Japan's Fukushima Lies Blow Up With Admission Of First Radiation Cancer Casualty
The main reason why Japan has been able to successfully push the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster far out of the public eye, is for the simple reason that the tragic fallout from said disaster would take many years to materialize: after all, it takes a long time between the initial irradiation to the first cancer symptoms, to the sad terminal outcome.
However, for the biggest, and most criminal, cover up by a Japanese government in recent history, the irradiated chickens are coming home to roost and earlier today Japan finally acknowledged the first "possible casualty" from radiation at the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant, a worker who was diagnosed with cancer after the crisis broke out in 2011.
According to Reuters, "the health ministry's recognition of radiation as a possible cause may set back efforts to recover from the disaster, as the government and the nuclear industry have been at pains to say that the health effects from radiation have been minimal."
A more accurate way of putting is that after lying for nearly 5 years that there is nothing to worry about and people should just go about their business, and that Fukushima is nothing to worry about, an unknown number of people were being exposed to deadly radiation, and only now are the consequences of the government's lies starting to appear.
Reuters also adds that this announcement may also add to compensation payments that had reached more than 7 trillion yen ($59 billion) by July this year. That, however for those morbidly wondering, is bullish for stocks: it means Japan will need to issue more debt, thus giving the BOJ even more debt to monetize, thus pushing the Nikkei higher.
Reuters has more on Japan's lies:
Hundreds of deaths have been attributed to the chaos of evacuations during the crisis and because of the hardship and mental trauma refugees have experienced since then, but the government had said that radiation was not a cause.
The male worker in his 30s, who was employed by a construction contractor, worked at Tokyo Electric Power Co's Fukushima Daiichi plant and other nuclear facilities, a health ministry official said.
And yet, even when it partially admits the truth, Japan is still lying: according to the Japanese ministry official, of total radiation exposure of 19.8 millisieverts (mSv), the worker received a dose of 15.7 (mSv) between October 2012 and December 2013 working at Fukushima. As the pursits will repeatedly point out, this exposure is well lower than the annual 50 mSv limit for nuclear industry workers, suggesting that the government was not only lying about the risk of death by radiation, but also about the total exposure innocent civilians had been exposed to while believing the government's lies.
The good news is that with Japan's blatant disregard for human life now exposed, Japan's civilians can finally take the protective measures they should have taken years ago.
The bad news, is that this is only the first tragic death resulting from Fukushima (with countless many more covered up). And now that the government has admitted the truth (which it likely did as it had no other choice as the bodies were piling up rapidly), expect hundreds if not thousands more Fukushima-related casualties to "make the news" in the months ahead.

When it gets serious, you have to lie
Child cancers up fiftyfold after Fukushima disasterhttp://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/world/asia/article4579144.ece
Japan faces 200-year wait for Fukushima clean-uphttp://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/world/asia/article4394978.ece
That is why everything coming out from piliticians and leaders nowadays should not be trusted at all. Everything is serious now.
Unfortunately..
You ain’t seen nothing yet.
I still want the potassium iodide concession at the 2020 Games.
But their own Japanese Prime Minister said, "It's only a tiny leak."
What gives?
for those wondering, the dose measurement they are pointing to is only a measurement of how much background ratiation his dosimeter experienced. if this guy had inhaled or imbibed a dirty enough PARTICLE of contamination, then his dosimiter wouldn't pick it up (it is shielded by his body), and he could get hundreds to hundreds of thousands of times his exposure limit.
I hope those japs don't get any birth defects like slanted eyes or something.
I knew I should have invested in cancer treatment clinics on the west coast of the US five years ago! Dammit!
I thought the first cancer death was the plant manager that led the effort to stop the meltdowns from happening...
"Yoshida was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, which was determined by TEPCO to be unrelated to the nuclear accident"

Just for fun google: USS Ronald Reagan Fukushima
Yeah it gets really real
One banana dose, max. Maybe two. This news item is not reporting the first case of radiation-linked cancer from Fukushima. It's only reporting the first case 1) of a Fukushima nuclear clean-up worker diagnosed with cancer requesting compensation, and 2) the Ministry of Health approving compensation on the basis of exposure. The fact that (most of) the dose was at Fukushima is irrelevant to the Ministry's decisions - the radiation-induced cancer guidelines apply to any nuclear worker in Japan. The MoH guidelines are if a worker was exposed to more than 5 mSv and subsequently developed cancer, and other causes could be ruled out. The Ministry reported 10 claims filed, seven rejected and two pending plus this approved one. There were 45,000 clean-up workers that have worked at Fukushima and many have had more than 5 mSv of exposure. Their cancer and cancer-related deaths are kept secret - Japan will not provide any information like that. We only know of 10 compensation claims so far.
Article in Fukushima Mimpo on September 20, 2011:
Fukushima Prefecture’s New Cancer Center: “Recovery” Vision by Fukushima Medical University
Wait a sec... radiation from Fukushima is safe, right? Anderson Cooper told me that. Or maybe it was Erin Burnett, and they know this stuff.
Couldn't happen here..... http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-nuclear-fire-20151020-story.html
But their own Japanese Prime Minister said, 'It's only a tiny leak.'"
No... No! He said "It's only a tiny reek" and he meant it. It only reeked a little bit. The radiation killed off almost all of the bacteria so there was no odor to speak of. Reek free.
Anyone remember the Japanese newsman (Norikazu Otsuka) who was eating Fukushima grown food on TV? He died real soon thereafter http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2815497/posts
Ummm...no he didn't. He's still alive, though with leukemia
Let's bottom line the deal. There are 99 aging nukuloor plants. Expect a Chernobyl/Fukushima every 20-25 years. So how many years does the human race have?
Let's up the ante. World War. All 99 plants are immediately "in play". Nothing like placing nukuloor bombs all over the place.
This is why we will be harnessing cow farts for all of our energy needs of the future. Energy for the masses and stop Global Warming® (since rebranded Climate Change®, since rebranded CO2 Pollution®, since rebranded Climate Disruption®). No glowing peoples in the mean time.
The dead don't pollute. They fertilize.
"Ummm...no he didn't. He's still alive, though with leukemia"
I think he is dead now. The link is from 2011.
I came across his death a few years ago. Now in looking for it, he appears to have vanished! Perhaps the Japan Secrecy Act obliterated his death notice. Either way, eating radioactive food is just not cool.
"...Anyone remember the Japanese newsman (Norikazu Otsuka) who was eating Fukushima grown food on TV? He died real soon thereafter..."
Still alive as far as anyone knows, but treating acute lymphocytic leukemia? He probably wishes he died right after being diagnosed at the end of 2011.
"...Since 311, he has been “supporting north Japan by eating their food"..." from Fukushima Diary and was getting anti-cancer drugs through a tube in his neck.
He was diagnosed as 'in remission' at the end of 2012. Announced return to TV in Feb. of 2013 in new show, but that got cancelled in March when his cancer re-appeaed. Had an umbilical cord blood treatment in June, and was released from the hospital at the end of 2013.
He dropped off the radar since then, but I'm willing to bet he's been cutting back on his 'support' for Fukushima and no longer eats Fukushima-grown food (at least through his feeding tube).
ZH always on about yellow I'm sure some exceptional American will start pressing coins out of Urainium.
Unfortunately, I have to agree. What is shocking (!) how the western MSM pressitudes refuse to cover Fukushima. Could it be because Fukushima is a real extinction event, versus the phony AGM scam?
But it's so far away and I just feel so..... sleepy.....Zzzzzzzzzzz.
The MSM isn't ever going to cover it. What amazes me is how little you hear from the people who SHOULD be pitching a fit, and do on a regular basis: the enviro-nazis. One fucking mud puddle in central Texas dries up and they're screaming bloody murder. Then you get REAL murder happening with LARGE areas polluted with radiation and guess what? <crickets>
"What amazes me is how little you hear from the people who SHOULD be pitching a fit, and do on a regular basis: the enviro-nazis."
The entire environmental movement has been co-opted and is completely faux.
But if you agree to implement carbon taxes ......
AS an insider who grew up with environmentalists i agree, all the organizations care about is that donations keep flowing in from people who send them guilt money for someone to fight their battles for them because they're too lazy to try and make a difference on their own.Mostly environmentalists got tired of banging their heads against the wall because government/big business fights change kicking and screaming and nobody else listens either. so fuck all y'all don't depend on anyone to fight your own battles for you....want change you have to lobby on your own. pretty easy to criticise, alot harder to actually get off the internet and do somthing about the things you actually care about ....good luck with that.
I was on a walk the other day and a Greenpeacer was trying to solicit donations to save the humpbacks. Now, I like whales, but I hate the phonies at agree peace, so when this guy chats me up, I said no thanks and he starts getting all blustery with me. So I turned and lo oked at him and said in a pretty loud voice "agree peace has never responded to my email about why they aren't out screaming about Fikushima. If you're the supposed guardians of the ocean, you should be leading the charge, but your organization says nothing about the biggest threat to the whales and to life on the planet and THAT is why I will never support your group." Guy was stunned and didn't say a word, just kind of snuck away. God I was pissed.
BP spill in the gulf? Greenpeace? No show.
Humpbacks?
I though he said hunchbacks - I gave him ten bucks.
Igor thanks you for your help.
The tree huggers will just go back to staring at their iPhones and using their Prius cars to haul their plastic kayaks down to the water to "block" Shell's oil rig from going to Alaska. Good times, good times...
<< watch trump
<< watch sad children slowly die
They had a magic negro to protect, and if they come clean now, they risk being strung up along with said magic negro, or Zyklon-B'd if they belong a certain tribe.
Coverage might make people draw dots together......let no crisis go to waste.....from a ruling standpoint - between their numbers and demographics, coupled with their econ - their bust ........ a mass die off helps to right the ship.
Raise your hand if you don't think that the US Gov is lying to you about Fukushima's impact on the Western US? If so, why would the narrative be any different than the lies they told related to Hanford WA / Santa Susana CA / 3 Mile Island.....
Remember: "I am from the Government, I am here to help"
Not a purposeful extinction event- an exposure of how the Western Deep State media control extends to client states like Japan. We help them (japan's leadership) save face until they die comfortably, at which time the truth is allowed to be FOIA'd into existence (if at all). If the truth about Japan's irradiation were known, it would tank their economy even further, and we can't have that as they prop up OUR stock market in return! Gotta love the web of debt that binds us all to the NWO.
Kids are getting cancer?
Good news!
Now there is a vaccine for radiation poisoning!
It contains a less than immediately lethal dose of cesium.
Strictly a low level exposure.
Important factoid.
Apparently it is SOP in Japan for doctors to NOT inform their patients that they have cancer. Doesn't show up on the death certificate, either.
Better get your 'seaweed superfood smoothie' trademarked and ready to go....
Just don't use seaweed from anywhere near Fukushima, obviously.
And they already have a demographic problem...this isn't going to help with that.
Government doing what it does best....lying.
The American engineer who supervised and engineered aspects of the old Three Mile Island Nuclear Plant Cleanup has gone public on Fukushima. In short he said something along these lines.
"No engineering solution is in existence or on the drawing board that could be used to clean up the three nuclear cores at Fukushima. The situation defies 2015 engineering skills. The very best case scenario is that progress in technology might advance over the next 50 years allowing a beginning to be made at actual clean up. Let's be clear, nothing is being cleaned up at Fukushima. Water is sprayed to cool cores and spent fuel. That water is being stored. The core nuclear material is not under control and nobody has a clue how to get at it, find it and actually begin to remove it. Robots are useless, the level of radiation will fry semiconductors and even actual analog circuits."
I believe a state of the art robot was designed to work in Fukushima and it quickly was fried.
Here you go JB.
"Robot Dies 3 Hours After Entering Fukushima Reactor"
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-12/contained-robot-dies-3-hours-af...
stupid fear mongering website caters to like minded people who are also, by the way, to lazy to do their own research:
http://thebreakthrough.org/index.php/issues/nuclear/nopetheres-no-thyroi...
Oh, and 15Msv is almost always, by almost all scientists, considered to be safe. At least, there is no actual studies to show that such an annual dose causes any problems. Maybe one of you future ignoble prize winners will find such a study.
Yeah, right.
Tell me lies... Tell me sweet little lies!...
i used to think the former soviet union lied alot. japan and the usa take the cake these days.
Japan is where 'yes' means 'no'.
The Japanese invented kabuki!
Didn't a Japanese get a Nobel Prize for his Bukake research?
Passing a geiger counter over my kid will open a can of woop ass under intense pressure.
Amazing the shit people will tolerate. Sorta like they are sheep or something.
Geiger is just a passive measuring device-no harm. The harm is from the radiation it may detect. It's a good thing to know if your kids clothes or skin are contaminated. The thing to get angry about is what caused the contamination.
I was putting the cart in front of the donkey. By the time the geiger counter is employed some serious bullshit has probably taken place.
Serious bullshit = ingestion or inhalation of one hot particle.
He'd rather not know.
He obviously does not know that a Geiger Counter passively measures contanimation. He does not even want to know that.
But he will allow his children to sit in front of a TeeVee Set...an radiation emmision device. He will allow his children to glue their ears to a cell phone and allow the microwaves to slowly cook their brains...
(If you ever climb a hill where there are Cell Phone Transmission Towers those Radiation Warning Signs are not there because they are decorative.)
Yes it is amazing what people will tolerate. After all it is for convenience's sake.
And then if he took a Geiger Counter and placed the detector up to the smoke alarm...he'd get a real shock as the Amercium is in decay...
"And then if he took a Geiger Counter and placed the detector up to the smoke alarm...he'd get a real shock as the Amercium is in decay"
Harmless unless you swallow it. Amercium is an Alpha emitter. Alpha radation does not penetrate skin or even paper. On the other hand, grocery stores sell NoSalt (KCl), which contains Potassium-40 and is a beta & gamma emitter.
Check this guy out. I admire his initiative. just didn't seem to think it through all the way.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hahn
You should see what a Geiger does when you put on top of an old Fiesta orange plate! The orange was Uranium!
However, you could eat 3 meals a day off a full place setting of orange Fiestawear and get only about twice the average background radiation. The heavy alpha ions don't go far in air and the light betas can't penetrate as pointed out above. The key is particles--if they are sealed and bound under an intact glaze, you won't be ingesting them. If the glaze has a crack, that's another matter--some might leach out into the food and get ingested.
Getting back to the kids, if you have an emitting particle on your clothing, you might inhale it. Depending on what it is, your body might mistake it for another mineral and store it--then it sits there and fires away, point blank. We've probably all got some--it's a numbers game, statistical; the fewer the better; enough and you're screwed.
Cell phone handsets are vastly better than the early, big ones, but minimizing use and using a wireless ear piece, which has to transmit only a few feet to the phone, is good.
Of course we've got some. 200+ (or was it 500+) nuclear tests in the 20th century dumped a lot of garbage into the atmosphere, and consequently, us.
" course we've got some. 200+ (or was it 500+) nuclear tests in the 20th century dumped a lot of garbage into the atmosphere, and consequently, us."
Well most of the bombs contained realitivity small amounts of fissile material. Perhaps the exceptions are the Hydrogen bomb expermiments since they used a U-238 tamper. The bigger risks to the enviroment are from the nuclear plant meltdowns. A reactor contains many tons of fissile material. Fukashima and chernobyl, each release more contaminted material than multiple times the emissions from Nuclear weapons testing. Also another source is leaking miltary plants that made lots of radioactive waste for the production of bombs. In some instances, the waste was burned in open pit fires. When WW3 happens, those in the urban regions will die off from the bombs, everyone else is likely to die off when the worlds 440 nuclear reactors with their spent fuel pools meltdown.
Another big source of radioactive contamination is from coal. Coal (being carbon) absorbs heavy metals like a sponge. Coal Plants\smelting furnances that do not use scrubbers release a few tons of uranium into the atmosphere every year.
And still there is no way of stopping the radioactive pollution leaking into the environment...
The island is poisoned.
The Pacific is poisoned.
Hey, your local fast food restaurant is featuring a sandwich with "North Pacific Cod"!
Those left-wing nuts are still hyping that Pacific tuna. Whole Paycheck charges almost five times the normal mercury-impregnanted tuna price for a can of that radiation+mercury tuna.
I guess it's special.
Maybe, but think of all the Munny you save by not having to buy candles!
energy news is a fake website
Fake how?
The world is lifes' island.
There is nothing else out there.
how about the water sloshing up on the shores of san diego?
Poisoned.
I have reported here, on ZH, before on Tuna caught offshore having a CPM greater than 5 over that of background. I may take a trip to the beach...with my Geiger counter...and do some counts on Kelp in the near future.
"Tuna caught offshore having a CPM greater than 5 over that of background."
Its not just the Radiation that is the problem, but also all of the heavy metals like Mecury in Seafood. All those Coal fired plants in China with zero scrubbers is putting tons of heavy metals into the pacific every day (FYI: not against Coal fired plants, as long as they are equipped with scrubbers to remove flyash, which isn't terribly expensive).
I am regularly surprised that my cat's hair hasn't fallen out from all the heavy metals in seafood.
what, yer not feeding yer cat mouse-flavored food?
...and cue why I won't eat seafood anymore. Well actually I stopped after the massive BP debacle. The people of Japan need to stop being such passive idiots and wake the fuck up. But then again the same could be said about the people in the good 'ol USA.
Compare the effort at Chernobyl versus Fukushima.
No doubt. The Russians did not fuck around when that bitch blew. Admirable indeed. Although most of the workers likely had little idea what they were in for long term...
If the worker received only 15 mSv it is extremely unlikley that direct whole body radiation or thyroid (or other organ) uptake exposure was the cause. Either his exposure was much higher than reported or his cancer came from other causes.
Since he was in his Thirties...and he died of cancer...we can INFER that his exposure was much, much higher than reported.
The liklihood of men in their thirties dying of cancer is minimal.
Yes they are lying.
If the Government told me that it was sunny outdoors...I'd have to get an umbrella ready and check it out for myself.
Millions are dying in the streets of Tokyo ...
(no one cares)
The millions who are dying in the streets of Tokyo care.
You can bet on that.
It is just not reported that they care.
Time to cancel the Olympics?
But who's gonna run the 100mSv dash?
LOL. That's gold, right there.
Instead of calling it "cancer", how about "cellular over-exuberance?"
There, isn't that better?
This is a fairly dangerous dose if you look at the BEIR report. Light reading: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1310955/
There isn't a living thing on the planet that has not been exposed to radiation. Here is a list of common sources.
Basically, we are all going to die.
Yep, get your cheap land next to Chernobyl then and move your entire family there. Ya all gonna die anyway.
Well, clearly the only sensible solution is suicide. The radiation will gitcha all sooner or later, so just do it. One squeeze of the trigger or a little step off the edge and all your worries go away -- forever. I mean, why stick around with all this stuff infecting you and causing so much anxiety? Best to just get it over with right now, or maybe once you get home. Just end it all before it's too late.
You do not mind if I include this post in my suicide note and make certain to forward this to law enforcement, right?
Besides an Insulin Overdose is a much more pleasant way...
LOL. Once pro-nook kooks like Deus Irate here have their pants pulled down, this is all they have left.
Well played <golf clap>.
The evacuation itself caused the death of at least 1600.
"the biggest, and most criminal, cover up by a Japanese government"
Meh, not even close. They are still denying, white-washing all the evil war-crimes, atrocities they did before the end of WWII....
No problemo. They have the Obamacare safety net.
Funny how lizzie warren doesn't tell her feminazis how the first thing the bolshies did was gangrape all the "communal" women, and kill everybody who tried to stop them.
bu bu but they've told us for years how cheap and safe nuclear power is. Well, I guess it is as long as you don't count hundreds of square miles of land made uninhabitable and tens of thousands of cancer deaths and...well, as long as they don't put a nuclear power plant in my back yard yeah nuclear power is great!!
Oh, what's that you say about prevailing winds carrying nuclear radiation for hundreds of miles??? Yikes!
I need an electric can opener and battery operated sex toys, though. It's a trade-off I am on the fence about.
I see a downvoter needs his nuclear powered sex toys and will gladly support nuclear power plants going, well, nuclear, as long as his toys remain powered.
That's just sick, but maybe the thought of all that human misery gets him off.
"Neclear Powered Sex Toy"... I think I saw those guys in 1992. I believe they opened for Rancid.
The Fukushima 50- the leading engineers, scientists and managers who operated all six reactors when the rest of the workforce evacuated. The Fukushima 50 are all dead from cancer.
The worst has already happened when reactor building 3 blew up and threw sky high the spent fuel pool container- showering the immediate area with spent fuel rods and MOX.
Because of that large parts of Japan, the Pacific Ocean and the West Coast of North America have been sprinkled with hot particles. Sure they are scattered and depending on the time frame it's not likely a person would breathe them in, but once inside they will cause cancer 100% of the time.
The problem though is that these hot particles are going to be lasting for hundreds of years. Of course let's not forget all of that radioactive caesium pouring into the Pacific every single day which is destroying creatures day by day.
I don't believe Fukushima is an extinction event. But I do believe that tens of millions of people are going to prematurely die this century from cancer/tumours/growths.
Oh yes, do you know there are still spent fuel pools in reactors 1 and 2? Which still can't be reached? And all of the radioactive water in those hastily erected storage tanks? And the molten cores deep underground contaminating the water table?
One strong Earthquake or typhoon and there will be an even bigger mess.
Radioactive cesium is water soluble.
The meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi is the disaster the disaster that keeps on giving. When the Japanese economy is discussed by Bloomberg and other corporate publications, the costs associated with cleanup of this disaster, which will run into hundreds of billions $$, are rarely, if ever mentioned. GE was involved in the design and construction of these reactors along with TEPCO. Is it any wonder that Fukushima is the proverbial drunk uncle, no one wants to bring up?
You will know when it will gets really bad -- once you start seeing Japanese tobacco companies blaming lung cancer on cigarettes instead of Fukushima exposure!
in the news there is a St. Louis landfill fire that threatens nuclear waste dumped there from the WW2 Manhatten Project.
What do the Kardashians have to say about this?
Only one ! Surely you jest ? That's a slow puncture.
when govt. sodomizes you
do nothing, enjoy it
