The mainstream media and the federal government will soon have the blood of the world on it’s hands.

Radiation from the Fukushima Nuclear Plant disaster in Japan is now actively in the ecosystem all along the North American west coast… even the sea weed is now radiated. The Vancouver Sun reported one year ago that the seaweed tested from waters off the coast of British Columbia were 4 times the amount considered safe. No further test results were released after the initial report.

The governments of the United States and Canada are not conducting tests for radioactivity – at least not to the knowledge of the public. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has agreed to continue purchasing seafood from Japan, despite the fact that the food is not being tested for radioactive contamination.

Last November, independent testing in Japan showed 65 per cent of the catches tested positive for cesium (a radioactive material). Instead of refusing to purchase the poisoned fish, food safety agencies in both the United States and Canada have simply raised the “acceptable level of radiation.” We can’t go offending the Japanese after promising to buy their tainted goods, now can we?

After the North American governments refused to fund testing, oceanographer Ken Buesseler, a senior scientist at the non-profit Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Mass, along with Nicholas Fisher, a marine sciences professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and other concerned scientists, managed to secure private funding for a Pacific research voyage. The results?

Cesium levels in the Pacific had initially gone up an astonishing 45 million times above pre-accident levels. The levels then declined rapidly for a while, but after that, they unexpectedly levelled off.In July, cesium levels stopped declining and remained stuck at 10,000 times above pre-accident levels.This means the ocean isn’t diluting the radiation as expected. If it had been, cesium levels would have kept falling.The finding suggests that radiation is still being released into the ocean long after the accident in March, 2011.

Less than two weeks after the tsunami and subsequent nuclear disaster, Michael Kane, an investigative journalist, reported, “In the wake of the continuing nuclear tragedy in Japan, the United States government is still moving quickly to increase the amounts of radiation the population can “safely” absorb by raising the safe zone for exposure to levels designed to protect the government and nuclear industry more than human life.”

The radiation has absolutely reached the shores of North America. Water samples from across the continent have tested positive for unsafe levels of radioactivity. The levels exceeded federal drinking water thresholds, known as maximum contaminant levels, or MCL, by as much as 181 times.”This means that the complete ecosystem of the Pacific Ocean is now poisoned with radiation and we aren’t being warned.

Samples of milk taken across the United States have shown radiation at levels 2000 percent higher than EPA maximums. The reason that milk is so significant is that it it representative of the entire food supply. According to an article published on Natural News, “Cows consume grass and are exposed to the same elements as food crops and water supplies. In other words, when cows’ milk starts testing positive for high levels of radioactive elements, this is indicative of radioactive contamination of the entire food supply.”

The GMO Food and Drug Pushers Administration and the Environmental Deception Protection Agency, instead of refusing to prohibit the sale of tainted foods and mandatory testing of foods produced and harvested from the Pacific Coast, have simply raised the “acceptable levels” of radioactive material in foods.

Clearly, the “it’s-all-for-your-own-good” government will not protect us, or even inform us of the dangers so we can protect ourselves, because it might dip into the pockets of the global elite, the nuclear energy industry, and the food industries. There is big money behind this cover-up. Refusing to purchase and consume their tainted goods is the best way to fight back, while keeping our families safe and healthy.

How can we protect ourselves? First, be aware of what items are likely to be highly tainted.

1.) SEAFOOD: Question the origin of ALL seafood. Fish and crustaceans from the Pacific Ocean should all be considered to be poisoned with radiation.

2.) WATER: The rainfall and snowfall are all radiated. Do not drink any water that has not been filtered. The tap water that flows from your faucet has NOT been treated to rid it of radioactive particles. A recent report from the NY Times stated, “A rooftop water monitoring program managed by UC Berkeley’s Department of Nuclear Engineering detected substantial spikes in rain-borne iodine-131 during torrential downpours …

3.) DAIRY PRODUCTS: Milk and milk products from the West Coast states currently have the highest levels of radiation in North America.

4.) PRODUCE: Leafy Vegetables, Wines, Tomatoes, Strawberries….all produce from California or any other West Coast State are also likely to be tainted.

5.) MEAT: If a animal eats any leafy vegetable all along the West Coast, that animal has consumed radiation, and is poisoned. This is any animal from cows, pigs, goats, sheep to wild deer and other game.

If you eat the above foods from areas with high radiation levels, you are eating radiation and feeding it to your children. Slowly the radiation levels within your body will build up. This is PERMANENT.

Infant mortality rates across the United States have increased by more than 35% since the nuclear disaster, according to a court statement by Dr. with independent scientist Leuren Moret, MA, PhD. A study published in The International Journal of Medicine indicates that more than 20,000 deaths right here in North America can be directly attributed to the release of radioactive material from Fukushima.

Radioactive isotopes of the type released from Fukushima have a half life of 30,000 years. This means that we must permanently change the way we prepare our food.

Wash your food with soap and rinse it in filtered water.
Be aware of the origins of your vegetables, fish, game and seafood.
Keep abreast of radiation levels to help monitor where your food is acquired.
Use only filtered water for drinking, cooking and ice.

Thx Ck for posting about this, it is something I have been concerned about since the tsunami hit last year,,,,what a tragedy !
When Chernobyl melted down back in the 1980's, we were warned not to go outside during rain or snow, and not to eat the snow because the radiation was spreading globally.
Fukushima is much worse according to Nuclear Engineer Arnie Gunderson of Fairwinds. According to him we,(the U.S.) and other parts of the world are ,and have been bombarded with hot particles and will continue to be for generations to come.
From what Ive gathered through studying from reports, TEPCO(Tokyo Electric Power Company) was not being fully honest about their reports to the Japanese Govt, or the IAEA(International Atomic Energy Agency) when it came to disclosing readings and damage reports. In turn they were not being fully honest with our Govt. either.
Even now they're still not fully aware how bad the damage is because they cannot enter the internal structures where these rods are located inside the reactors to make damage assessment. They tried sending robots in but because of the radiation levels they didnt function properly and if they were to send a human in he wouldn't last but a few minutes at most if that.
This could be worse than a meltdown,,,it could be a melt through like some engineers have proposed. Scary stuff !
What gets me personally is that the media hasn't said much about this. Im not a particle physicist but from what I have gathered through information from some of the experts is that the above information that you posted is true according to what Ive personally been researching since this began.
I lost 2 grandchildren by miscarriage in the same week. Coincidence ? Maybe so but I believe people should take heed to these warnings seriously ! This imo, is much worse then what were being told.

I use to be for nuclear power and oil rigs in the gulf but not now. Many of these nuclear power plants are outdated and need to be updated. Many of them were designed to last about 20 years. Time is over for alot of them but they keep pushing them while inspectors turn their heads.

This particular situation could've been avoided if proper measures were taken in the design like they were intended in the first place. The backup generators would have worked had they built up towards the top of the hill like it was originally designed. This was addressed but the warnings were put off because they didnt intend for nature to take its course like it did.

I did a quick survey and couldn't find any data on seaweed radioactivity for 2012. I also note that it is obvious that the nuclear reactors are still spewing intense radioactivity but there's nothing on the news about that either. It's being flushed into the sea or seeping into the groundwater. This is so frightening - one that there is continuing unacceptable amts of radioactivity in seaweed, shellfish and fish - but also that its just not being talked about. Very science fiction! Maybe its already over for us. The tipping points tipped quietly in the night.

[skywalker]

My understanding of nuclear radiation and fallout is that only the radioactive particles themselves are radioactive. I don't think it is physically possible for water to "absorb" radiation. The only way that radiation from Japan could make its way across the ocean would be if the water actually carried some tiny particles of the nuclear material.

The same goes for rain or snowfall. Rain would only be radioactive if it had a particle of radioactive dust in it...which would happen if there was fallout from a nuclear bomb that was detonated. Water that evaporates from the ocean and then condenses as rain or snow would not contain any radioactive materials.

Any fish, animals or plants would also have to directly ingest or absorb some of the radioactive material in order to show any trace of radiation.

Some of the "facts" quated in that article sound kind of dubious. If there was a 35% increase in infant mortaility rates since the disaster in japan than people would definitely be hearing about it whether the news media reported it or not. There is no way they could keep something like that a secret, especially if so many people were being affected by it. I haven't heard anything about it from anybody...not even the conspiracy theorist blogs and websites.

I also question the results of their Pacific Ocean radiation test. They claim that cesium levels in the ocean are 10,000 times higher than pre accident levels and they then claim that the entire Pacific ocean ecosystem has been tainted, but that would be totally dependent on where the samples were taken. If they took them right off the coast of Japan they I could see how they would be high but that doesn't mean that the entire ocean is contaminated. They would have to take samples from all over the ocean to be able to determine that.

They also claim that ground water and milk from all over the US show increased levels of radiation but I don't see how that would be possible even if the entire ocean was contaminated. Sea water doesn't have any effect on ground water in the contenental US. All of that water comes from rain or snowfall high up in the mountains. Unless nuclear particles were released as fallout from an above ground explosion there would not be any increased radiation levels in the ground water.

If there is any nuclear contamination of the ground water or milk supply I think that it would have to come from some of the radioactive particles that were blasted all over the country by all of the nuclear bombs that were tested by the government back in the 1950s and 60s. Those radioactive dust particles will be filtering into the ground water for thousands of years. I would guess they are just now turning up in samples because people have only recently started to test for them because of all of the hysteria generated by the disaster in Japan. How often do the people in Barfbag, Oklahoma test for radiation? I bet they would find some if they did and they would probably blame it on Japan even though it may have been there for more than fifty years.

I do agree with the basic premise of the article though...that the government and the news media are lying about what is going on...just like they have been for the past sixty years. They probably lie about nuclear radiation for the same reason they lie about UFOs...because they don't want the people to panic. Back in the 50s and 60s they deliberately exposed people to dangerous levels of radiation in order to convince them it was safe, even though they knew that it wasn't. How can you ever trust a government that would do something like that?

True Sky,

Water cannot absorb radiation or have the radiation imparted to the water. Impurities in the water might become radioactive eventually over a long time.

Water is commonly used in many nuclear reactors. Water in these reactors is used as a 'moderator'. A moderator is a material that has the ability to slow down neutrons quickly and which at the same time has little tendency to absorb neutrons (as you stated). Moderator is used in thermal reactors to slow down the neutrons surrounding the fissionable fuel.

Materials used as moderators include ordinary water, heavy water, graphite, beryllium. Remember Enerco Fermi's first nuclear reactor? It was built on a hard wood floor in a space under the University of Chicago's football field in 1941-42 - the world's first sustained controlled nuclear reaction. it was built out of stacks of graphite blocks.

I would not worry about radiation so much from any nuclear reactor so much. Don't ignor the concerns either. But radiation is a fact of life both in our modern world, and very much in nature. If you want to worry about radiation, worry about your exposure to the natural fusion reactor in the sky we call the Sun. Wear #50 sun block. Skin cancer due to tans and tanning booths are the real worry.



Ordinary water surrounds the fuel rods in the controlled chain reaction seen in this photo of a
nuclear reactor. The water acts as a moderator - as the neutrons and electrons are
released from the nuclear fission - they interact the water slowing them down and creates
the characteristic beautiful blue glow known as 'Cerenkov radiation'. The reactor operates
in a very deep pool of water - which also acts as effective shielding too.

This is one of many of the videos from Nuclear and Chief Engineer for Fairwinds Association Arnie Gunderson concerning the Fukushima fallout.



This is Dr. Helen Caldicott. She does a pretty good job explaining the situation in laymans terms.

[CitizenK]

Thank you Sky, Steve, (and touched , I appreciate your input as well)...THIS is why I post stuff like this article. Different views and discussion on what is what. I don't know enough about this kind of stuff to know if what 'others' say is true or not .Then you all come along with your big brains and good knowledge to let us know this isn't really something to worry so much about! ;D I for one am very glad to hear this because I was really wondering if this was some cover up or mix up...
Thank you for allowing me to learn something new today and for taking the time to share what you know.
Much obliged indeed!

[paulette]

What part of Helen Caldicott's talk convinced you that there was nothing to worry about so much?

[Deleted]

If you're dodging bullets..does it matter where the one comes from that nails you??? It's a dangerous world that WE have created in a lot of respects. Can't be afraid to live though so...don't eat red meat often, careful of the fish you eat, don't go out without your sunblock, don't drive an Edsel, wash your veggies very carefully and be sure to boil them until there isn't a vitamin left..

I tell ya..Soylent Green is the answer..and if you don't know what that is..'wicked gleem' look it up on Google (giggle)

In talking with my doctor about gall bladders (since mine is about to be axed, he shared). There are 75% more gall bladders being removed now, than just a few years back. Fast food is the primary reason. Eventually the things will be extinct. We carry our environments around with us in our bodies (skin..organs..etc).
Salads..fresh fruit..less cooking..lean stuff and a lot less starch and fat. Of course..when it's your time..it just is. My theory..be aware but not obsessive..now ...where did I stick my foil hat?

The levels of radioactive cesium in Japan as presented by Arnie Gunderson seem valid and of concern related to the proximity of the damaged reactor in Japan in my own humble opinion.

The accumulated readings from automobile air filters in Japan, and negligible to nil readings in Seattle by contrast show this. The dispersal across the vast Pacific and into the oceans would be quite effective too.

However in the United States, along the western United States, especially along the Cascade mountain range, the only time small to noticeable readings were recorded was in April 2011 - for one month only after the Fukushima Daiichi reactor incident due to the Tsunami there. The cesium levels continued to disperse. Also fortunately, the Cascade mountain range area we well know gets ample amounts of rain fall, which is an excellent natural wash down. The automoble air fliter accumulative measurements over a wider time window in Seattle from Arnie Gunderson seems also strongly support this.

Watched Dr. Helen Caldicott's presentation too. In contrast, her presentation comes across as indisputably well meaning as she is - but alarmist. Millions of Russians may have died due to the Chernobyl incident. It might be partially true - but how can that be established as to the exact cause? I don't think it can. However likely or unlikely compared to other causes? Statistically, millions of Russians (like everywhere else) may have died since anyway for all reasons.

Several experiancers I know have had cancer, and I have been permitted to see copies of their medical records to show it. Some MD's treating them according to the experiancers have mentioned in one case their form of cancer was rather unusual and unique - rarely seen except by those historically connected to the Manhattan Project they claimed.

But when I presented this to a close friend and practicing medical Doctor MD for his medical opinion, he stated there was no way to ever tell how they could have gotten their cancers. The question by the experiencers originally posed was could they have been exposed to dangerous radiation aboard the craft? This based on never recalling in their lives a time when they might have been knowingly in proximinity to potential high radiation (excluding the Sun). There was no way to ever know. As likely as much of Dr. Helen Caldicott's assertions might be about Chernobyl, there is no way to pinpoint that. Knowing that, it harms many of her other assertions perhaps about Fukushima Daiichi too.

I am much more worried about increased levels of skin cancer due to natural exposure to the Sun. Medical dermatologists have proven that at least. More concern to me in my own opinion is to preserve our planets atmosphere's protective ozone layer instead.

Remember those Sci Fi movies about people living underground because of the sun's lethal rays? Sometimes I wonder if Science Fiction writers are actually psychics in disguise.

I had similar thoughts when a close flyby of the Cassini satellite on February 13, 2010, revealed the Saturnian moon Mimas has a striking resemblance to George Lucas's Death Star. Kind of an unsettling co-incidence?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimas_(moon)

When seen from certain angles, Mimas closely resembles the Death Star, a fictional space station known from the film Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, which is said to be roughly 140 kilometres in diameter. This resemblance stems from the fact that Herschel can appear in Mimas' northern hemisphere, much like the concave disc of the Death Star's "superlaser". This is purely coincidental, as the first film was made three years before the first close-up photographs of Mimas were taken.[17]

In 2010, NASA revealed a temperature map of Mimas, using images obtained by Cassini. The warmest regions, which are along one edge of the moon, create a shape similar to the video game character Pac-Man, with Herschel Crater assuming the role of an "edible dot" known from Pac-Man gameplay.[18][19][20]

Hi all!

CK - thanks for beginning this thread!

I've read what people have to say on this issue. IMO yes, have an awareness about it in the back of your mind but don't let it run your life (or indeed ruin it!). Maybe cut back a bit on the seafood if you're overly concerned about it - but I'd take what Sky & Steve have been saying as a somewhat more accurate response to the situation. As a radio-active aside (& hope this may act as a, however small, reassurance !), when I was a little boy ( :)only 2 yrs ago !!) I grew up & went to school in a town called Reading. Just outside Reading was an establishment that did not exist - there were road signs to it, but it was not on any map and there was a public footpath shown on the map as going through the middle of it - this was the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment where the UK built their nukes! In physics at school our teacher took out a hardwood box, about 8 inches cubed and lead lined. This contained uranium! He opened the box and showed us a Geiger counter reading of it - and told us that if there was a fire at school, not only would the fire brigade come, but also a team from the AWRE to ensure any radiation could be safely dealt with. We gazed at this with awe - right until he put the counter to his watch and gained a much higher reading from his luminous dial ;D ;D ;D !!! My point with the tiny aside ( !!) was to just say don't worry too much about these things - you're probably more at risk from the naturally occurring radiation from the sun! So don't forget to use your suncream !!!

TTFN!
Take care, seek peace and SMILE!

Lauren Moret : Nuclear Genocide of Babies and Children in Japan, U.S., Canada Grows

My expertise:

I am an international specialist on ionizing radiation, an independent scientist and educator, and the first woman to graduate with a BS in Geology from UC Davis, earned a Masters degree in Near Eastern Studies from UC Berkeley, and a PHD in the Geosciences from UC Davis (all but dissertation). I am the recipient of a UC President’s Mentoring Fellowship in the Sciences at UC Davis, and selected as one of the five most promising young scientists at UC Davis. I am the Past President of the Association for Women Geoscientists, an international women’s science organization, and have conducted scientific research and given talks in 50 countries on the effects of radiation on the environment and public health. I collected over 6000 baby teeth with the Radiation and Public Health Project, from children living in the US, UK, and Japan, within 100 miles of nuclear power plants, and we discovered that the radiation levels are higher today because of nuclear power pollution than during atmospheric bomb testing. Between 2000 and 2011, I made 20 speaking tours in Japan on radiation related issues. During a one-month speaking tour of Japan in 2005, Dr. Ernest Sternglass and I met with TEPCO officials, on the first day of operations at Rokkasho nuclear reprocessing plant in Aomori prefecture, to protest the impact on the environment and public health from highly radioactive emissions, releases, and accidents at the facility.

I have written and been interviewed widely on radiation issues in publications such as The Japan Times, the International Herald Tribune, the San Francisco Bay View, and wrote the Foreword to Akira Tashiro’s famous book Discounted Casualties: The Human Cost of Depleted Uranium. I have also been in many radiation related documentaries, appeared on television (NHK, Press TV, Malaysian TV, Istanbul TV, KITV ABC Honolulu), and have many videos with radiation information posted on the Internet.

I have been an official science advisor to Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, provided scientific advice to members of the Japanese Parliament, and am an official expert witness on uranium issues for MP Alex Atamanenko in the Canadian Parliament. I have also been an expert witness on depleted uranium for the Tokyo International War Crimes Tribunal for Afghanistan in 2003, on the organizing committee of the Istanbul International War Crimes Tribunal for Iraq in 2003, and was invited to be a keynote speaker by Tun Dr. Mahathir, former Prime Minister of Malaysia, at the Kuala Lumpur International War Crimes Conference in 2007 and in 2009, and submitted two official Complaints on Depleted Uranium Weapons to the Kuala Lumpur International War Crimes Conference for Iraq in 2010.

China is also going to take some of them supposedly. I think this is far greater than ppl want us to know!

Im not an expert either Ck. I have worked at 2 different coal burning power plants (7/12's), (for safety construction purposes), and have ordered lock down -shut off- tag outs before when I seen a problem. It is very dangerous work that requires working in situations that are high up in the air,especially when working in the superheats. I love heights !! ;D

At the end of the day I would go back to my white Pontiac Grand Prix and it would be covered in black muck from the emissions (cough ,cough, hack ;D)

I was also asked to work for a nuclear power plant which I respectfully declined. I didn't want to come home to my family glowing in the dark so to speak. It would've required entering radioactive areas with the special hazmat suits and going through the showers for de-contamination. Not only was the pay about 5/hr. less,,,,it just wasn't my cup of tea.

Im not for coal plants either,,,even more so than nuke plants (I use to be for nuke plants like Id previously mentioned). I wont change my mind about them(nuke plants) until more safety measures are put in place. I personally wish they (military) would have continued experimenting with liquid fueled thorium plants(Oak Ridge Laboratory in Tennessee). Its too bad they stopped and didn't pursue them further Imho !!

I would like to see an increase in solar cells and wind turbines as long as they keep them in areas in which they aren't so obvious, like death valley for instance. I know the costs are high but what isn't these days ?

I just feel we owe it to our kids/ grandkids to make the proper changes to ensure they have the opportunity to enjoy this planet too, and for generations to come.

Documents obtained from the US government through FOIA requests, being dubbed Plume-Gate by the alternative media, reveal the US has colluded in the cover up of the disaster as well.

About this video

While traveling in Japan several weeks ago, Fairewinds’ Arnie Gundersen took soil samples in Tokyo public parks, playgrounds, and rooftop gardens. All the samples would be considered nuclear waste if found here in the US. This level of contamination is currently being discovered throughout Japan. At the US NRC Regulatory Information Conference in Washington, DC March 13 to March 15, the NRC’s Chairman, Dr. Gregory Jaczko emphasized his concern that the NRC and the nuclear industry presently do not consider the costs of mass evacuations and radioactive contamination in their cost benefit analysis used to license nuclear power plants. Furthermore, Fairewinds believes that evacuation costs near a US nuclear plant could easily exceed one trillion dollars and contaminated land would be uninhabitable for generations.

According to Professor of Physics Michio Kaku and others, at least 3 reactors were at 100% core meltdown. The radiation didn't just emit during the month of April only, even in June of last year radiation was still spewing from the plant . It was claimed that cold shutdown commenced earlier this year but I question that along with many others.

I heard in a report that radiation was still being released. ( I'll have to double check that though because of the timeline in my notes).

Another thing of major concern is reactor unit 4 even now and ongoing. There are reports that the building is collapsing. Inside are about 1500 rods sitting there and because the crane that is suppose to move them is destroyed,,, well,,,

Here's what Chief Engineer Arnie Gunderson has to say about this and I quote: "This is the building today that could cut Japan in half if there's a major seismic event" end quote.

According to Professor Michio Kaku,,,"this could be the grand daddy of all industrial accidents". According to him,"its hanging on by its fingernails."

I personally pray this doesn't happen !

This is much more serious then what we were/are being told !!

Gunderson : One Year Anniversary Of Fukushima Daiichi

[spacemaverick]

Japanese Seaweed Purchased in California Tests at 94% Above Normal Levels

theintelhub.com
April 23, 2012

An April 13th radiation test of Japanese Nori Seaweed conducted by the EnviroReporter showed levels 94.7% above normal levels.

This organic, trendy food has been shown to be chalked full of above normal levels of radiation while the US government continues its large scale cover up.

In an extensive article on their website the tests are explained and compared to past radiation readings of Japanese seaweed.

These tests were performed with an Inspector Alert nuclear radiation monitor, the same detector Enviroreporter.com used in over 1,500 tests for Fukushima radiation beginning four days after the March 11th, 2011 triple meltdowns at the destroyed Fukushima Daiichi six-reactor complex in Japan.

Sadly the Japanese and American governments are NOT testing foods despite the fact that this type of seaweed is sold in at least 50 stores in Southern California

Thank you both so much for sharing this...it is hard to know sometimes what is what with all the info and disinfo out there on the internet. I am glad to know the facts, even if they are not good news for anyone. I think this is such an outrage that we aren't being told about it! Why put ppl in danger of contamination when there are things we could do to prevent mass problems! Never mind, I already know the sad answer to this question...Keep reporting, I want to know what you know.

Ron Wyden's nuclear field trip
Published: Sunday, April 22, 2012, 7:18 PM

Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden's recent daylong field trip from Tokyo to the zone of Japan's nuclear devastation is worth at least a week in the telling. Bunny-suited with a breathing device for protection against radiation exposure, Wyden walked through the ruined Fukushima Dai-ichi complex and saw what few from the West have seen: another bomb waiting to go off.

The senator is not typically alarmist. But his field notes, followed by letters to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Energy Secretary Steven Chu, signal alarm. They paint a picture of extreme nuclear vulnerability, especially in Reactor No. 4, inactive at the time of the quake and tsunami but wrecked by explosion. The reactor now warehouses Fukushima's hottest inventory of radioactive fuel rods in a seismically jittery part of the world.

The Highest Risk: Problems of Radiation at Reactor Unit 4, Fukushima Daiichi
Shaun Burnie, Matsumura Akio and Murata Mitsuhei

The Risks to Japan From Fukushima

Shaun Burnie

Comment on the article by Matsumura Akio and correspondence of Murata Mitsuhei.

The efforts of two Japanese citizens to raise awareness of the risk of a further major accident at Fukushima are to be commended. More than 13 months after the accident began – the threats from the Fukushima Daiichi site are multi-dimensional and on-going, but the under reporting of these risks as a result of nuclear crisis fatigue tied with the 24 hour news cycle can lead to a complacency on the current and future reality at the site.

The specific issue highlighted by Matsumura and Murata is the risk and consequences of the failure of the spent fuel pool at the destroyed reactor unit 4 at Fukushima Daiichi. As they report the spent fuel inventory at this pool is the largest of all 4 reactors that were destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami in March 2011.

This is what that building for reactor 4 looks like now and it has the largest fuel pool.

One recent radiation map website writes - "Are your friends panicked by media coverage of the event? Share this page so they can see things are currently normal. You can scroll and zoom around the map."

Here are some real time radiation maps - Geiger counters set up by people linked over the Internet to monitor atmospheric radiation levels. All showing quite normal at present.

Visit them as often as you feel you need to.

Interesting. I don't think that we are in an "On the Beach" reality yet (although the Japanese may well be). But adding this to all the other tipped systems - dead zones in the oceans, dragged clean areas on the continental shelves, various chemical experiments including dumping (Corexit and Fracking), re-configuring DNA (GMOs) etc etc etc suggests a fractal convening event or events that result in inedible food, undrinkable water, and unsafe environments. I remember various sci-fi stories (I wish I remembered the authors) in which there are huge "hot zones" where the remaining humans know not to go. And the remaining population is vigilent to kill infants that show mutations. Of course all mutations are not necessarily "bad". That is the understory of the story. I was young! This was fiction!! Someone quoted here recently - maybe sci-fi writers have esp. There is show on that features a particular writer per session and talks about the inventions that came AFTER his writing about them in fiction. Heinland and Wells have been two that I happened to see. Maybe Ursula LeGuinn is one that people should revisit. (Her stories feature groups that have esp and what they do with that power). Look up the women authors....they were less obsessed with gadgets and space transport as a solution to Earth's problems.

I donno. Thanks Steve. I appreciate and consider all information. I don't trust mainstream ones 100% but neither do I trust the videos with someone shakily holding up a map or graph. It's all info. Do I think my government would tell me if we began to note signficant radiation in our seaweed, seafood, the drift material on the beach? Nope. I don't. I'm going to Haida Gwaii - which is reporting items washing ashore now - they sent some kids soccer ball back to him because his name was on it (It's all he has left of his possessions). I think I will not pick up flotsam no matter how intreguing it is.

One thing of major importance to consider in this ongoing situation that cannot be denied is the fact that there is still a major problem in Japan. There are dead zones covering wide areas which will remain uninhabitable for generations to come. Do we want this to happen here at home and abroad ?

The mark 1 reactor caught fire -before- the tsunami hit land and reached the reactor. This verifies that the cause was from the earthquake,,, not just the tsunami . The situation however, was intensified by the effects of the tsunami also. This is a terrible tragedy for the Japanese people and all of those who have been affected.

Can this same scenario happen in the U.S. and elsewhere ? Absolutely! There are over 20 of these particular Mark 1 reactors right here in the U.S. ! To me, personally, this isn't about debate,,who's right or wrong,,,its about awareness ,,,at least on my part.

Mr. Gunderson was accused of being a fearmonger by Rush Limbaugh. If anything, like Mr. Gunderson said, he was actually being conservative in his assessment of the situation.

I personally listen to the experts when I form my conclusions to this situation because of the gravity of this situation and the implications for humanity involved. I do not wish to spread fear,,,or argue and debate as to who is right or wrong ,,,only awareness to what the experts say! This is my objective. I understand however that many will have things to discuss or add on the other side of the spectrum and I personally don't have a problem with that, that's why were here. I respect the viewpoints of others, though I may not agree. I feel changes need to be made and hope to help address this issue.

Going back to the tsunami. Again,,,can it happen in the U.S.? According to Mr. Gunderson, it can. In this next video Mr. Gunderson addresses his concern in what could be a critical situation. This is what he has to say about these Mark 1 reactors here in the U.S..

According to Mr. Gunderson :
One of the NRC's Senior staffers blurted out that "the Mark 1 containment is the worst containment design he's ever seen." According to Mr. Gunderson " for 40 years everybodies known that, but everybodies ignored it."

This is the same design at Vermont-Yankee and 23 others here in the U.S..
