2 Year Anniversary of Fukushima: The Accident Is NOT Contained

George Washington's picture




 

 

Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen said today that the containment vessel at Fukushima reactor 2 has a large crack in it. Reactors 1, 2 and 3 all exploded. BBC reports today:

They know very little about what’s going on inside Reactors 1, 2, and 3 [...] They don’t really know what the state of the reactor core is.

Indeed, there is no containment at Fukushima.

Large quantities of radiation are still leaking into the Pacific Ocean. And see this.

The operator of the Fukushima plants says it's "impossible" to keep storing radioactive water in tanks, and Tepco will need to intentionally dump it into the ocean.

The area around Fukushima has become so contaminated that even the trees are radioactive.

And Tokyo is almost as irradiated as Fukushima.

Agence France-Presse notes:

Beach walkers are likely to encounter a disturbing but relentless flow of flotsam [from Japan] for years to come.

Indeed.

American sailors were exposed to massive doses of radiation. Conditions were so bad that they considered suicide. Many of these good men and women are now really sick. More here, here and here. (But both the Japanese and American governments have abandoned them.)

Tepco might not even meaningfully start working to decommission the plants until the radiation level drops ... decades from now (Or until the technology exists to clean it up.)

It has now been officially admitted that the accident was caused by collusion between the government and nuclear industry.

A worker at the Fukushima nuclear plan succinctly notes:

Even an elementary-school kid knows TEPCO always lies.

***

We have been fooled by the government ...

We don't mean to pick on Japan. After all, the American government is dictating nuclear policy in Japan. American reactors are even more dangerous than Fukushima. And a secret report confirms that Southern California Edison knew of major problems at the San Onofre nuclear plant ... but let the slipshod expansion and remodeling project continue anyway.

Hey Squid, the answer is as simple to understand as everything else in the zionist/globalist/bankster plans for population reduction. It is all bought and paid for propaganda to control the mass mind of the planet. Keep them peoples in the darkness of ignorance until they start a world war, or the people are to weak to do anything to stop it all.

Thanks for playing through.

When you consider the total whitewash on the health effects from open air nuclear testing in the 1950s and the insane struggle to stop that testing, nothing should surprise you about Fuckyoushima.

Nuclear radiation helped to kill John Wayne and 45 others of the 220 cast and crew of the movie The Conqueror, which was shot downwind of a nuclear test site. Of the group 91 in total developed cancer.

Dr. Robert Pendleton, professor of biology at the University of Utah, stated, "With these numbers, this case could qualify as an epidemic. The connection between fallout radiation and cancer in individual cases has been practically impossible to prove conclusively. But in a group this size you'd expect only 30-some cancers to develop. With 91, I think the tie-in to their exposure on the set of The Conqueror would hold up in a court of law." Indeed, several cast and crew members, as well as relatives of those who died, considered suing the government for negligence, claiming it knew more about the hazards in the area than it let on.

Howard Hughes had the movie filmed in a fallout area.  Then they left the location to return to Hollywood.  At least that would provide a respite for the actors and crew.  Until Hughes had dirt from the fallout site trucked into the studio locations.

Yes, yes, of course.  That's why there was a detectible amount of cancer incidence and death from the nuclear testing of the 1950's.  Human life expectancies plummeted...grotesque cancer tumours proliferated...

Before 3/11 we all had a 40% chance of getting cancer. Now it'll kill most of us before cancer has time to develop. It targets the heart muscle first.

It's the kids that'll see the bulk of the cancers, with girls about double what the boys will get. Along with smaller brains and mental health issues.

It kills the kids first. About an extra 100,000 in utero deaths per month alone.

You're an idiot.

GW completely missed the latest sensational BS story that CT scans reportedly cause 2% of all cancers, but he's still trying to squeeze the last drop of blood from the Fukushima turnip.

I have worked in radiology for 25 years.  Thyroid nodules are increasing and younger patients are being diagnosed with them (very rare! never heard of before in my work).  Your dismissal of this event, considering the consequences in Chernobyl reduce you to the moron.  Do your own search for evidence; it is easily found in a google search.

GW and folks, Didja see the amazing, first class whitewash job from the World Health Organization? 

 http://www.who.int/ionizing_radiation/pub_meet/fukushima_report/en/index.html

 Accompanying 'all is well, radiation isn't bad for you' coverage from Bloomberg here:

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-03-10/fukushima-radiation-proves-less-deadly-than-feared.html

Shall we sharpen our pencils and disassemble this criminally irresponsible, unscientific garbage barge?  Here, I'll start:

 

1. The WHO panel disregarded all radioisotopes except short-lived Iodine 131 for the general population! 

 

2.  The WHO panel disregarded all exposure in Fukushima City, the quarter-million-person population center of the province!

 

3.  Even for workers exposed to Cesium 137, the WHO panel disregarded exposure taking place after the first year!

 

Yes, they identified elevated risks for infant girls of 70% above normal background, but only for immediate surroundings, and for a very small population.  That is their 'grasp at credibility' I guess.  But they state that the entire incident can't be separated from background levels.

They should all be relocated to the plant site for a while, to reconsider their findings.

This is not only slowly KILLING Americans in North and South America as planned to do, it is also backfiring onto the chinese mainland and ALL of those other Asian countries in the area. They are actually and have been according to the historic fallout maps, getting far more radioactive fallout than America is. The bastardly plan is to kill off both adversaries using the evil tricks of lies and deception to start more war. Now who could possibly be responsible for all this, or who will profit from it? Do you think these same deceivers/devils will do something to instigate more war between North Korea and the USA with a small submarine? Lets sure hope not.

ZH had a post a few days ago that in Japan "mud pies" were becoming a delicacy as people are taking top soil, boiling and making it into a puree. Is it possible the propaganda machine has convinced people to become the radioactive trap? Good way to speed up the process of getting rid of the pensioners a bit faster.

How many of you know what your outdoor background radiation is? How many of the people know that the radiation that is being spewed out from fukushima is coming in greater waves across the USA and Canada every day? How many know that the eastern USA and north eastern parts of Canada are some of the hardest hit areas by these waves of poisonous radiation?

Just last week on March 8, 2013, the western states of Arizona, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, and Idaho were hard hit by a wave of higher than normal radiation that was fell to the ground in the rain/snow that came then. We measured a paper towel wipe from our trucks front windshield and it was three times our normal background on that date, and five times the normal average background standard. Try to imagine what your garden is taking in after it rains.

Watch waves coming in here at the RadNet Query page:

https://cdxnode64.epa.gov/radnet-public/query.do

What we have noticed in the last two years is these waves are not abating. They are coming more and more and are even being added to by waves of radiation from places like that Hanford one in Washington. The people are oblivious of what is happening because the lame stream media will not touch on the reality of the severity of this horrible killing situation. This wicked population killing radiation leakage from all over the planet is purposely being perpetuated by those who own the media, govts, and evil money god machine. The devious elitist evil plan is known as the population elimination agenda.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-02-22/radioactive-waste-leaking-washi...
 
On the jet stream maps you can watch the flowing over all those states east of Washington that are getting the double whammy of rads from japan, and Washington. That upper part of Idaho, most of Montana, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, lots of Wyoming, and all those states more eastward are being bombarded daily. They have been for many years with this poisonous radioactive fallout. If one were to tell all those people that live up there this, they will just scoff at the very prospect that Bechtel is poisoning them as sure as the big pharma companies are poisoning them also. All the babylonians in blah-blah DC govt are killing themselves off and seem to be to ignorant to realize this. Want proof? Do a comparison of how many people have died from symptoms of slow radiation poising in these upper states, say compared to a places like southern California and Baja Mexico.

http://stormsurfing.com/cgi/display_alt.cgi?a=nam_250

Dear people, if you have not figured out that the babylonian bankster govt is killing off most of the world’s people using all sorts of slow kill mechanisms in their population elimination plans, then you really do not want to know how many of your friends and relatives died of some sort of slow radiation poisoning. If you are not taking preventive measures to protect your self and those you care for in the best ways possible, you should. We are ALL getting killed off with the foods, water, air, chemicals, TV, bio-pollutions, media, and wars little by little. How can man profit from this slow death of the rest of his kind and his world? Only the devil/deceiver knows what is in the works of such deviant and dastardly self destroying actions. Is there any life form, any kind at all on the planet that can not see the pigs are crapping in their own oat meal bowls, and eating it too? Is there any one that cannot see the destruction of all life on the planet? Is there anyone that actually thinks they can escape to survive in this coming hell of evil spinning into a soup of destructive oblivion?

yap, got a gamma scout reader, one of the best for above ground, not food testing, radiation counter. Presently in Switzerland normal at 0.15-0.35 micro sieverts per hour , although during north atlantic flights it gets up to 2.5 msv and during the xray testing of my luggage it hits above 80 msv.

Background can be a little high in Switzerland thnks to the Ukrainian catastrophe.  I remember see all of the burned trees in Switzerland and Bavaria after Chernobyl, huge areas where everything just died.  Really quite shocking to see.

Recently radiation levels around Chernobyl have been rising significantly in some places and no one is quite sure why, but I suspect it may be far from over.

the best gamma scout model have an alpha, beta, gamma logger in 10 seconds interval, so just tell the guy at the airport security controls to let your luggage stay for a while to examinate the gamma scout terrorist device and you will get an astounding answer on the radiation they use.
Remember your thorax xray exposure is approx. 1/50 of a second, however if you let food through these scanners it will get exposed to radiation for many seconds, that by far exceeds any govt. allowed limits.
Do they tell you? Of course not, we are sheeples, at least some of us - not!

Fukushima Digs In for Decades of Cleanup

The Wall Street Journal, page A8

March 9, 2013

 

"It will take 30 to 40 years to remove the melted nuclear fuel to safe storage," said Fukushima Daiichi plant manager Takeshi Takahashi, during a recent media tour of the compound. "During that process, we must never again release radioactive materials, either in gaseous or liquid form."

 

Controlling contaminated water is another challenge.

 

The continuing discovery of highly contaminated fish in the waters off Fukushima is also raising concerns that there are still cracks in the reactor buildings that are leaking irradiated water into the sea.

 

Last month, surveyors caught a greenling near the plant containing a record-high level of radioactive cesium -- 510,000 becquerels per kilogram -- or 5,100 times the level the government deems safe for consumption.

 

Last year, a radiation reading of 73 sieverts was recorded inside the containment structure of reactor 2 -- a level so high that it wouldn't only kill a human instantly, but could even disable a remote-controlled robot.

 

Tepco says the unit is "under control."
