Radiation Levels Skyrocket at Fukushima

Painting by Jonathan Raddatz The Accident Is NOT Contained


Record high levels of radioactive tritium have been observed in the harbor at Fukushima.
Japan Times notes:

The density of radioactive tritium in samples of seawater from near the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant doubled over 10 days to hit a record 1,100 becquerels per liter, possibly indicating contaminated groundwater is seeping into the Pacific, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said.
***
Tepco said late Monday it was still analyzing the water for strontium-90, which would pose a greater danger than tritium to human health if absorbed via the food chain. The level of cesium did not show any significant change between the two sample dates, according to the embattled utility.
On June 19, Tepco revealed that a groundwater sample taken from a nearby monitoring well was contaminated with both tritium and strontium-90.
***
During a news conference Monday in Tokyo, Masayuki Ono, a Tepco executive and spokesman, this time did not deny the possibility of leakage into the sea, while he said Tepco is still trying to determine the cause of the spike.

Kyoto reports:

A sample collected Friday contained around 1,100 becquerels of tritium per liter, the highest level detected in seawater since the nuclear crisis at the plant started in March 2011, the utility said Monday.
***
The latest announcement was made after Tepco detected high levels of radioactive tritium and strontium in groundwater from an observation well at the plant.

Indeed, the amount of radioactive strontium has skyrocketed over the last couple of months at Fukushima.
The New York Times writes:

Tokyo Electric Power, the operator of the stricken nuclear power plant at Fukushima, said Wednesday that it had detected high levels of radioactive strontium in groundwater at the plant, raising concerns that its storage tanks are leaking contaminated water, possibly into the ocean.
***
The company has struggled to store growing amounts of contaminated runoff at the plant, but had previously denied that the site’s groundwater was highly toxic….

Xinhua reports:

Very high radioactivity levels were detected in groundwater from an observation well at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, said the plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) Wednesday.
***
The observation well was set up on the Pacific side of the plant’s No. 2 reactor turbine building last December to find out the reasons why radioactivity levels in seawater near the plant remained high. The company said the sampled water could be from the contaminated water that seeped into the ground.

Reuters points out:

Testing of groundwater showed the reading for strontium-90 increased from 8.6 becquerels to 1,000 becquerels per litre between Dec. 8, 2012 and May 24.

BBC notes:

High levels of a toxic radioactive isotope have been found in groundwater at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant, its operator says.
***
Strontium-90 is formed as a by-product of nuclear fission. Tests showed that levels of strontium in groundwater at the Fukushima plant had increased 100-fold since the end of last year, Toshihiko Fukuda, a Tepco official, told media.

Other types of radioactive materials will continue to pose a hazard for decades. As nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen explains:

The radiation exposures are going up. What you’re seeing is a lot of this stuff is getting revolitalized. It’s in the first couple of inches of dust, and when the wind blows it moves into areas that have been previously cleaned.
***
This will go on for decades, as the cesium goes down in to the soil, the roots bring it back up and into the plant structures and the leaves fall on the ground and the cycle continues.

(Some portion of this radiation will hit the West Coast of North America … which may end up with even higher radioactive cesium levels than Japan.)
The bigger picture is that the Fukushima reactors are wholly uncontained … and radiation will continue to spew for decades … or centuries.
Japan Times reports:

A U.N. nuclear watchdog team said Japan may need longer than the projected 40 years to decommission the Fukushima power plant and urged Tepco to improve stability at the facility.
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency team, Juan Carlos Lentijo, said Monday that damage at the nuclear plant is so complex that it is impossible to predict how long the cleanup may last.
“As for the duration of the decommissioning project, this is something that you can define in your plans. But in my view, it will be nearly impossible to ensure the time for decommissioning such a complex facility in less than 30 to 40 years as it is currently established in the road map,” Lentijo said.
The government and Tokyo Electric Power Co. have predicted the cleanup would take up to 40 years. They still have to develop technology and equipment that can operate under fatally high radiation levels to locate and remove melted fuel. The reactors must be kept cool and the plant must stay safe and stable, and those efforts to ensure safety could slow the process down.
The plant still runs on makeshift equipment and frequently suffers glitches.
***
The problems have raised concerns about whether the plant … can stay intact throughout a decommissioning process. The problems have prompted officials to compile risk-reduction measures and review decommissioning plans.
***
“It is expectable in such a complex site, additional incidents will occur as it happened in the nuclear plants under normal operations,” Lentijo said.
***
The IAEA team urged the utility to “improve the reliability of essential systems to assess the structural integrity of site facilities, and to enhance protection against external hazards” and promptly replace temporary equipment with a reliable, permanent system.

Indeed, the locations and condition of melted Fukushima fuel is still totally unknown. Shimbun reports:

The workers have yet to gain a grasp of the locations and condition of the fuel debris. They have yet to develop extraction equipment and determine removal methods.

Mainichi notes:

Uncertainty over the location of melted fuel inside the crisis-hit Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant continues to cast a shadow over plans to remove the fuel at an early date…. Reactor Nos. 1-3 at the plant contained a total of 1,496 rods of nuclear fuel in their cores…. Each fuel rod weighs about 300 kilograms, and a high level of technical expertise would be required when undertaking a remote control operation to cut up and retrieve clumps of scattered radioactive materials weighing a combined 450 tons or thereabouts…. the cores of reactors at the Fukushima plant have holes, and the task at hand is finding which parts have been damaged.

Indeed, the technology doesn’t yet exist to contain – let alone clean up – Fukushima.
Mainichi notes:

In a news conference on June 10, a representative of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s Agency for Natural Resources and Energy said that bringing forward the plans would be dependent on developing technology, and suggested that the plans might even end up being delayed.

Scientists are considering freezing the ground around the Fukushima reactors. Australian Broadcasting Corporation reports:

The Japanese government has ordered the operator of the Fukushima nuclear plant to freeze the soil around its crippled reactor buildings to stop groundwater seeping in and becoming contaminated…. According to a report compiled by a government panel on Thursday, there are no previous examples of using walls created from frozen soil to isolate groundwater being used for longer than a few years. This means the project at the Fukushima plant poses “an unprecedented challenge in the world”.

Japan Times reports:

The panel’s draft report said the government and Tepco hope to create the frozen-soil walls between April and September 2015…. A rough estimate suggests that groundwater seepage into the basements would be reduced from 400 tons [every day] to 100 tons once the frozen-soil walls are built.

Another high-tech solution being proposed: injecting cement into the Fukushima reactors.
And then there are the spent fuel pools, which continue to be one of the main threats to Japan, the United States … and all of humanity.

More from the they are not telling us department at Fukushima

by Gaye Levy

I was all set today to put together a post on prepping when this news bit came in indicating that local law enforcement officials in the greater Seattle area are acquiring federally provided radiation-detection devices. Supposedly, these devices will be used as a tool to thwart the smuggling of a radioactive weapons in to Puget Sound. The article was titled “Police outfitted to detect radioactivity on Puget Sound”. More likely, these detectors are going to be used to test the day-glow salmon migrating in from Japan. Is S.W. being facetious? Well yes, a little. But just a little. I may have mentioned back in March that one of the first things I did after the Fukushima nuclear disaster was purchase a case of albacore tuna since it was my belief that going forward, my beloved tuna would be contaminated. So local authorities going out to test the waters so to speak? Not a bit surprising to me.
I find that there is a sudden surge of alarming news on all fronts about the goings on over in Japan:

30 Nuclear Power Plant Subcontractors Come Up Missing
Are Babies Dying in the Pacific Northwest Due to Fukushima?
Fukushima: It’s much worse than you think
Prestigious doctor: US nuclear ‘Baby valley of death,’ Millions to die

So what is the point of passing on all of this bad news?
My intent is to encourage your to continue your efforts to acquire food for long term storage but also to be careful – very careful – in your selection of food products. In addition to avoiding canned fish which likely will have come from Asian waters, I would suspect any food imports of the canned or frozen type that come from Japan and the surrounding areas. BTW, the FDA banned milk from the area around Fukushima back in March but has been slow to target any other food group. It is my understanding that fruit, vegetables and green tea will be banned soon.

Shocking New Japan Tsunami Video Found & Released On YouTube


Thursday, August 8, 2013 12:46

A shocking new Japan tsunami video has turned up and was recently published by LEAKEDCHANNEL on YouTube. This video shows the size and enormity of this tragedy in a way that hasn’t yet been seen on Beforeitsnews and elsewhere before. For your info, the water really begins flowing in at the 3 minute mark and from there prepare to be in awe by the tsunamis amazing scope and power as it destroys everything in its path.

Fukushima nightmare out of the closet


Dr. Bein did not make an error, I did. Story stands, as is, now. Follow you tube link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PrhG5gmVb8 for clarification.
Correction to my (Tracy Turner) mistake:
(paste)
10-year simulation of a single event: dispersion of cesium-137 in the Pacific. Emission events are on-going, so the “dilution” over time and space does not help. A fuller version of the scientific presentation. A comment from Berkely.com forum: [...] the driving function appears to be STEADY STATE, due to the continued flow of contaminated groundwater into the Pacific. Thus there will not be any ‘blue water’ near Japan, for a VERY LONG TIME. Still, the cesium distribution process is informative, as a preliminary projection. [...]
Compare with: simulation of cesium-137 spread in the atmosphere and ground deposition in the Northern Hemisphere.

Fukushima nightmare out of the closet

Since March 2011, based on info from independent experts, I have been calling out alarms on the emissions from the largest ever nuclear power plant disaster, and on the cover-ups, e.g. raising of safe radioactivity levels in foods and stops to radiation monitoring in Canada and the USA.
Newest on Fukushima:

• Japanese PM orders help to stem flow of radioactive water into Pacific from Fukushima
• Workers: Fukushima plant spilling contaminated water into the sea ‘for years’
• Fukushima operators admit radioactive water leaking into Pacific
• Interview with Dr Simon Atkins

Listen at minute about 25:00 about covered-up effect on fetuses in Canada and the USA.
An extract of the most important info from the interview:
AMERICANS ARE IN GRAVE DANGER DUE TO RADIATION FROM FUKUSHIMA

Please folks, listen to this interview. It contains very important information about what is really happening in the US and elsewhere as a result of radiation leaking into the ocean and the air from Fukushima, Japan. The US government is DELIBERATELY LYING to the American people and has raised the radiation limits in food more than 400%. Fish coming from the west coast and Hawaii should be avoided. An 800% increase in stillbirths along the British Columbia coastline in Canada has also been recorded.
Here are a few critical excerpts from this very important interview with Dr. Simon Atkins. Please do listen. It could save your life.
…[[A]t this current time in July of 2013, Fukushima is 80 to 100x more expansive and more intense – letting out about 100x more of the radiation of Chernobyl. The problem with Fukushima is that it’s not only continuing for 865 days… I mean, let’s wrap our minds around that for a second – it has been leaking out radiation in increasing volumes for 865 days. That’s two years, four months, 12 days to be precise – since 3/11/11. And it’s coming in the air. It’s all over the Pacific. And what we have to do is –we’ve been charting the progress of this – how it’s been affecting stillbirths – and the Canadian government let out some studies saying that it found stillbirths along the British Columbia coastline that are 800% — year over year – increased since 2011…
Hawaii is one of the states that is receiving most of the Fukushima radiation in the U.S. The other areas are the west coast of Canada… Alaska is third because the jet stream obviously functions right up into the north during the summer months — and then obviously in succession Oregon, Washington, California and then so forth further eastward, obviously. So, if the Fukushima radiation continues – God forbid – for the next five years – but that scenario is increasingly likely – the cumulative radiation in New York City will be the same in five years as it is today in Crescent City, California…
And the Obama administration, going back to Fukushima, ordered – they ordered the shutdown through the EPA — the Environmental Protection Agency — which is one of the most corrupt organizations in the US and world – because they shut down all of the west coast sensor towers for the radiation starting on April 2011. And they have not been functioning since, except for a few periods of time, and all of that information has not been shared through the free information act – which I find is just outrageous , especially when I seem to remember very clearly words from the current administration that they would be “more transparent” — which has been nothing more than a lie…
Do not – and I repeat with quite urgency – do not eat anything out of the Pacific Ocean at this time. If you are buying fish from the Seattle fish market; if you are buying tuna from a fish store in San Diego; refuse to buy it.
According to Dr. Atkins (doctor in atmospheric sciences and alternative medicine), in order of radioactive containation level, the worst are: Hawaii, British Columbia, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California… Eventually, the whole Northern Hemisphere will be affected.
There is no way to stop breathing, but at least don’t eat any Pacific food!
Spread the word.

Fukushima: Uncontainable

image source

Stephen Lendman
Activist Post

Japan's apocalypse continues. Emergency conditions persist. No end in sight looms. Fukushima's radioactive discharges can't be stopped. They continue. They're uncontainable.

At issue is by far the worst environmental disaster in history. It's multiples worse than Chernobyl. It's an unprecedented catastrophe. It's reason enough to abolish nuclear power.

According to Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, about 300 tons of radioactive groundwater flow into the Pacific daily.

It's done so since Japan's March earthquake and tsunami triggered Fukushima's meltdown.

Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) says water's getting over and around "chemical walls." It can't be stopped. Three Fukushima reactors suffered meltdowns. A fourth was badly damaged.

The worst fear remains. Unit Four's structural integrity was seriously undermined. It contains hundreds of tons of highly radioactive water. If an earthquake or other natural disaster occurs, its fuel rods almost certainly will catch fire. Radioactive emissions will follow. They'll compound what's already disastrous. Emissions will continue longterm. They'll circle the planet. They cause catastrophic harm.

Since March 2011, Tepco estimates around 20 to 40 trillion radioactive tritium becquerels leaked into the Pacific. So have large cesium and strontium discharges. They continue. They're much more dangerous.

According to nuclear expert Arnie Gunderson, "(t)he horse is already out of the barn." Leakage continues since earthquake and tsunami struck.

Radioactive water contaminates the Pacific. Gunderson's "experience with underground water is that - if it is serious at the ocean, it is more serious" on land.

Japanese officials proposed erecting a barrier. At issue is preventing water from reaching the Pacific. Whatever's done "is two years too late and will be too late by the time" construction's finished, said Gunderson.

A barrier's not the solution. It causes another problem. "If the water can't go anywhere into the Pacific Ocean, it is going to build up onsite, which means that the nuclear reactors themselves will become unstable."

The water can pull underneath the nuclear buildings and if there is an earthquake, in fact the nuclear buildings could topple. So, by solving one problem, they are creating another problem.

Gunderson believes contaminated water will keep discharging for at least 20 to 30 years. It's the most radioactive water he ever experienced.

Cost is another issue. Cleanup involves around half a trillion dollars, says Gunderson. Most important is human health.

Epidemic cancer levels are certain. And not just in Japan. In early July, Fukushima's former chief operator, Masao Yoshida, died of esophogeal cancer.

He was 58. Tepco lied saying his death was unrelated to radiation exposure. Japanese children are experiencing a shocking 40% rise in thyroid irregularities.

Experts expect much higher numbers ahead. Fukushima's an ongoing disaster. It persists. It's not ending. It'll continue for decades.

According to Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IEER) president Arjun Makhijani:

Fukushima continues to be an emergency without end - vast amounts of radioactivity, including strontium-90 in the groundwater, evidence of leaks into the sea, the prospect of contaminated seafood.

Strontium-90, being a calcium analog, bioaccumulates in the food chain. It is likely to be a seaside nightmare for decades.

It's much more dangerous than cesium 137 and 134. It's at levels 30 times higher.

So to give you an idea of the level of contamination, if somebody drank that water for a year, they would almost certainly get cancer.

So that's one problem. The other is the defenses to hold back this water from the sea seem to be overcome.

So now the contaminated waters, 70,000, 80,000 gallons, are flowing into the sea every day.

(S)ome of it will disperse and dilute. Some of it goes into the sediment, and some of it is taken up by the life in the sea.

And the unfortunate thing about strontium especially is that it bioaccumulates in algae. It bioaccumulates in fish.

It targets the bone, because it's like calcium. And so this is a problem. We don't have measurements far out to sea.

The Woods Hole Institute has done some surveys. And they were surprised by how much continuing radioactivity they found, but no clear explanation yet.

The effect on human health's expected to be devastating. It's already bad. It's getting progressively worse. The genie's out of the bottle. No end in sight looms.

Strontium-90 and cesium are both perilous. "(S)ince strontium-90 is more mobile and also more dangerous biologically, (it) behaves like calcium, so it goes to the bone."

It also bioaccumulates in the base of the food chain and algae. Ultimately because it does bioaccumulate and there is quite a lot of strontium, you could have a large part of the food chain near Fukushima being contaminated.

If pregnant women ingest contaminated water, fish or other food, "the outcomes could be worse than cancer because then you’re talking about a much more compromised child in the sense of having a compromised immune system - it makes you more vulnerable to all kinds of diseases."

Makhijani doesn't know how Tepco can handle the problem. It's uncontrollable.

It's very, very unclear to me how they are going to be able to get at this molten fuel, extract it from the bottoms of these highly damaged buildings and package it for safer or less dangerous storage or disposal.

"This is an accident that's shockingly not stopping." It's certain to worsen. It's unchartered territory.

It affects the region. It's humanity's worst environmental nightmare. Nuclear rain affects North America and Europe.

Obama's an unabashed nuclear power promoter. He wants more reactors built. He wants licenses for aging poorly maintained plants with poor safety records extended. He wants them operating unregulated.


http://www.activistpost.com/2013/08/fukushima-uncontainable.html
He's recklessly endangering Americans. He talks clean energy alternatives. Policy measures spurn them. He fronts for corporate favorites.

He's captive to a destructive industry. He risks a Fukushima-type disaster on US soil. He risks millions of American lives. He's mindless of potential dangers.

Nuclear power's inherently unsafe. Einstein called it a hellova way to boil water. It does so through massive heat. It turns it into steam. It powers an electricity generating turbine.

According to anti-nuclear activist Karl Grossman:

Avoiding potentially catastrophic accidents "requires perfection and no acts of God." Humans and technology aren't perfect. Natural and other disasters happen.

"We can't eliminate them. But we can - and must - eliminate atomic energy." Otherwise it'll eliminate us.

Nuclear expert Helen Caldicott's clear and unequivocal, saying:

As a physician, I contend that nuclear technology threatens life on our planet with extinction.

If present trends continue, the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink will soon be contaminated with enough radioactive pollutants to pose a potential health hazard far greater than any plague humanity has ever experienced."

It doesn't get any clearer than that.

A Final Comment

Cover up and denial followed Chernobyl's disaster. Helen Caldicott called doing so "the most monstrous cover up in the history of medicine."

The death toll was many multiples greater than reported. Estimates range up to a million or more.

The New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS) translated thousands of Russian articles and papers. It added "revised and updated contributions."

"Written by leading authorities from Eastern Europe, the volume outlines the history of the health and environmental consequences of the Chernobyl disaster," NYAS said.

According to the authors, official discussions from the (IAEA) and associated (UN) agencies (e.g. the Chernobyl reports) have largely downplayed or ignored many of the findings reported in the Eastern European scientific literature and consequently have erred by not including these assessments.

Fukushima far exceeds Chernobyl. Millions of lives are threatened. Perhaps future independent studies will explain. They'll be too little to late to help victims.

1,130 Tons of Contaminated Fukushima Water Dumped in Sea After Typhoon


Tuesday, September 17, 2013 20:37
Typhoon hits Fukushima and weakens containment even more

NAMIE, JAPAN – MARCH 08: Policemen stand at checkpoint in the village of Tsushima on March 8, 2013 in Namie, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.

(Before It's News)

On Tuesday, the operator of the Fukushima nuclear power plant said that over 1,000 tons of contaminated water was dumped into the sea after a typhoon hit the area.
Typhoon Man-yi hit Japan on Monday, causing heavy rains and uncontrollable floods.
“Workers measured the radioactive levels of the water collected in the enclosure walls, pumping it back into tanks when the levels were high,” said a TEPCO official.
“Once finding it was mostly rain water they released it from the enclosure, because there is a limit on how much water we can store.”
AFP reported that about 1,130 tons of water with low levels of radiation—below the 30 becquerels of strontium per liter safety limit imposed by Japanese authorities—were released into the ground.
However, members of the crew also admitted that one contaminated enclosure was leaking for an unspecified amount of time. Additionally, both TEPCO and the UN continue to raise the acceptable levels of radiation, so just because the government says its healthy, doesn’t mean that it actually is.
This is still small when compared to the 300 tons of contaminated groundwater that has been leaking into the sea every day for years.

Grim News Out Of Fukushima, Japan On Verge Of Collapse

Wednesday, September 25, 2013 8:03

A plethora of scientists and experts have chimed in recently on what is going on at the Fukushima Diachi plant that is heavily damaged and is on the verge of collapse.
- Ken Buesseler, Senior Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution: The expectation is with the increased flow from the groundwater and some of those leaky tanks, the levels will now start increasing in some of those marine organisms that we’re sampling.
- Former head of U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Gregory Jaczko, says radioactive leaks from Japan’s crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant mixed with ground water are impossible to control. What was unleashed was a force beyond human control. What you can do is try and mitigate that but you can’t really control it. You cannot control groundwater.”
- Professor Taisei Namura, Ph.D., National Institute of Biomedical Innovation (Under jurisdiction of Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, located in Osaka): Cancer doesn’t happen immediately. If you don’t recognize it and take action right now, you have no future. We must raise public awareness. We can’t rest assured just because it’s a small amount. The symptoms will not appear until decades later.
- Professor Eiji Makino, Hosei University (“One of the most traditional private universities based in Tokyo”): This tragedy has revealed that Japan’s political, social, economic, and moral standards are falling apart. I think we’re facing a big crisis. I want to stress one more time that Japan is on the verge of a collapse.

- Dean Wilkie, nuclear reactor operations, management, construction and plant engineering at a U.S. Department of Energy test reactor in Idaho: Some of these reactor vessels have had their fuel melt through the bottom of the vessel. We don’t know to what degree, they don’t either.

These guys are the experts, they know what they are talking about. These aren’t some bearded loser conspiracy nut in the basement of his mom’s house saying such alarmist things, they are scientists. This is the real deal people, take this seriously, especially those on the west coast of the US, anyone in the pacific and especially those around Japan and in Japan. This disaster is a product of our greed and own ineptitude to see that we are destroying our home and our lives. -Mort

Japan Doctors: “We Know Our Patients Have Radiation Illness” But Forced To Keep It Secret

Wednesday, October 2, 2013 5:04


Fairewinds Chief Engineer Arnie Gundersen, Oct. 1, 2013 (At 5:10 in): The problem right now is that Japanese researchers are afraid to tell the truth. We’ve got doctors calling us at Fairewinds saying, “We know our patients have radiation illness and the hospital isn’t allowing us to tell the patients that.” [...] So the last piece of this is transparency. And frankly if you leave it to the Japanese government we’re never going to get transparency. We’ve got get the people involved with an oversight panel made up of civilians who have nothing to gain, or nothing to lose from telling the truth.

Do you see this? This is scary. If pool 4 collapses, this is going to happen to everybody. Everyone will have radiation sickness and nosebleeds that we cannot stop. Yet despite this, the only organization doing anything about it is TEPCO and the Japanese government and because of, i assume, their culture, they will not ask for help or at least they havent yet. Hence why all the cover ups.

I will cotinue to cover every facet of this story just like I said I would to keep you informedon this very real, very scary and very present danger. -Mort

For Japanese Facebook and Twitter users, I’ve been asking for assistance to help spread the survey to as much of the affected people as possible using the list shown above. For users overseas, I would like to ask the following: Help me create a database out of this massive list; Help me find reliable statistics on nosebleeding in general vis-a-vis abnormal nosebleeding; and Help me devise a way to bring in the international civic community’s attention on the matter.

Japan Professor Moves Family To Australia After Finding Contradictory Levels Of Radioactivity Then What The Government Is Saying


Saturday, October 5, 2013 5:39





Linda Moulton Howe, investigative journalist (Recipient of 3 regional Emmys, a national Emmy nomination and a Station Peabody award): That professor who stays in touch me, he moved his wife and his children from Japan to Australia because he was taking a radiation monitor around his yard and school where his young children played, and he was finding enough above background that was contradicting what the Japanese government was saying was safe X miles away from Fukushima. […]


The professor has said to me, “This is a country in which everything always goes to politeness. No one talks to family about cancer or sickness, and the government does not want anyone to talk about the radiation from Fukushima.” […] Now we’re talking about a contradiction between what is a political policy, and what is the reality of a few people there who are trying to get data to the rest of us on the outside. [...]
Linda Moulton Howe is a great writer first of all (I have her UFO book) and she runs a great website too. This professor is a smart guy. That is no easy thing to do, leave your homeland, everyone you know behind like that But he did what he had to do for the safety of his family which is what any man I should think would do. He is not a sheep. He saw what he saw and fixed the problem, hopefully, by getting the hell out of Japan. I would not be suprised to see many olympians boycotting the japanese olympics in 2022 or whnever it was because ofthis. That the IOC awarded it to them in the 1st place screams bullshit whenever everyone who reads anything about Fukushima knows damn well Japan is not safe. -Mort
