately trying to change official guidelines governing radiation poisoning, raising the level of acceptable radiation.

That way, regardless of how much radiation infects the US, they can say it is within the safety level and poses no threat.   :P

While that is going on, victims will be paying close attention to the number cancer cases over the coming decade.

Unfortunately, that’s how long it will take to prove which side is telling the truth.

Caught On Camera: Fire At Fukushima? (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-05-20/caught-camera-fire-fukushima)

We are by no means experts at identifying instances of fire caught on camera under low illumination conditions, but the following compressed 3 minute video from the official Tepco YouTube feed (where 1 second of the clip represents 20 seconds in real time) showing the Fukushima nuclear power plant between 8:00pm and 9:00 pm last night, and particularly the segment 1:16 into the clip and continuing for about 30 seconds (or about 6 minutes in the real world), certainly looks disturbing.

That said, we are confident Tepco has a canned and ready for dissemination explanation which soothes away fears that in addition to free gamma rays, the Fukushima sarcophagus is now also in the flambé a la carte business.
We can't wait to hear it.

The Video On Fukushima
That Breaks The Information Blockade!

FUKUSHIMA Never Again
English version: 57:40 (2012) - Japanese section with English Subtitle
Japanese version: 57:11 (2012) - English section with Japanese Subtitle

“Fukushima, Never Again” tells the story of the Fukushima nuclear plant meltdowns in northeast Japan in March of 2011 and exposes the cover-up by TEPCO and the Japanese government.

This is the first film shown in the United States that interviews the mothers of Fukushima, nuclear power experts and trade unionists who are fighting for justice and the protection of the children and the people of Japan and the world.

The residents and citizens were forced to buy their own geiger counters and radiation dosimeters in order to test their communities to find out if they were in danger.

The government said contaminated soil in children’s school grounds was safe and then when the people found out it was contaminated and removed the topsoil, the government and TEPCO refused to remove it from the school grounds.

It also relays how the nuclear energy program for “peaceful atoms” was brought to Japan under the auspices of the US military occupation.

It also looks at the criminal cover-up of the safety dangers of the plant by TEPCO and GE management, which built the plant in Fukushima.

Included is an interview with Kei Sugaoka, the GE nuclear plant inspector from the bay area who exposed cover-ups in the safety at the Fukushima plant and was retaliated against by GE.

This documentary allows the voices of the people and workers to speak out about the reality of the disaster and what this means not only for the people of Japan but the people of the world as the US government and nuclear industry continue to push for more new plants and government subsidies.

This film breaks the information blockade story line of the corporate media in Japan, the US and around the world that Fukushima is over.

Thirty-Five -Meter-High Tsunami May Hit Hokkaido Hokkaido's Pacific coast, the Yomiuri Shimbun reported,
may be hit by tsunami as high as 35 meters if a massive earthquake strikes near Hokkaido,
according to an interim report by an expert panel at the Hokkaido Disaster Management Council.

The experts, led by Minoru Kasahara, a professor emeritus at Hokkaido University, raised the maximum
predicted magnitude of an earthquake near Hokkaido from 8.6 to 9.1 based on sediments
collect from past tsunami.
[Source: Yomiuri Shimbun, April 22, 2012]

“As a result, the maximum height of the tsunami could be as high as 35.1 meters at Tokachi Port
in Hiroo, Hokkaido.

The figure exceeds the Cabinet Office's 34.4-meter predicted height for a tsunami in Kuroshio, Kochi Prefecture,
in the event of a massive quake in the Nankai Trough.

According to the projections, a tsunami of 30 meters or higher could strike five towns in Hokkaido,
while a tsunami between 20 meters and 30 meters could hit another six cities and towns, including Kushiro. [Ibid]

 “In the panel's simulations, the epicentral area of the massive earthquake was estimated to be in areas
off northern Sanriku to the Nemuro coast.

It is presumed that a magnitude-8 earthquake will occur about every 500 years at the boundary
of the tectonic plate extending from areas off Tokachi to areas off Nemuro.

The Hokkaido government had previously predicted that the largest possible earthquake would have
a magnitude of 8.6 and trigger a tsunami with a maximum height of 22 meters

 However, based on lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake, institutions have begun
forecasting the worst possible earthquakes that may occur once every several hundreds of years,
or every 1,000 years. [Ibid]

Published on Nov 24, 2013

A new study of the effects of radioactive fallout from Fukushima (http://www.jimstonefreelance.com/frontview.jpg) on the health of babies born in California shows a significant excess of hypothyroidism caused by the radiation travelling 5,000 miles across the Pacific. The article will be published next week in the Open Journal of Pediatrics.

Fukushima Fallout Damaging California Babies - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAnFtyHLDUU0)


Fukushima Radiation Damages Thyroid Glands Of California Babies | Collective-Evolution (http://www.collective-evolution.com/2013/12/16/fukushima-fallout-damages-thyroid-glands-of-california-babies/)

16 December 2013

A study published in the peer-reviewed Open Journal of Pediatrics (http://www.scirp.org/journal/ojped/) has found that radioactive Iodine from Fukushima has caused a significant increase in hypothyroidism among babies in California.(1)

Even though Japan is 5000 miles across the Pacific Ocean, the study found that elevated airborne beta levels on the West Coast are directly correlated with this common trend among newborn babies after the Fukushima nuclear meltdown.

Congenital hypothyroidism is rare, but serious. It normally affects one child in every 2000, which can now be expected to rise. All babies born in California are monitored at birth for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels in blood, since high levels indicate hypothyroidism.

Using data obtained from the State of California over the period of the Fukushima explosions, researchers examined congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in newborns and compared data for babies exposed to radioactive Iodine-131 and born between March 17th and Dec 31st 2011 with unexposed babies born in 2011 before the exposures as well as those born in 2012.

Confirmed cases of hypothyroidism increased by 21% in the group of babies that were exposed to excess radioactive iodine in the womb.

44.2 percent of 94.975 sampled Fukushima children have had thyroid ultrasound abnormalities as a likely results of their exposure to radiation.(2)(3)

Although less than three years have elapsed since the meltdown, health effects of low-dose exposures from fallout should be analyzed, especially for those in the earliest stages of life. Health status measures after March 2011 such as infant deaths, neonatal deaths, birth defects, stillbirths, low weight births, premature births, and cancers in the first year of life can be analyzed.

Short-term findings of the young can serve as a warning about potential long-term adverse health effects on populations of all ages.  Fukushima fallout appeared to affect all areas of the US, and was especially large in some, mostly in the western part of the nation (2)

Only a few days after the meltdown, I-131 concentration levels in California, Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon and Washington were up to 211 times above the normal level.

21,100 %

At the same time, the number of congenital hypothyroidism cases increased dramatically, seeing a 16 percent increase from March 17 2011 to December 31 2011. In 36 other US states outside of the exposure zone, the risk of congenital hyperthyroidism decreased by 3 percent.

Researchers believe that this finding may serve as further proof that Fukushima has something to do with the unusually high results found on the West Coast.(1)

Radioactive iodine that enters into the body usually gathers in the thyroid, which releases growth hormones. Radiation exposure stunts growth of the body and the brain, and also leads to long-lasting effects which were studied during the Chernobyl nuclear power plant during its meltdown in 1986. 10 years after that incident, researchers at the National Institutes of Health found that higher absorption of I-131 radiation led to an increased risk of thyroid cancer among victims of the Chernobyl incident.


Japan is by order of magnitude,
many times worse than Chernobyl.


Never in my life would I think that 6 nuclear reactors would be at risk. I know the GE engineers that helped design these reactors, they resigned because they knew they were dangerous. Japan built them on an Earthquake fault. We are dealing with diabolical energy, this is the greatest public health hazard the world has ever witnessed – Dr Helen Caldicott


Here’s a video that sums up the situation quite well.

[youtube]eMmaduq-5bw[/youtube]


JAPAN NUCLEAR CRISIS: THE DANGERS OF RADIATION. DR. HELEN CALDICOTT. GlobalResearch.ca - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMmaduq-5bw)

I’m not trying to spread fear, nor am I afraid of what has happened in Fukushima, but when it comes to environmental disasters, the nuclear fallout at Fukushima has to be among the worst that has ever happened in the history of humanity.

At one point, over 300 tons of contaminated water had been flooding into the Pacific Ocean from this disaster every single day. Japanese experts estimate Fukushima’s fallout at 20-30 times as high as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombings.

There is definitely a lot we are not being told here, just like we weren’t with Chernobyl. Water continues to leak, and that area is still prone to an earthquake. Despite the magnitude and extent of this disaster, it’s not something to ignore, there are always steps and things we can do to create change.

Fukushima should be the last (out of many) experiences we need to help us realize that we don’t have to produce energy this way. Boiling water using nuclear energy in order to generate enough heat and steam to push a turbine is a very elementary way to generate energy. We have technologies that render nuclear power obsolete, like free energy (http://www.collective-evolution.com/2013/10/11/multiple-scientists-confirm-the-reality-of-free-energy-heres-the-proof/).

We’ve had multiple studies indicate the correlation between consciousness and our physical material world (http://www.collective-evolution.com/2013/12/05/the-illusion-of-matter-our-physical-material-world-isnt-really-physical-at-all/).

Thoughts, prayers and healing energy sent to Fukushima and the waters affected also helps. Incidents like the one at Fukushima are an indicator for us to  utilize the power of consciousness to heal the planet as well as ourselves, and to shift our means of producing energy to something better.
 
We still have a window of opportunity to change things; events like this should cause the entire collective to stop and at a stand still, stop with their daily routine, and just say enough is enough, it doesn’t have to be this way and there are better ways to do things here.

Fukushima's Children are Dying (http://www.nukefree.org/editorsblog/fukushimas-children-are-dying-0)

Some 39 months after the multiple explosions at Fukushima, thyroid cancer rates among nearby children have skyrocketed to more than forty times (40x) normal.

More than 48 percent of some 375,000 young people-nearly 200,000 kids-tested by the Fukushima Medical University near the smoldering reactors now suffer from pre-cancerous thyroid abnormalities, primarily nodules and cysts.

The rate is accelerating.

More than 120 childhood cancers have been indicated where just three would be expected, says Joseph Mangano, executive director of the Radiation and Public Health Project.

The nuclear industry and its apologists continue to deny this public health tragedy.

Some have actually asserted that "not one person" has been affected by Fukushima's massive radiation releases, which for some isotopes exceed Hiroshima by a factor of nearly 30.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/fukuchildrenfi.jpg)

More than 48 percent of some 375,000 young people—nearly 200,000 kids—tested by the Fukushima Medical University near the smoldering reactors now suffer from pre-cancerous thyroid abnormalities, primarily nodules and cysts.



But the deadly epidemic (http://ecowatch.com/2014/02/02/50-reasons-fear-fukushima/) at Fukushima is consistent with impacts suffered among children near the 1979 accident at Three Mile Island and the 1986 explosion at Chernobyl, as well as findings at other commercial reactors.

But a wide range of independent studies confirm heightened infant death rates and excessive cancers among the general population.

Excessive death, mutation and disease rates among local animals were confirmed by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and local journalists.

In the 1980's, federal Judge Sylvia Rambo blocked a class action suit by some 2,400 central Pennsylvania downwinders, claiming not enough radiation had escaped to harm anyone. But after 35 years, no one knows how much radiation escaped or where it went. Three Mile Island's owners have quietly paid millions to downwinders victims in exchange for gag orders.

At Chernobyl, a compendium of more than 5,000 studies has yielded an estimated death toll of more than 1,000,000 people.

The radiation effects on youngsters in downwind Belarus and Ukraine have been horrific. According to Mangano, some 80 percent of the "Children of Chernobyl" born downwinders since the accident have been harmed by a wide range of impacts ranging from birth defects and thyroid cancer to long-term heart, respiratory and mental illnesses.

The findings mean that just one in five
young downwinders can be termed healthy.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/messagefromFuku.jpg)

Physicians for Social Responsibility and the German chapter of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War have warned of parallel problems near Fukushima.

The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) has recently issued reports downplaying the disaster's human impacts. UNSCEAR is interlocked with the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency, whose mandate is to promote atomic power.

The IAEA has a long-term controlling gag order on UN findings about reactor health impacts.

For decades UNSCEAR and the World Health Organization have run protective cover for the nuclear industry's widespread health impacts. Fukushima has proven no exception.

In response, Physicians for Social Responsibility and the German International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War have issued a ten-point rebuttal, warning the public of the UN's compromised credibility. The disaster is "ongoing" say the groups, and must be monitored for decades. "Things could have turned for the worse" if winds had been blowing toward Tokyo rather than out to sea (and towards America).

There is on-going risk from irradiated produce, and among site workers whose doses and health impacts are not being monitored. Current dose estimates among workers as well as downwinders are unreliable, and special notice must be taken of radiation's severe impacts on the human embryo.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/snap-2014-06-10-at-23-06-53.png)


UNSCEAR's studies on background radiation are also "misleading," say the groups, and there must be further study of genetic radiation effects as well as "non-cancer diseases." The UN assertion that "no discernible radiation-related health effects are expected among exposed members" is "cynical," say the groups. They add that things were made worse by the official refusal to distribute potassium iodide, which might have protected the public from thyroid impacts from massive releases of radioactive I-131.


Overall, the horrific news from Fukushima can only get worse.

Radiation from three lost cores is still being carried into the Pacific. Management of spent fuel rods in pools suspended in the air and scattered around the site remains fraught with danger.

The pro-nuclear Shinzo Abe regime wants to reopen Japan's remaining 48 reactors. It has pushed hard for families who fled the disaster to re-occupy irradiated homes and villages.

But Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and the plague of death and disease now surfacing near Fukushima make it all too clear that the human cost of such decisions continues to escalate - with our children suffering first and worst.

Monday, 28 July 2014

We are appealing to all of you, students, activists, bloggers, podcasters, journalists, lawyers, doctors, stand up to help denounce and expose those pro-nuclear agents' illegal permanent harassment of Mari Takenouchi.


A Fukushima evacuee, single mother, Mari Takenouchi became a full-time independent journalist after 311, a beacon in the night calling attention to the plight of the Fukushima children, of the Fukushima evacuees and non-evacuees, calling for the protection and evacuation of the Fukushima Children.

She needs OUR HELP.


She is now under observation by some nuclear offices and agents, virtual and in real life. Those pro-nuclear agents are constantly harassing her, pressuring her, intimidating her, in their will to silence her.

We can make them stop, if we all denounce those illegal acts, on our blogs, podcasts, websites articles, bringing maximum exposure to their harassment, those pro-nukers will realize that their actions are counter-productive, that more they pressure her to silence her, more they will be bring attention to her cause worldwide and more international support for Mari Takenouchi, then they will have to reconsider and stop.

Due to the present Japanese Government politics and their recent State Secrecy Law, somehow most the Japanese people are presently scared to support her, to become involved and implicated.

It belongs to us, the foreign No Nukes activists (https://www.rebelmouse.com/fukushimainformations/650714939.html), to bring her our full and loud support, that is the least we can do for a lady who  has been courageously opposing and denouncing the activities of Nuclear lobby Ethos Project in Fukushima.

Mari needs our help, let's not abandon this lady to fight those crooks alone.

Thank you in advance for you future given support to Mari.

The same fate awaits the Japanese people and their children living in areas contaminated by the Fukushima disaster because the same strategy is being put in place in Japan with the same players, the same pseudo-scientific justifications and under the aegis of the same authorities.”:

Greetings Dear Reader:

Unfortunately, IRL situations have precluded our involvement in this issue to a great extent.

However, this great interview from a year ago with our friend and American patriot Christina Consolo (RadChick (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOtxx7zpyz0)) with Leuren Moret (http://exopolitics.blogs.com/peaceinspace/2010/03/leuren-moret-biography-independent-scientist-expert-witness-at-the-tokyo-international-tribunal-for-war-crimes-in-afghanist.html) and hosted by James Fetzer of Veteran's Today will set the stage for further discussion and participation.

Thank you for your time, consideration, patience and participation.

A Nuclear Bomb Explosion Versus A Nuclear Meltdown

Some ask why Hiroshima and Nagasaki were rebuilt and repopulated so soon after a nuclear bomb blast, yet Fukushima and Chernobyl remain unsafe to inhabit into the indefinite future.

The answer lies in the vast difference of irradiating potential between a nuclear bomb and a nuclear reactor.
Nuclear bombs are designed to cause maximum concussive damage within the shortest amount of time by creating as much energy as possible from a runaway nuclear fission reaction.

Nuclear reactors on the other hand are designed to create a low-level of energy from a very controlled and sustained nuclear fission reaction. The radioactive isotopes from the fission product mixture of a nuclear bomb are relatively short-lived (<50 years) whereas those from the meltdown of a nuclear reactor are long-lived and must be stored away safely for tens of thousands of years (essentially forever).

Approximate half-lives of some of the isotopes in the spent nuclear fuel are:
?
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/snap-2014-06-14-at-18-59-27.png)

The nuclear bombs used in World War II were detonated roughly 2,000 feet above ground and their radioisotopes were carried by the wind and dispersed over a very large area.

The nuclear bomb called “Little Boy” used over Hiroshima contained only 140 pounds of fissionable material (Uranium-235) and “Fat Man” used over Nagasaki contained just 14 pounds of Plutonium-239.

These are minute amounts of radioisotopes when compared to the 180 tons of nuclear fuel at Chernobyl and the staggering 1,600 tons at Fukushima.

Explosions and meltdowns at nuclear reactors occur at ground level, creating more radioactive isotopes due to neutron activation with the soils while spreading their radiation across the planet, year after year after year.

Today the background radiation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki is said to be the same as the global average anywhere on Earth.

Ground zero at Chernobyl and Fukushima won’t be habitable for 20,000 years or longer.

Nuclear bombs kill hundreds of thousands of people instantly while a nuclear reactor meltdown kills (thousands, millions ?) of people over years, decades, and generations.

Fukushima Documentary 2014 HD ? Nuclear Exodus: Pandora's Promise Was A Lie - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOelqGl2Ux0)

Published on Mar 25, 2014

Summary:
Following the unprecedented triple meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant after Japan's 3/11 earthquake and tsunami, a myriad of far reaching questions has arisen...??

What's the current state of the Fukushima nuclear reactors?

How much radiation have they already released?

What type of health impacts can we expect?

Is our seafood supply safe?

And what about the other 435 nuclear reactors around the world, 104 in the US alone - 22 of them the same exact design as those that exploded and melted down in Fukushima, are they safe??

Yet these are not easy questions to get answers to.

The mainstream media and the internet are full of conflicting viewpoints & information.


For example, UN scientists have already claimed that the health impacts of Fukushima will be negligible and statistically insignificant, which is parroted in CNN's documentary "Pandora's Promise".

However independent scientists tell a very different story; they project on the order of a million cancers within the next few decades in Japan alone.??So how does such a massive scientific discrepancy occur???

Nuclear Exodus explores the ties that inexorably bind the nuclear power industry to the military industrial complex, and how the lust for nuclear weapons causes governments to push nuclear power on their citizens, while covering up the true health effects of radiation exposure.

It delves deep into the legacy & lessons of Chernobyl, nuclear waste management, nuclear terrorism, & solar flares which could potentially trigger hundreds of nuclear meltdowns across the world - threatening life on Earth as we know it.


But can human civilization truly generate the electricity it needs without nuclear power, especially while reducing our energy dependence on fossil fuels? How far have renewable technologies come in 2014 exactly?

And if some cataclysmic disaster did threaten the world, would there be anyway to realistically protect life on Earth?

Could Mars actually be a feasible back-up planet anytime soon?

These questions and more are explored in great depth during Nuclear Exodus: Pandora's Promise Was A Lie.

(This is version 2.2, the most current and up to date version. It's been tightened up with some important new facts, plus enhanced audio & visuals!)

Back in Germany... jobs were hard to get, people were starving out of work and saw little hope...

Along came a genius by the name of Hitler... He was a powerful orator, had a lot of charisma and told the people what they wanted to hear...

He promised them JOBS... building his war machines

He promised them and affordable car... and gave them the Volks Wagon

He promised them new roads... and gave them the Autobahn with no speed limit

But most of all he showed them an enemy, those that put them into poverty.

Those things combined and the German people rallied to his support...

Until it was TOO LATE...

The ONLY one to blame for those psychopaths you speak of being in power is "We the people... (the Hu-mon Primates"

Well yeah, but that was in a paradigm I propose to leave.  A paradigm that supports being able to have the control over the People such that They need jobs to survive.  What power would Hitler have had if everyOne was living to the level of richness They prefer, taking pride and responsibility for Each's creation in the co-creation We are in?

Without that element of life and death power, afforded by the system that accounts for the energy We add to the system in meaningful ways, Hitler would have been like the guys on Their soap-boxes in the park.  And sure, some might be interested in trying to co-create with Him but the club would hold no power over People in general.

So yeah.  I happen to have a solution to the psychopaths, which I think, even though it's TAP, it's appropriate here to demonstrate the point that there IS a solution.

The mass manipulation of sheep.  I guess for the most part people need someone else to critically think for them.  People have listened for awhile about the Fukushima problem.  The media has dropped the subject and governments have whitewashed the news coming out of Japan.  A documentary I recently watched called "The Century of Self" was very interesting and could apply to how the people and governments have responded.  But the documentary does not apply directly to taking charge at Fukushima so I won't put it here.  It is a subject within itself.  It is 4 hours long so I downloaded it and watched it piecemeal.  It can be found here...

http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/

It would be an interesting subject itself.

Sure it does.  Remove the money motive and the impetus to raise Humans in such beliefs drops dramatically, the impetus to seek answers in Others' "leadership" drops as We are empowered unto Self, as expectation of better is no longer a hope for "another life" but available here and now.

What You seem to fail to grasp is the psychology shift that comes from having the choice to investigate all things One cares about personally, rather than hoping the corrupt system(s) will affect that change.  As We no longer must deal with People We don't like (that weirdo at work, that nasty boss, that obnoxious customer, ad infinitum).

Social superconductance goes a long way to changing the dynamic of Human interaction.

The American media hasn't covered Fukushima for a long time. But that doesn't mean there hasn't been any news. It just means that the  U.S. and Japanese governments have worked hard to cover it up.

Awareness is marvelous... but how many times can you tell a person he is doomed before he gets bored?

The bottom line here is that we can literally DO NOTHING about Fukushima... all we can do is try to stop FUTURE incidents like this (and they WILL come)

In the meantime until peoples toes fall off or they sprout a new limb, no one cares because they cannot see the damage or the long term effects... so they don't care

Sad it is but hu-mons have a short attention span.  I recall someone once measuring that for webpages. If you don't catch their attention in 30 seconds  they are outta there

Fukushima's children at centre of debate over rates of thyroid cancer (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/09/fukushima-children-debate-thyroid-cancer-japan-disaster-nuclear-radiation)

9 March 2014
Three years after the plant suffered a triple meltdown that released huge quantities of radiation into the atmosphere, medical authorities in Fukushima prefecture are reporting a significant rise in the number of thyroid cancer cases among local children and young adults...

Number of Fukushima kids with thyroid cancer jumps by 17 from December (http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/05/20/national/number-fukushima-kids-thyroid-cancer-jumps-17-december/#.VKhu30u1xSU)

20 May 2014
The Fukushima Prefectural Government has confirmed in a new report that 50 children in the prefecture have developed thyroid cancer, an increase of 17 from previous study last December, sources said Monday…

Thyroid Cancer in Young People Surge in Fukushima Since Nuclear Meltdown (http://ecowatch.com/2014/08/25/thyroid-cancer-fukushima/)

25 August 2014
104 of the area’s 300,000 young people who were under 18 at the time of the disaster have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, Japanese newspaper The Asahi Shinbun reported yesterday. This form of cancer has been linked to radiation exposure...

Fukushima Children Thyroid Cancer Rate Continues To Rise (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-12-24/fukushima-children-thyroid-cancer-rate-continues-rise)

24 December 2014
Fukushima prefecture has been conducting regular checkups of over 360,000 people who were in Fukushima in March 2011 and were age 18 or under when the nuclear crisis struck.

As WSJ reported in August, a study by researchers in Fukushima prefecture found 57 minors in the prefecture have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer so far and another 46 are showing symptoms that suggest they may also have the disease.

Today, as The Japan Times reports, four more children are suspected of suffering from thyroid cancer in the latest survey bringing the total to 107 out of 385,000 now surveyed.

This is dramatically higher than the normal "between 5 to 11 cases per million people," that Okayama University professor Toshihide Tsuda cites for national statistics between 1975 and 2008.

Japan earthquake: Tsunami alert lifted, seismologists say quake was an 'aftershock' from 2011 disaster

Quote
Japan has lifted a tsunami advisory it issued for the north-eastern coast after a magnitude 6.9 earthquake, which seismologists said was an aftershock from the devastating March 2011 quake.

This morning small waves of 10 to 20 centimetres reached the coast off Iwate prefecture, 600 kilometres north of Tokyo, where Broadcaster NHK said thousands of residents had been ordered to evacuate.

"This quake is an aftershock of the 2011 quake that hit the Tohoku region," Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) seismologist Yasuhiro Yoshida told reporters.

Potential risk of internal exposure February 3, 2014


We sent dust samples from the closet of our TOKYO home to the laboratory and were told the dust contained over 6,000 Bq/kg worth of cesium 137, while as for the moss from our car park, we've got over 13,000 Bq/kg.

Legally the dust and the moss are categorized as nuclear waste and should be treated accordingly.

So my wife rang TOKYO's ward office about the dust and the moss but was told NOT to worry as you're NOT going to eat a whole kilogram of house dust or moss.

We have a 3-year-old and although at this stage it's NOT likely that he's going to eat either the dust or the moss, we're NOT sure what else is lurking around in the surrounding environment.

We also know that from the sand in the nearby playground TOKYO's ward office found approximate 800 Bq/kg.

Are we just being paranoid at the unlikely risk of our child falling over and accidentally inhaling some random particles?

Is this something we can forget and NOT bother about?

Many thanks always for the informative threads and links.

Fukushima and the Minister of Human Extinction (http://alltheemperorsmen.com/fukushima.html)

Fukushima and the Minister of Human Extinction
by Garry Greenwood (http://www.culthelp.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5691&Itemid=11)


Should we be worried by a Japanese doomsday cult awaiting its nuclear global Armageddon at this point in history?


Its “divine revelations” demand one.
 
“Although Ningen (sub humans – that’s you and me) eagerly seek peace and coexistence and dislike the atomic bomb, the production of fire balls in this world cannot be stopped.  God will make man produce the fireballs and bullets…they (that’s you and me again) are just like radish to be grated.”  P. 188-190 revealed August 15, 1963.

“This is the End of the World.” P. 138-139 revealed August 20, 1961.

“Earth must be burnt away with the Ball of Fire in order for God to descend from Heaven… and carry out the Art of beating them to a pulp.”  P. 159 revealed August 5, 1962.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/fukupic.jpg)


"Welcome to your new future and to the world of Sukyo Mahikari – Japan’s fastest growing state-sponsored doomsday cult. This supremacist cult has your future already in its hands."

The above words represent a mere sample of the doomsday and supremacy ideology to be found within the pages of their holy book of “divine revelations’ the Goseigen, from which members of this cult obtain their succour, justification, future directions and arrogance meanwhile setting the future course for humankind. These revelations come from the highest most powerful god this nation could conjure up. Don’t mess with him.

“The ultimate result will be the destruction of the earth. All must end up in destruction and separation. Therefore god's kingdom has been symbolised by KAGOME.” P. 280 revealed October 11, 1966. (Kagome is the Star of David symbol – of those who will be saved)

I am presenting the samples set out above since I have a copy of Goseigen and I have read it many times over. I was a high-ranking member of this cult for around ten years. All cult members have a copy and know it thoroughly.

It’s their duty to. It’s their bible – their script which they must faithfully follow…

“I must change the surface of the earth into the sea of fire...I cannot but exert the great compensation phenomena to the masses on this planet” P. 173 revealed January 15, 1963.

Fukushima: The Final Battlefield (http://alltheemperorsmen.com/abe731movie.html)

SYNOPSIS – THE STORY:

Japanese Yakuza are secretly rounding up homeless men (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2511308/Yakuza-forcing-homeless-people-work-Fukushima-nuclear-plant-clear-up.html) on the streets of Tokyo and forcing them to work on the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant. In vain and at great danger to themselves they toil relentlessly in the crippled plant. It’s obviously a hopeless and lethal task.

PM Shinzo Abe prays fervently at the Yasukuni Shrine (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/japan/11031805/Yasukuni-Shrine-the-14-Class-A-war-criminals-honoured-by-Japan.html) wherein the millions of ancestor spirits of those who died whilst fighting for the divine Emperor during the Second World War are enshrined. Also, Japan’s most notorious war criminals are buried here.
Abe swears that one day he will avenge the spirits of all those enshrined here.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Yasukuni_Shrine_201005.jpg)


Glancing through the Shrine’s visitor book he smiles when he sees that several ruling Liberal Democratic Party members (LDP) have also signed it. His smile broadens even further when he is greeted by one of the Shrine’s priests – a close friend of the leader of the nation’s fastest growing doomsday cult, Sukyo Mahikari.

Abe has a deep admiration for this occult cult and regularly sends his congratulations or a representative on their special occasions.

Its founder, Yoshikazu Okada, was a great and powerful militarist who owned a huge munitions factory during the war. He was also a friend of the Imperial family, something that Abe hopes to achieve someday.

In the meantime he can only fantasize about his divine supremacy calling by being photographed in his jet fighter plane. He knows that his days of glory will surely come just as, Yoshikazu Okada, the cult’s leader had his day in the sun as a military strategist during the glorious Nanjing incident (Rape of Nanjing).


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/maskedgirl_baby_doll.jpg)


Abe also reflects upon those happy days when he would sit on his grandfather’s knee listening as his grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi, recounting his glory days in Manchuria as its main administrator and as a high ranking militarist wherein he helped establish the secret military unit #731 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731)- a unit dedicated to creating the most advanced methods of mass destruction imaginable.

He was also the wartime Minister of Munitions and established Japan’s clandestine nuclear weapons program. “It’s just not right that grandfather Kishi was arrested as a war criminal. People simply don’t understand.” Nobusuke Kishi obviously had a great influence upon the young Abe.

“How unfair the world has become. After all didn’t we save China from western imperialism?”
ponders PM Abe,

“If only we could have succeeded in our mission to save the world then.  Too bad about the tens of millions of Chinese who got in the way.”

Out of respect for his beloved grandfather and the glorious Japanese military, Shinzo Abe has the numerals 731 painted on his jet fighter and gives the world a big “thumbs up” or “you can trust me” gesture (see photo).


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/abe731pic.jpg)


Meanwhile, far out in the South China Sea on the tiny and disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu Islets, Abe’s long-serving colleague, Shintaro Ishihara, leader of the New Restoration Party (nuclear re-armament party) and ex-mayor of Tokyo is challenging the might of the Chinese navy hoping for some form of military retaliation in order to justify the nuclear re-arming of Japan.

His last major challenge whilst still mayor of Tokyo was the incineration of thousands of tons of highly radioactive rubble from the areas close to Fukushima which were devastated in the recent tsunami.

Thousands of tons of radioactive smoke was dispatched high into the atmosphere on its long journey eastwards.

“If only we could draw the US into this conflict with China, too. Oh, how this would avenge our ancestor spirits at the Yasukuni Shrine. God would be so happy”

he thinks as he bravely stares down the Chinese gunboats circling about.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Sheeple928R29_dees~0.jpg)


Shintaro Ishihara is used to conflicts. He was once on a sure path to becoming a Japanese Prime Minister himself, that is, until his deep involvement with the murderous Aum Shinri Kyo cult was uncovered forcing him to abandon his parliamentary aspirations and lie low for some years.

But nowadays a good PR makeover can undo almost anything. He feels contentment towards his Aum days as they did smuggle great quantities of nuclear weaponry out of the crumbling Soviet Union after all.

They almost got the Armageddon they were seeking.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/What-is-the-battle-of-Armageddon.png)

PM Abe notices Shintaro Ishihara’s name in the Yasukuni Shrine’s visitor book too and briefly wonders how his divine campaign in the South China Sea is progressing.

It can be a small world for those at the top – the ruling elite, as Shintaro Ishihara is a longstanding member and personal friend of Yoshikazu Okada, the founder of the Sukyo Mahikari cult too.

Okada, too, was well connected to most Japanese Prime Ministers of that era whilst his personal confidante and second in command of the cult was a convicted war criminal.

“Those 33 captured US airmen should have shown us more respect.

Just because Japan had already surrendered before we decapitated them doesn’t mean a thing.

They were our enemy.

We will have our revenge one day.
God is with us.
We are the chosen ones.”



(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/tokyo3eyeoverlay_580~0.jpg)


PM Shinzo Abe looks kindly upon the Ishihara family because of their loyal and longstanding support, so in order to express this appreciation Shintaro Ishihara’s son, Nobuteru Ishihara, himself a high-ranking LDP politician is given the prized cabinet position as the new Minister for the Environment, Nuclear Reactors and Minister responsible for decommissioning the destroyed Fukushima nuclear power station.

The ruling elite is well pleased with this appointment since many believe this role was bestowed upon him directly by God himself since Nobuteru Ishihara is a senior member of the Sukyo Mahikari doomsday cult too. This cult is desperately awaiting its Armageddon as it can’t fulfill its promises and mission until the Armageddon has taken place leaving only the chosen ones left to re-establish the new (Japanese) civilization.

Nobuteru Ishihara is more than familiar with his cult’s holy bible and studies it often just as his father does: 

"Although sub humans eagerly seek peace and coexistence and dislike the atomic bomb, the production of fire balls in this world cannot be stopped.

God will make man produce the fireballs and bullets…
This is the End of the World.
Earth must be burnt away with the Ball of Fire in order for God to descend from Heaven…"


Nobuteru Ishihara deeply ponders the holy words which now seem to be speaking to him personally as a chosen one and wonders how he might serve his God more directly in these troubled times of the Fukushima catastrophe.

When the tsunami struck on that God-ordained day it was initially considered to be a sign from God that he was unhappy with the people of Japan – a divine retribution.

“But what if that isn’t so?” Nobuteru Ishihara is thinking.
 
“What if God is showing us the way to the new holy civilisation as prophesised in our holy revelations?

What if this is the beginning of the promised Armageddon?

What if we simply let the divine plan unfold as God had intended?”



(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/plume-28R29.jpg)


Although the end of the world is approaching, those who are serving with sincerity shall be forgiven.

Now convinced that they are the chosen ones who will be saved no matter what, PM Abe and his cabinet act quickly.

Firstly, they pass laws prohibiting any discussion, publication and dissemination of any news relating to the Fukushima catastrophe.

Easily done - mission accomplished - problem solved and now God’s divine plan (Armageddon) is free to plays out as God wishes.

“Oh, how blessed we are - the chosen ones.

After all, we are the most superior and benevolent race.

How God must love us to choose us to be the main players in such a long-anticipated event.

Let God choose who will live and who will die from the radiation which he allows to spew forth from the destroyed Fukushima plant for as long as he chooses.

"It is not for us to interfere” think the ruling elite as they pour over charts showing the radiation flowing forever eastward and unstoppable.

“God truly does work in mysterious ways.”

On a deserted beach somewhere in California, USA, a lonely figure can be seen walking slowly and erratically. He is holding and studying something in the palm of his hand. He moves it about in a most strange way.

It’s making a strange clicking noise…

Britain's Prince William visits Fukushima with Japanese premier

(http://dalje.com/slike/slike_3/r1/g2015/m02/x281385933684151453.jpg)

Quote
Tokyo (dpa) – Britain's Prince William on Saturday travelled to areas of north-eastern Japan affected by the nation’s worst-ever nuclear accident four years ago alongside Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

The duke of Cambridge, who arrived Thursday on his first-ever visit to Japan, met children at an athletic facility in Motomiya city, which opened in July 2012 after the nuclear disaster to offer a safe haven amid radiation fears.

William later tasted Japanese cuisine made from local ingredients at a dinner hosted by the premier at an inn in Koriyama, 70 kilometres from the ravaged Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.

The plant suffered a triple meltdown after it was hit by a huge earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. About 120,000 people are still unable to return home due to radiation contamination.

“I’m almost in tears. Such a great person has come here,” one woman told Japanese broadcaster FNN, referring to the prince.

William is scheduled to visit Ishinomaki city and Onagawa town in the north-east on Sunday, tsunami-stricken areas, before leaving for China.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission agrees w/international study that shows any exposure of the eyes to radiation can increase the possibility of cataracts, but ignores all the other health implications put forth by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Japan approves 40-year Fukushima clean-up plan despite not knowing where the melted fuel is, if it can even be removed and, if so, what it will take, plus needing to invent and build all the proper decontamination equipment from scratch.

40 years just kicks the can down the road.

FUKUSHIMA RADIATION ALREADY KILLING AMERICANS July 15 2014 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1z_Ip8XGDs)

Published on Jul 15, 2014
EXCLUSIVE: FUKUSHIMA RADIATION ALREADY KILLING AMERICANS AND HOW OTHERS ARE FIGHTING BACK

•Majority of Hawaii patients already testing 100% positive for Cesium 137

•Ohio Man tests positive for Cesium and Plutonium poisoning

•Doctors reporting promising results with Natural Supplement to Mitigate Fukushima Effects
By Alexander Backman for Conciencia Radio®
Source: http://concienciaradio.com/fukushima/...
 
CR NEWS -- JULY 15,2014- An extremely reliable source whose identity we have decided to keep confidential for the time being just informed us that she spoke with friends in Hawaii on the phone for over an hour and the told the informant that they have lost four family members to cancer just in the past year. They said that two of them were in their early twenties.

The source told me that he spoke with a physician in Hawaii last week and the physician told the source that 100% of his patients are testing positive for Cesium 137.

Ohio Man Tests Positive for Radioactive Poisoning after Eating Sardines
Earlier in the year, our source informed us of a similar case of radioactive poisoning of a man living not in Hawaii but here in the CONUS (Continental United States). The man who got sick lives in Columbus Ohio. He started losing weight and feeling sick. He decided to visit the Doctor. The Doctor ran some tests.

The tests showed positive for Cesium 137 (Cs) and Plutonium (Pu) accumulating in significant amounts around and inside his organs. The Doctor asked him what he had been eating for the past 2 months. After running a list and cross-checking the items of consumption by the affected man, they realized that the only logical source of him getting ill was when he went to Trader Joe's and bought two sardine cans and ate them.

I called Trader Joe's in Columbus, Ohio and asked about their own brand of sardines. They have four different types on their shelves. After further digging to know which type of sardines might be radioactive, I found that depending on the type of Trader Joe sardine, they could come from both the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean.

The Trader Joe's sardines in water are fished off the Pacific coast of Canada. Other ones like the ones in Olive Oil or smoked are either from Portugal or Morocco and therefore come from the Atlantic Ocean.

HOW AMERICANS CAN NOW FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE NUCLEAR FALLOUT FROM FUKUSHIMA

Thankfully, there is one solution to get rid of the radioactive isotopes being ingested in a safe and natural manner.

PCR is a new product specifically designed to get rid of the radioactive elements coming out of Fukushima. PCR is a 100% natural supplement with a special formula developed by Maxam Labs in Oregon and is successfully being used to detox people showing up positive for Cesium, Iodine, Arsenic, Cadmium, Plutonium and many other heavy metals including such as Aluminum and Mercury.

In Maryland, doctors have informed the lab about the product's results.

Even doctors are running tests on themselves after showing positive for radioactive elements in their bloodstream. 'We are just dumping the Plutonium out of our bodies', said one source.

Urine tests practiced on patients consuming the PCR in Maryland show the Plutonium and Cesium being successfully excreted in their urine. PCR is excreted 85% via the feces, 10% via urine and the remaining via sweat and breath.

Another case is of Doctors doing their Residency in Southern California testing the PCR and the results showed the count levels of radioactive elements dropping sharply in a matter of two or three weeks.

A great and effective solution to mitigate the effects of the fallout form Fukushima is available now at an affordable price for anyone that is being affected by the worst nuclear disaster in history.

Go to this address http://alexanderbackman.com/pcr and get your PCR now.

Its to hope that the Hawaii and US Citizens can be informed of the realities of what has and is happening in relation to how Fukushima is effecting them and things in their Country.

I wonder if anyone is aware if they can obtain Fish such as tinned Salmon that does not come from Alaska or the Pacific.

Since Fukushima occurred..in Mar 2011..not long after I stopped eating Salmon.

Whenever I go in the shops..ALL tinned salmon is either labeled as being from the Pacific or Alaska.

Salmon do exist in the Atlantic and elsewhere..so I wonder why they do not sell it coming from these other areas ? 

Russia is claimed to have the cleanest Salmon in the Bearing Sea..but thats as of this article in 2012..
and that is closer to Fukushima than Alaska.

http://eatandbeatcancer.com/2012/04/26/salmon-says-an-anti-cancer-investigation-what-kind-is-healthiest-part-6-canned-salmon

On a quick online search there does not seem much that suggests other options as to where we can obtain tinned Salmon from other areas other than the pacific..

But there must be many other areas around Russia that are less effected where it could be sold from the other Countries worldwide.



Quote
Here’s the list you’ve been waiting for. Note the source of the salmon. (Remember the cleanest is Bering Sea, then northern BC and southern Alaska.)http://eatandbeatcancer.com/2012/04/26/salmon-says-an-anti-cancer-investigation-what-kind-is-healthiest-part-6-canned-salmon/

Epidemic of sea mammal deaths explodes as Fukushima radiation contaminates one-third of the earth - NaturalNews.com (http://www.naturalnews.com/050844_Fukushima_radiation_marine_life.html)

Wednesday, August 19, 2015
by: David Gutierrez, staff writer

(NaturalNews) Dead and dying sea mammals continue to wash ashore at unusual and alarming rates along the California coast. Scientists are stumped, suggesting that the cause may be food shortages caused by abnormally warm waters - but unsure of what has caused the ocean off the California coast to warm so rapidly.

Meanwhile, the radioactive plume released into the Pacific Ocean following the Fukushima nuclear disaster draws ever closer to North America's western coast. At the same time, radioactive material is still pouring into the sea from the Fukushima site. Could the ongoing radioactive poisoning of the Pacific and the dying of its marine mammals be related?
...

Three of five years since 2011 - the year of the Fukushima (http://www.naturalnews.com/Fukushima.html) disaster - have seen abnormally high numbers of sea lion strandings.

Mainstream scientists are not pointing the finger at radiation, however. Instead, they suspect that marine mammals are dying due to a food shortage caused by abnormally warm ocean temperatures. And they may have a point: Temperatures between San Francisco and Monterey are an astonishing 5 degrees warmer than normal for the time of year.

A third of the world poisoned?

Scientists do not know why the waters are so warm, and have not studied a possible contribution from the massive amount of radioactive material from the Fukushima disaster that is predicted to slam into the California coast some time in 2017. Without such a study, any connection may have to remain speculative.

What is certain, however, is that the massive release of radioactive (http://www.naturalnews.com/radioactive.html) material into the Pacific Ocean is likely to have dire ecological consequences.

"Every day, four hundred tons of highly radioactive water pours into the Pacific and heads towards the U.S.," renowned physician and anti-nuclear advocate Helen Caldicott warned in September 2014. "Because the radiation (http://www.naturalnews.com/radiation.html) accumulates in fish, we get that too.

The U.S. government is not testing the water, not testing the fish, and not testing the ambient air. Also, people in Japan are eating radiation every day."

What about the other two years? Did the radiation take vacations on those?

If the radiation is constant and the sea lion strandings is not, the natural conclusion is that they are not directly related.

Fukushima Leaks Hundreds of Tons of Radioactive Water – 82 Contaminated Waste Bags After Typhoon Etau Hits Japan

Flooding caused by Typhoon Etau has sent hundreds of tons of radiation contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the ocean, a Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco) spokesperson said. Rain overwhelmed the site’s drainage pumps, they added.

“The torrential downpour is threatening safety at the Fukushima nuclear plant, closed since the 2011 disaster, as it has overwhelmed drainage pumps at the site’s contaminated water treatment facility,” a Japanese government official told ABC News.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/jap_flood11sept1_.jpg)


More than 100,000 people have been evacuated and thousands of properties destroyed, after rare torrential rains saw a major river burst its banks north of Tokyo in Japan on Thursday.

A further 800,000 people across eastern Japan have been advised to evacuate after officials issued pre-dawn warnings of unusually harsh rainfall to 5 million people.

Tokyo Electric Power CO. (TEPCO) informed the public today that hundreds of tons of radioactive water had leaked from the facility, but maintained that the incident posed no risk to the environment.

Large quantities of contaminated water need to be stored in special reservoirs that were used to cool melted fuel rods from reactors at the TEPCO site, which was damaged by the earthquake and tsunami of 2011.

“For heavy rains, TEPCO has standard procedures to install rainwater guttering on the upper part of the water storage tanks and also to construct dikes around groups of tanks, which is applied to all of the recently added storage tanks,” said the statement adding that “the drainage systems on the premises are most active during heavy rains to keep the site from flooding.”

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/TepcoSpeak_copy.png)
for
"We don't have a friggin' clue."

Despite Tuesday’s statements asserting that the drainage system would protect the nuclear plant station and the operator company was ready to face the typhoon, today’s announcement would imply that TEPCO’s efforts weren’t enough.

What might One think happened to those 5 million (and counting) 'Black Rad Bags'?

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/black_bags_seashore-640_copy.png)
Fukbags neatly stored ...WTF...on the beach?


We noted a while back that storing these 'dirty bomb bags' on the seashore is not the best of ideas, but that's TEPCO and the Japanese government's underhanded plan to let them wash out to sea in the first big typhoon.

This is premeditated murder, IMHO, of course..

URGENT! - EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT (ELE)
THE PACIFIC OCEAN AND IT'S INHABITANTS ARE DYING FROM RADIATION CAUSED BY THE 2011 FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR DISASTER IN JAPAN!

STOP THE WATER & ENTOMB THE DAMN THING!

Fact is, nobody has the technology to even do anything and could take 100, 1000, 10,000 years?
 
We can't afford to wait.

The MASSIVE die offs of marine life washing up all over the West Coast is a HUGE signal.

The Earth is not dying, it is being killed.
 
The people killing it all have names and addresses.

12 September 2015
Bags filled with grass and soil from work to remove radioactive substances spewed by the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant were swept away in the flooding of rivers in Iitate, Fukushima Prefecture, the Environment Ministry said.

A total of 82 of the bags were discovered, with 37 of them recovered Friday, though it remained unclear how many had been washed away, the ministry said.

Scores of 1,000-liter bags were used during the cleanup work, mainly to store surface soil that had been contaminated from the release at the plant, which was heavily damaged in the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

Quote
Scores of 1,000-liter bags...

CLASSIC DISINFO!
The actual number of these FUKBAGS is somewhere between 5 and 10 MILLION...and many stored seaside…
WTF were they thinking?

 >:(  Hey Thor.
  Isn't it amazing the lack of media coverage and the lack of accurate info being broadcasted by the media.

  Man! Its hard to comprehend the mind that could come up with some of these ideas too. (the bags)
  As was stated above. This is premeditated murder. They obviously know where these bags will wind up.
 
  Its to bad no group is willing to step in and force the issue and take aggressive action to try and (at least) slow the dispersal of radioactive materials.

  I still think a nuke should be detonated below the site and the whole area pushed into the cavity and covered over. Yes this is drastic, but it would at least greatly slow the dispersal and if something is not done, its just going to get worse. Although its hard to believe it could be any worse.

  Even if the radiation could be stopped from exiting the site, it is still going to generate problems for years to come in a great many ways. Even without global warming and pollution, this one event could ruin the earths oceans and cause a cascading bio and ecological downfall that could lead to great extinctions. Even the extinction of human beings.  All it would take is a few mutated bacteria and/or viruses to be born.

  Now if we could grab the ears of the right people and jam the info in until its all they can think about and talk about. Maybe then something would be done.

  This lack of action makes one feel that this may be something they are trying to use and capitalize on. Like using it to send radioactive bag bombs our way and every way.  ???

 I guess I'll never understand just what's wrong with this human race. And in a way I suppose I should be glad about that. To understand them you would probably need to be more like them.  ;)

THANKS FOR KEEPING THE INFO FLYING.

The first official death from Fukushima radiation.

Quote
TOKYO — A man who developed leukemia after working on a cleanup crew at the ruined Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has been awarded workers’ compensation by the Japanese government, in what amounts to the first official acknowledgment that exposure to radiation at the disaster site may have caused cancer.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare said on Tuesday that the man, whom it did not identify by name, worked from October 2012 to December 2013 installing protective covers over damaged reactor buildings at the site.

Some of the dead men had no papers, others left no emergency contacts. Their names could not be confirmed and no family members had been tracked down to claim their remains.

They were simply labeled "decontamination troops" — unknown soldiers in Japan's massive clean-up campaign to make Fukushima livable again five years after radiation poisoned the fertile countryside.

The men were among the 26,000 workers — many in their 50's and 60's from the margins of society with no special skills or close family ties — tasked with removing the contaminated topsoil and stuffing it into tens of thousands of black bags lining the fields and roads. They wipe off roofs, clean out gutters and chop down trees in a seemingly endless routine"

Unprecedented Fishing Closure Hits Western Washington;; OBAMA & YOU KILLED THE PACIFIC OCEAN;;;

Most fishing in the Puget Sound area ground to a halt Sunday as the state’s federal fisheries permit expired midnight on April 30, a result of the ongoing impasse between the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commissions (NWIFC) on salmon fishing in western Washington.

WDFW officials have pledged to seek a new fisheries permit independent of tribes, however, are unable to predict when or if such a permit might be issued. In the meantime, the impact of the unprecedented closure has been felt not just among salmon anglers; all fishing is now off-limits in areas where salmon are likely to congregate.

This includes Lake Washington, as well as a number of other western Washington inland waters. Bass fishermen took to the WDFW Facebook page over the weekend to express their frustration at being caught in the tête-à-tête."
http://salmonuniversity.com/archives/...

"Wy-Kan-Ush-Pum: We are All Salmon People.
We can’t completely restore salmon alone, but the power of wy-kan-ush is reason for hope. The world over, salmon affect the cultures of the people in which they come in contact. The wildly different traditional cultures of Japanese Ainu, Pacific Northwest Coastal tribes, the Norwegian coastal areas, and the Russian Far East each have salmon returning to their lands and each share a reverence and gratitude for the bounty that salmon provide.

The modern Pacific Northwest is no different. Salmon have shaped the culture of the newcomers to this region just as they shaped tribal cultures before them. Salmon are the icon of this place.

They are valued as food, as a resource, and as a representation of the wildness and wilderness for which the Pacific Northwest is known. They shape our land use policies and power grid. Whether they realize it or not, every single person in the Northwest is a Wy-Kan-Ush-Pum.

We are all Salmon People.

Let us all work together to protect and restore salmon—this fish that unites us."

http://www.critfc.org/salmon-culture/...

Anglers expressed outrage at the potential loss of a season of salmon fishing, laying the blame for the breakdown in negotiations at the feet of tribal co-managers

“We especially want to express our appreciation for the effort of WDFW Director Jim Unsworth as he attempted to make the North of Falcon co-management process a success,” said Pat Pattillo, former WDFW policy fish management biologist.

“Unfortunately, the tribes refused to consider WDFW’s very reasonable plan that called for the tribes to craft similarly conservative seasons for their own fisheries.”

Beached pelagic red crabs at Crystal Cove, Orange County, May 2016

Fukushima nuclear waste annihilates Pacific ecosystem (http://www.rense.com/general96/fukunucpacific.html)

"Strolling over the cliffs in Southern California, I looked down at a white-sand beach pimpled with a crimson rash along the high-tide line. Close up, the red dots turned out to be hundreds of thousands of thumb-sized crustaceans of the species Pleuroncodes planipes that resemble tiny lobsters.

Most of those pelagic red crabs or langostilla, also known as tuna crabs, were sprawled dead on the sand, tangled in strands of kelp or alive but listless inside the rocky tide pools. The crustaceans appeared to be in fresh, without signs of injury or disease, and there was no stench of the fish market."

(http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w400/thorfourwinds/2redcrab18.jpg)
Dosimeter reading of red crab, 0.7 points above human safety level

"Seagulls had left the smaller limbs at the water’s edge but soon quit the all-you-can eat buffet, indicating their ability to detect a hidden toxin. The langostilla kill-off cannot be called an act of nature since my dosimeter detected radiation levels of between 0.12 microSieverts per hour and 0.18 micSv in their bodies. The official safety level for human health set by the pro-nuclear government of Japan is 0.11. Considering the difference in body weight and the water content in their flesh, these marine creatures were terminated by radioactive exposure."

Word.

"The demise of marine life is caused by a misplaced faith in science of a non-oceanic species called homo sapiens, which parasites off nuclear reactors to light and cool their own hermitages."

(http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w400/thorfourwinds/nuclear%20risk%20san%20onofre%20500.jpg)

"The nearby San Onofre facility and distant Fukushima have both been spilling radioactive wastewater onto these magnificent shores of Southern California.

It is astonishing how humans are as psychologically stunted as hermit crabs, wallowing in greed, myopia and acedia. Predatory cruelty is indelibly stamped on our character, for it is the brute impulse that led to the original sin of rejecting our obligation to stewardship over life on Earth.

As radioactivity and pollution annihilate the mother ocean, we come to understand, that without the strong safeguard of ethical principles, science is a just sharp instrument for robbery, bloodshed, cannibalism and moral lobotomy."

And the continuing die-offs in the Pacific Ocean cannot be denied.

“The entire northern hemisphere of the world is affected by radioactive fallout from Japan,” says Dr. Robert J. Gilbert, a former U.S. Marine Corps Instructor in Nuclear-Biological-Chemical Warfare Survival.

Here is his breakdown of the dangers:

• Most Serious Areas: Japan, Pacific Ocean, and Pacific Rim States

• Most Contaminated Food Areas of North America: Entire Pacific Coast, Northern U.S. States close to Canada, Canadian areas close to the U.S., Eastern States, Central States of the U.S., and Far Northern areas of Canada.

• Non-Food Products: Radioactive contamination is being found on non-food products being imported from Japan.

• Most Affected Food Products: All Ocean-Derived Products from the Pacific Ocean, All Dairy Products, Broad-Leaf Plants with a large surface area such as Salad Greens, Spinach, Cabbage etc.

• Water: From Rainwater or Open Lake type catchments

Why is this milk contamination significant?

Milk, of course, typically represents the overall condition of the food chain because cows consume grass and are exposed to the same elements as food crops and water supplies.

In other words, when cow's milk starts testing positive for high levels of radioactive elements, this is indicative of radioactive contamination of the entire food supply.

The attitude of those happy cows in California will turn very sour if they are forced to eat radiated grass. Bovine News Today (http://cattle-today.com) is reporting that the cows will strike (and withhold further production) if radioactive fallout from the Japanese nuclear triple melt-throughs continues to rain down on their beloved California grasslands.

Clarabelle Cloven Hoof, spokesperson for the local Bovine Union #238, had this to say, “It’ll be a cold day in the pasture before we eat radiated grass and poison all those beloved kiddies who depend upon our quality control.”

Peer-Reviewed Study: Fukushima Xenon Radiation 2.5 Times Chernobyl | HNN – Higgins News Network (http://alexanderhiggins.com/peer-reviewed-study-fukushima-xenon-radiation-2-5-times-chernobyl-2/)

May 14, 2015
A peer-reviewed study of actual measured Fukushima radiation releases disputes many media and junk science reports, putting Xenon at 2.5 times Chernobyl.

A peer-reviewed scientific study has reveals that the Fukushima nuclear power has released far more radiation than TEPCO and Japan even admit are on site at Fukushima.

The study also shows several alarming things:

TEPCO’s estimates of the radioactive releases from Fukushima using “simulations” were many times off from actual observed levels of radioactivity released plant.

“…Total Xenon-133 emissions are 16.7 EBz, 1/3 more than the estimated inventory of the site, and 2.5 times the estimated Chernobyl release of 6.5 EBq…” “which is the largest radioactive noble gas release in history not associated with nuclear bomb testing.”

“The entire noble gas inventory of reactor units 1–3 was set free into the atmosphere between 11 and 15 March 2011…” which was covered up by TEPCO, Japan, and the US. To this day they still dispute “complete” meltdowns at some of the reactors.

The Total cesium they could measured was “about 42 % of the estimated Chernobyl emission…” which clearly shows repeated “estimates” of cesium being 1/8th or less are entirely inaccurate.… “emissions were not only coming from the damaged reactor cores, but also from the spent-fuel pool of unit 4…”

“The plume covered large parts of central-eastern Honshu and crossed over Tokyo and other major population centers”, then “the plume penetrated inland, and covered large areas of eastern Japan…”, and the plume traveled “directly across Tokyo and even further south to Osaka, and Tokyo received an elevated Cesium 137 depositing”

“The first radioactive cloud reached western North America on 15 March”, “that all of western North America was engulfed by the Fukushima plume, as well as parts of eastern North America” and by “22 March 2011, the plume had covered the entire Northern Hemisphere”.

“Consequently, Cesium 137 deposits in March was considerable for large parts of eastern Japan” and the “Japanese main island received 5.0TBq of Cesium 137, or 19% of the total released, through 20 April”

“…During the accident events, Xenon-133 and Cesium 137 were dispersed throughout the Northern Hemisphere” and “eventually also reached the Southern Hemisphere…”

Biggest Disaster In Human History - Fukushima Nuclear Disaster - New National Geographic Documentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqqcNSFpiIA)

Published on Feb 20, 2016

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster was an energy accident at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, initiated primarily by the tsunami of the T?hoku earthquake on 11 March 2011.[6]

The damage caused by the tsunami produced equipment failures, and without this equipment a loss-of-coolant accident followed with three nuclear meltdowns and releases of radioactive materials beginning on 12 March.[7]

It is the largest nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl disaster of 1986 and the second disaster (after Chernobyl) to be given the Level 7 event classification of the International Nuclear Event Scale.[8]

The plant comprised six separate boiling water reactors originally designed by General Electric (GE) and maintained by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). At the time of the earthquake, reactors 4, 5 and 6 were shut down in preparation for re-fueling.[9] However, their spent fuel pools still required cooling.[10] Immediately after the earthquake, the electricity producing reactors 1, 2 and 3 automatically shut down their sustained fission reactions, inserting control rods in what is termed a SCRAM. Following this legally mandated "safety precaution" which ceases the reactors' normal running conditions, the reactors were unable to generate power to run their own coolant pumps.

Emergency diesel generators came online, as designed, to power electronics and coolant systems, all of which operated right up until the tsunami destroyed the generators for reactors 1–5 due to their location in unhardened low-lying areas. The two generators cooling reactor 6 were undamaged and were sufficient to be pressed into service to cool the neighboring reactor 5 along with their own reactor, averting the overheating issues that reactor 4 suffered.(10)


However, sometimes politics and cover-ups go hand-in-hand.   :o

national talk radio, and made several videos exposing the
misunderstood issues of nuclear radiation. He shows that fear of
radiation has been exaggerated to scare people … so a few powerful
people can maintain total control of the world’s most valuable power
resource. Filmed by Ben Williams in 1986.

In the video, you can watch Galen lick a pile of highly radioactive
uranium off the palm of his hand and ignite a chunk of plutonium into
a shower of flaming dust. The guy also drank reactor cooling pool
water for fun and liked to go swimming in the pool to relax. He also
spiked the basement flooring of his own home with enough radioactive
material to send any Geiger counter reading off the scale to disprove
the fear mongering surrounding radon at the time.

Galen surmises the regulations and fear mongering that surround
radioactive materials are in place to prevent the widespread adoption
of nuclear power in local small scale neighborhood/home based
reactors. Galen also points out that hot nuclear “waste” can be
effectively turned into a safe power source through thermionic
conversion, which is how the U.S. submarine navigation network was
powered. The heat it gives off can also be used to safely heat homes.

He points out that nuclear “waste” is worth roughly $10 million (in
1986 dollars) a ton if it were to be reprocessed to collect its useful
isotopes, so all of this talk about trying to bury it is a sham.

He says the power companies are holding all the waste with the intent of
playing the plutonium futures market. The “waste” could be stored
above ground in already constructed buildings meeting all the
regulatory requirements without the need to have these outrageous
basalt mines dug into mountains. The only reason he can think of for
these underground vaults is to hide bodies/evidence that the state
doesn’t want uncovered.

At its core, he says federal controls over nuclear material is about
maintaining power and control over the masses through the denial of
self-sufficient power sources. Obviously if one had a personal sized
power source that was cheap and efficient, they wouldn’t need to be
connected to the “grid” for anything. The power grid is the control
grid our rulers use to keep us under their thumbs.

He also says Three Mile Island was an intentionally created disaster,
and that a core meltdown could not melt its way deep into the Earth.

"Yeah I've met him.

I put him in the Bob Lazar school of stunt showmanship.

Idiots can do all those things.

They won't die immediately from them.

He rambles way too much and is about as welcome these days as a
copperhead at a picnic . The nuclear industry used him as a stunt
dummy to try to dispel the dangers in nuclear power.

To no avail. The folks they were trying to reach had few brains
anyway.
Besides any moron could break free of rational thought in the
sixties.

It's no big mystery but you can swim in a triga reactor pool
provided you don't dive. They run at low power usually..about 1 watt
to preserve the fuel rods. People have fallen in and survived with
little damage.

If you look at any training reactor site you will find rescue rings all over.
Most triga reactor have pools that are in the 15 foot range at 1 watt;
the neutron range is low, say 3 - 4 feet max.

Spent rods about the same risk!

Most intact spent fuel rods emit mostly beta particles with some gamma
rays. Betas can be effectively be stopped by two feet or less of
water. The water is distilled in rod storage pools and beta and gamma
irradiation does not screw up the water one little bit! The only thing
that would make that water un-potable is if the fuel rod had cracked
releasing raw fissile products into the water.

Ala Silkwood!

Most waste pools are 20 feet deep... so swimming on the surface would
be a fairly safe stunt. Even with the glowing stuff below.

Gotta keep the kids safe ya know!

Low quantities of uranium oxide is pretty harmless if un-irradiated.
You can't dissolve uranium oxide in stomach acid...takes fuming red
nitric to do the trick. In a few days you have radioactive poo.

Just as dangerous as eating dirt in Arizona or Colorado.

It's the lungs not the gut where the highest risk occurs.

The lungs can not expel tiny particulates under a micron. ...."

Can you substantiate your claim that he died of leukemia at 82? Or is this just another one of those lies that go around the internet?

He is my grandfather. He died from Parkinsons. Completely unrelated to radiation.


Can radiation be linked to Parkinson's?

In the late 1970's at a Nevada air force base, a technician accidentally exposed airman Dan Hott to a great deal of radiation, perhaps the greatest amount ever any American has received.

Dan's wife, Angie, of Berkeley Springs, W. Va., said, "Dan was radiated in the head at a rate much higher than test animals have received. He said he felt the right side of his head behind the ear heat up.

The doctor (looking him over) said he didn't know what would happen to Dan over the years, but urged him to keep the documentation (about his exposure)."

Now fast forward to 2007, when Dan was experiencing a number of physical challenges. His left arm and legs were cramping up. He dragged his left leg, and often walked like he "had been drinking alcohol," said Angie.

He was experiencing fatigue and taking naps throughout the day.

Angie realized something was really wrong when her grandmother asked Dan to slice the Thanksgiving turkey and he physically couldn't with his left hand.

In June 2008, a neurologist diagnosed Dan with Parkinson's disease. Eventually, he became so affected he would lose his business, career, income level and more physical functioning.

The National Institutes of Health describes Parkinson's disease as a "movement disorder" causing limb and face trembling, limb and trunk stiffness, slow movement, and poor balance and coordination.

It can lead to trouble walking, talking, swallowing, speaking, and chewing.

Dan had been a successful, self-employed environmental engineer. In part, through his business, he designed remediation systems for gasoline stations that had spills.

Said Angie, "Dan's neurologist now thinks it's more than likely he ended up with Parkinson's disease because of having been exposed to the radiation." However, the Hotts have had trouble persuading the Veterans Administration, which has significantly limited Dan's benefits.

Angie has done lots of research on the connection between Parkinson's disease and radiation. For example, she discovered a Department of Defense study from the early 2000's in which the government radiated test animals to see whether they would acquire Parkinson's disease.

The amount of radiation, said Angie, was far less than the level to which Dan had been exposed.

Angie also spoke with a University of California scientist who believed no other living American had been exposed to radiation levels higher than Dan's.

I have noticed a couple of things that disturb me personally.  One was the San Onofre  power plant in California.  That thing looked like it was ready for the scrap heap, and it's sitting right in the path of a possible tsunami.  The other, is the incidence of diabetes in former nuclear workers an uranium miners.  It also seems to happen to coal miners.  In all these cases that I have seen, pneumoconiosis was the primary diagnosis.  Every one of the men had inhaled dust from the job for years.  These were men who worked at Rocky Flats, or in the uranium mining industry, or the coal mining industry.  The DOL is still fighting against paying benefits to people who were told that they were doing their patriotic duty.  And many of these people are living a lot longer than the DOL would like.  The medical benefits are payable for life, and many of the claimants require 24 hour a day private duty nursing care.  I have nothing to back my idea beyond my intuition, but the prevalence of diabetes and lung disease together seems odd to me.

I've seen plenty of people with lung ailments and plenty of people with diabetes.  But everyone I've known who specifically had pneumoconiosis, also had type II diabetes.  They had all worked in occupations that put them at risk of pneumoconiosis.  At least two in that group went on to develop bladder cancer.  It just seems an odd synchronicity to me.

Maybe it's the other way and diabetes makes people more likely to suffer from pneumoconiosis.

Published on Nov 5, 2016

The Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011 turned the surrounding towns into a desolate land, making the area into a "radioactive forest". Without human presence, the land is roamed by wildlife like civets, macaques and wild boars. A project is underway to study the deserted areas by attaching a camera to wild boars to record the conditions of the former farmlands. 5 years after the disaster, we take a close look at how radiation has affected the wildlife, and what it entails for us humans.

Greetings World:

And here we wuz thinking/hoping/praying that 2017 would bring 'enlightenment' to all humankind, including those with differing opinions who deny the existence of any other reality other that what they perceive, not fully realizing that perception depends upon the beliefs and point of view of the perceiver.

It seems our resident self-styled 'truth-seeker' ArMaP pontificates, once again, on something he has little - if any - knowledge of.    ;)

Quote

What "you think" has little to do with the reality facing all residents - (flora and fauna) of Planet Earth because of the catastrophic triple melt-throughs at Fukushima Dai-ichi, spewing radionuclides through the air and water 24/7/365.

And we are to believe that you, based on your study of the Fukushima radiation and world wind patterns over the past 5 years, 9 months and 26 days, have credible information to share as evidenced by your post?   :P

Get real.

If your cohorts (partners in crime) at CIA/Tango hadn't 'conveniently' 'lost' the 1,400 page PART ONE of the Fukushima debacle (where the real situation in the early days was extensively documented - including the underground nuclear weapons facility), we could easily point to your lack of participation in documenting this unending travesty on ATS, where you are a moderator.   :o

That thread is/was one of the top threads on ATS, up there with Zorgon's Naval Space Command (http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread492046/pg1) and John Lear's incredible contributions (http://www.thelivingmoon.com/forum/index.php?topic=7300.0) which 'put ATS on the map' and which they both got boned for 'in the end' (pun).

But, that is another story for another time.

..."most"...

Please define (quantify by a numerical percentage, please) what "most" means.

Does that mean you are admitting that 'a portion' of the radioactive particles may have reached the Jet Stream?    ::)

Seriously, if you are going to keep on this topic you should learn something about Fukushima, otherwise you will look like a fool to anyone that knows something about it.   :P

Emissions from Fukushima Diiachi Present in the Tropopause and Jetstream (https://nuclearhistory.wordpress.com/2013/03/27/12311/)
March 15 2011 Fukushima Diiachi (again)
Lessons from Fukushima : Dr Majia Holmer Nelson

Quote
“The important feature of this accident was that the source position was evidently clear, however, time and vertical emission variations were unknown (in this case, it was known that the height of emission was not so high in altitude).”

Wrong.

Radiosondes released from Fukushima University showed beta radiation levels off the chart at jet stream levels (30,000 feet or 10 km):

Every one of these atmospheric simulations that do not include high-altitude measurements of radiation is invalid.
From Bobby1.


Radioactivity in the jet stream (http://optimalprediction.com/wp/radioactivity-in-the-jet-stream/)

The Geophysical Institute at Fukushima University measured gamma and beta radiation at increasing altitude in April through August, 2011. They used a radiosonde (weather balloon) with a radiation measuring device on it to obtain the readings.

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/Beta_Gamma_Intensity_Height~0.jpg)

The first image is from April 2011, and shows increased beta readings at an altitude of 7-8 km. This is below the level of the jet stream. The second image is from August 27 and shows the beta level off the chart at the jet stream altitude of 9-12 km.


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/rad_by_alt_580.jpg)


We can see that the radionuclides had been rising in the atmosphere from April to August. There is also a significant amount of radioactivity up to a level of 63,000 feet. The maximum level on the chart is 20 cps, which is equivalent to 1200 cpm. This is in contrast to the April chart, which reached 500 cpm.

The third image indicates that the jet stream indeed was over Fukushima City on August 27.

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/jetstream300mb_Zonal_Wind.jpg)

Quote
None of the scientific articles (that I have seen) that have discussed atmospheric dispersion model results, or measurements of Fukushima emissions, have incorporated this type of measurement, from weather balloons or airplanes.

It is likely that a great deal of radioactivity is still in the jet stream, and will not completely come down to earth for years.

People do seem to forget that it was a triple meltdown and that radioactive cooling water is pouring into the Pacific and ending up on the western shores of North and South America.

The powers that be have been very successful in keeping the lid on this debacle. I'm amazed that it has been almost completely out of the mainstream press considering the severity of this incident.

It far eclipses Chernobyl. Most people don't believe that, which I find stunning.

Too bad we don't have a "before" and "after" comparison, but that article points to interesting data. :)

Also, although secondary, I'm always suspicious about the quality of reports that misspell the names of what they are studying, in this case "Diiachi" instead of "Daiichi". :)

Quote
We can see that the radionuclides had been rising in the atmosphere from April to August.
No, we can see that there was more beta radiation on August 27 than on that unknown date presented as April. What we cannot see is how things were during the time between the two measurements, so we cannot know if there was a constant increase from April to August or if there was only a spike in August.

Using the data published by the Fukushima University I made the following animation, with the charts for several (19, if I'm not mistaken) days between April 15 up to August 27. I had to resize some of the images to get a (more or less) constant scale, to make comparisons easier, and I don't see a constant increase in radiation, I see what appears to be isolated events more than a continuing event, but that's just my opinion, someone that hasn't studied this subject in detail. :)

There are things I've encountered I don't know how to explain.  One of them involves radiation.

A few years ago, at the "god..." site, somebody suddenly posted something about "Annanaki" trying to leave earth with gold reserves and then getting blasted out of the sky by a low yield nuke near the Great Lakes.

Then, reports appeared about radiation detectors in the Indiana/Michigan area going off scale.  I think there were two, posted online.

Then a guy in that area posted a video about a huge explosion he heard that shook his house violently. He showed video of a large nearby tree that had its top limbs and branches ripped off, apparently from something mid-air.

Then, there were crazy stories about the military fighting aliens in a remote part of Michigan.

I never found out what this was all about. I recall it happened around the time Wilcock was posting stuff about strange sounds and underground explosions at supposed hidden bases.

The Most Powerful Storm on Earth Is Bearing Down on Japan
Brian Kahn  7 hrs ago

Quote
I think it’s time to retire Maria as a name for any storm. The name has been wiped from the hurricane list in the Atlantic after Hurricane Maria completely upended life in the Caribbean. But it’s still on the rolls in the Pacific, where Typhoon Maria is about to make life miserable.

The storm has ping-ponged between being the equivalent of a Category 4 and Category 5 storm since late last week. Maria could clip Japan’s Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan before slamming into China’s central coast on Wednesday, dumping heavy rains along the way. That could be a huge issue in Japan, which is already reeling from historic flooding that’s left at least 109 dead and 2 million ready evacuate.

As of Monday, Maria was spinning as a strong Category 4 storm about 300 miles from Okinawa with sustained winds of nearly 143 mph, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Gusts are even more potent, reaching an estimated 174 mph. The current buzzsaw of a storm is a far cry from where it was on Thursday, when it was just a tropical storm with winds around 70 mph.

From Thursday to Friday, the storm exploded. Warm waters and calm upper levels winds allow the storm to blow up to a Category 5 monster with 160 mph winds in 24 hours. In meteorological parlance, the storm underwent rapid intensification, which weather geeks define as a storm’s winds increasing 35 mph in a 24-hour period. Maria more than met the criteria.

The storm weakened a bit over the course of Friday and into Saturday before picking steam again on Sunday and reaching Category 5 status for the second time in its lifespan. From here on out, the storm is likely to hold steady and then slowly decay as it approaches land and upper level winds become more inhospitable to the storm’s structure and rotation.

But even as it weakens, Maria will remain dangerous. By tomorrow evening, it’s forecast to reach southern end of the Ryukyu Islands, a small archipelago on the southern edge of Japan. At that time Maria is forecast to have 130 mph winds, which are the equivalent of a strong Category 3 hurricane. Up to eight inches of rain could fall as well.

Japan is already struggling to respond to flooding throughout the central and western part of Honshu, the country’s main island. Any damage in far flung parts of of the Ryukyu Islands will only stretch resources further.

The storm is forecast to remain a Category 3 as it passes near the northern edge of Taiwan on Wednesday as well. Even if Maria doesn’t make landfall there, it’s likely to drop up to 12 inches of rain over the hilly terrain. That same terrain will also weaken the storm further, and it’s forecast to be a Category 1-equivalent storm at landfall in China.

A study published in 2016 showed that typhoons hitting Asia over the past 37 years—a period of reliable satellite records—have become up to 15 percent more intense and the “proportion of storms of categories 4 and 5 having doubled or even tripled.” That change is largely driven by rapid intensification becoming more common owing to rising ocean temperatures. The research indicates that climate change will only make this trend more common for storms in the vicinity ofChina, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea.

Climate change could also be playing a role in the increase in rapid intensification for hurricanes in the Atlantic basin according to other research, making coastal living an increasingly risky bet.

TOKYO — The frozen soil wall built around the crippled Fukushima No.1 nuclear plant have melted in two places following recent powerful typhoons, local media reported Friday, raising concerns over effect of the approach adopted by the Tokyo Electric Power Co.(TEPCO) to reduce the massive volume of radioactive water.

The 1.5-km-long frozen soil wall, also known as the “ice wall,” which was partly put into use in March, melted in two places following Powerful Lionrock, the tenth of the season, battered the region, with temperature of the melting parts rising above zero centigrade, Japan’s Asahi Shimbun reported.

The melting was probably caused by lashing of large amount of groundwater as a result of recent powerful typhoons and heavy rainfall, said local reports.

Groundwater flowing under the nuclear plant is leaking through the melted parts of the wall to outside and TEPCO is trying to refreeze the parts by injecting special chemicals to the wall, said the reports.

The ice wall construction was finished in February after two years of work involving driving more than 1,500 steel pipes with 30 meters into the soil around the perimeter surrounding the No. 1 to 4 reactors at the troubled plant.

Liquid calcium chloride at minus 40 degrees Celsius was then pumped into the pipes to freeze the surrounding soil, which, in theory, would prevent groundwater from flowing into the facilities and getting contaminated when it comes into contact with melted nuclear fuel.

However, reports showed that there still remained unfrozen parts as of mid-August, and TEPCO revealed plans to take additional steps such as injecting cement into the parts of the wall that are not fully frozen.

The ice wall, costing tax payers [NOT TEPCO!] some 35 billion yen (USD 336 million), met with doubts and criticisms from experts from the very beginning, with the technique having been used previously in engineering projects, but not on a scale of the Fukushima plant or for the expected duration.

Some experts believe that capping the reactors in concrete, as was the case following the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, would be a more effective means of dealing with the ongoing crisis.

The project was considered failed by some outside experts at an earlier meeting called by the Nuclear Regulation Authority to assess the effectiveness of the approach.

Typhoons cause ‘ice wall’ to melt at Fukushima nuclear plant
 http://tinyurl.com/guduopy

Rainfall from recent typhoons caused partial melting of the “ice wall” at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, allowing highly radioactive water to leak from around the damaged reactor buildings, the plant’s operator said Sept. 1.

Around 5.5 cm of rainfall a day fell in the area when the typhoon hit.

The groundwater level, however, actually rose by 7 cm, although 740 tons of groundwater was pumped out of the section.

“If there had been an additional 15 cm of rain, (the contaminated water) could have poured out over the ground surface” and spilled into the sea, a TEPCO official said Sept. 1.

The Meteorological Agency’s initial forecast said Typhoon No. 10 would bring a maximum 20 cm of rain a day at some locations in the Tohoku region.

The 34.5-billion-yen ($336 million) frozen wall was completed in spring to prevent groundwater from entering the reactor buildings and mixing with highly radioactive water.

TEPCO admitted the underground wall of frozen dirt is not working.

The company said the temperatures at the two sections of the frozen wall have climbed above zero since Typhoon No. 7 approached Fukushima Prefecture on Aug. 17.

The company believes that the partial melting was caused by the influx of water brought by the typhoons and heavy rain in between.   :P

Why in the world would you install such a ridiculous wall knowing it will require a lot of power to maintain and it's subject to melting?

I thought all six reactors are offline, three in meltdown. From where are they drawing the power?

To me that seems like the height of stupidity.

Fukushima Never Again

44.2 percent of 94.975 sampled Fukushima children have had thyroid ultrasound abnormalities as a likely results of their exposure to radiation.

Only a few days after the meltdown, I-131 concentration levels in California, Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon and Washington were up to 211 times above the normal level.

At the same time, the number of congenital hypothyroidism cases increased dramatically, seeing a 16 percent increase from March 17 2011 to December 31 2011. In 36 other US states outside of the exposure zone, the risk of congenital hyperthyroidism decreased by 3 percent.

Thor,
Why have they not encased the units in meltdown in a proper sarcophagus? Is it because they're in meltdown?

What do you think they should do?

Greetings Irene:

Thank you for your interest in a subject that has been banished from the world's media and therefore public awareness. :P

To fully understand exactly what would be entailed in any type of sarcophagus/containment building, here is more information regarding just what exists under the nuclear power reactors - 3 MELT-THROUGHS, not merely meltdowns (which implies the corium is still within some sort of containment) which is certainly not the case.

TEPCO has admitted that the corium of reactors 1, 2, and 3 is many meters below containment and no technology exists to not only extract it but put it "somewhere."  :P

I think Zorgon posted about a sarcophagus earlier, I'll look for it.

TEPCO : Water Shielding Wall (http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/nu/fukushima-np/water/13070801-e.html)
8 July 2013

In order to mitigate the dispersal of radioactive material into the ocean, we have been constructing a water shielding wall in front of the existing seawall of Units 1 to 4 since October 2011. It is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2014.

We started placing steel pipe sheet piles, which will form the main structure of the water shielding wall, from April 2.

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/water_wall_cross_section.png)


The Study Result on the Water Shielding Wall at the Ground side (http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/press/corp-com/release/betu11_e/images/111026e9.pdf)

1. Purpose of this study
We conducted analysis on the effect and influence of installing water shielding
wall at the ground side in addition to the one at the seaside from the following
aspects:

(1) Effect to prevent further expansion of ocean contamination
(2) Risk of accumulated water inside the buildings flowing into groundwater
(3) Interference with other projects


For the mitigation of groundwater flow into the buildings, because it is difficult to manage groundwater level around the buildings in accordance with the water level of accumulated water inside the building by implementing water shielding wall at the groundwater, we plan to study on another solution to manage groundwater level around the buildings by sub-drain around the buildings.

(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/tepcospeak.png)


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/tepco_fig1.png)


2. Study Result
(1) Effect to prevent further expansion of ocean contamination
Because hydrogeological structure around Units 1 to 4 buildings draws a slope
evenly from mountain side to seaside, groundwater flows from mountain side to
seaside. Therefore, groundwater around the buildings would not flow out into
four directions, but always flow into the sea (Figure-2).


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/tepco_fig2.png)



Taking into account the characteristics of groundwater flow at the designated
location, we have analyzed the effect of further expansion of ocean
contamination by installing water shielding wall by means of three-dimensional
flow line trace analysis.

As a result, we find that we can prevent groundwater around the buildings from flowing into the sea by managing with ground water drain, installing water shielding wall at the seaside (Figure-3).



(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/tepco_fig3.png)


In case of installing water shielding wall at the groundside, because it is not
possible to prevent groundwater from flowing from mountainside completely, it
is necessary to implement countermeasures like water shielding wall at the
seaside in order to prevent further expansion of ocean contamination.

(2) Risk of accumulated water inside the buildings flowing into groundwater
We analyzed the level of change in groundwater level around the buildings,
caused by the installation of water shielding wall, by means of
three-dimensional seepage analysis.

As a result, regarding the groundwater level around the buildings, the level
would decrease by 0 to 0.5m from current situation in case of water shielding
wall at the seaside. In case of water shielding wall at the groundside, the level
would decrease by 1 to 2 m from current situation (Figure-4).


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/tepco_fig4.png)


Therefore, it is concluded that the case installing water shielding wall at the groundwater would increase the influence in terms of the risk of accumulated water inside the buildings to flow out, because the possibility which the level of groundwater would be lower that the level of accumulated water inside the building would rise.


(3) Interference with other projects
Water shielding wall at the seawater would not interfere with the other projects
because the wall will be installed at the seaside of existing seawall. On the other
hand, water shielding wall at the ground side interferes with important facilities
and construction which aim for stabilization.

Further because it has many difficulties in its implementation, e.g. requiring the removal and move of existing facilities, there would be more influence by installing water shielding wall at the ground side from points of interference with the other projects
(Figure-5).


(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/tepco_fig5.png)


3. Conclusion
Regarding the prevention of further expansion of ocean contamination, it is
important not to let accumulated water inside the buildings flow into
groundwater. In this sense, it is appropriate to see the water shielding wall as
the countermeasure to prevent such flow of contaminated groundwater into
ocean. We deem that we should avoid countermeasures which would increase
such risk of accumulated water inside the building to flow out.

With those aspects, after the comprehensive evaluation on the effect and
influence by installing water shielding wall at the ground side, we have reached
the conclusion that it is appropriate to address the issues only with water
shielding wall at the seaside, not combining the one at the groundside.

For the installation of the water shielding wall at the ground side, we will discuss
the matter again at an appropriate point of time, based on the progress of the
other projects.

Thor,
Why have they not encased the units in meltdown in a proper sarcophagus? Is it because they're in meltdown?

With respect to Thor...

There is one issue that is being overlooked.

In Chernobyl they could build a sarcophagus because the accident was inland and on relatively stable ground. So putting a cover over it would stop radiation from seeping into the air and stop rainwater from washing radiation into the local ground water.

The core however melted straight down into the earth. This would of course still contaminate local ground water but the rest of the area is already relatively safe to access for short periods of time.   See my photo pages of the town left abandoned :D


At Fukushima you have a very different and serious problem.   The cores, all THREE of them. did melt down into the earth, but the ground beneath the plant is all FRACTURED  so allowing seepage IN from the sea  which then takes contaminated water back out to sea every tide.  A sew wall will do NOTHING...  A sarcophagus over the buildings would at least reduce emissions into the air as well as stop rain water from adding to the contamination... but there is NOTHING known to mankind at this time that can stop the core from affecting the ground water and sea seepage in the fractures ground.

This fractured ground was already discussed years ago at ATS and there were charts from the Japanese news NHK at the time. I am sure I still have them somewhere considering ATS deleted it all. I will have to finish my Fukushima pages for the record. Never thought ATS would delete that important thread

Ah wait  here it is...

A slight correction, if I may Z. The Chernobyl meltdown resulted in the Elephant's Foot coming to rest several feet below the compromised reactor vessel.

It looks like a solid mass but it is, in fact, continuing its meltdown beyond our ability to see. No timetable has been offered on the speed of its descent.

When discovered, 30 seconds of exposure killed. Today it can be approached briefly for monitoring. The definition of insanity if you ask me.

I'd like to post photos, in succession, but the greedy bastards seem to have copyrighted them all. Search "Elephant's Foot Chernobyl".

ArMaP, perhaps you can assist with this? You seem to be very good with photos.

Sorry, folks. I'm tired.

Artur Korneyev, Deputy Director of Shelter Object, viewing the “elephants foot” lava flow at Chernobyl, 1996. (Photo: US Department of Energy)

But there’s something undeniably eerie about the scene, for good reason. You’re looking at the largest agglomeration of one of the most toxic substances ever created: corium.

In the days and weeks after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in late April 1986, simply being in the same room as this particular pile of radioactive material—known as the Elephant’s Foot—would have killed you within a couple of minutes.

Even a decade later, when this image was taken, the radiation probably caused the film to develop strangely, creating the photo’s grainy quality.

The man in this photo, Artur Korneyev, has likely visited this area more than anyone else, and in doing so has been exposed to more radiation than almost anyone in history.
 
Remarkably, he’s probably still alive. The story of how the United States got a hold of this singular photo of a human in the presence of this incredibly toxic material is itself fraught with mystery—almost as much as why someone would take what is essentially a selfie with a hunk of molten radiated lava.

Found ONE old post from ATS so far  Its an early one and important info in it. The links are intact on the webpage... din't take time to paste them all

March 14th, 2011
Originally posted by okiecowboy ATS Post ID 10805818

Ok I am not as good providing well written and explained posts as Zorgon or TheRedneck so bear with me..

The Big picture as I see it

I am going to ignore the reactors themselves for a bit and talk about the storage of the spent fuel rods and possible fire of same...

In Japan the spent fuel rods are stored mainly at the plant, with a portion sent to another plant to reprocess... without posting the diagrams that have been posted many times before... spent fuel is stored within the reactor building in a swimming pool-like concrete structure near the top of the reactor vessel.

    This spent fuel must be kept underwater to prevent severe releases of radioactivity, among other reasons. A meltdown or even a fire could occur if there is a loss of coolant from the spent fuel pool. The water in the spent fuel pool and the roof of the reactor building are the main barriers to release of radioactivity from the spent fuel pool.
    Source

Notice it said water and the roof are the main barriers...we have plants missing the roof and lack of water has been mentioned many times. Now the reason for the missing roof has been explained as a hydrogen build up due to venting from the steam to release pressure in the reactor.

    Hydrogen is generated in a nuclear reactor if the fuel in the reactor loses its cover of cooling water. The tubes that contain the fuel pellets are made of a zirconium alloy. Zirconium reacts with steam to produce zirconium oxide and hydrogen gas. Moreover, the reaction is exothermic – that is, it releases a great deal of heat, and hence creates a positive feedback that aggravates the problem and raises the temperature.
    The same phenomenon can occur in a spent fuel pool in case of a loss of cooling water.
    Source

So how much fuel are we talking here. it's hard to get the exact number but;

    The Fukushima Daiichi plant has seven pools for spent fuel rods.  Six of these are (or were) located at the top of six reactor buildings.  One “common pool” is at ground level in a separate building.  Each “reactor top” pool holds 3450 fuel rod assemblies.  The common pool holds 6291 fuel rod assemblies.  [The common pool has windows on one wall which were almost certainly destroyed by the tsunami.]  Each assembly holds sixty-three fuel rods.  This means the Fukushima Daiichi plant may contain over 600,000 spent fuel rods
    Source

and;

    Japanese commercial nuclear power plants began operation in 1970. Currently there are 53 nuclear power plants in operation. To date close to 20,000 tons of spent nuclear fuel has been generated by Japan's nuclear power program

    The quantity of fission products (spent nuclear fuel) produced each year at a full-sized commercial nuclear power plants is massive. A total of approximately 50,000 times the fission products of the Hiroshima bomb are created by Japanese nuclear power plants each year, and this for the most part is cumulative, in other words the material remains radioactive. Most of this waste is being temporarily stored at nuclear power plant sites and must remain segregated from the natural environment
    Source

Starting to get a warm fuzzy feeling yet? Now remember one of these reactors is using MOX fuel. which has been explained several times... Mox is a fuel that contains plutonium. Okay so what if we have a spent fuel fire, how bad can it be? Well this type of thing has been studied before, just not in Japan. We have some U.S. studies we will use;

    If a fire were to break out at the Millstone Reactor Unit 3 spent fuel pond in Connecticut, it would result in a three-fold increase in background exposures. This level triggers the NRC’s evacuation requirement, and could render about 29,000 square miles of land , according to Thompson. Connecticut covers only about 5,000 square miles; an accident at Millstone could severely affect Long Island and even New York City

    A 1997 report for the NRC by Brookhaven National Laboratory also found that a severe pool fire could render about 188 square miles uninhabitable, cause as many as 28,000 cancer fatalities, and cost $59 billion in damage. (The Brookhaven study relied on a different standard of uninhabitability than Thompson.) While estimates vary, “the use of a little imagination,” says Thompson, “shows that a pool fire would be a regional and national disaster of historic proportions.”
    Source

Also from the same article;

    Several events could cause a loss of pool water, including leakage, evaporation, siphoning, pumping, aircraft impact, earthquake, accidental or deliberate drop of a fuel transport cask, reactor failure, or an explosion inside or outside the pool building. Industry officials maintain that personnel would have sufficient time to provide an alternative cooling system before the spent fuel caught fire. But if the water level dropped to just a few feet above the spent fuel, the radiation doses in the pool building would be lethal.
    Source

Again this study did not factor in MOX fuel and another article says;

    The consequences of severe spent fuel pool accidents at closed U.S. reactors were studied by the Brookhaven National Laboratory in a 1997 report prepared for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. According to the results, the damages resulting from such accidents for U.S. Boiling Water Reactors could range from $700 million to $546 billion, which would be between roughly $900 million and $700 billion in today’s dollars. The lower figures would apply if there were just one old spent fuel set present in the pool to a full pool in which the spent fuel has been re-racked to maximize storage. Other variables would be whether there was any freshly discharged spent fuel in the pool, which would greatly increase the radioactivity releases. The estimated latent cancer deaths over the years and decades following the accident was estimated at between 1,300 and 31,900 within 50 kilometers (30 miles) of the plant and between 1,900 and 138,000 within a radius of 500 kilometers (300 miles) from the plant.

    The range of consequences in Japan would be somewhat different from those outlined in the Brookhaven report, since the consequences depend on population density within 50 and 500 kilometers of the plant, the re-racking policy, and several other variables. It should also be noted that Daiichi Unit 1 is about half the power rating of most U.S. reactors, so that the amount of radioactivity in the pool would be about half the typical amount, all other things being equal. But the Brookhaven study can be taken as a general indicator that the scale of the damage could be vast in the most severe case.
    Source

So what if we have a spent fuel fire at plant number one?

    “That would be like Chernobyl on steroids,” said Arnie Gundersen, a nuclear engineer at Fairewinds Associates and a member of the public oversight panel for the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant, which is identical to the Fukushima Daiichi unit 1
    Washington Post

So let's pretend for a minute it does happen... and let's pick a number from the above listed report of 1000 square miles  ( report said up to 29,000 miles... I went with a lower figure just cuz) Now to me uninhabitable means... Not Habitable ..ie.. get the heck out.. so a wide area becomes a ghost town.

But wait a minute... we have important things in that area that have to be tended to and monitered right? Another nuke plant nearby right? And a plant at Onagwa that is already showing trouble... we can's just up and leave. Anyone remember the Tokai plant? It is a small reconversion plant with a little fame already.

    The Tokaimura nuclear accident (東海村JCO臨界事故, Tōkai-mura JCO-rinkai-jiko?, "Tōkai Village JCO Criticality Accident") was at the time Japan's worst civilian nuclear radiation accident. It took place on 30 September 1999 at a uranium reprocessing facility located in the village of Tōkai, Naka District, Ibaraki. The accident occurred in a very small fuel preparation plant operated by JCO (formerly Japan Nuclear Fuel Conversion Co.), a subsidiary of Sumitomo Metal Mining Co
    Wikipedia

Remember all that MOX fuel we talked about before, that may or may not be in storage at the plant? Well within a not so far area of the plant that may or may not be dumping radiation out is Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant;

    The Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant (六ヶ所村核燃料再処理施設, Rokkasho Kakunenryō Saishori Shisetsu?) is a nuclear reprocessing plant with an annual capacity of 800 tons of uranium or 8 tons of plutonium
    Wikipedia

    Rokkasho-mura has the world largest cooling pool (Fig. 4). Spent nuclear fuel transported to the reprocessing plant is stored here and it is ultimately expected to hold 3000 tons of spent fuel
    Source

Rokkasho has a Spent fuel storage pool that has already had trouble in the past;

    Other safety problems have plagued Rokkasho. Last year, the cooling system of its spent nuclear fuel storage pool temporarily failed. The ventilation system in the fuel storage building had problems. Last month, the fuel pool, which at that point contained more than 1,000 nuclear fuel assemblies, leaked coolant from a loose valve; it took workers more than 15 hours to identify and fix the problem

Does this sound like a area people can just up and walk away from? And this is just a partial list of man power critical list. So as this story unfolds and the evacuation zones keep expanding, think about what people may have to walk away from.

Fukushima meltdown apology: "It was a cover-up"


Quote
TOKYO -- The utility that ran the Fukushima nuclear plant acknowledged Tuesday its delayed disclosure of the meltdowns at three reactorswas tantamount to a cover-up and apologized for it.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. President Naomi Hirose's apology followed the revelation last week that an investigation had found Hirose's predecessor instructed officials during the 2011 disaster to avoid using the word "meltdown."

"I would say it was a cover-up," Hirose told a news conference. "It's extremely regrettable."

Japanese woman breaks silence on Fukushima-related cancer
TEPCO instead described the reactors' condition as less serious "core damage" for two months after the earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011, wrecked the plant, even though utility officials knew and computer simulations suggested meltdowns had occurred.

Japanese woman breaks silence on Fukushima-related cancer

KORIYAMA, Japan -- She's 21, has thyroid cancer, and wants people in her prefecture in northeastern Japan to get screened for it. That statement might not seem provocative, but her prefecture is Fukushima, and of the 173 young people with confirmed or suspected cases since the 2011 nuclear meltdowns there, she is the first to speak out.

That near-silence highlights the fear Fukushima thyroid-cancer patients have about being the "nail that sticks out," and thus getting hammered.

The thyroid-cancer rate in the northern Japanese prefecture is many times higher than what is generally found, particularly among children, but the Japanese government says more cases are popping up because of rigorous screening, not the radiation that spewed from Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant.

To be seen as challenging that view carries consequences in this rigidly harmony-oriented society. Even just having cancer that might be related to radiation carries a stigma in the only country to be hit with atomic bombs.

"There aren't many people like me who will openly speak out," said the young woman, who requested anonymity because of fears about harassment. "That's why I'm speaking out so others can feel the same. I can speak out because I'm the kind of person who believes things will be OK."

She has a quick disarming smile and silky black hair. She wears flip-flops. She speaks passionately about her new job as a nursery school teacher. But she also has deep fears: Will she be able to get married? Will her children be healthy?

She suffers from the only disease that the medical community, including the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, has acknowledged is clearly related to the radioactive iodine that spewed into the surrounding areas after the only nuclear disaster worse than Fukushima's, the 1986 explosion and fire at Chernobyl, Ukraine.

Though international reviews of Fukushima have predicted that cancer rates will not rise as a result of the meltdowns there, some researchers believe the prefecture's high thyroid-cancer rate is related to the accident.

The government has ordered medical testing of the 380,000 people who were 18 years or under and in Fukushima prefecture at the time of the March 2011 tsunami and quake that sank three reactors into meltdowns. About 38 percent have yet to be screened, and the number is a whopping 75 percent for those who are now between the ages of 18 and 21.

The young woman said she came forward because she wants to help other patients, especially children, who may be afraid and confused. She doesn't know whether her sickness was caused by the nuclear accident, but plans to get checked for other possible sicknesses, such as uterine cancer, just to be safe.

"I want everyone, all the children, to go to the hospital and get screened. They think it's too much trouble, and there are no risks, and they don't go," the woman said in a recent interview in Fukushima. "My cancer was detected early, and I learned that was important."

Thyroid cancer is among the most curable cancers, though some patients need medication for the rest of their lives, and all need regular checkups.

The young woman had one cancerous thyroid removed, and does not need medication except for painkillers. But she has become prone to hormonal imbalance and gets tired more easily. She used to be a star athlete, and snowboarding remains a hobby.

A barely discernible tiny scar is on her neck, like a pale kiss mark or scratch. She was hospitalized for nearly two weeks, but she was itching to get out. It really hurt then, but there is no pain now, she said with a smile.

"My ability to bounce right back is my trademark," she said. "I'm always able to keep going."

She was mainly worried about her parents, especially her mother, who cried when she found out her daughter had cancer. Her two older siblings also were screened but were fine.

Many Japanese have deep fears about genetic abnormalities caused by radiation. Many, especially older people, assume all cancers are fatal, and even the young woman did herself until her doctors explained her sickness to her.

The young woman said her former boyfriend's family had expressed reservations about their relationship because of her sickness. She has a new boyfriend now, a member of Japan's military, and he understands about her sickness, she said happily.

A support group for thyroid cancer patients was set up earlier this year. The group, which includes lawyers and medical doctors, has refused all media requests for interviews with the handful of families that have joined, saying that kind of attention may be dangerous.

When the group held a news conference in Tokyo in March, it connected by live video feed with two fathers with children with thyroid cancer, but their faces were not shown, to disguise their identities. They criticized the treatment their children received and said they're not certain the government is right in saying the cancer and the nuclear meltdowns are unrelated.

Hiroyuki Kawai, a lawyer who also advises the group, believes patients should file Japan's equivalent of a class-action lawsuit, demanding compensation, but he acknowledged more time will be needed for any legal action.

"The patients are divided. They need to unite, and they need to talk with each other," he told AP in a recent interview.

The committee of doctors and other experts carrying out the screening of youngsters in Fukushima for thyroid cancer periodically update the numbers of cases found, and they have been steadily climbing.

In a news conference this week, they stuck to the view the cases weren't related to radiation. Most disturbing was a cancer found in a child who was just 5 years old in 2011, the youngest case found so far. But the experts brushed it off, saying one wasn't a significant number.

"It is hard to think there is any relationship," with radiation, said Hokuto Hoshi, a medical doctor who heads the committee.

Shinsyuu Hida, a photographer from Fukushima and an adviser to the patients' group, said fears are great not only about speaking out but also about cancer and radiation.

He said that when a little girl who lives in Fukushima once asked him if she would ever be able to get married, because of the stigma attached to radiation, he was lost for an answer and wept afterward.

"They feel alone. They can't even tell their relatives," Hida said of the patients. "They feel they can't tell anyone. They felt they were not allowed to ask questions."

The woman who spoke to AP also expressed her views on video for a film in the works by independent American filmmaker Ian Thomas Ash.

She counts herself lucky. About 18,000 people were killed in the tsunami, and many more lost their homes to the natural disaster and the subsequent nuclear accident, but her family's home was unscathed.

When asked how she feels about nuclear power, she replied quietly that Japan doesn't need nuclear plants. Without them, she added, maybe she would not have gotten sick.

It occurs to me that there really isn't a lot of point pulling up ALL the old Fukushima material as most orf it was stuff happening at the moments and updates to status where continous.

Since TEPCO was lying to its own Government and had no admitted that,  most of what was published at the time was conjecture and expert guesses from outside  as there was little real info to be had,

TEPCO would say one thing, but photos showed the opposite.  So its only a matter of collecting key information for historical purposes.

There is ONE I found in the pile I have been sorting through that is very important. It's from Reuters... pretty much covers everything really.

ENERGY & OIL NEWS  MARCH 29, 2011 / 8:38 PM / 7 YEARS AGO
CORRECTED-SPECIAL REPORT-Japan engineers knew tsunami could overwhelm Fukushima plant
Reuters Staff


Diesel pumps at No. 2 ran out of fuel, allowing water levels to fall and fuel to become exposed and overheat. When the Fukushima plant suffered its second hydrogen blast in three days the following Monday, Tokyo electric executives only notified the prime minister’s office an hour later. Seven workers had been injured in the explosion along with four soldiers.

An enraged Prime Minister Naoto Kan pulled up to Tokyo Electric’s headquarters the next morning before dawn. “What the hell is going on?” reporters outside the closed-door discussion reported hearing Kan demand angrily of senior executives.

Errors of judgment by workers in the hot zone and errors of calculation by plant managers hampered the emergency response a full week later as some 600 soldiers and workers struggled to contain the spread of radiation.

On Thursday, two workers at Fukushima were shuttled to the hospital to be treated for potential radiation burns after wading in water in the turbine building of reactor No. 3. The workers had ignored their radiation alarms thinking they were broken.

Then Tokyo electric officials pulled workers back from an effort to pump water out of the No. 2 reactor and reported that radiation readings were 10 million times normal. They later apologized, saying that reading was wrong. The actual reading was still 100,000 times normal, Tokyo Electric said.

The government’s chief spokesman was withering in his assessment. “The radiation readings are an important part of a number of important steps we’re taking to protect safety,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano told reporters. “There is no excuse for getting them wrong.”   

VENTS AND GAUGES
Although U.S. nuclear plant operators were required to install “hardened” vent systems in the 1980s after the Three Mile Island incident, Japan’s Nuclear Safety Commission rejected the need to require such systems in 1992, saying that should be left to the plant operators to decide.

A nuclear power plant’s vent represents one of the last resorts for operators struggling to keep a reactor from pressure that could to blow the building that houses it apart and spread radiation, which is what happened at Chernobyl 25 years ago. A hardened vent in a U.S. plant is designed to behave like the barrel on a rifle, strong enough to withstand an explosive force from within.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission concluded in the late 1980s that the General Electric designed Mark I reactors, like those used at Fukushima, required safety modifications.

The risks they flagged, and that Tokyo did not heed, would come back to haunt Japan in the Fukushima crisis.

First, U.S. researchers concluded that a loss of power at one of the nuclear plants would be one of the “dominant contributors” to the most severe accidents. Flooding of the reactor building would worsen the risks. The NRC also required U.S. plants to install “hard pipe” after concluding the sheet-metal ducts used in Japan could make things much worse.

“Venting via a sheet metal duct system could result in a reactor building hydrogen burn,” researchers said in a report published in November 1988.

In the current crisis, the failure of the more vulnerable duct vents in Fukushima’s No. 1 and No. 3 reactors may have contributed to the hydrogen explosions that blew the roof off the first and left the second a tangled hulk of steel beams in the first three days of the crisis.

The plant vents, which connect to the big smokestack-like towers, appear to have been damaged in the quake or the tsunami, one NISA official said.

Even without damage, opening the vulnerable vents in the presence of a build-up of hydrogen gas was a known danger. In the case of Fukushima, opening the vents to relieve pressure was like turning on an acetylene torch and then watching the flame “shoot back into the fuel tank,” said one expert with knowledge of Fukushima who asked not to be identified because of his commercial ties in Japan.

Tokyo Electric began venting the No. 1 reactor on March 12 just after 10 a.m. An hour earlier the pressure in the reactor was twice its designed limit. Six hours later the reactor exploded.

The same pattern held with reactor No. 3. Venting to relieve a dangerous build-up of pressure in the reactor began on March 13. A day later, the outer building - a concrete and steel shell known as the “secondary containment” — exploded.

Toshiaki Sakai, the Tokyo Electric researcher who worked on tsunami risk, also sat on a panel in 2008 that reviewed the damage to the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant. In that case, Tokyo Electric safely shut down the plant, which survived a quake 2.5 times stronger than it had been designed to handle.

Sakai and the other panelists agreed that despite the successful outcome the way the ground sank and broke underground pipes needed for firefighting equipment had to be considered “a failure to fulfill expected performance”.

Japanese regulators also knew a major earthquake could damage exhaust ducts. A September 2007 review of damage at the same Tokyo Electric nuclear plant by NISA Deputy Director Akira Fukushima showed two spots where the exhaust ducts had broken.

No new standard was put in place requiring vents to be shored up against potential damage, records show.

Masashi Goto, a former nuclear engineer who has turned critical of the industry, said he believed Tokyo Electric and regulators wrongly focused on the parts of the plant that performed well in the 2007 quake, rather than the weaknesses it exposed. “I think they drew the wrong lesson,” Goto said.

The March 11 quake not only damaged the vents but also the gauges in the Fukushima Daiichi complex, which meant that Tokyo Electric was without much of the instrumentation it needed to assess the situation on the ground during the crisis.

“The data we’re getting is very sketchy and makes it impossible for us to do the analysis,” said David Lochbaum, a nuclear expert and analyst with the Union of Concerned Scientists. “It’s hard to connect the dots when there are so few dots.”

In fact, Japan’s NSC had concluded in 1992 that it was important for nuclear plant operators to have access to key gauges and instruments even in the kind of crisis that had not happened then. But it left plans on how to implement that policy entirely to the plant operators.

In the Fukushima accident, most meters and gauges were taken out by the loss of power in the early days of the crisis.

That left a pair of workers in a white Prius to race into the plant to get radiation readings with a handheld device in the early days of the crisis, according to Tokyo Electric.

They could have used robots to go in.

Immediately after the tsunami, a French firm with nuclear expertise shipped robots for use in Fukushima, a European nuclear expert said. The robots are built to withstand high radiation.

But Japan, arguably the country with the most advanced robotics industry, stopped them from arriving in Fukishima, saying such help could only come through government channels, said the expert who asked not to be identified so as not to appear critical of Japan in a moment of crisis.   (Scott DiSavino was reporting from New York; Additional reporting by Kentaro Sugiayama in Tokyo, Bernie Woodall in Detroit, Eileen O’Grady in New York, Roberta Rampton in Washington; Editing by Bill Tarrant)

Atomic Wounds

At 89, Doctor Hida, a survivor of the 1945 atomic bomb at Hiroshima, continues to care for some of the other quarter of a million survivors. « Atomic Wounds » retraces the journey of this charismatic and committed man and draws attention to the lessons that still need to be learned 60 years after Hiroshima and 20 years after Chernobyl.

Using rarely seen archival footage, « Atomic wounds » shows the existence of ABCC, a laboratory that was set up in 1946 by American scientists on the spot of the disaster, to study the effects of the bomb on thousands of survivors.

Dr Hida then travels to the United Nations in order to have the real medical consequences of the bomb officially recognized, as they had been denied by both the American and Japanese governments.

The film shows how the terrible danger of radiation was minimized by successive American administrations in the 50's - 70's so that nuclear power be freely developed, with no concern for public health.

Summary:
Since the double disaster of the 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami that affected hundreds of thousands of people and seriously damaged the Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant in Japan on 11 March 2011, minute traces of radioactive emissions from Fukushima have spread across the entire Northern Hemisphere. A monitoring network designed to detect signs of nuclear explosions picked up these traces from the stricken power plant. To date, more than 30 radionuclide stations that are part of the International Monitoring System have provided information on the spread of radioactive particles and noble gases from the Fukushima accident.

New source of radioactivity from Fukushima disaster

October 2, 2017
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

Scientists have found a previously unsuspected place where radioactive material from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant disaster has accumulated -- in sands and brackish groundwater beneath beaches up to 60 miles away.

The sands took up and retained radioactive cesium originating from the disaster in 2011 and have been slowly releasing it back to the ocean.

The new study revealed a previously unsuspected pathway for radioactive material to be transported, stored for years, and subsequently released far from the site where it was initially discharged.

[...]

"No one expected that the highest levels of cesium in ocean water today would be found not in the harbor of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, but in the groundwater many miles away below the beach sands," said Sanial.
[...]

Cesium has a long half-life and persists in the environment. In their analyses of the beaches, the scientists detected not only cesium-137, which may have come from the Dai-ichi plant or from nuclear weapons tested in the 1950s and1960s, but also cesium-134, a radioactive form of cesium that can only come only from the 2011 Fukushima accident.

The researchers also conducted experiments on Japanese beach samples in the lab to demonstrate that cesium did indeed "stick" to sand grains and then lost their "stickiness" when they were flushed with salt water.

"It is as if the sands acted as a 'sponge' that was contaminated in 2011 and is only slowly being depleted," said Buesseler.

"Only time will slowly remove the cesium from the sands as it naturally decays away and is washed out by seawater," said Sanial.

"There are 440 operational nuclear reactors in the world, with approximately one-half situated along the coastline," the study's authors wrote. So this previously unknown, ongoing, and persistent source of contamination to coastal oceans "needs to be considered in nuclear power plant monitoring and scenarios involving future accidents."

Nuclear Reactor Meltdown: "SL-1 Accident Briefing Film Report"
1961 Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)

Jeff Quitney
Published on Aug 3, 2017


The SL-1, or Stationary Low-Power Reactor Number One, was a United States Army experimental nuclear power reactor which underwent a steam explosion and meltdown on January 3, 1961, killing its three operators.

The direct cause was the improper withdrawal of the central control rod, responsible for absorbing neutrons in the reactor core. The event is the only known fatal reactor incident in the United States.

The incident released about 80 curies (3.0 TBq) of iodine-131, which was not considered significant due to its location in a remote desert of Idaho. About 1,100 curies (41 TBq) of fission products were released into the atmosphere.

The facility, located at the National Reactor Testing Station (NRTS) approximately 40 miles (64 km) west of Idaho Falls, Idaho, was part of the Army Nuclear Power Program and was known as the Argonne Low Power Reactor (ALPR) during its design and build phase. It was intended to provide electrical power and heat for small, remote military facilities, such as radar sites near the Arctic Circle, and those in the DEW Line.

The design power was 3 MW (thermal). Operating power was 200 kW electrical and 400 kW thermal for space heating. In the incident the core power level reached nearly 20 GW in just four milliseconds, precipitating the steam explosion...

Remember this gem I posted early on?

Just wanted to let you know about the Fukushima Impact so far.

Approximate impact of Cs-137 pollution on Pacific Ocean.

1 curie (named after Madame Curie who discovered radiation in a mineral called pitchblende) equals 37 BILLION Becquerels of radiation.

1 uc = 37,000, radiations per second.

For Cesium-137 it is 88 Curies per gram.

So 1 gram of Cesium-137 is 3,256 billion becquerels per second.
3,256,000,000,000 radiations per second.
99,959,279,200,000 becquerels per second per ounce
5,997,556,752,000,000 becquerels per minute from 1 ounce of Cs-137.

There are 1,231 spent fuel rods with about 35% is Cs-137.

A rod is 48.09 lbs.
about 20,721 lbs Cs-137
322,160 oz of Cs-137
28.3495 gm to oz.

So 9,133,076 grams of Cs-137 in 1231 fuel rods.
A gram of Cesium-137 produces 3,256 billion becquerels of radiation per second.

So the total radiation per second from 9,133,076 grams of cs-137 is: 29,737,298,640,498,000,000 atoms emitting radiation per second.


A little doom here; We just might be dead but lets be sure.

1 cubic mile of sea water is 777,205,186,560,000 cubic feet.

So 7.71682543518 is the Cubic Foot radiation per second per cubic mile.
So in 1 day there are 666,733.717599549 emitted radiation happening in a cubic foot per day mile.

There are about 63,800,000 square miles of Pacific Ocean.
Average depth is about 2.28 miles.

There are 145,464,000 cubic miles in the Pacific Ocean.

Cs-137 has a double decay process 94.6% of the time; first a beta ray, then a gamma ray.
So each cubic foot of the entire Pacific Ocean will have 218.174056838937 Beta radiation events per day.

So each cubic foot of the entire Pacific Ocean will have 206.392657769635 Gamma radation events per day.

This is the Cs-137 radiation breakdown pattern: [link to en.wikipedia.org]
This describes what a Gamma ray is. [link to en.wikipedia.org]
This describes what a Hertz is. [link to en.wikipedia.org]

Gamma rays have higher energy than X-rays, and they are ionizing radiation just like X-rays.

The summary is 218 plus 206 divided by 34 or 12.47058.
The number 34 is the average background radiation of the N. American continent.

The Pacific Ocean will have a "radiation fog" in every cubic foot of water that is 12.47 times HIGHER than the average background radiation count of North american continent.

Sea life will be effected in some manner; perhaps all fish will get cancer.

The impact on humanity is a shortage in sea food.

No swimming allowed until radiation levels abate to a "safe level";

... in about a few thousand years...

March 11, 2019.
With flowers, silent prayers and tearful tributes, those in the know Monday marked the eighth anniversary of a crippling earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster that devastated Japan’s northeastern coast and left some 18,500 people dead or missing.

 :( :( :( So sad this has been going on for so long without an appropriate reaction from humanity!  We should have instantly come together world wide to stifle this huge problem.......I said this once before and I'll say it again since I got favorable acceptance from some government peoples.  They told me it was a good idea and could be feasible.....I had an idea that a subterranean nuke could be used to evacuate a space below the site and then push all the wreckage in and cover it.......   This was several years ago and since then I have not heard anything regarding clean-up other then basic grab and bag method's.
  Its good to see ya still at it Thor, maybe we can get something started here on Peggy if the right people read this. lol  Even just getting an idea out into the either is a start. We can back up that idea with hope, big bucket's full of hope!.... 8) 8) 8)

I read the article and the argument that is proposed makes sense. While any nuclear accident is terrifying, and the possibility of further deaths due to the accidents is sill in play, so far, the safety of the populace seems to be ok. So Far!  ::)

   I must agree it seems so now! However I would add this, for many of the sailors that were deliberately exposed to the radiation from the bombs at the Bikini Island tests.(My father was one.) The symptoms/illnesses they contracted from said exposure didn't show up for many years. For many, like my dad symptoms came up decades after they were exposed. And indeed even the children of these sailors have been born with conditions related to the parents exposure.
   My dad had cysts growing all over the front of his forearms (He held his arms up to shield him self.) and parts of his upper chest area as well. He suffered decades after exposure with multiple types of cancer.  My brothers and sister have all had abnormal cancers and conditions like extra bones, bone cancer, skin cancer, epilepsy and other things. 
   So it can take many years even decades for related health issues to show up among humans and in the environment as well. Radiation related illnesses can take a very long time to make them selves known, even generations!   ;)

Unclear debris map casts shadow over decommissioning of Fukushima plant

The material that was lifted in the survey mostly comprised pebble-like sediment, weighing less than 1 kilogram in total. Meanwhile, fuel debris generated in the core meltdowns is estimated to total 237 metric tons at the No. 2 reactor alone and a combined 880 tons at the No. 1 through No. 3 reactors.

10 Disturbing Facts About the Aftermath of the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27OKeg_1YEg

ᴴᴰ [Documentary] Fukushima - Radioactive Forest

The Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011 turned the surrounding towns into a desolate land, making the area into a "radioactive forest". Without human presence, the land is roamed by wildlife like civets, macaques and wild boars. A project is underway to study the deserted areas by attaching a camera to wild boars to record the conditions of the former farmlands. 5 years after the disaster, we take a close look at how radiation has affected the wildlife, and what it entails for us humans.

Enough!

The Nuclear Cartel - a deadly sinister and cynical force within America’s political establishment, economic and scientific elite - is desperately trying to prevent aware Americans from recovering this nation’s foundational values of civic duty, ethical responsibility and common sense and are taking this nation down the well-beaten path to Hell with the unsolvable nuclear waste conundrum.

This travesty must be understood as to the possible ELE implications (https://climateviewer.com) and dealt with immediately. May we postulate that there are now two broad paths before us: the unsustainable nuclear train wreck that is currently forced upon us which will ultimately lead to worldwide disaster and the sustainable one we must strive for which can lead to life and prosperity for all in a nuclear-free world.

Unfortunately continuing government cover-ups, intelligence agency sabotage, nuclear industry greed, national media collusion and suppression, and malevolent special interest group agendas continue to exasperate existing problems and create new ones rather than provide solutions. If permitted to continue unabated, the ultimate end game is a dead planet.

We, the people, must also strive for deeper insights into ourselves and each other, as well as the mutual recognition of our shared past, current mutual interests and common future. In so doing, we will be poised for a major leap in the evolution of humankind which will be used to literally save the world from the continued nightmare of nuclear energy.
