FIG. 2: SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN EXCESS DEATHS SINCE 3/13/11: Data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported March 13- Sept. 3, 2011, shows increasing excess deaths for nearly all regions of the US. This very high increase in acute deaths throughout the US, that increases every week, can only be explained by regional environmental contamination from the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan. Increases in infant mortality range from 35-45% or higher, and is not included in the map data.

2011-08-30 Fukushima Is Continually Blasting All Of Us With High Levels Of Cesium, Strontium And Plutonium And Will Slowly Kill Millions For Years To Come by Michael Snyder, Economic Collapse Blog.
Up until now, the Japanese government has insisted that those living outside the 20 kilometer exclusion zone are safe.
But is that really the case?
According to Reuters, Greenpeace has found incredibly high levels of radiation at schools up to 60 km away.....

Greenpeace said on Monday that schools and surrounding areas located 60 km (38 miles) from Japan's tsunami-hit nuclear power plant were unsafe for children, showing radiation readings as much as 70 times internationally accepted levels.

In addition, a recent Japan Times article noted that high levels of cesium have been discovered at 42 incineration plants in seven different prefectures in Japan....

High levels of cesium isotopes are cropping up in dust at 42 incineration plants in seven prefectures, including Chiba and Iwate, an Environment Ministry survey of the Kanto and Tohoku regions shows.

Also, a recent article in the Wall Street Journal stated that incredibly high levels of cesium-137 have been found up to 100 km away from the Fukushima nuclear facility....

The first comprehensive survey of soil contamination from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant showed that 33 locations spread over a wide area have been contaminated with long-lasting radioactive cesium, the government said Tuesday.
The survey of 2,200 locations within a 100-kilometer (62-mile) radius of the crippled plant found that those locations had cesium-137 in excess of 1.48 million becquerels per square meter, the level set by the Soviet Union for forced resettlement after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, Japanese authorities said.

Remember that Tokyo is only about 250 km away from the Fukushima nuclear facility.
So what happens if high levels of cesium start showing up in Tokyo?
According to some sources, things have already gotten very serious in Tokyo.
Dr. Chris Busby recently traveled to Japan with some very sophisticated testing equipment and found one sample in Tokyo that had levels of radioactivity that were higher than the exclusion zone surrounding Chernobyl during that nuclear disaster.
But things are much worse for those living much closer to Fukushima. High levels of cesium have been detected in the urine and in the breast milk of those living in the region surrounding the facility. All over the area there are reports of people coming down with the symptoms of radiation sickness.
The truth is that the "evacuation area" should be far, far larger than it is now. Just consider what Mike Adams of Natural News recently had to say about what recent tests have shown....

One soil sample taking 25 kilometers away from Fukushima showed Cesium-137 exceeding 5 million becquerels per square meter. This level, of course, makes it uninhabitable by humans, yet both the Japanese and U.S. governments continue to downplay the whole event, assuring their sheeple that there's nothing to worry about. By their logic, since all the people are sheeple anyway, as long as the area is safe enough for sheep, it's also safe enough for the human population.

A lot of people in Japan are going to die, and frustrations are rising. According to an article in The Independent, a lot of Japanese feel totally abandoned by their government at this point....

It is the fate of people outside the evacuation zones, however, that causes the most bitter controversy. Parents in Fukushima City, 63km from the plant, have banded together to demand that the government do more to protect about 100,000 children. Schools have banned soccer and other outdoor sports. Windows are kept closed. "We've just been left to fend for ourselves," says Machiko Sato, a grandmother who lives in the city. "It makes me so angry."

But just because you don't live in Japan does not mean that you are not in danger. The Fukushima nuclear facility sits right on the Pacific Ocean. When nuclear material gets released into the air at Fukushima, the first time much of it will encounter land is when it reaches the United States.
Also, thousands upon thousands upon thousands of tons of highly radioactive water has been released into the Pacific Ocean at Fukushima.
What this is going to do to our oceans nobody knows for sure. But according to the Los Angeles Times, the seawater near Fukushima has been found to be incredibly radioactive....

Tokyo Electric Power Co. had said Tuesday that it had found iodine-131 at 7.5 million times the legal limit in a seawater sample taken near the facility, and government officials instituted a health limit for radioactivity in fish. Other samples were found to contain radioactive cesium at 1.1 million times the legal limit.

All of this radioactive water is going to circulate all over the globe. It is going to be a nightmare that is never going to end...
2011-08-31 69 Millisieverts a Year for Some Japanese Children, majiasblog.blogspot.com
Enenews has a report on two Japanese schools' level of radiation contamination after clean up.
After Cleanup* High school: 7.9 microsieverts/hour — Day care center: 7.1
http://enenews.com/after-cleanup-high-school-7-9-microsievertshour-day-care-center-7-1-microsievertshour#comments
365(7.9 X 24) = 69204/1000 = 69 millisieverts
Health authorities say 1 millisievert should be our level of exposure
Americans receive between 3-6 millisieverts a year and most of that is from medical imaging.
Can you imagine children receiving 69 millisieverts?
Of course, you might say, that the kids are only there 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.
But keep in mind, the readings were taken AFTER cleaning.
You can bet community resources went into cleaning up those schools. People love their children everywhere.
But families are likely not going to be able to put the same level of energy or resources into cleaning their yards and homes.
Furthermore, contaminating is ongoing because of the incineration of radioactive debris.
Finally, the food supply is contaminated so the worst levels of exposure are going to be from internal emitters, inhaled or ingested radionuclides.
The Japanese government needs to stop the incineration of radioactive debris.
The Japanese government needs to evacuate all people using, at the very least, the Chernobyl exclusion zone (which wasn't big enough).
The Japanese government needs to set up and fund adequately a comprehensive food testing system, which it still doesn't have.

2011-09-01 Dirty Tricks with the NRC Nuclear Event Reports, Surely Not, Uploaded by potrblog on Sep 1, 2011.
UPDATE 9/2/11:It appears that NRC is routing certain IP addresses who visit the WWW.nrc.gov to a different server; and that something has happened to make that server 1 day behind the other server. The issue does not seem to occur if one leaves the "WWW" off of the NRC's address.
For example: If your IP address is affected
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/event-status/event/en.html
will take you to the previous day's events.
Whereas,
http://nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/event-status/event/en.html
will route to the current events.
------------------------------------------------------------------
original post:
Surely this can't be a case of dirty tricks, but I decided to document it to see if anyone has a resolution. From the looks of it my IP address is not allowed to resolve any new NRC Nuclear Event Alert webpages. My only current access is using Google's cache via search for a current event number, or using an anonymous proxy to access the NRC webpage. It's an issue I've never run into before, any suggestions or insights would be appreciated.

I see a RADIATION spike echoing around the country over the last few days. Remember that “normal” is between 30 and 60 CPM beta (though many places run 0) and the EPA considers 3X “normal” a health risk.

San Bernardino County CA around 200 beta
Fort Smith AR 300 beta
Little Rock AR 200 beta
Phoenix AZ over 300 beta
Yuma AZ around 600 beta
Sacramento CA 650 beta
Des Moines IA 600 beta
Idaho Falls 200 beta
Fort Wayne IN 650 beta
Louisville KY 600 beta
Kearney NE 550 beta
Omaha not reporting recently
Carlsbad NM between 400 and 650 beta
Toledo OH 550 beta
Pierre SD 500 beta
Rapid City SD stopped reporting
Amarillo TX 700 beta
Harrisonburg VA ranging from 200 to 800 beta
Spokane WA 200 beta
THE JET STREAM SEEMS TO RELATIVELY HIGH BUT THERE APPEAR TO BE LOWER SEGMENTS THAT ARE HITTING THE LOWER PART OF THE US (E.G., COMING IN AT SOUTHERN CA)

2011-08-30 Fukushima Is Continually Blasting All Of Us With High Levels Of Cesium, Strontium And Plutonium And Will Slowly Kill Millions For Years To Come by Michael Snyder, Economic Collapse Blog.
...Unfortunately, most people do not have any concept of just how dangerous nuclear contamination can be.
At this point, the vast majority of people living in the northern hemisphere have been exposed to radioactive material from Fukushima.
We can't see them, but radioactive particles can do an insane amount of damage. We can breathe them in, we can eat them in our food and we can even absorb them through our skin. Once trapped inside our bodies, these particles can slowly "bake" us for years and years. The following is from an opinion piece by Helen Caldicott in the Guardian....

Internal radiation, on the other hand, emanates from radioactive elements which enter the body by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption. Hazardous radionuclides such as iodine-131, caesium 137, and other isotopes currently being released in the sea and air around Fukushima bio-concentrate at each step of various food chains (for example into algae, crustaceans, small fish, bigger fish, then humans; or soil, grass, cow's meat and milk, then humans). [2] After they enter the body, these elements – called internal emitters – migrate to specific organs such as the thyroid, liver, bone, and brain, where they continuously irradiate small volumes of cells with high doses of alpha, beta and/or gamma radiation, and over many years, can induce uncontrolled cell replication – that is, cancer. Further, many of the nuclides remain radioactive in the environment for generations, and ultimately will cause increased incidences of cancer and genetic diseases over time.

One of the most dangerous radioactive elements being released at Fukushima is strontium. Strontium accumulates in the bones and in the teeth. It is also known to cause cancer in humans.
It has been estimated that approximately 80 percent of the strontium that was released during the Chernobyl nuclear disaster entered the food cycle.
Considering the vast amount of strontium that has been released at Fukushima, that is a very frightening statistic.
The following is what NHK World recently had to say about the levels of strontium that are being found around Fukushima....

The utility detected up to 480 becquerels of radioactive strontium 90 per kilogram of soil. That's about 100 times higher than the maximum reading recorded in Fukushima Prefecture following atmospheric nuclear tests carried out by foreign countries during the Cold War era.
TEPCO reported detecting 2,800 becquerels of strontium 89 per kilogram of soil at the same location.

Once you absorb strontium, it will stay in your bones for the rest of your life. Just consider what Dr. Russell Blaylock recently told Newsmax....

When we look at Chernobyl, most of West Germany was heavily contaminated. Norway, Sweden. Hungary was terribly contaminated. The radiation was taken up into the plants. The food was radioactive. They took the milk and turned it into cheese. The cheese was radioactive.
That’s the big danger, the crops in this country being contaminated, the milk in particular, with Strontium 90. That radiation is incorporated into the bones and stays for a lifetime.

So would you like to have radioactive material in your bones that affects your health for the rest of your life?
It may have already happened to you and you wouldn't even know it.
Other deadly radioactive elements that are being released at high levels at Fukushima include iodine, cesium, uranium and plutonium. Large amounts of these radioactive particles have already been absorbed in the soil and in the water in the United States.
Large amounts of these radioactive particles have also entered our food chain.
As the years go by, a whole lot of Americans are going to get sick and die and they will never even know that it was Fukushima that caused it..."
