    Default Fukushima is falling apart: are you ready?

    Fukushima is falling apart: are you ready?
    By Christina Consolo

    Contributing writer for End the Lie and host of Nuked Radio


    Investigators visiting the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in May 2011 Thirteen months have passed since the Fukushima reactors exploded, and a U.S. Senator finally got off his ass and went to Japan to see what is going on over there.

    What he saw was horrific.

    And now he is saying that we are in big trouble.

    But what is so ironic about this is that we have been in this heap of trouble since March of 2011. March 17th, to be exact, when the plume of radioactive materials began bombarding the west coast of California.

    And Oregon. And Washington. And British Columbia. And later Maine, Europe, and everywhere in between.

    Independent researchers, nuke experts, and scientists, from oceanography to entomology and everywhere in between, having been trying to sound the alarm ever since.

    The scientists most upset are those who have studied the effects of radiation on health. I’ll say it again, so its really clear: we are in big trouble.

    The most preliminary reports of soil contamination are starting to come in from the USGS, who has seemed reluctant to share this information. Los Angeles, California, Portland, Oregon, and Boulder, Colorado, so far have the highest radioactive particle contamination out of the entire US.

    That being said, every single city tested across the country showed contamination from Fukushima. What is even more alarming, however, about the numbers coming in, is that they are from samples taken April 5th, of last year.

    The Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO, has only recently confirmed that there were three meltdowns, and they have been ongoing, unabated, for thirteen months, and no effort has been made to contain them.

    Technology has to be developed/invented to deal with the melted out corium under the reactors. Until then, they will keep doing what they have been doing.

    TEPCO just keeps dumping water on them, after which they let it pour into the ocean, and steam up through the ground, every second of every day. The jet stream, and a highly dynamic portion of our atmosphere called the troposphere, have been swirling around massive amounts of radioactive particles and settling them out, mostly in rain, over the entire northern hemisphere, especially the west coast of North America, from Alaska down to Baja and even further.

    Iodine, cesium, strontium, plutonium, uranium, and a host of other fission products have been coming directly from Japan to the west coast for thirteen months.

    Maybe you have heard about sick seals, polar bears, tainted fish, mutations in dandelions and fruits and vegetables, possibly even animals already, and seaweed. In fact the kelp from Corona del Mar contained 40,000,000 bcq/kg of radioactive iodine, as reported in Scientific American several weeks ago.

    If you don’t know your becquerels, its a lot. That’s what your pacific fish feed on. And that was only ONE isotope reported. There were up to 1600 different isotopes that have been floating around in our air, pouring out of the reactors, and steaming out of the ground, every second of every day, for 13 months.

    And there has been silence from our mainstream media, for which the depths of depravity are so severe I will devote an entire article just to the “why” at a future time.

    But back to the research: reports in the past week indicate the pollen in southern California is radioactive now too, and it is flying around, and if you live there and go outside, you are breathing it in. And so are your children.

    Along with fission products blowing over from Japan. And radiation in your drinking water. And in your rain. And in the fish you are eating. And your vegetables. And the milk supply. And its happening every second, of every day. For 13 months. Are you starting to see a problem here?

    Problem is, that’s not even the biggest problem. The biggest problem is what Senator Wyden is all bent out of shape about, even though independent researchers and nuke experts have been warning about this for a year.

    And that is that the Reactor #4 building is on the verge of collapsing. Seismicity standards rate the building at a zero, meaning even a small earthquake could send it into a heap of rubble. And sitting at the top of the building, in a pool that is cracked, leaking, and precarious even without an earthquake, are 1565 fuel rods (give or take a few), some of them “fresh fuel” that was ready to go into the reactor on the morning of March 11th when the earthquake and tsunami hit.

    If they are MOX fuel, containing 6% plutonium, one fuel rod has the potential to kill 2.89 billion people. If this pool collapses, as Senator Wyden is now saying too, we would face a mass extinction event from the release of radiation in those rods.

    That is, if we aren’t in one already. Nuke experts like Arnie Gundersen and Helen Caldicott are prepared to evacuate their families to the southern hemisphere if that happens. It is that serious.

    So now you know, if you didn’t before. We are in big trouble.

    Get informed. Start paying attention to this. Every single statement in this article is verifiable, and I will continue to verify and validate the seriousness of this situation at every opportunity I have.

    This may be the most important thing you ever pay attention to, for the sake of your family, friends, your neighbors, every one you know and meet, all of humanity.

    It’s been thirteen months, you have some catching up to do.

    The senator's report is not good news for the West Coast. He points out that one more big earthquake could cause a radioactive disaster for that part of the United States.

    This exact article/report was posted and discussed in another thread a couple weeks ago.

    And as I pointed out in that thread 40,000,000 Bq is equal to about 1.08 mCi.
    That is not a lot of radiation. It's about 2% of the typical dose for a cardiac imaging
    study. To be avoided if possible but certainly not enough to cause any health issues
    other than the theoretical/statistical increased risk of future cancer.

    Default Not the west coast

    per se....just everything downwind of that. The west coast is already being irradiated .... by Fukushima. Obviously, if you got Santa Anna winds, that would take the radiation out to sea. If you got normal winds, then the radiation from damaged California reactors would take it eastward, and possibly northward.

    The comic stupidity of self annihilation by playing nuclear non-Russian roulette after the Russians demonstrated the danger of nuclear Russian roulette is mind boggling. Gee, I will build a nuclear power plant near a fault, which is ready to release any time, and I will build that plant in such a way that if a massive earthquake occurs, then the result will be a measurable chance of long term contamination of much of my country. That sounds smart, doesn't it?

    Meanwhile, FEMA is off doing things that don't need to be done (and things that probably shouldn't be done). But making sure that our nuclear power plants are not the most serious threat we face, why that is just not worth its time and energy, don't ya' know.....I just wish that DC (Warshington, that is) were getting the high readings from Fukushima radiation. Then, by golly, things would have to get done, and boy like right now. Perhaps someone could get the POTUS to enjoy the skiing at Vail. Once those Secret Service Nuke Alerts started chirping, then we'd have some action on this. Until then, it's headline news about box office sales of a comic strip movie, bread and circuses to busy us minions with.

    Default Fukushima reactor No. 4 vulnerable to catastrophic collapse

    Just read this a few minutes ago...

    Fukushima reactor No. 4 vulnerable to catastrophic collapse; could unleash 85 times Cesium-137 radiation of Chernobyl; human civilization on the brink

    (NaturalNews) The news you are about to read puts everything else in the category of "insignificant" by comparison. Concerned about the 2012 U.S. presidential election? Worried about GMOs? Fluoride? Vaccines? Secret prisons? None of that even matters if we don't solve the problem of Fukushima reactor No. 4, which is on the verge of a catastrophic failure that could unleash enough radiation to end human civilization on our planet. (See the numbers below.)

    The resulting releasing of radiation would turn North America into a "dead zone" for humans... mutated (and failed) crops, radioactive groundwater, skyrocketing infant mortality, an explosion in cancer and infertility... this is what could be unleashed at any moment from an earthquake in Japan. Such an event could result in the release of 85 times the Cesium-137 released by the Chernobyl catastrophe, say experts (see below). And the Chernobyl catastrophe made its surrounding regions uninhabitable by humans for centuries.

    Yet, astonishingly, the usual suspects of deception are saying absolutely nothing about this problem. The mainstream media (the dying dinosaur media, actually) pretends there's no problem with Fukushima. President Obama says nothing about it. Federal regulators, including the NRC, are all but silent. It's as if they think their silence on the issue somehow makes it go away.

    Perhaps these professional liars in the media and government have become so used to idea that they can simply spin their own reality (and get the public suckers to believe almost anything) that they now believe they can ignore the laws of physics. That's why they have refused to cover the low-level radiation plume that continues to be emitted from Fukushima.

    The fate of the world now rests on reactor No. 4
    "It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of Japan and the whole world depends on No.4 reactor." - Mitsuhei Murata, Former Japanese Ambassador to Switzerland and Senegal, Executive Director, the Japan Society for Global System and Ethics

    Mr. Murata's stunning statement should be front-page news everywhere around the world. Why? Because he's right. If reactor No. 4 suffers even a minor earthquake, it could set off a chain reaction of events that quickly lead to North America becoming uninhabitable by humans for centuries to come. Imagine California, Oregon and Washington states being inundated with radiation -- up to 85 times the radiation release from Chernobyl. We're talking about the end of human life on the scale of continents…

    I don't think you were reading this correctly.
    I would affect the entire world, not just the west coast.

    Why does everyone fixate upon the west coast?!

    It is already being dumped upon Tenn and other parts east FYI.

    Probably to keep the panic down to a minimum...
    It goes like this : "Poor folks in California. Glade I dont live there.."
    Proverbs 29:2, "...when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn."

    Acts 4:12
    ,
    "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

    Hebrews 13:8
    , "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."

    Revelation 3:11, "Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."

    Matthew 28:20, "...I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

    I really, really, really hope you’re right, and all these folks are wrong, really!

    Just sayin’…

    I'm not saying Fukushima isn't a problem and that it doesn't pose a risk.
    I'm saying that it has not, cannot and never will be a disaster of such a
    magnitude that it will end life as we know it. It's been 14 months since
    the EQ and to date there are no reported fatalities from the reactor problem.
    A boatload of problems for sure and a real increase in the amount of radiation
    that has entered the oceanic environement....but nothing that poses an
    immediate and direct threat to human life. The threat is real but it is a
    statistical and future threat that will come in the form of an increase in
    the numbers of people who get cancer. That's why my recommendations
    are and continue to be to avoid products from the sea and to if possible
    monitor your food. Ingestion of radioactive contaminants via food is the
    only real viable threat that those in the US face.

    Most of these posts are hysterical chicken little rantings that do nothing but
    scare people for no reason. You are at many thousands of times greater
    risk of dying by driving across town than you are from the risks posed by
    Fukushima.
