Cars coming out of Japan are still radioactive, according to government officials in Russia and the Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan.
This year Kyrgyzstan has impounded at least 70 cars from Japan, for being radioactive. Russia has impounded 132 Japanese cars at the port of Vladivostok, since January this year!
Officials in Kyrgyzstan say Japan has refused to take back the contaminated cars.
In Japan, it’s been revealed that in August 2013 the ongoing nuclear disaster at the GE designed Fukushima Daiichi contaminated at least 14 rice fields outside the 20km (12.4 miles) evacuation zone!
An investigation by the Agriculture Ministry discovered the unreported contamination. It happened when Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) removed a large section of the building housing damaged reactor Unit 3. The rice fields were hit with danger levels of cesium. Not only did the action spread radiation to rice fields outside the evacuation zone, but to five other sites in Minami-Soma City.
But here’s the kicker, the government investigation report was finalized in March but kept secret from the public! Only now is it being reported to the public, thanks to investigative reporters at the Asahi Shimbun. This news has problematic implications for TEPCo, as it shows that the attempts to clear away damaged structures at Fukushima Daiichi is actually spreading more radiation contamination.
Researchers in the U.S. and Germany discovered the highest levels of UV radiation ever to hit the Earth! The Liberty Voice reported “The UV fluxes were recorded 1,500 miles from the equator in the Bolivian Andes near small villages and towns. The radiation levels are far above the ones that are often considered dangerous for terrestrial and aquatic life.
…..In December of 2003, they found that ultraviolet radiation levels were indexed at 43.3……a UV index of eight or nine….is intense enough to authorize protection. A UV index of 11 is usually considered extreme.”
In Colorado U.S.A., a dump truck driver pulled over and called for help when he was notified he was hauling a load of radioactive material! His load consisted of old water pipes. The North Metro Fire department responded and determined the radiation levels were within safe limits.
In California U.S.A., a U.S. Navy investigation has confirmed radiation contamination under about 300 homes built on the former grounds of the Treasure Island naval base. However, San Francisco officials are trying to claim the levels are still within safe limits. A lot of property development and REIT money is tied up in the Treasure island housing project. The USN is investigating radiation contamination that could affect 1100 homes!
In Berkeley, city officials are trying to do what San Francisco officials failed to do: Put cancer warning labels on cell phones. The decision will be made in September. Of course the cell phone industry has already sent a warning letter to the city officials.
At University of California Riverside somebody attacked other students with radioactive Phosphorous 32 (used in medical testing, fertilizers and glow in the dark stuff). The attack happened in April, and was part of a series of massive vandalism that hit the genomics building. A student discovered the radiation contamination while using a geiger counter during a routine check: “Based on all of the suspicious incidents in the lab, I believe someone was trying to deliberately sabotage the research of the lab. Furthermore, I believe that someone deliberately exposed lab employees to radiation with the intent to cause them serious physical harm.”-Tricia Harding, UC Riverside police
Engineers at Oregon State University claim they have developed a small hand held radiation detector, that can tell you what type of isotope you’re dealing with and the intensity. They claim that once mass production begins you should be able to buy it for about $150 USD.
In New Mexico U.S.A., the U.S. Department of Energy is still trying to figure out how to get evidence of what happened inside the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. That’s because radiation levels are too high to allow humans to remain long enough to get good photographic evidence and a decent amount of small samples!
They tried to use a 27.4 meters (90 feet) long boom, but it wasn’t enough. The latest plan is to link scaffolding together. Obviously what happened at WIPP was bigger than what we’ve been told!
