Fukushima

[mbrownn]

Averaged over a year that's 173 times more radiation than I was allowed to be exposed to as a nuclear worker in one year. In other words a years dose in two days, Under the old US standards I think it's a years dose in 6 days. Time to evacuate.

I missed that Fairwinds report so thanks for that. I don't think people understand the ramifications of all this, how hard can you blow the whistle before people will wake up? As a result of this life on this planet will be irreversibly changed and things are getting worse.

Tokyo may have to evacuate...

AEC chairman warned people within 170 km of Fukushima plant might need to relocate, Mainichi, Dec. 24, 2011.
Japan Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) Chairman Shunsuke Kondo

Another hydrogen explosion could occur in the No. 1, 2 or 3 reactor buildings, raising radiation levels
Continuing aftershocks would prevent workers from cooling down the reactors for an extended period
All fuel in a pool for spent nuclear fuel in the No. 4 reactor building pool would melt

Contamination LevelsTokyo and Beyond

[H]e estimated areas within 250 kilometers from the plant, including Tokyo and Yokohama, would be contaminated with radioactive substances to a degree that residents would have to be evacuated at least temporarily.

It is a fact that the entire world is effected by Fukushima, the greatest single man made disaster on earth. Over time the deaths from this are likely to to be 100s or even 1000s of millions although it would be impossible to prove. We have shortened the lifespans of everything on the planet and we should close ALL nuclear facilities as quickly as it can be done. Now is the time to apply pressure on out out of control governments who use the waste from such plants in acts of genocide against Arab nations. It is the same governments that force us to have GMOs as food and all the other bad things happening to us.

Even the so called "pro nuclear" people accept that Fukushima is not an acceptable price to pay. Lets see if they remain pro nuclear when we send them in to clean up the mess and give them the same protection and conditions that they have given us. We can feed them 100% GMO's too in bisphenol A containers and fluoridated water. I could go on and on but I think you get my point.

2011 Fairewinds Fundraiser, Maggie Gundersen, Founding Director Fairewinds Energy Education Corp, Dec. 27, 2011:

Email Excerpts

As we wrap up 2011, we want to thank all our friends and supporters who have sustained and inspired us as we told the truth about the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in Japan.

The collusion between nuclear regulators and the nuclear industry to cover-up the truth have led many children in Japan continue to receive exposures to radiation levels more than 10 times higher than that of the average nuclear power plant worker in the US, and, children are much more sensitive to radiation exposure than adults. [...]

The on-going nuclear accident at the Fukushima nuclear plant site in Japan is the worst industrial accident the world has ever faced and the Japanese people are facing an ever unfolding and expanding tragedy of a magnitude the world has never experienced. [...]

Fairewinds and its team of volunteers will continue to raise its voice to tell the truth about the Fukushima accidents, which dwarf the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl accidents, in the ongoing tragic exposure to children in Japan and around the world. [...]

Ministry of the Environment measured cesium from well water at 4 locations in Minamisoma [25 km north of Fukushima plant]. It was about 1.3~14.7 Bq/kg, it was for drinking. The samples were taken in October and November. [...]

Title: TEPCO Notes Rise in Radioactive Leaks from Damaged Reactors
Source: Jiji Press
Date: Jan 23, 2012

[Tepco] on Monday reported an increase in radioactive materials leaking from damaged nuclear reactors [...]

The total amount of radioactive cesium that leaked from the containment vessels of the No. 1 to No. 3 reactors reached 70 million becquerels per hour, up 12 million becquerels from the December level [...]

It seems that radioactive dusts were stirred up because plant workers went inside reactor buildings and removed rubble [...]

Last month, the leaked amount was put at 10 million becquerels each for the No. 1 and No. 2 reactors and 40 million becquerels for the No. 3 reactor.

[... Tepco said] that the increase is attributable to displacement of radioactive materials that had settled on facilities and equipment, as a result of work conducted near the Nos. 2 and 3 reactors there.

The operator, known as TEPCO, has recently probed the inside of the container vessel at the No. 2 reactor with an industrial endoscope and conducted scrap work around the No. 3 reactor. [...]

Transcript Summary

Reports we are getting say infant mortality rates doubled
More important is the enormous increase in cancer deaths in children in the four counties surrounding TMI compared to the numbers previous to the accident that the health department listed even on say leukemia
Animals and plants damaged substantially
We have done an in-depth report on plant life
We are seeing many mutations
We saw the leaves the first year
All the birds on the farm disappeared
The trees, it looked like winter
Not only did we see complete defoliation, we saw trees defoliated at different levels.

I was talking with three friends today about Fukushima, Can you believe it? One of them, a now 78 year old former worker (almost twice my age) at a nuclear plant the same as me, wanted to fight me because he disagreed with what I said. He believes that the plant suffered hydrogen explosions and all is well now and it isn't as bad as Chernobyl. The level of mind control exerted on the masses by the main stream media is astonishing.
