Fukishima - Forty million Japanese in 'extreme danger', possible evacuation

[A99]

In light of this recent discovery of what's going on in Fukushima, I am appalled that the only thing Trump and the P.M. of Japan are talking about in Abe's current visit to the White House are discussions on trade and business between our two countries. Nothing is being reported in the news that they are talking about Fukushima too.


As for the dangers of radiation, knowing what I know, as a former x-ray tech. and the 2 yr. hospital training program for that, it completely blows my mind that more isn't being reported in the news about the urgency of this situation and its very real threat to our environment and all life on this planet.


As reported in the news, those radiation numbers at that plant are waaaaay out in the stratosphere to the point of incomprehension. This is not something that's going to go away. In fact, as we can see, it's going to continue to even get worse because we currently do not have the science and technology to be able to contain this situation and expedite truly viable solutions for it.

I think the prudent thing to do for all sentient beings on this planet is to pray for some kind of divine intervention that will, for once and for all, stop that radiation leakage, heal those who have cancer from it and save our planet from the damage already done to it as result of that accident. Presently, this is our only hope...

There has been a News Black Out in Japan all along about the severity of the contamination, with extreme penalties from Japanese Government!!!

That's why we hear so very little about it.

IMO, in a the next 100 years that Island will have very few living inhabitants!!!

Children Who Live Near Fukushima Have Alarming Cancer Rates


OKYO (AP) — A new study says children living near the Fukushima nuclear meltdowns have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer at a rate 20 to 50 times that of children elsewhere, a difference the authors contend undermines the government’s position that more cases have been discovered in the area only because of stringent monitoring. Most of the 370,000 children in Fukushima prefecture (state) have been given ultrasound checkups since the March 2011 meltdowns at the tsunami-ravaged Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant. The most recent statistics, released in August, show that thyroid cancer is suspected or confirmed in 137 of those children, a number that rose by 25 from a year earlier. Elsewhere, the disease occurs in only about one or two of every million children per year by some estimates. “This is more than expected and emerging faster than expected,” lead author Toshihide Tsuda told The Associated Press during a visit to Tokyo. “This is 20 times to 50 times what would be normally expected.” The study was released online this week and is being published in the November issue of Epidemiology, produced by the Herndon, Virginia-based International Society for Environmental Epidemiology.

Rest assured, there won't be any babies and children living there.

As a mother, I would rather be on the streets of Bombay begging for food for myself and my children than living anywhere near Fukushima in a nice middle class neighborhood.

Another camera broke down at Fukishima.

"It’s now at least the seventh robot to have broken down while investigating Fukushima’s nuclear reactors, which remain highly radioactive. Reuters had counted up to five by March 2016. Last week, a scouting robot was sent in ahead to clear the way for the scorpion robot, but it was pulled back out after about two hours: the camera had been fried by record high levels of radiation estimated to be about 650 sieverts per hour. (For scale, a CT scan exposes you to 0.006 sieverts, and just half a sievert is enough to cause symptoms of radiation sickness.)"

Great video at that link southerncross, thanks!!!

So they're planning to hold the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in Fukushima even though they're calling it the 2020 Tokyo Olympics???! That's surreal.

http://www.ukprogressive.co.uk/fukushima-a-lurking-global-catastrophe/article61182.html

Meanwhile, the Abe administration dresses up Fukushima Prefecture for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, necessitating a big fat question: Who in their right mind would hold Olympics in the neighborhood of three out-of-control nuclear meltdowns that could get worse, worse, and still worse? After all, that’s the pattern over the past 5 years; it gets worse and worse. Dismally, nobody can possibly know how much worse by 2020. Not knowing is the main concern about holding Olympics in the backyard of a nuclear disaster zone, especially as nobody knows what’s happening. Nevertheless and resolutely, according to PM Abe and the IOC, the games go on.

With all the dire events going on in the world, the MAJOR nuclear event of Fukushima sure fell off the radar for a while. Came across this today . . .

The operator of the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant is one step closer to releasing treated radioactive water into the Pacific ocean after applying for approval Tuesday to create a tunnel to the Pacific ocean to dispose of the water safely.

The nuclear power plant was severely damaged in 2011 after a massive earthquake triggered a tsunami that caused contamination of their cooling water, which then began leaking. The 1,000 tanks storing the contaminated water will reach capacity next year, the plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings (TEPCO), said.

TEPCO plans to create the sea tunnel so they can release a massive amount of treated radioactive water into the ocean. The Nuclear Regulation Authority needs to approve the plan, including the tunnel's design, equipment needed to dilute the water and other materials.

The contaminated water will be treated with seawater to reduce the levels of radioactive material to reach a safe level that won't harm the environment. The water will be released about half a mile from the plant and about 40 feet below the ocean's surface, according to TEPCO's plan.

I find it ridiculous for them to be using the word(s) "safe" and "safely" . . .

Go figure!

IAEA team in Japan for final review


TOKYO (AP) — An International Atomic Energy Agency team arrived in Tokyo on Monday for a final review before Japan begins releasing massive amounts of treated radioactive water into the sea from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant, a plan that has been strongly opposed by local fishing communities and neighboring countries.

The team, which includes experts from 11 countries, will meet with officials from the government and the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, and visit the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant during their five-day visit, the economy and industry ministry said.

Japan announced plans in April 2021 to gradually release the wastewater following further treatment and dilution to what it says are safe levels. The release is expected to begin within a few months after safety checks by Japanese nuclear regulators of the newly constructed water discharge facility and a final report by IAEA expected in late June.

The plan has faced fierce protests from local fishing communities concerned about safety and reputational damage. Nearby countries, including South Korea, China and Pacific Island nations, have also raised safety concerns.
