On 24 May 2012, two United Nations organizations released preliminary results of their so called studies of radiation exposure in Japan. The problem is that those “studies” relied on government provided data, which even now TEPCo says are wrong.
First, the UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, or UNSCEAR, claimed that six workers at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant did not die from radiation.
UNSCEAR did say that eight workers were exposed to dangerous levels of radiation. UNSCEAR will make a final report at the end of the year.
Second, the UN World Health Organization is reporting that Japan has not been exposed to dangerous levels of radiation! The UNWHO did say that radiation levels where dangerous near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, and that infants were susceptible to thyroid cancer.
Reason number 1 that the UN studies are bogus: Data was provided by the Japanese government, which from day one of the nuclear disasters has proven to be either grossly incompetent, or a bunch of blatant liars. The United Nations organizations did not conduct any of their own testing! Independent radiation testing, by individuals, local governments and even local businesses have revealed higher radiation levels than what the government of Japan is reporting.
A Reuters report pointed out that the UN studies “…did not deal with radiation exposure suffered by emergency workers or people closest to the disaster site.” and that “The experts based their assessment on data available up to last September…” In other words the faulty government data they used wasn’t even up to date!
Reason number 2 that the UN studies are bogus: On the same day the United Nations was trying to calm everyone’s concerns over the ongoing nuclear disaster at Fukushima Daiichi, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) made a startling revelation; 900,000 terabecquerels of radioactive iodine-131 and cesium-137 have spewed from Reactor 1 and Reactor 3, since the end of March 2011! That’s as much as 80% higher than official Japanese government data!
When you compare the Fukushima Daiichi cesium-137 levels to Chernobyl, it’s four times higher!
