It was kept secret until now that 90% of the workers went AWOL to save their lives. No wonder nothing got done for months. http://rt.com/news/160336-fukushima-disaster-evacuation-report/
http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesco...shima-waters-arrive-at-west-coast-of-america/ Let me be really, really clear – there is no concern whatsoever that radioactivity from Fukushima could ever harm America. The levels of radioactivity are too low by the time they leave the area around the crippled power plant. Even if the entire Fukushima site slid into the ocean, it wouldn’t raise Cs concentrations above trace levels in the ocean at large, let alone anywhere near drinking water standards, this far away. ... The EPA drinking water standard for Cs-137 is about 7,400 Bq/m3. The amount of Cs-134 from Fukushima found off our West Coast was less than 1 Bq/m3. Fukushima will not cause any global increase in radioactivity outside the local region near Fukushima itself, and even that should resemble these other local events after ten years or so. ... Presenters at the annual Ocean Sciences Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in Honolulu in late February said ocean water containing dissolved radionuclides from Fukushima’s crippled nuclear reactors has reached the northern west coast of North America (msn.com). The scientific community found it interesting in an academic way. Some folks in the non-scientific community were quite worried. The amount of Fukushima radioactivity in this seawater is miniscule, about a Becquerel per cubic meter of water, or Bq/m3 of short-lived Cs-134, and poses no concern at all. And never will. By comparison, the EPA drinking water standard for its sister radionuclide, Cs-137, is about 7,400 Bq/m3, and for all radioactive materials is almost a million Bq/m3.

You know a little math, right? 300% increase from .000000000000001 where > 1 is dangerous. 300% sounds like a lot. The reality is that it isn't. Tout that 300% figure because it sounds scary!
You expect me to read the article? I'm a busy man! It's tough inventing daily retirement projects. You do know that a 300% increase is a quadruple, not a triple, right? Without checking, I bet you screwed that up.
Cool. An underground ice wall, going down 10 stories. Let's hope it never melts, not even an inch down there. We don't want loose water way underground creating an unknown, unreachable radioactive stream. Nothing can go wrong. This will make it better, not worse. Neat pictures. http://phys.org/news/2014-05-japan-underground-ice-wall-crippled.html http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-27669393 http://ajw.asahi.com/article/0311disaster/fukushima/AJ201405170031 http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/20...s (The Japan Times: All Stories)#.U5SCoZUU9oA
If you don't get C-SPAN, here's your chance. On May 31, a writer plugged her book for an hour. I'm sure she was very informative. Check it out and tell us what she said. http://www.c-span.org/search/?sdate...st Recent Airing&text=0&addedterm[]=fukushima
http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/545765/20140331/worker-fukushima-radiation-tepco.htm The crippled Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear power plant in Japan has claimed its first death. But it wasn't due to radiation-related reasons. A worker involved in the plant's excavation work died after getting buried in a mudslide on Friday.
Dude hasn't been to school for 30 years, so pretty much anything he learned was propoganda and has since been disproved. His livelihood depends completely on being allowed to hide industrial and nuclear waste. So I'm going to say he's about the least credible source anyone could possibly find. On top of that he is so incompetent that his website isn't even functioning. http://www.ufaventures.com/
The article itself is bogus, as there have already been over 1600 deaths attributed to the Fukushima's plant failure and subsequent evacuation. These are separate from any deaths caused by the tsunami or earthquake. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/other/f...re-earthquake-tsunami-survey-says-f8C11120007
19,000 people died from the tsunami. People were far more traumatized by that. The 1600 figure is wishful thinking by people trying to scare the masses.
From my post a few hours ago. Kids and adults either have died or will soon. For about the next 10,000 years.
