The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster: This Is Disturbing News - Your Days Of Eating Pacific Ocean Fish Are Over... And Fukushima Is 1000x Worse Than We Thought!

With all of the world's attention focused exclusively on the situation with Syria these days, there is indeed news happening elsewhere, especially with very disturbing reports about the situation at Fukushima Japan.

For this article, I want to present the following very disturbing report that comes from the website: Natural Blaze, at www.naturalblaze.com.  It is entitled: "Fukushima: Your Days Of Eating Pacific Ocean Fish Are Over",  and as the title states, the entire Pacific Ocean as a major source of food for at least a billion people is no longer available due to radiation from Fukushima!   I have the link to this important report right here for everyone to see for themselves ...

http://www.naturalblaze.com/2013/08/fukushima-your-days-of-eating-pacific.html

When it comes to environmental disasters, the nuclear fallout at Fukushima has to be amongst the worst that has happened in the past few decades.

Gary Stamper, a writer for Falling into Consciousness, has put together a great resource of information that tracks what has been developing over time in Fukushima as it relates to the nuclear incident. Here is an excerpt from his research, be sure to check out the link below to get access to all of his tireless research. - See more at: http://www.naturalblaze.com/2013/08/fukushima-your-days-of-eating-pacific.html#sthash.GJ8L1wsF.dpu

Now comes the second part to this report, and probably even more disturbing... I want to present the following video, where Kevin Kamps of the group "Beyond Nuclear" explains to Thom Hartmann that the situation at Fukushima is far worse than what the media continues to promote.. And in fact, it is 1000x worse than what we thought!  I have that video right here, and of course my comments to follow:

“The heart-breaking news from Fukushima continues to get worse -a lot worse. It is, quite simply, an out-of-control flow of death and destruction. 
TEPCO is finally admitting that radiation has been leaking to the Pacific Ocean all along and it’s not showing signs of stopping just yet. 
It now appears that anywhere from 300 to possibly over 450 tons of contaminated water that contains radioactive iodine, cesium, and strontium-89 and 90, is flooding into the Pacific Ocean from the Fukushima Daiichi site everyday. 
To give you an idea of how bad that actually is, Japanese experts estimate Fukushima’s fallout at 20-30 times as high as as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombings in 1945. 
There’s a lot you’re not being told. Oh, the information is out there, but you have to dig pretty deep to find it, and you won’t find it on the corporate-owned evening news.

NTS Notes:  For over two years now, I have implored everyone to go after their governments and demand that they stop this wasteful and ridiculous rush to war for the terrorist state of Israel, and instead fully concentrate on fixing this life threatening situation at Fukushima, Japan.   Now we are seeing the consequences for ignorance and stupidity with this scathing report that no only is the Pacific Ocean no longer available as a source for food...But that the situation is far far worse than what we have all been falsely led to believe.

Yes, most of the fish and other life in the Pacific Ocean is now contaminated with nuclear particles from the disaster at Fukushima and now made unedible.    This is indeed a disaster, considering the importance of the Pacific Ocean fisheries for human consumption!

And the video is especially damning... It shows that we are again being lied to as to the severity of this disaster at Fukushima, and that it is as I have always been saying to be... A truly life on earth threatening situation.

Again, lets go after the criminals in our governments and demand them to stop their insane rush to war against Syria based on lies.... The Fukushima disaster is now beginning to destroy our food supply and potentially end all life on this planet as well....

More to come

The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster: What's Really Going On At Fukushima?

It is now 4 years and 3 months since the March 11th, 2011 disaster that caused the meltdown of at least 3 nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daicchi nuclear power facility at Fukushima, Japan.... That disaster was a direct result of the criminal state of Israel deploying its insidious Stuxnet virus to the Siemens control systems at the plant which regulated the water flows to the reactors for cooling... The virus caused the systems to malfunction and the reactors received little to no water as a result... The reactors then began to overheat and meltdown with massive hydrogen gas explosions at 2 of the reactors at least....  The resultant release of nuclear radioactive material into the atmosphere and the surrounding Japanese countryside has become an unmitigated disaster that continues to this day....

I have been absolutely appalled at the complete lack of any true news coming from the Jew spew media outlets and our criminal governments about this disaster that is absolutely still out of control.... I have already presented many articles over the last 4 years that show that Fukushima is a catastrophe that if left unchecked could still spell the deaths of millions if not billions of people world wide... And for right now, I want to present a new report that comes from the Counterpunch website, at www.counterpunch.org that gives a very factual report of what is happening at Fukushima right now... The report is entitled: "What's Really Going On At Fukushima?" and I have it right here in its entirety for all of my own readers to view for themselves... I have my usual thoughts and comments to follow:


The Real Story

What’s Really Going on at Fukushima?

by ROBERT HUNZIKER
 
Fukushima’s still radiating, self-perpetuating, immeasurable, and limitless, like a horrible incorrigible Doctor Who monster encounter in deep space.

Fukushima will likely go down in history as the biggest cover-up of the 21st Century. Governments and corporations are not leveling with citizens about the risks and dangers; similarly, truth itself, as an ethical standard, is at risk of going to shambles as the glue that holds together the trust and belief in society’s institutions. Ultimately, this is an example of how societies fail.

Tens of thousands of Fukushima residents remain in temporary housing more than four years after the horrific disaster of March 2011. Some areas on the outskirts of Fukushima have officially reopened to former residents, but many of those former residents are reluctant to return home because of widespread distrust of government claims that it is okay and safe.

Part of this reluctance has to do with radiation’s symptoms. It is insidious because it cannot be detected by human senses. People are not biologically equipped to feel its power, or see, or hear, touch or smell it (Caldicott). Not only that, it slowly accumulates over time in a dastardly fashion that serves to hide its effects until it is too late.

Chernobyl’s Destruction Mirrors Fukushima’s Future

As an example of how media fails to deal with disaster blowback, here are some Chernobyl facts that have not received enough widespread news coverage: Over one million (1,000,000) people have already died from Chernobyl’s fallout. 

Additionally, the Rechitsa Orphanage in Belarus has been caring for a very large population of deathly sick and deformed children. Children are 10 to 20 times more sensitive to radiation than adults. 

Zhuravichi Children’s Home is another institution, among many, for the Chernobyl-stricken: “The home is hidden deep in the countryside and, even today, the majority of people in Belarus are not aware of the existence of such institutions” (Source: Chernobyl Children’s Project-UK).

One million (1,000,000) is a lot of dead people. But, how many more will die? Approximately seven million (7,000,000) people in the Chernobyl vicinity were hit with one of the most potent exposures to radiation in the history of the Atomic Age. 

The exclusion zone around Chernobyl is known as “Death Valley.” It has been increased from 30 to 70 square kilometres. No humans will ever be able to live in the zone again. It is a permanent “dead zone.”

Additionally, over 25,000 died and 70,000 disabled because of exposure to extremely dangerous levels of radiation in order to help contain Chernobyl. Twenty percent of those deaths were suicides, as the slow agonizing “death march of radiation exposure” was too much to endure.

Fukushima- The Real Story

In late 2014, Helen Caldicott, M.D. gave a speech about Fukushima at Seattle Town Hall (9/28/14). Pirate Television recorded her speech; here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qX-YU4nq-g

Dr. Helen Caldicott is co-founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility, and she is author/editor of Crisis Without End: The Medical and Ecological Consequences of the Fukushima Nuclear Catastrophe, The New Press, September 2014. For over four decades Dr. Caldicott has been the embodiment of the anti-nuclear banner, and as such, many people around the world classify her as a “national treasure”. She’s truthful and honest and knowledgeable.

Fukushima is literally a time bomb in quiescence. Another powerful quake and all hell could break loose. Also, it is not even close to being under control. Rather, it is totally out of control. According to Dr. Caldicott, “It’s still possible that Tokyo may have to be evacuated, depending upon how things go.” Imagine that!

According to Japan Times as of March 11, 2015: “There have been quite a few accidents and problems at the Fukushima plant in the past year, and we need to face the reality that they are causing anxiety and anger among people in Fukushima, as explained by Shunichi Tanaka at the Nuclear Regulation Authority. Furthermore, Mr. Tanaka said, there are numerous risks that could cause various accidents and problems.”

Even more ominously, Seiichi Mizuno, a former member of Japan’s House of Councillors (Upper House of Parliament, 1995-2001) in March 2015 said: “The biggest problem is the melt-through of reactor cores… 

We have groundwater contamination… The idea that the contaminated water is somehow blocked in the harbor is especially absurd. It is leaking directly into the ocean. There’s evidence of more than 40 known hotspot areas where extremely contaminated water is flowing directly into the ocean… We face huge problems with no prospect of solution.” (Source: Nuclear Hotseat #194: Fukushima 4th Anniversary – Voices from Japan, March 10, 2015, http://www.nuclearhotseat.com/2468/)

At Fukushima, each reactor required one million gallons of water per minute for cooling, but when the tsunami hit, the backup diesel generators were drowned. Units 1, 2, and 3 had meltdowns within days. There were four hydrogen explosions. Thereafter, the melting cores burrowed into the container vessels, maybe into the earth. 

According to Dr. Caldicott, “One hundred tons of terribly hot radioactive lava has already gone into the earth or somewhere within the container vessels, which are all cracked and broken.” Nobody really knows for sure where the hot radioactive lava resides. The scary unanswered question: Is it the China Syndrome?

Following the meltdown, the Japanese government did not inform people of the ambient levels of radiation that blew back onto the island. Unfortunately and mistakenly, people fled away from the reactors to the highest radiation levels on the island at the time.

As the disaster happened, enormous levels of radiation hit Tokyo. The highest radiation detected in the Tokyo Metro area was in Saitama with cesium radiation levels detected at 919,000 becquerel (Bq) per square meter, a level almost twice as high as Chernobyl’s “permanent dead zone evacuation limit of 500,000 Bq” (source: Radiation Defense Project). For that reason, Dr. Caldicott strongly advises against travel to Japan and recommends avoiding Japanese food.

Even so, post the Fukushima disaster, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed an agreement with Japan that the U.S. would continue importing Japanese foodstuff. Therefore, Dr. Caldicott suggests people not vote for Hillary Clinton. One reckless dangerous precedent is enough for her.

According to Arnie Gundersen, an energy advisor with 39 years of nuclear power engineering experience, as reported in The Canadian on August 15, 2011: “The US government has come up with a decision at the highest levels of the State Department, as well as other departments who made a decision to downplay Fukushima. In April, the month after the powerful tsunami and earthquake crippled Japan including its nuclear power plant, Hillary Clinton signed a pact with Japan that she agreed there is no problem with Japanese food supply and we will continue to buy them. So, we are not sampling food coming in from Japan.”

However, in stark contrast to the United States, in Europe Angela Merkel, PhD physics, University of Leipzig and current chancellor of Germany is shutting down all nuclear reactors because of Fukushima. 

Maybe an advanced degree in physics makes the difference in how a leader approaches the nuclear power issue. It certainly looks that way when comparing/contrasting the two pantsuit-wearing leaders, Chancellor Merkel and former secretary of state Clinton. 

After the Fukushima blow up, ambient levels of radiation in Washington State went up 40,000 times above normal, but according to Dr. Caldicott, the U.S. media does not cover the “ongoing Fukushima mess.” So, who would really know?

Dr. Caldicott ended her speech on Sept. 2014 by saying: “In Fukushima, it is not over. Everyday, four hundred tons of highly radioactive water pours into the Pacific and heads towards the U.S. Because the radiation 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.” 

Furthermore, according to Dr. Caldicott: “Rainwater washes over the nuclear cores into the Pacific. There is no way they can get to those cores, men die, robots get fried. Fukushima will never be solved. 

Meanwhile, people are still living in highly radioactive areas.”

Fukushima will never be solved because “men die” and “robots get fried.” By the sounds of it, Fukushima is a perpetual radiation meltdown scenario that literally sets on the edge of a bottomless doomsday pit, in waiting to be nudged over.

UN All-Clear Report

A UN (UNSCEAR) report on April 2, 2014 on health impacts of the Fukushima accident concluded that any radiation-induced effects would be too small to identify. People were well protected and received “low or very low” radiation doses. UNSCEAR gave an all-clear report.

Rebuttal of the UNSCEAR report by the German affiliate of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War d/d July 18, 2014 takes a defiant stance in opposition to the UN report, to wit: 

“The Fukushima nuclear disaster is far from over. Despite the declaration of ‘cold shutdown’ by the Japanese government in December 2011, the crippled reactors have not yet achieved a stable status and even UNSCEAR admits that emissions of radioisotopes are continuing unabated. 188 TEPCO is struggling with an enormous amount of contaminated water, which continues to leak into the surrounding soil and sea. Large quantities of contaminated cooling water are accumulating at the site. Failures in the makeshift cooling systems are occurring repeatedly. The discharge of radioactive waste will most likely continue for a long time.”

Both the damaged nuclear reactors and the spent fuel ponds contain vast amounts of radioactivity and are highly vulnerable to further earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons and human error. Catastrophic releases of radioactivity could occur at any time and eliminating this risk will take many decades… It is impossible at this point in time to come up with an exact prognosis of the effects that the Fukushima nuclear disaster will have on the population in Japan… the UNSCEAR report represents a systematic underestimation and conjures up an illusion of scientific certainty that obscures the true impact of the nuclear catastrophe on health and the environment.”

Fukushima’s Radiation and the Future 

Mari Yamaguchi, Associated Press (AP), June 12, 2015: “Four years after an earthquake and tsunami destroyed Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant, the road ahead remains riddled with unknowns… 

Experts have yet to pinpoint the exact location of the melted fuel inside the three reactors and study it, and still need to develop robots capable of working safely in such highly radioactive conditions. And then there’s the question of what to do with the waste… serious doubts about whether the cleanup can be completed within 40 years.”

Although the Chernobyl accident was a terrible accident, it only involved one reactor. With Fukushima, we have the minimum [of] 3 reactors that are emitting dangerous radiation. The work involved to deal with this accident will take tens of years, hundreds of years,” Prof. Hiroaki Koide (retired), Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute, April 25, 2015. “It could be that some of the fuel could actually have gone through the floor of the containment vessel as well… What I’ve just described is very, very logical for anyone who understands nuclear engineering or nuclear energy,” which dreadfully spells-out: THE CHINA SYNDROME.

According to the Smithsonian, April 30, 2015: “Birds Are in a Tailspin Four Years After Fukushima: Bird species are in sharp decline, and it is getting worse over time… Where it’s much, much hotter, it’s dead silent. You’ll see one or two birds if you’re lucky.” Developmental abnormalities of birds include cataracts, tumors, and asymmetries. Birds are spotted with strange white patches on their feathers.

Maya Moore, a former NHK news anchor, authored a book about the disaster: The Rose Garden of Fukushima (Tankobon, 2014), about the roses of Mr. Katsuhide Okada. Today, the garden has perished: “It’s just poisoned wasteland. The last time Mr. Okada actually went back there, he found baby crows that could not fly, that were blind. Mutations have begun with animals, with birds.” 

The Rose Garden of Fukushima features a collection of photos of an actual garden that existed in Fukushima, Japan. Boasting over 7500 bushes of roses and 50-thousand visitors a year, the Garden was rendered null and void in an instant due to the triple disaster — earthquake, tsunami, and meltdown.

The forward to Maya’s book was written by John Roos, former US Ambassador to Japan 2009-13: “The incredible tale of Katz Okada and his Fukushima rose garden was told here by Maya Moore… gives you a small window into what the people of Tohoku faced.”

Roos’ “small window” could very well serve as a metaphor for a huge black hole smack dab in the heart of civilization. Similarly, Fukushima is a veritable destruction machine that consumes everything in its path, and beyond, and its path is likely to grow. For certain, it is not going away. 

Thus, TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) is deeply involved in an asymmetric battle against enormously powerful unleashed out-of-control forces of E=mc2

Clearly, TEPCO has its back to the wall. Furthermore, it’s doubtful TEPCO will “break the back of the beast.” In fact, it may be an impossible task.

Maybe, just maybe, Greater Tokyo’s 38 million residents will eventually be evacuated. Who knows for sure?

Only Godzilla knows!

NTS Notes:  WHY am I not surprised by the findings in this report?  I have tried for years to get people to understand that the Fukushima disaster is absolutely OUT OF CONTROL... Unlike the so called reports that we have seen by the liars in our Jew spew media and governments that stupidly claim that Fukushima is no longer a "disaster"!

The fact is that right now the west coast of the United States and Canada is being bathed by a constant amount of radiation that indeed comes from the still ongoing Fukushima disaster... Sadly, too many people were fooled when the criminals in our media downplayed the radioactivity measured by Geiger counters on California beaches last year claiming that it was from a different source other than Fukushima! 

I can guarantee that we will be seeing a massive upswing in terms of Cancer cases and other radiation caused diseases for anyone living on the Pacific coast very soon, and even then the liars in our media and governments will attempt to have that downplayed and claim that it has nothing to do with Fukushima.

We have also seen so many reports coming out about massive fish "die offs" happening in the Pacific right now, and strangely the liars in our governments and media downplay this disaster to west coast fisheries by claiming that the problem lies elsewhere.. Very few are willing to even admit that the problem lies directly with TEPCO from day one having no choice but to dump the radioactive waste water from the Fukushima disaster directly into the Pacific Ocean....The result is turning the entire north Pacific Ocean into a massive dead zone and absolutely killing off all animals that live in that water...

As I have stated many times.. Take this and other reports about the Fukushima disaster and let everyone know that this disaster is absolutely out of control with no end in sight... People must go after the liars in our media and especially in our governments demanding that they stop their senseless push for wars for the criminal state of Israel and instead actually concentrate their efforts in saving the planet from this disaster... That time is now..

The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster: The Dangerous Myths Of Fukushima!

It is almost exactly one full year since the earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent meltdown of at least 4 nuclear reactors at the Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) facility at Fukushima Japan.   Since that time, I and others, have been absolutely alarmed at the lack of proper reporting about how bad that nuclear disaster truly is.   The lies put out by our governments and media have been deeply disturbing and outright fraudulent.    Real reports have been only available through Internet reports such as the ones I have been bringing forward here...

For this article, I want to present the following article from the website: Counterpunch, at www.counterpunch.org, that I came across from the website: Aletho News, at www.alethonews.wordpress.com, entitled: "The Dangerous Myths Of Fukushima".   This report shows again how badly we have been misled by both our media and our governments, and also again vindicates everything that I have said about this disaster to be absolutely TRUE!   I do have my own comments to follow:


The Dangerous Myths of Fukushima

Exposing the “No Harm” Mantra
By JOSEPH MANGANO and JANETTE SHERMAN | CounterPunch | March 9, 2012
The myth that Fukushima radiation levels were too low to harm humans persists, a year after the meltdown.  A March 2, 2012 New York Times article quoted Vanderbilt University professor John Boice: “there’s no opportunity for conducting epidemiological studies that have any chance for success – the doses are just too low.”  Wolfgang Weiss of the UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation also recently said doses observed in screening of Japanese people “are very low.”
Views like these are political, not scientific, virtually identical to what the nuclear industry cheerleaders claim.  Nuclear Energy Institute spokesperson Tony Pietrangelo issued a statement in June that “no health effects are expected among the Japanese people as a result of the events at Fukushima.”
In their haste to choke off all consideration of harm from Fukushima radiation, nuclear plant owners and their willing dupes in the scientific community built a castle against invaders – those open-minded researchers who would first conduct objective research BEFORE rushing to judgment.  The pro-nuclear chants of “no harm” and “no studies needed” are intended to be permanent, as part of damage control created by a dangerous technology that has produced yet another catastrophe.
But just one year after Fukushima, the “no harm” mantra is now being crowded by evidence – evidence to the contrary.
First, estimates of releases have soared.  The first reports issued by the Japanese government stated that emissions equaled 10% of 1986 Chernobyl emissions.  A few weeks later, they doubled that estimate to 20%.  By October 2011, an article in the journal Nature estimated Fukushima emissions to be more than double that of Chernobyl.  How anyone, let alone scientists, could call Fukushima doses “too low” to cause harm in the face of this evidence is astounding.
Where did the radioactive particles and gases go?  Officials from national meteorological agencies in countries like France and Austria followed the plume, and made colorful maps available on the internet.  Within six days of the meltdowns, the plume had reached the U.S., and within 18 days, it had circled the Northern Hemisphere.
How much radiation entered the U.S. environment?  A July 2011 journal article by officials at Pacific Northwest National Lab in eastern Washington State measured airborne radioactive Xenon-133 up to 40,000 times greater than normal in the weeks following the fallout.  Xenon-133 is a gas that travels rapidly and does not enter the body, but signals that other, more dangerous types of radioactive chemicals will follow.
A February 2012 journal article by the U.S. Geological Survey looked at radioactive Iodine-131 that entered soil from rainfall, and found levels hundreds of times above normal in places like Portland OR, Fresno CA, and Denver CO.  The same places also had the highest levels of Cesium-134 and Cesium-137 in the U.S.  While elevated radiation levels were found in all parts of the country, it appears that the West Coast and Rocky Mountain states received the greatest amounts of Fukushima fallout.
Radiation in rainfall guarantees that humans will ingest a poisonous mix of chemicals.  The rain enters reservoirs of drinking water, pastures where milk-giving cows graze, the soil of produce farms, and other sources of food and water.
Finally, how many people were harmed by Fukushima in the short term?  Official studies have chipped away at the oft-repeated claim that nobody died from Fukushima.  Last month brought the news that 573 deaths in the area near the stricken reactors were certified by coroners as related to the nuclear crisis, with dozens more deaths to be reviewed. Another survey showed that births near Fukushima declined 25% in the three months following the meltdowns.  One physician speculated that many women chose to deliver away from Fukushima, but an increase in stillbirths remains as a potential factor.  In British Columbia, the number of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome deaths was 10 in the first three months after Fukushima, up from just one a year before.
On December 19, 2011, we announced the publication of the first peer-reviewed scientific journal article examining potential health risks after Fukushima.  In the 14 week period March 20 – June 25, 2011, there was an increase in deaths reported to the CDC by 122 U.S. cities.  If final statistics (not available until late 2014) confirm this trend, about 14,000 “excess” deaths occurred among Americans in this period.
We made no statement that only Fukushima fallout caused these patterns.  But we found some red flags: infants had the greatest excess (infants are most susceptible to radiation), and a similar increase occurred in the U.S. in the months following Chernobyl.  Our study reinforced Fukushima health hazard concerns, and we hope to spur others to engage in research on both short-term and long-term effects.
For years, the assumption that low-dose radiation doesn’t harm people has been used, only to fall flat on its face every time.  X-rays to abdomens of pregnant women, exposure to atom bomb fallout, and exposures to nuclear weapons workers were all once presumed to be harmless due to low dose levels – until scientific studies proved otherwise. Officials have dropped their assumptions on theses types of exposures, but continue to claim that Fukushima was harmless.
Simply dismissing needed research on Fukushima health consequences because doses are “too low” is irresponsible, and contradictory to many scientific studies.  There will most certainly be a fight over Fukushima health studies, much like there was after Chernobyl and Three Mile Island.  However, we hope that the dialogue will be open minded and will use evidence over assumptions, rather than just scoffing at what may well turn out to be the worst nuclear disaster in history.
Joseph Mangano is an epidemiologist and Executive Director of the Radiation and Public Health Project.  
Janette Sherman is an internist and toxicologist.


NTS Notes:  I have long said that the silence from our controlled media sources concerning the truth about Fukushima is absolutely deafening.  

I have also said that the lack of truthful reporting about Fukushima has been done by design.   Our governments do not want the people to know how deadly the situation truly is, to prevent any panic in the populace.  Instead they will continue to maintain silence, while thousands if not millions slowly die due to radiation poisoning!

I have long said that people deserve the truth, no matter how bad the truth is.   We must be made aware of the factual dangers from the fallout from Fukushima to be prepared for the worse.   When it comes to Fukushima, we can always hope for the best, but must be fully prepared for the worse!

The Fukushima Disaster Still Going Strong 4 Years Later: Four Years After - Ex-Panel Chief Says Japan Still Hasn't Learned Lessons From Fukushima Crisis

Today marks the 4th anniversary of that fateful day back in March, 2011, when everything possible went wrong at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Facility at Fukushima Japan....Four years ago today, the facility suffered from what first was an "earthquake" followed by a major tsunami, and then the "mysterious" safety systems shutdown (Israeli Stuxnet virus infection) that prevented vital cooling water from flooding its reactors.... At that point, Tokyo Electric Power Corporation (TEPCO) had a serious dilemna on their hands that quickly became catastrophic...

On this day, 4 years ago, at least 3 out of the 6 General Electric boiling water reactors at the Fukushima facility suffered partial to full meltdowns of their nuclear fuel cores which caused at least one reactor to blow its top off and all three to release horrific amounts of radiation into the atmosphere and the surrounding countryside.... It has been an unmitigated disaster for Japan and to this day, there still is no solution for the melted reactor cores that continue to spew their deadly radioactive toxins into the atmosphere and the nearby Pacific Ocean....

But now, 4 years later, it does appear that TEPCO and the Japanese government are about to restart most of the nuclear reactors across Japan that have been shut down since the Fukushima disaster....And according to the following article from the Asahi Shimbun online news service at www.asahi.com, it appears that the ex-Japanese government panel chief that led the initial investigation into the Fukushima disaster has some dire warnings about the Japanese government decision to restart these nuclear reactors and clearly states that Japan has not yet learned its lessons from the Fukushima crisis.... Here is that article for everyone to see for themselves, and I do have my own thoughts and comments to follow:

FOUR YEARS AFTER: Ex-panel chief says Japan still hasn't learned lessons from Fukushima crisis

March 10, 2015

THE ASAHI SHIMBUN

The Abe administration is recklessly trying to restart nuclear reactors across Japan without learning lessons from the Fukushima crisis and failing to prepare effective countermeasures against another potential disaster, a former accident panel chief said.

Yotaro Hatamura, former chairman of a government panel that investigated the accident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, said in a recent interview with The Asahi Shimbun that the atmosphere surrounding nuclear power is returning to the pre-disaster days of complacency.

“Sufficient investigations have not been conducted,” Hatamura, professor emeritus of mechanical engineering at the University of Tokyo, said of the Fukushima nuclear accident.

In its final report submitted in July 2012, the panel led by Hatamura called on the government to continue efforts to determine the cause of the nuclear disaster.

“Almost none of (our proposals) have been reflected” in recent government actions, he said.

Tougher safety standards for nuclear facilities were introduced after the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011, led to the triple meltdown at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant. But with the exception of this “regulatory hurdle,” he said, “the situation seems unchanged from before the accident.”

“It does not appear that organizations to watch (government actions) are working properly,” he said in the interview.

Hatamura also said that people once again believe that nuclear plants are safe although the problems related to these facilities have only been addressed superficially.

“There could always be lapses in oversight in safety assessments, and an accident will surely happen again,” Hatamura said.

Among the countermeasures needed, he said, are effective evacuation plans for residents living near nuclear plants throughout the country. He said the feasibility of current evacuation plans is doubtful because they were compiled without fully reflecting on the Fukushima accident.

“The restarts of reactors should be declared only after sufficient preparations are made, such as conducting evacuation drills covering all residents living within 30 kilometers of each plant based on developed evacuation plans,” he said.

According to Hatamura, Japanese citizens need to prepare for future nuclear disasters if the nation continues nuclear power generation.

“Even before the Fuskushima disaster, I thought it was inappropriate to state that an accident would never occur,” Hatamura said. “And the Fukushima crisis, in fact, did happen.”

Most people in Japanese society did not view the issue of nuclear plants as their problem and had only looked at the benefits of nuclear energy until the Fukushima disaster, he said.

“They believed what they wanted to believe--nuclear plants were safe just because there had been no severe accidents and those facilities had undergone safety screenings,” Hatamura said. “It is wrong to end the problem by passing the buck to someone else when an accident occurs.”

(This article was compiled from reports by Keiji Takeuchi, Toshio Kawada and Tsuyoshi Nagano.)
 
THE ASAHI SHIMBUN



NTS Notes:  It definitely does appear that the Japanese government still has not learned its lessons from the Fukushima disaster and by restarting many other reactors, and without knowing the real cause of the Fukushima disaster, risks having more "Fukushima" type meltdowns happen at those facilities as well ....

But honestly, what real choice does Japan have?  Its 160+ Million residents do need electrical power for their economic needs and for the needs of their people... And with no other sources for that power available, their islands have to derive almost all of that power from its nuclear power facilities....

One major thing that I must point out from this article, is exactly where the actual cause of the Fukushima disaster came from..... The fact is that I and others have put up many articles in the past that clearly shows that the initial catastrophic failure at Fukushima came from the failure of the Siemens control systems to properly regulate water into the reactors as a safety measure... These Siemens systems gave erroneous outputs which were caused by a nefarious Israeli/US developed computer virus called 'STUXNET' that was originally developed to cause a catastrophe at Iran's own nuclear facilities but got loose and infected major nuclear power facilities across Asia and especially in Japan... The STUXNET virus did its dirty work and caused the safety systems to fail resulting in the catastrophic meltdown of the reactors at Fukushima!

It is now 4 years and running with no end in sight for the Fukushima disaster.... The failed reactors are still in full meltdown and their cores are again poisoning the planet.... It is shocking to me that most of the world continues to focus on wars for that psychotic state of Israel while this planet threatening disaster is still going strong... But as I have always said, for our Jewish controlled governments Israel always comes first and foremost...

The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster: Dangerous Levels Of Fukushima Radiation Headed For West Coast (Via Ocean Currents), Say Scientists

With all the controlled news media outlets focused in on the Aurora Colorado shootings, it is important that everyone is made aware of news happening elsewhere around the world.   Aurora is especially minor in comparison to the horrendous disaster still taking place at Fukushima Japan with its 3 crippled and melted down nuclear reactors.

I came across a very disturbing article today that comes from the Natural News website, at www.naturalnews.com, that I want to share here in my own blog for everyone to see for themselves. It is entitled: "Dangerous Levels Of Fukushima Radiation Headed For The West Coast, Say Scientists", and shows that new and extremely high levels of radiation are definitely heading for the US and Canadian west coast via ocean currents.  I have that important article right here for everyone to see for themselves, and of course, some of my own comments and views to follow:


Dangerous levels of Fukushima radiation headed for West Coast, say scientists

Tuesday, July 24, 2012 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer



 (NaturalNews) In the immediate wake of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster that occurred in Japan last year, radioactive releases of epic proportions flooded the waters of the Pacific Ocean, where they now flow adrift. And even though more than a year has passed since the time of the first releases, some scientists believe the worst is yet to come as these water-borne radioactive plumes head for the U.S. West Coast.

Russia Today (RT) reports that a team of scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory recently constructed some models designed to assess the impact of Fukushima radiation over the longer term. To do this, they simulated ocean currents in the Pacific, and evaluated how radiation would both disperse and travel.

They discovered that, within the next few years, the worst of Fukushima's radiation releases will make its way across the Pacific and hit the American coastline. So-called "packets" of radiation are also expected to continue forming as the larger plumes travel via the ocean currents, which could result in highly radioactive waves of ocean water striking West Coast beaches in the very near future.

"Within one year, it will have spread over the entire western half of the North Pacific, and in five years we predict it will reach the U.S. West Coast," says Claus Boning, co-author of the study, about the Fukushima radiation releases. "The levels of radiation that hit the U.S. coast will be small relative to the levels released by Fukushima. But we cannot accurately estimate what those levels will be because we do not know for certain what was released by Fukushima."

Leaked - Fukushima clean-up crews covered up true radiation readings

And the world may never know just how much radiation was, and potentially continues to be, released by Fukushima, as a recently leaked recording verifies that Fukushima plant workers were encouraged to lie about radiation readings at the plant. According to RT, clean-up workers were given lead boxes which they were told to use as "shields" to block radiation readings in order to make them appear lower than they really were.

This obviously insinuates that radiation readings were far higher at the Fukushima plant than the world was told they were, and that these levels more than likely far exceeded the maximum exposure levels considered to be safe for plant workers. The company accused of the cover-up, Build-up, later admitted that workers were encouraged to wear these deceptive radiation shields.

Radiation readings at Reactor 1 reach record levels

The situation at the Fukushima plant itself appears to still be highly problematic as well, as reports indicate that radiation levels at Reactor 1, the fuel rod of which sustained 70 percent damage as a result of the disaster, are the highest they have ever been. According to the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), which owns the Fukushima plant, levels of radiation at Reactor 1 reached 10 times higher than levels recorded at Reactors 2 and 3.

"Workers cannot enter the site and we must use robots for the demolition," said TEPCO officials about the severity of the situation. According to reports, levels of radiation in the basement water of Reactor 1 reached 10,300 millisieverts per hour (mSv/hr), which is the equivalent of receiving the maximum annual dose of radiation in just 20 seconds, or enough to become gravely ill in just a few minutes.

http://www.rt.com/news/fukushima-radiation-fake-readings-763/

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/nn20120629a7.html

NTS Notes:  Everyone has been falsely led to believe that since the airborne radiation has hit North America since last year, and has reportedly (and very falsely) "dissipated" by this time, that the worst of the dangers from Fukushima was over.

The real truth is that it has taken this long for major plumes of high levels of radioactive material in the ocean waters of the Pacific to now reach the west coast of the United States and Canada via ocean currents.   As shown in this article, the liars at TEPCO have not made anyone aware of the exact composition of deadly materials contained in these ocean water plumes...Which means that Americans and Canadians living on the Pacific coast may be in for a shocking surprise very shortly!

We can conclude from this article that what we have been told by the criminals in both our governments and media about the dangers associated with the Fukushima disaster is still a load of lies and falsehoods.

It is important that people be made fully aware that this horrendous disaster is definitely far from over.  I have made it my business to bring any information to light for everyone to see here, and will continue to do so... Stay tuned...

Fukushima Radiation Release Rivals Chernobyl (Probably Exceeds It!)

We are still watching the bad news out of Japan, and technicians try desperately in getting the cooling systems back online at the damaged (and destroyed) nuclear facility at Fukushima.   The bad news seems to get worst all the time with reports coming in about the high levels of radiation that have already been released, and are poisoning the Japanese countryside.

Just how bad is the radiation released from the Fukushima reactors?  Well, to help answer this important question, I want to turn to the following article that comes from a website called "Vince's Economic Blog" at www.vinceseconomicblog.wordpress.com, entitled: "Fukushima Radiation Release Rivals Chernobyl", and the findings presented here are indeed startling.  Here is that article for my own readers to view:

Fukushima Radiation Release Rivals Chernobyl

Despite media spin downplaying severity of crisis, Fukushima is likely to be a worse catastrophe than 1986 disaster

The radiation released by the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant already rivals and in one sense exceeds the Chernobyl catastrophe according to Austria’s Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics, even as media spin downplays the severity of the crisis despite the fact that the problems at the plant show no signs of abating.


“The release of two types of radioactive particles in the first 3-4 days of Japan’s nuclear crisis is estimated to have reached 20-50 percent of the amounts from Chernobyl in 10 days, an Austrian expert said on Wednesday,” reports Reuters.
Iodine-131 released in the first 3-4 days of the crisis was about 20 percent of that released from Chernobyl during a ten-day period, whereas the amount of Caesium-137 released amounted to about 50 percent, according to the institute’s Dr Gerhard Wotawa.
Despite the fact that the story appears under the euphemistic Reuters headline, Japan radiation release lower than Chernobyl, as Tyler Durden points out, when you consider the fact that the amount of Caesium-137 released at Fukushima in the first 3-4 days of the crisis amounted to 50% that released by Chernobyl over 10 days, the real run rate of the radiation released at Fukushima is now about 120-150% the figure released by the Chernobyl explosion – and that’s not even factoring in ongoing radiation leaks from Fukushima, which many experts have estimated could go on for much longer.

As the New York Times reported, “Experts….suggest that radioactive releases of steam from the crippled plants could go on for weeks or even months.” Even if Fukushima technicians manage to stop radiation leakage after one month, estimated Caesium-137 emissions would be at least 500 percent more than those released by Chernobyl, whereas iodine-131 levels could be 200 percent worse.

A further complication is the fact that we don’t even know how much if any plutonium emissions have leaked from Fukushima reactor number 3, which runs on MOX or Mixed Oxide fuel, a mixture of plutonium and uranium. Plutonium is the most deadly radioactive isotope known to man, and MOX is two million times more deadly than normal enriched uranium. The Half-life of Plutonium-239 in MOX is 24,000 years and just a few milligrams of P-239 escaping in a smoke plume will contaminate soil for tens of thousands of years.

In the case of Chernobyl, the vast majority of the plutonium was not released during the explosion and subsequent fire. Japanese authorities and the establishment media seem reticent to even discuss the potential release of plutonium from reactor number 3 at Fukushima.
“The fact that radiation releases are approaching the level they did in Chernobyl is a cause for concern, a sign of the severity of the accident that’s already taken place,” said Edwin Lyman, senior scientist at the U.S.-based Union of Concerned Scientists Global Security Program, especially given the way Chernobyl exploded.”

The only two factors that have really prevented the Fukushima crisis from becoming as severe as Chernobyl thus far are firstly that, unlike in the case of Chernobyl, residents within the exclusion zone were quickly evacuated, and secondly, most of the radiation from Fukushima has been dispersed over the Pacific Ocean, whereas Chernobyl fallout blanketed the land mass of Europe.

However, at least with Chernobyl the full impact of the disaster was known and its threat was able to be quantified quickly. Fukushima has been burning for 2 weeks and shows no sign of abating. Given the fact that one type of radiation reached 20% and the other over 50% of Chernobyl within days, Fukushima is on course to be worse than the 1986 disaster in the long term.

As Tyler Durden asks, “How soon until the first indications of radiation poisoning start appearing. Somehow we are confident we will not find out until years from now when all the truth surrounding this incident is finally declassified.”

Indeed, despite UN and World Health Organization studies that claim Chernobyl led to a maximum of 9,000 deaths and 200,000 cases of radiation sickness, more contemporary studies have shown that nearly a million people have been killed from cancers caused by the disaster over the course of the last 25 years.

If radiation releases from Fukushima are being underreported by authorities, as they were with Chernobyl, and a heap of evidence suggests they are, then we won’t know the full impact of the disaster until decades have passed.

Despite the massive threat Fukushima poses to the food supply, as the U.S. and other countries ban dairy and vegetable imports from farms contaminated by the radiation release, U.S. health authorities and the EPA are still insisting that Americans should not take potassium iodide, even at weaker levels, despite the fact that it is known to protect against thyroid cancer by blocking the absorption of radioactive iodine.


NTS Notes:  As I have already put in the title of my own article, I do strongly believe that the radation released from the explosion of the reactors at Fukushima already exceeds the radiation released at Chernobyl back in 1986.  I believe that that information is purposely being kept away from the public as to not cause any more alarm or panic.  

It does appear that we have what will soon be called the greatest nuclear disaster that this world has seen (so far).    Again, I am amazed that further information has not been presented to the Japanese to try to save them from further long term radiation exposure, and death.....

All we can do now is hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.....This story is definitely far from over...

The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster: Nuclear Expert Says Fukushima Radiation Coming To USA (It Is Already There), Massive Cover-Up Under Way!

The nuclear reactor disaster at Fukushima Japan that occurred on March 11th, 2011 is now proven to be the greatest environmental disaster in human history.   Even as I publish this new article, the 3 melted down nuclear reactors at Fukushima are still spewing out massive amounts of radiation into the atmosphere and the nearby Pacific Ocean, and this disaster is far from being under control....

Very little reporting has come out of the controlled mainstream media about how bad this disaster truly is... However, more and more reports are coming out over the Internet about this situation.  For this article, I want to present the following report that comes from Natural News, at www.naturalnews.com, entitled: "Nuclear Expert Says Fukushima Radiation Coming To USA, Massive Cover-Up Under Way".   It gives a great synopsis of the present situation at Fukushima, and I do recommend that everyone take the time to read it in its entirety.  I have some additional comments, as usual, to follow:

Nuclear expert says Fukushima radiation coming to USA, massive cover-up under way


Thursday, September 01, 2011 by: PF Louis


(Natural News) There has been a lot of disinformation regarding the Fukushima Nuclear disaster. It appears the government agencies of other nations cooperated with Japan while the international nuclear industry sided with TEPCO's (Tokyo Electric Power Company) disinformation and denial campaign.

As Mike Adams noted in his April 5th, 2011 Natural News article on Fukushima, "The government is going to turn off the radiation detectors, raise the official EPA limits of radioactive exposure, urge Americans to avoid preparing for fallout, and then pretend absolutely nothing is wrong."

Understanding the Millisievert

Millisievert figures are tossed out by the media with little attention to explaining them. Millisieverts (mSv) are measurements of ionizing radiation absorbed by a human body. Geiger counters formally measured with Rems (Roentgen equivalent man) or millirems. The figures on Geiger counters now represent mSv units per hour. There is always a low level of measurable background radiation in our environment from celestial bodies and earthly elements.

Whenever Geiger counters measure more, there is concern. Putting concerns into perspective, smoking a pack and a half of cigarettes (tobacco leaves absorb radioactive isotopes) daily causes an annual exposure level of 13 mSv per year. A 5,000 mSv single dose creates 50% likelihood of death within a month. A single 10,000 mSv dose of radiation causes almost certain death within a month.

Fukushima - Chernobyl Comparisons

Chernobyl was a one reactor meltdown. Fukushima had three reactors that melted down. Chernobyl was land locked in a relatively desolate area. The heaviest radiation was in the sparsely inhabited area near the plant, although air currents contaminated Northern Europe and Western Russia as well.

Fukushima is the small densely populated island of Japan. It seems there are going to be more cancer victims and food contamination with this disaster than Chernobyl's. The Fukushima plants are on the Pacific Ocean coast.

Millions of gallons of contaminated water are being dumped into the Pacific in addition to radiation particles floating on air streams. So ocean currents are assisting air currents, exposing the world to excessive radiation.

Sea life is getting contaminated as well. The most dangerous radiation comes from radioactive particles ingested with contaminated foods. It only takes a few ingested particles to create intense health issues or death. Seems wise to avoid northern Pacific Seafood and Japanese Teas from your diet for the near future.

The easiest sign of food chain contamination comes from high radiation readings on milk. And what little data has leaked from normally scheduled testing across the United States has shown increased radioactivity in water and milk. But the USDA is not testing organic milk since that's not part or their job description. Raw milk is another issue. There should be even more concern over Japan's food exports, especially tea.

Before the actual extent of Japan's crisis became evident, Chris Busby, a professor at the University of Ulster weighed in with a realistic early warning. "Fukushima is still boiling its radionuclides all over Japan," he said. "Chernobyl went up in one go and Fukushima is worse."

Other experts noted the futility of watering down the reactors from outside and above, which was an early attempt to cool down the reactors. The cooling has to occur inside, the way radiator coolant cools auto engines. Internal reactor cooling requires pumping water generated by electric pumps. And electricity hasn't been available there. Many experts have questioned why the sarcophagus solution was not employed or even considered.

Sarcophagus means stone tomb in Russian. The Russians devised this solution almost immediately after Chernobyl's meltdown. It took several months to implement. But they got it done, thus restricting more emissions in the immediate area and throughout Western Russia and Northern Europe.

Those living nearby Chernobyl were exposed to 450 mSv over several days. This level of exposure is sufficient to cause cancer for many within their lifetimes. Nevertheless, nearby residents were evacuated as soon as possible.

It seems Fukushima evacuation planners dragged their feet with a smaller area of no return than Chernobyl's restricted area. What kind of measurements were occurring in Fukushima by the time the Japanese government and TEPCO finally admitted that their situation was worse than originally reported?

That's difficult to answer because of the denial and disinformation during the early stages of this disaster. But it's apparent that the zone of intense radiation involves more inhabitants in Japan than Chernobyl ever did. A nearby Japanese university has tested soil samples in the area and discovered the radioactive contamination is deeper and higher than originally anticipated.

Unanticipated higher readings done by third party groups imply earlier industry and government cover ups that downgraded or withheld readings.

It was months after the initial event that the Japanese government and TEPCO raised the Fukushima danger level to seven, matching Chernobyl's disaster level.

One thing is for certain. The Fukushima radioactive leaks will continue at high amounts longer than Chernobyl did. Fukushima's radioactive fallout will be affecting more people, crops, and of course sea life than Chernobyl's disaster caused. But just like the Gulf BP oil disaster, we won't be able to count on accurate mainstream media information or government intervention to minimize the damage.

NTS Notes:  I added the comment into the title of this article: "It Is Already There" because radiation from Fukushima is already falling all over North America in the form of radioactive fallout.    I have put up several articles in this blog where independent researchers have taken Geiger Counters and found high radioactivity in rainfall over different locations in both the United States and Canada, and their findings are truly shocking.

The massive cover-up by the media and our governments is already taking place.   We find no reports about how bad the radiation is from the Fukushima disaster anywhere in our media here in North America, and not a peep from our own governments.... I have already suggested that that may be done on purpose to not create panic in the populace, but the people do have the right to know to properly prepare for, and do what is necessary to prevent, long term damage from radiation exposure.

Again, I am doing my best to stay on top of any reports coming out about this ongoing disaster.   And if there are any new reports or videos about radiation here in Canada, or in the United States, I will present them here.... Stay tuned...
