“The rate at which children in Fukushima prefecture have developed thyroid cancer can be called frequent, because it is several times to several tens of times higher.”-Tsuda Toshihide, Okayama University

It has been revealed that 59 people living in Fukushima Prefecture have thyroid cancer.  They were all younger than 18 years of age when the nuke disaster began in 2011.  Compare that to medical records that show between 1975 to 2008 the average yearly thyroid cancer rate, for all of Japan, was 11 in every one million Japanese!

Children and young adults in their early 20s, and pregnant women, are Canaries In The Coal Mine when it comes to radiation contamination, because growing bodies absorb more radiation than people who are no longer growing: “It is known that radioactive iodine is linked to thyroid cancer. Through the intake of food, people may absorb and accumulate it inside glands.”-Choi Kin, former president of the Hong Kong Medical Association

Radiation caused cancer rates are probably much higher in Japan.  Arnold Gunderson, a former nuclear industry executive and engineer with more than 30 years of experience, told KBOO radio in Oregon, U.S.A., that Japanese doctors are being ordered not to declare any unusual illnesses as being related to radiation: “We’re seeing Japanese doctors not being able to tell their patients that the illnesses they’re experiencing are radiation induced….”  

Japan’s Environment Ministry has blasted Tokyo Electric Power Company for dragging out the nuclear disaster of Fukushima Daiichi, for three years now.  Specifically they are referring to the decontamination of contaminated areas and towns around the GE designed disaster reactors.  It was promised they would be cleaned up by March 2014, but it’s painfully clear that’s not going to happen.

The main problem remains the fact that Japan does not have sufficient nuclear waste storage sites, due to the fact that political and corporate officials in Japan thought anything like this couldn’t happen.  But, even the U.S. is not prepared for a similar situation: “Even for the U.S. nuclear industry, such a cleanup and decommissioning would be a great challenge.”-Akira Tokuhiro, Professor of nuke engineering with University of Idaho, U.S.A., at their Idaho Falls Center

Another problem is continued high level radiation emissions from  Fukushima Daiichi.

Within the past day, TEPCo workers recorded record levels of beta type radiation coming from Reactor 2; 1.9 million becquerels per liter!  Since November, Reactor 2 has been emitting higher and higher levels of deadly beta radiation.

On top of that, TEPCo admits radiation in the air is so high that when it rains it floods the ground with contamination.  Today they discovered that one of the concrete liners/barriers, under one of several nuke waste water storage tank farms, is leaking contaminated rain water.  They believe the joins in the concrete liner have eroded, the water pouring out is not from any of the tanks, but from rain water that gets contaminated as it falls and collects in the liner/barrier.  How contaminated?  Throwaway workers say they detected 93 becquerels per liter of strontium 90 in the rain water that is still in the barrier.

International researchers are now desperately warning of massive global radiation contamination, because of Fukushima Daiichi.

“Fukushima Daiichi has been allowed to get out of control……The amount of radiation that went into the Pacific from largely French [nuke weapons] tests, but also American tests, is smaller than what is going into the Pacific now from Fukushima Daiichi…….Fukushima Daiichi’s plume that’s heading towards the west coast of the United States is about 10 times more radiation in that wave, as it comes toward the west coast of the United States, than what we had already done from bomb testing.”-Arnold Gunderson, former nuclear industry executive and engineer interviewed on KBOO radio in Oregon, U.S.A., on 08 November 2013

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, U.S.A., has published a graphic which shows the radiation coming from Fukushima Daiichi is far higher than any of the man made radiation created by the nuke weapons testing in the 1960s, and the 1989 Chernobyl disaster combined!

The U.S. government conducted airborne radiation sampling off the west coast of the U.S., in 2012, but has refused to publish the results claiming national security issues!
