Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation Fallout: Renovations reveal U.S. park is nuke disaster area! Woods Hole confirms Fukushima radiation heading to North America!

22 October 2014 (14:22 UTC-07 Tango)/27 Dhu l-Hijja 1435/30 Mehr 1393/29 Jia-Xu 4712

United States: What does a 1994 U.S. Department of Energy memo say is the best treatment for tritium exposure?  Water, lots and lots of water.  Is that the real reason the U.S. military suddenly (in the mid-1990s) adopted a policy of “Drink water!” for ground troops?

In Louisiana, a nuclear disaster drill was held (one of dozens that have been held across the U.S. this year) and it involved a nuke waste truck heading to New Mexico’s WIPP, and a school bus.  The area was chosen because WIPP waste trucks actually drive that route: “We actually transport radiation. It’s materials left over from the production of nuclear weapons. So it’s how to respond to radiation should it occur. And it’s different in the chemical aspect because you can’t see it taste it or smell it.”-Bobby St. John, Waste Isolation Pilot Project

In Seattle, Washington, residents near Magnuson Park are outraged after learning the popular park is actually contaminated with radiation left over from the Second World War.   Renovations of two buildings revealed radium contamination.  When some local news sources heard the rumor, and then went to the park, they found  Washington State Department of Ecology employees with geiger counters.  The state employees said the radiation levels were OK for a person to be in the area for two hours per day, five days per week.  One politician is pissed: “Totally unacceptable. It’s a gross injustice to say we’re going to call this safe and cleaned up when future children using the park will be at risk of getting cancer.

…..How many of you have children or high school students who use the park more than two hours a day?”-Gerry Pollet, state representative

Canada: U.S. based Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is now warning that Fukushima radiation, still flooding into the Pacific Ocean, is about to come ashore on North America.

On 02 August 2014, a water sample taken off the coast of British Columbia, Canada, showed cesium-134 and 137 originating from the GE designed disaster reactors at Fukushima Daiichi.  Woods Hole officials will reveal more at a public announcement in November: “There is definitely offshore Fukushima cesium now. It’s not on the beaches, but it’s offshore.”– Ken Buesseler

Japan: Continuos tropical storms and cyclones are flooding contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean.  Phanfone and Vongfong have increased leaked cesium levels to 251-thousand becquerels per liter, tritium as high as 150-thousand bq, and strontium to 1.2-million bq!

And soon they’ll be even more, as Tokyo Electric Power Company has begun controlled demolition of reactor building 1.  The problem is TEPCo tried that last year with reactor building 3 and the result was massive contamination of rice fields due to radioactive dust being spread by the demolition.

This time TEPCo officials say before they remove the protective canopy from reactor 1 building they will spray down the interior with chemicals to try and reduce the amount of dust.

A former news anchor for Japanese state TV revealed he was fired for reporting the truth about Fukushima Daiichi: “I am a newscaster, but I couldn’t tell the true story on my news program.  I was on the ground in Fukushima, and a lot of people kept asking me, why didn’t you tell us earlier about what is happening? ….then my superiors said the NHK was getting complaints from politicians about what I was saying. They told me I had to stop.”-Hori Jun, former anchor-reporter for NHK

Russia: Studies aboard the International Space Station are showing that cosmic radiation is not as big a threat to astronauts as first thought: “This finding is crucial to the planning of protracted space flights. It means in practical terms we can fly longer and go further.”-Vyacheslav Shurshakov, Institute of Medical-Biological Problems

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation fallout: Japan’s kelp farms contaminated, Ireland to the rescue? WIPP scientists can’t figure out “hot reaction”! Schools being contaminated with Smart Boards?

09 June 2014 (20:40 UTC-07 Tango 08 June 2014)/10 Sha’ban 1435/19 Khordad 1393/12 Geng Wu 4712

Campaign for Radiation Free Schools is sounding the alarm over the use of Smart Boards in U.S. schools.  They cite the United Nations, which says the interactive white boards could emit radiation, classifying them as a 2B carcinogen.  The University of Toronto, in Canada, thinks they should be classified as the more dangerous 2A carcinogen.

In the U.S. state of New Jersey, people (including scientists with the National Academy of Sciences) are insinuating the government is hiding data concerning radiation emissions from the nuclear powered Oyster Creek Generating Station.   Researchers say a 1995 report by the Brookhaven National Laboratory shows massive levels of radiation contamination ever since 1972: “The data was extremely hard to find.  They appear to be staggering, and we never knew.”-Janet Tauro

The people are demanding the U.S. government make public all the records of contamination: “In 1972 and ’73 they had some pretty high releases, and again in 1978 and ’79.”-David Lochbaum, Union of Concerned Scientists

In the U.S. state of California, the U.S. Navy has agreed to conduct radiation testing at their former Treasure Island operation.  People living on the former naval station have reported hair loss, rashes, cancer and heart failure.  Recent housing development operations  revealed that the Navy buried radioactive waste on site.  The city of San Francisco is using Treasure Island as a “premiere” upscale housing project, but some of the new home owners have packed up and left.

In the U.S. state of New Mexico, the ongoing Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) catastrophe has scientists baffled.   A report by Weapons Complex Monitor revealed that Los Alamos scientists were unable to replicate a “hot reaction” based on what WIPP investigators thought was the cause of the explosion (chemical reaction).  Investigators blamed organic cat litter for possibly absorbing chemicals that built up and then reacted with whatever was in some LANL mixed waste drums.  LANL scientist could not get the same thing to happen in their experiment, suggesting the ‘chemical reaction’ was caused by something else.

And now, New Mexican politicians want the Obama regime to increase taxpayer funding for the military’s WIPP.  Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich say the $220.5-million USD that Obama wants for WIPP is not enough to deal with the disaster, they want Congress to spend even more money.  They think it will take at least two years to shutdown WIPP.

In the land of the General Electric designed Fukushima Daiichi, more BS.

First, it’s been revealed that much of Japan’s kelp production has been shutdown due to contamination.  On the other side of the world, the Irish island of Rathlin is about to make bank supplying the seaweed eating Japanese with Irish kelp.  A mom and her son have bet everything on their Rathlin kelp farm, and the ongoing Fukushima Daiichi disaster: “Due to the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, a lot of the seaweed production in that part of the world has been closed down. Combine that with the growth of the Asian population who eat seaweed, plus the growth in the European population who now are interested in seaweed, and sushi is a big growth market. So we will be pursuing the European and Asian markets. The waters around the British Isles are particularly suitable because of the Gulf Stream as it means our temperatures are near optimum year round. But especially round Rathlin. Rathlin is a very strong tidal place and kelp like strong tides. In Rathlin, the tides are ideal, between one and two knots.”-Kate Burns, hopeful Irish kelp farmer

Officials with the government of Singapore claim they will soon lift their ban on food grown in Fukushima Prefecture.

TEPCo reports continued leaks of highly contaminated water, into the Pacific Ocean.

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) has been given the go-a-head for their experimental in-ground ice wall.  TEPCo claims their gigantic refrigeration system will freeze the ground deep down and prevent contaminated ground water from getting into the Pacific ocean.

The Japan Times reports that tritium contamination from Fukushima Daiichi has surpassed official limits.  On 26 May 2014, 12 wells were tested and they all contained more than 1700 becquerels per liter of tritium!  The safe limit is 1500 Bq.

TEPCo admits it can not shutdown the disaster reactors until they can stop the massive water leaks.  And high radiation levels are preventing that!

TEPCo has given up on its ALPS water filtration system and has hired a U.S. company to do the job.  The company is California based Kurion, and they will focus on removal of tritium and strontium from the water.

Fukushima WIPP Radiation fallout: Comedy of errors in Japan, more deadly lies exposed! Missouri residents testing for radiation, scares the crap out of EPA! Taxpayer funded dumb ass WIPP experts clueless!

17 April 2014 (22:27 UTC-07 Tango 16 April 2014)/16 Jumada t-Tania 1435/28 Farvardin 1393/18 Wu-Chen 4712

Residents living near the West Lake Landfill in Bridgeton, Missouri U.S.A., have just received $16-thousand USD worth of radiation detecting equipment, from a private donor (The private donor is a lawyer who is now suing the Landfill operators).  This is because the landfill is full of uranium waste, dumped there in the 1970s, and is a Superfund cleanup site.

Residents appealed to the U.S. EPA for help, but were blown off.  The EPA claims the landfill is safe, saying the radiation is “contained” to the 81 hectare (200 acres) Superfund site.  The community has learned that the EPA never did any radiological testing outside the Landfill.  Two groups, Missouri Coalition for the Environment and Just Moms SLT, recently conducted their own soil sampling and discovered high levels of radiation in the residential areas around the Landfill.

The groups also tested the city baseball park located next to the site, and the city officials responded by calling  the action terroristic “trespassing”.  The new radiation detection equipment includes monitors to test for airborne radiation.

But wait, late breaking news!  The chicken shit EPA has just suddenly (literally as I write this) reversed its decision and has announced it will conduct testing around the West Lake Landfill!  You citizens go ahead with your testing, don’t ever trust them government assholes!

If you’ve been religiously following the Fukushima disaster you would know that the only sources for reliable info on radiation contamination has been coming from universities, NGOs and individual citizens, not government agencies or the corporations.  As a result, Tokyo Electric Power Company has been outed many times for lying about their official radiation numbers.

Speaking of unreliable governments who lie, The Asahi Shimbum revealed that two weeks after some evacuees were told to return to their homes, just recently, that the actual airborne and individual radiation readings in those areas now deemed safe by the government, are still at dangerous levels: “Individual radiation doses were estimated to be beyond 1 millisievert per year……..

……..average air dose rates exceeded 0.23 microsievert per hour at 27 of the 43 sites…..”

Speaking of Fukushima Daiichi.  The past week has been a comedy of errors, of course blamed on the throwaway workers.  Unfortunately it’s not funny because it resulted in more highly contaminated water being spilled.

First their experimental ALPS water filtration system shut down again, this time one of the highly expensive ceramic filters actually broke, and they don’t know how.  It was as if something hard hit the filter and chipped off some of the ceramic.

In another case, somehow 200 metric tons of contaminated water was pumped into a building that wasn’t even meant to hold water!  The basement was flooded before anybody knew what was going on.  TEPCo claims they’ve pumped out all the water and sent it to the correct storage area.  TEPCo claims pumps that were not supposed to be in use were for some reason turned on.  This has happened before and I’ve speculated sabotage, or a false flag op.

Then another problem with ALPS. 1-thousand liters of water used for washing the system was somehow leaked and flooded the ALPS building.  The water is contaminated with 3.8-million becquerels of  strontium and 6,700 becquerels of cesium 137!  No explanation for the leak.

Of course TEPCo blames everything on its contracted throwaway workers.

In New Mexico, U.S.A., “independent” investigators claim the reservoir water around the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant is safe.

Are you wondering why nothing is being reported on the investigation into the shut down WIPP?  One scientist says those dumb ass nuke experts are clueless, that’s why: “The fundamental point is there is no example in the world of a radiologically contaminated underground salt mine. They really do have to make it up as they go…..”-Don Hancock, Nuclear Waste Safety Program with nonprofit Southwest Research and Information Center

More Fukushima/Nuke industry Fallout: New record high contaminated 100 tons Fukushima leak caused by sabotage? New Post Disaster Illness! U.S. whistleblowers fired over new Hanford disaster! New radiation leak at WIPP! NASA says women are radiation sponges!

20 February 2014 (01:22 UTC-07 Tango)/19 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/01 Esfand 1392/21 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

TEPCo made conflicting statements Wednesday night.  First they reported a 100 metric tons leak of highly contaminated water from a storage tank.  Officials said it leaked from a seam, and was already repaired.  Then later Tokyo Electric Power Company revealed that once again their poorly trained throwaway workers had overfilled a storage tank, the true cause of the leak.  The leak caused by inadequately trained subcontractors resulted in yet another record level of strontium-90 being flooded into the groundwater: At least 230-million becquerels per liter!  9300 becquerels per liter of cesium-137 also leaked.

Then, after further investigations it was discovered that valves on the water tank, that should have been closed, had been opened.  TEPCo also stated that an overflow alarm had gone off, but the cheap throwaway workers who responded to the alarm reported nothing was wrong!  It was six hours later before the massive leak was stopped!  Can you say, sabotage?

Also, TEPCo claims that throwaway workers shorted out one of two thermometers monitoring temp levels in reactor Unit 2, Fukushima Daiichi. Can you say, sabotage?

The Fukushima Prefectural Federation of Fisheries Co-operative Associations is taking upon themselves to start a new radiation monitoring website.  It will publish radiation results from local fish catches.

Fukushima Prefecture is holding off on efforts to build new housing for nuclear refugees who are still living in forced evacuation shelters elsewhere.  Officials put up for bid a 16 unit apartment contract in the city of Aizuwakamatsu, and even though eight contractors expressed interest, none of them bid!  A similar thing happened back in August, when the city of Koriyama asked for bids on a 20 unit complex, twice, and no contractors bid!  This comes as the Japanese Ministry of Health released results of a study on tsunami/nuclear refugees who are still not allowed to return to their homes.  The study found that the stress of being forced to live in evacuation shelters is actually killing people (this syndrome is being called Post Disaster Illness)!  Specifically, the study found that nuclear refugees from Fukushima Prefecture are suffering the most.  More Fukushima residents have died since the March 2011 disasters, than during the initial earthquake/tsunami!  1656 deaths in Fukushima Prefecture are being blamed directly on Post Disaster Illness!

Japanese and U.S. scientists are conducting a study of cows in Fukushima Prefecture.  They want to see if radiation contamination will show up in the cows’ DNA samples.

In a new report, researcher Kyle Cleveland concluded that U.S. personnel involved in Operation Tomodachi were exposed to radiation levels at least 30 times “normal” levels.

A new radiation leak has been detected at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, New Mexico.  This follows several radiological emergencies at WIPP.  This latest emergency involves an external airborne contamination alarm going off.  The Carlsbad Environmental Monitoring and Research Center detected trace amounts of plutonium and americium outside the nuke waste facility, for the first time in WIPP’s short history.  Scientists are checking filters on the detectors.

A second whistleblower at the infamous Hanford nuke site, in the U.S. state of Washington, has been fired for revealing new problems.  Government taxsucker, URS Corporation, fired Donna Busche.  She reported a coverup of construction safety issues at the new $12.3-billion Bechtel-URS nuke waste vitrification plant, more than a year ago.

Busche went through all the federal government whistleblower protect hoops, to try and protect her job, but it was for naught.  A politician from Oregon says this proves federal whistleblower protection laws are a joke: “Today’s decision to fire yet another Hanford whistleblower shows that nothing has changed at the Energy Department when it comes to stifling dissent.”-Ron Wyden, U.S. Senator for Oregon

In October 2013, URS fired Walter Tamosaitis.  He was research and technology manager at the new Hanford vitrification plant.  He warned of safety violations concerning the construction of the nuke waste facility back in 2010!

The European Space Agency (ESA) is studying why women are more susceptible to radiation, and what can be done to prevent it.  The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has long known that women accumulate at least double the radiation contamination in outer space, than men.  This is the real reason why a human trip to Mars is not practical.  Now realize that women on Earth are subjected to many medical procedures involving radiation, like cancer detection and treatments, and no wonder cancer rates just keep going up.

More Fukushima Fallout: Hawaiians fearful! Record levels of Cesium found in new test well! Medical personnel flee! New survey says people don’t trust main stream news reports! IAEA wants to dump more radiation into the Ocean!

13 February 2014 (12:35 UTC-07 Tango)/12 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/24 Bahman 1392/14 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

The UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) wants TEPCo to conduct “controlled discharges” of radiation (including tritium) into the Pacific Ocean: “The IAEA team believes it is necessary to find a sustainable solution to the problem of managing contaminated water….”-IAEA International Peer Review Mission On Mid-And-Long-Term Roadmap Towards The Decommissioning Of TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Units 1-4 (Second Mission)

Tokyo Electric Power Company has revealed that a new groundwater test well is full of record levels of cesium 137 and 134.  The new well was dug near Fukushima Daiichi’s reactor Unit 2.

TEPCo detected 54-thousand becquerels per liter of cesium 137 and 22-thousand Bq per liter of cesium 134 in the groundwater.  They still don’t know where it’s coming from.  This week’s water c-137 samples are 30-thousand times higher than samples taken last week, at a different well.

The announcement came just a couple of days after Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority criticized TEPCo for hiding data on massive amounts of strontium 90 contamination.  The NRA officials said TEPCo detected the record levels of strontium 90 last September, but waited until five days ago to publicize it.  TEPCo had originally claimed they delayed publicizing the record levels of contamination because they believed their detection equipment was faulty.  (and if you’ve read all my Fukushima articles you’ll know they’ve used that excuse before)

A hospital in Fukushima Prefecture is asking for help, as many nurses refused to return to work after the March 2011 nuclear explosions.   Hirono Town Hospital officials held a recruiting event in Tokyo to try an convince nurses there to work in the nuclear disaster area.  Officials said that before the nuke disasters they had 33 nurses.  For awhile after they had only five nurses, but that number is now up to 20 nurses.  They say it’s still not enough for them to take on new patients.  The recruiting efforts include letting prospective nurses serve on ‘tours of duty’ in Hirono Town.  So far 20 nurses have served on the tours of duty, but only six have decided to stay on permanently.

The Fukushima International Association released the results of their study on foreign nationals living in the prefecture.  Most evacuated after the nuclear disasters began, but many have since returned.  However, only 53 out of 100 foreign nationals knew there was a nuclear power plant in the area prior to the explosions!  Prior to the March 2011 disasters 11190 foreign residents were living in the prefecture, as of June 2013 there were 9489 foreigners.  The number one complaint from foreigners was the lack of trustworthy information from the main stream news media, and government.

Fukushima Governor Sato Yuhei is once again pointing out the incompetence of neo-imperialist national government officials.  It turns out that the national government wants to use three towns, which are currently not adversely affected by the nuke disaster, as nuke waste storage sites.  Sato told the national government that the mayors are complaining that by turning them into nuke waste sites it will destroy their efforts to rebuild their towns.  If you think about it, why not store the nuke waste in the areas that are already highly contaminated?

A new $1-billion USD lawsuit has been filed against TEPCo.  It involves at least 79 USN personnel who took part in Operation Tomodachi, as well as a infant born with genetic problems, a U.S. teenager who was living near the disaster reactors when they blew up, and up to 70-thousand additional U.S. citizens!

‘Elected’ officials in the U.S. state of Hawaii say they are getting swamped with phone calls from people demanding proof that the food in Hawaii is not contaminated with radiation from Fukushima Daiichi!

Fukushima

More Fukushima Fallout: Record 5-Million Bq of Strontium 90 dumped into the Ocean! TEPCo admits they’ve dumbed down radiation levels for the past 3 years! More children with thyroid cancer! Desperate scientists to use Algea to soak up radiation? U.S. scientist admits oceans are already nuked!

08 February 2014 (23:11 UTC-07 Tango 07 February 2014)/07 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/19 Bahman 1392/09 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

Fukushima Prefectural health officials announced eight more children have thyroid cancer.  The number of confirmed thyroid cases have been steadily rising.  Back in August it was reported that 25 children had thyroid cancer, that number is now up to 33, with another 75 suspected as having cancer!  So far 270-thousand people have been examined.  Surprisingly, the prefectural health officials are not willing to blame the ongoing Fukushima Daiichi slow burn melt down!

Fukushima Governor, Sato Yuhei, has flipped the bird at the national government’s nuke waste disposal plan, saying the Prefecture will handle its own nuclear waste storage.  Sato has repeatedly made statements indicating the national government, and Tokyo Electric, are incompetent.  The governor is meeting with mayors from eight municipalities to come up with their own storage plan.

Tokyo Electric Power Company has revealed that they been dumbing down reported radiation levels for the past three years!  They blame it on “malfunctions of analytical equipment” that they kept using up until October 2013!

The first correction they’ve made is to readings they took from a test well (near reactor Unit 2’s Pacific Ocean water intake), back in July 2013.  Back then TEPCo said there was 900-thousand becquerels per liter of strontium-90.  Now, supposedly using properly working equipment on the water sample they saved from July, that level has jumped to a record 5-million Bq per liter of strontium-90!

TEPCo also admitted that because they knew their equipment was “malfunctioning” they kept secret the results from 140 radiation water samples taken between June and November 2013!

The national government of Japan (Nippon) is now considering establishing an official Fukushima Daiichi public relations office, to “properly” disseminate updates about the ongoing disaster.

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have been studying the use of algae on radiation.  They say microalgae can absorb 90% of cesium.  Yeah, then what do you do with the radioactive algae?

German scientists say radiation levels outside Fukushima Daiichi perimeter exceed safe levels by 700%!  They blame the contaminated water storage tank farms, saying the strontium-90 in the water is reacting with the metal tanks, actually creating X radiation (X-rays) that easily pass through the metal tanks into the air!

By the way, Japan does not require any of the the “throwaway” contracted nuclear industry workers to be tested for contamination on a regular basis.  It also does not require the contractor and subcontractor companies to do their own radiation monitoring.  Recently a group of Japanese scientist visited Chernobyl, to see how the disaster there is being handled.  They admitted to Japanese news media that they were amazed at the high level of health care that is mandatory for Ukrainians working at the disaster site, because Japan does not even come close to that level of concern for its own people!

Russian officials have already estimated that at least two thousand Japanese “throwaway” workers have been exposed to more than 100 millisieverts of radiation: “If they received the total dose in the course of a year, those people definitely were exposed to excessive radiation above the established norm. They are to remain under the doctor’s observation for the rest of their lives. The mere fact that such levels of radiation energy are registered means that inside a person certain processes have already been set off. And it is impossible to predict when and in what form of disease this will show.”-Maksim Shingarkin, Russian natural resources committee

Canada’s National Institute of Public Health of Quebec, and the Department of Public Health Agency of Health and Social Services of the Gaspésie-Îles -de-la-Madeleine, are monitoring radiation levels in 145 public housing units.  Officially they claim it’s to measure radon.

In the U.S. state of California, UC San Diego researchers have been sending ocean water samples to Timothy Jull, a professor of geosciences and physics at the University of Arizona. Jull says “What we’ve seen so far is a slow increase directly after the Fukushima accident. Now we’re looking for a larger reading, which should happen soon……….all part of building a picture of the disposal of this material over time and how long it takes to get over here.”

Jull added that the info will be of use for “future” nuclear accidents!  He also revealed that nuclear power plants around the world have been dumping radioactive iodine into the oceans for decades, and your government officials know about it: “I guess if we continue to dump large amounts of radioactivity into the ocean that’s not a good thing, but in the short term it’s not. People have known this for a long time and are sort of tracking it.”

Fukushima

More Fukushima Fallout: Japanese media ordered to halt negative nuclear power reports! TEPCo dumps nuke waste on private property! U.S. investigation finds U.S. nuke plants lacking!

31 January 2014 (12:34 UTC-07 Tango)/29 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/11 Bahman 1392/01 Yi-Chou (1st month) 4712 (Happy New Year!)

Residents of Shiga Prefecture have filed a criminal complaint against TEPCo, for illegally dumping nuclear waste! One of those residents is a former professor of environmental toxicology at Kyoto University.  The dumping was carried out by contractors and subcontractors, who wantonly dumped cesium contaminated lumber into a river and even on private property, between March and April 2013!!!

Officials at Fukushima Daiichi say they will try using apatite filters to try an capture the strontium-90 that’s still pouring into the groundwater.  Apatite is used at the Hanford disaster site in Washington, United States.

Japanese officials say Hanford officials told them the apatite filter absorbs 90% of strontium.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission reported to Congress on the results of their investigation into the U.S. nuke industry.  The investigation was spurred by the ongoing Fukushima Daiichi disaster.  The NRC said U.S. nuclear power plants are lacking emergency plans to deal with long term power outages and need to be upgraded to handle natural disasters!

Japan’s NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation) told a longtime radio host to stop making negative comments about nuclear power.  The radio host is also a economics professor at Tokyo University.

Nakakita Toru quit in protest after being told his reports could influence “voting behavior”!

There are a couple of factors here.  One: NHK has a new pro-government/pro-nuke manager.  To give you an idea of how loopy this guy is, Momii Katsuto recently stated that all waring parties (during the Second World War) employed official government paid prostitutes!  Japan was the only country that did so (calling them Comfort Women), and now he has been forced to apologize for his totally ignorant comment.  But he didn’t exactly apologize, he said his comment was his personal opinion, not the official opinion of NHK.

Two: The Japanese government recently created a state-secrets law.  Critics say it targets the news media.  One poll showed that 61% of Japanese consider the state-secrets law “problematic”.

Tokyo Electric Power Company is reporting a record $7.54-billion USD in profits, just for the months of April through December! However, they admit it’s a result of jacking up electricity rates for customers and the massive taxpayer bailout!

Fukushima

More Fukushima Fallout: Children’s Teeth inspected for Strontium! U.S. helicopters check for radiation for NFL Super Bowl, concern over Fukushima or preps for False Flag event in February?

23 January 2014 (00:15 UTC-07 Tango)/21 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/03 Bahman 1392/23 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

The Fukushima Prefecture Dental Association is leading an Environment Ministry study to inspect the teeth of local children, for strontium-90 contamination.  Dentists from other Japanese prefectures will coordinate with the Fukushima Prefecture Dental Association, as well as the University of Fukushima and Tohoku University in Miyagi Prefecture.

Strontium-90 tricks your body into thinking it is calcium, being absorbed into your bones and teeth.  Teeth from kids between the ages of five and 15, who have to have teeth pulled for whatever medical reason, will be examined for cesium.  If cesium is found then further tests for strontium-90 will be conducted.

The study begins in April and runs for 12 months.  They expect to inspect as many as 2-thousand teeth.

Mayors from cities in five prefectures are outraged at the national government’s plans to establish nuclear waste dumps, in order to deal with the never ending build up of nuke waste by Fukushima Daiichi.

The Environment Ministry announced the possible locations, to store sewage sludge, incinerated ash and other waste contaminated with radiation.  But when the Ministry asked the mayors for their cooperation some mayors refused.

Inomata Hirobumi, mayor of Kami Town in Miyagi Prefecture, said the Ministry failed to follow their own rules in picking the waste sites.  One of the rules says the sites should not be near areas that are tourist attractions.  Inomata points out that the waste site picked by the Ministry sees more than 1-million tourists per year!

Sato Isamu, mayor of Kurihara City in the same prefecture, said the Ministry’s waste site just happens to be in the path of the main water source for a city reservoir!

In British Columbia, Canada, there are reports that people are making runs on pharmacies for potassium iodide.   Some pharmacists are lying to their potential customers telling them they need a prescription, when they really don’t.

The reason is that iodide can be bad for you if you take too much.

News reports say some Canadians on the west coast are overreacting to continued and increasing  amounts of radiation pouring into the Pacific Ocean from Fukushima Daiichi, and the comments made by environmentalist David Suzuki: “……if, in fact, the fourth plant goes under in an earthquake and those  rods are exposed, it’s bye-bye Japan and everybody on the West Coast of North America should evacuate.”

Of course, Suzuki was citing the 2013 World Nuclear Industry Status Report.

The U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) in cooperation with New Jersey’s Office of Emergency Management, is using Bell 412 (an evolved version of the old Vietnam era Huey) helicopters to take airborne radiation samples around New York and New Jersey.  This might not be new news, but what is is that the New Jersey State Police revealed that it’s all about this year’s NFL Super Bowl at the Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford.

The Bell 412s (which are not “massive” helicopters as first reported by some sources) are currently flying as low as 46 meters (150 feet), and at 129km per hour (80 miles per hour) to conduct the air sampling.

The Super Bowl takes place on 02 February.  Federal officials have been openly saying the airborne radiation checks are not related to Fukushima, but are about establishing a “baseline” of background radiation just in case of an “event”.

“If sometime in the future you have a reason to be looking for something radiological, it’s very necessary to have the original background.”-Joseph Krol, NNSA

The New Jersey OEM lied and said the sampling was normal: “The measurement of naturally occurring radiation to establish baseline levels is a routine security and emergency preparedness activity. The NJ State Police are partnering with the NNSA to make the public aware of the upcoming flights and insure that citizens who see the low-flying aircraft are not alarmed.”-New Jersey OEM statement

Think about it, if it’s “routine” then why all this effort to inform the public so it is not “alarmed”?

Also, why is it focused on New York/New Jersey and why the hurry to to get it done by 25 January, before the Super Bowl?

Fukushima

More Fukushima Fallout: Reactor 3 containment vessel leaking Strontium!

Officials with Tokyo Electric Power Company say they know where the mystery water leak in reactor Unit 3 is coming from; the containment vessel!

Yesterday TEPCo reported the water leak when a robot clearing radioactive rubble from the building discovered it.

TEPCo also adds that the water is contaminated with 24 million becquerels per liter of strontium-90, and 1.7 million becquerels per liter of cesium-137!

More Fukushima Fallout: Killer nuke waste incinerator to be re-started! Nuke control room computers hacked! 500% increase in radiation in California? Duct tape preferred tool at Fukushima! Support the resistance!

“I am violating the law! But I won’t obey what the government says, because we were betrayed! Our community was destroyed by the nuclear disaster. Instead of slaughtering them, these cattle should be used to study the long-term effects of radiation. Killing them is destroying evidence. I am a cowboy, and cowboys do not abandon their cows! I will stay with them until I die!”-Yoshizawa Masami, Fukushima Nuclear Resistance (for more read below)

A former nuclear waste incinerator is being allowed to go back into operation, even though it was shutdown for killing two employees and contaminating 600 others!

In 1999 JCO, a subsidiary of Sumitomo Metal Mining, was shutdown after a disaster at its nuke incinerator in Tokai Village, Ibaraki Prefecture.  However, due to the overwhelming volume of accumulated nuclear waste, from the ongoing nuke disaster at Fukushima Daiichi, JCO is being allowed to re-start their low-level nuclear waste incinerator.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency discovered that one of its computers at the Monju fast-breeder reactor, on the coast off the Sea of Japan, was illegally accessed!

The JAEA says the computer was hacked at least 30 times.  Officials claim they traced the hack to U.S. puppet South Korea! The computer was used to store office emails and employee training records.  They discovered the hacks while updating the software.

Remember that California video I wrote about, at the end of December? Other people have been conducting their own radiation sampling, some saying their  record keeping shows a 500% increase in radiation levels on the California coast!

The video actually caught the attention of county officials, who promptly poo-pooed the claims: “It’s not something that we feel is an immediate public health concern…”-Dean Peterson, San Mateo County

The so called county ‘expert’ went on to say that what is really happening is an increase in ‘background’ radiation!   Hello, dummy, that still means radiation is increasing!

So what has Tokyo Electric Power Company slave wage throwaway workers been using to repair the leaking contaminated water storage tanks?  According to worker interviews published by Asahi Shimbun, duct tape and chicken wire!

TEPCo has announced it will begin its plan to freeze the ground around the GE designed disaster reactors. In late December TEPCo revealed that radiation leaks containing strontium 90 were increasing from Reactor Unit 1.  Radiation leaks from Reactor Unit 2 have been increasing since November 2013.  Whatever happened to TEPCo’s plan to build an iron wall around Fukushima Daiichi, announced back in September 2011?

The leader of the Fukushima Nuclear Resistance, Yoshizawa Masami, is fighting government orders to have his cattle slaughtered.  His adult cows are showing strange signs, like white spots/speckles developing on their brown skin.

Yoshizawa’s farm is only 14km (8.6 miles) from Fukushima Daiichi.  He insists the cows should live, to be studied by scientists and be an example of the evils of nuclear power.

Reports say scientists are beginning to descended upon Yoshizawa’s farm to study what is happening to his cows.  The cows are confirmed to be contaminated with cesium. The government also wants Yoshizawa to vacate his land. Is there something the government wants to hide?  See ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) report.
