“Tomioka,
in the southern end of the exclusion zone, has a lower level
of contamination than towns to the north and northwest of the
plant.
But
a lower level doesn’t mean it’s safe to be here
long. We stop in a neighborhood to check the radiation. On the
pavement, the surface reads a radiation level of 0.042 millisieverts
per hour, which is 10 times what you’re exposed to in
a dental x-ray. Not a significant problem since we’re
in the exclusion zone for a short visit and wearing protective
suits. But living on this street carries possible long-term
health risks, especially for children.”

Tokyo,
Jan. 23 (Jiji Press)--Tokyo Electric Power Co. <9501>
on Monday reported an increase in radioactive materials leaking
from damaged nuclear reactors at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant.
The
total amount of radioactive cesium that leaked from the containment
vessels of the No. 1 to No. 3 reactors reached 70 million becquerels
per hour, up 12 million becquerels from the December level,
the power firm said.
It
seems that radioactive dusts were stirred up because plant workers
went inside reactor buildings and removed rubble, TEPCO officials
said...

Fukushima: A Nuclear War without a War: The Unspoken Crisis
of Worldwide Nuclear Radiation, Online I-book,

...Public
Health Disaster. Economic Impacts
What
prevails is a well organized camouflage. The public health disaster
in Japan, the contamination of water, agricultural land and
the food chain, not to mention the broader economic and social
implications, have neither been fully acknowledged nor addressed
in a comprehensive and meaningful fashion by the Japanese authorities.
Japan
as a nation state has been destroyed. Its landmass and territorial
waters are contaminated. Part of the country is uninhabitable.
High levels of radiation have been recorded in the Tokyo metropolitan
area, which has a population of 39 million (2010) (more than
the population of Canada, circa 34 million (2010)) There are
indications that the food chain is contaminated throughout Japan:
Radioactive
cesium exceeding the legal limit was detected in tea made
in a factory in Shizuoka City, more than 300 kilometers away
from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Shizuoka Prefecture
is one of the most famous tea producing areas in Japan.
A
tea distributor in Tokyo reported to the prefecture that it
detected high levels of radioactivity in the tea shipped from
the city. The prefecture ordered the factory to refrain from
shipping out the product. After the accident at the Fukushima
nuclear power plant, radioactive contamination of tea leaves
and processed tea has been found over a wide area around Tokyo.
(See 5
More Companies Detect Radiation In Their Tea Above Legal Limits
Over 300 KM From Fukushima, June 15, 2011)
Japan's
industrial and manufacturing base is prostrate. Japan is no
longer a leading industrial power. The country's exports have
plummeted. The Tokyo government has announced its first trade
deficit since 1980.
While
the business media has narrowly centered on the impacts of power
outages and energy shortages on the pace of productive activity,
the broader issue pertaining to the outright radioactive contamination
of the country's infrastructure and industrial base is a "scientific
taboo" (i.e the radiation of industrial plants, machinery
and equipment, buildings, roads, etc). A report released in
January 2012 points to the nuclear contamination of building
materials used in the construction industry, in cluding roads
and residential buildings throughout Japan.(See FUKUSHIMA:
Radioactive Houses and Roads in Japan. Radioactive Building
Materials Sold to over 200 Construction Companies, January
2012)
A
"coverup report" by the Ministry of Economy, Trade
and Industry (May 2011), entitled "Economic
Impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Current Status
of Recovery" presents "Economic Recovery"
as a fait accompli. It also brushes aside the issue of radiation.
The impacts of nuclear radiation on the work force and the country's
industrial base are not mentioned. The report states that the
distance between Tokyo -Fukushima Dai-ichi is of the order of
230 km (about 144 miles) and that the levels of radiation in
Tokyo are lower than in Hong Kong and New York City.(Ministry
of Economy, Trade and Industry, Impact
of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Current Status of Recovery,
p.15). This statement is made without corroborating evidence
and in overt contradiction with independent radiation readings
in Tokyo...

BUCKY BALLS!!! Think HOT PARTICLES are Bad? YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN'
YET !!! by Potrblog
If
you thought HOT PARTICLES where bad, YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN'
YET!
"Experts"
are starting to get a glimpse into how little they know about
the witches' brew coming out of Fukushima. Today's
revelation is that Fukushima Uranium
is forming Bucky Balls via the action of salt water...
...What
this finding means is that ALL the dispersion models are wrong,
and NOT in the good way. It also means that the internal impact
and damage from inhaling or consuming these particles is far
greater than would other wise be expected. However, don't expect
the "it's safe" mantra to change.
If
you want to even begin to have an idea how bad this situation
is, Google the medical effects of Nano Particles(and remember
they are discussing NON-Radioactive nano-particles)

“Radiation

it’s all too meaningful.
You
probably get the idea, even if you’ve never heard the
expression. In brief, husband and wife disagree so irreconcilably
over how dangerous radiation is to children that the marriage
breaks up, the fearful party (usually but not always the wife)
spiriting the kid(s) away to a new radiation-free domicile and
starting anew. [...]

Fukushima fallout hit home: Nuclear critic says Health Canada
should have issued warning on radioactive raindrops
by "...Edwards says Calgarians should at least have known
there was a spike beyond recommended levels, especially as rain-bourne
radiation concentrates in vegetation and the food chain..."
2012-01-23 Report:
Fallout from Fukushima coincides with spike in Boise infant
mortality rate by Mac King, kivitv.com.
The
aftermath of the tsunami that ransacked the Japanese coast led
to one of the worst nuclear meltdowns in the history of the
world. Now, two researchers believe it may also have played
some role in killing tens of thousands of Americans.
“[It’s]
155,000 deaths,” Joseph Mangano said, ”so we’re
not talking about an increase from three to five deaths. We’re
talking about quite a few.”
Mangano
works at the Radiation and Public Health Project. The report
he co-authored for a medical journal suggesting a link between
Fukushima fallout and an increase in deaths in the United States
has stirred up some controversy.
“The
authors appeared to start at a conclusion,” Scientific
American’s Michael Moyer wrote, “ – babies
are dying because of Fukushima radiation – and work backwards,
torturing their data to fit their claims.”
But
Mangano said his critics miss the point.
“We
have not stated conclusively that Fukushima fallout killed 22,000
Americans,” he said.
Instead,
he and co-author Dr. Jannette Sherman cite numbers from the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's weekly morbidity
report. That data showed a large spike in deaths – particularly
infant deaths – in the 14 weeks following the Fukushima
meltdown.
“And
the highest ones,” Mangano said, “were in Boise,
Idaho”...

...The
simplest way to approach the analysis of these jet stream maps
is think of the fallout in terms of silt in a fast moving stream
of water; that silt is most likely to fallout out of the stream
and build up in locations with sudden changes in velocity or
dramatic changes in direction. In the case of the Jet-stream,
high reaching thunderstorms may also pull fallout out of the
stream.

Fukushima
Fallout: Radioactive Fullerenes and Endofullerenes
uploaded by POTRBLOG on 28 Jan 2012.
"The
improvised use of salt water to cool the Fukushima reactors
and spent fuel pools resulted in the weaponization of Uranium
fallout via the formation of Fullerenes and Endofullerenes.
The term weaponization is based on our belief that this process
significantly improved Probability of Kill (PK) values from
a survivability / vulnerability analytical standpoint."
