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: INL violates own rules! British airliners made with radioactive chemicals! More Fukushima bullshit! Unit 4 explodes? WIPP truck caught fire due to high intensity heat!

27 May 2014 (19:19 UTC-07 Tango 26 May 2014)/27 Rajab 1435/06 Khordad 1393/29 Ji-Si 4712

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) revealing that British Aerospace (BAe) built 146 airliners are being made with highly toxic and even radioactive chemicals!

The ATSB reports that large numbers of airline employees are developing brain and breast cancers, as well as Parkinson’s.  One Quantas pilot had to be evacuated from the plane after collapsing from aerotoxic syndrome.  Passengers have never been told about the contamination, until now.

In the past five years Quantas airlines’ BAe 146 aircraft had to undergo 1-thousand “fume extractions”.  Compare that to Quantas Boeing 767s which underwent only 123 fume extractions.

Ducks in a row. BAe 146-200s and the old Convair CV580, at Pocatello airport during Idaho's  2012 wildfire outbreaks.

In Idaho, U.S.A., yet another former employee has blown the whistle on something that has been a continuous problem at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), despite which contractor is running the nuclear facility:  Failure to follow their own rules.

INL eastern entrance, in a remote area of eastern Idaho.  INL has direct connections to WIPP.

INL eastern entrance, in a remote area of eastern Idaho. INL has direct connections to WIPP.

Dennis Patterson worked at the INL for 30 years (during that time the facility’s official name changed several times) and learned of the failures of the site’s managers when he investigated complaints from contracted workers.  When he tried to correct the wrongs of his superiors “…that’s when the trouble began.  I became the bad guy. They came after me, repeatedly.”

He has written a book:  Department of Energy Whislteblower: Justice over Racial Discrimination and Ethics Violations in a Right to Work State

And the INL is one of at least three U.S. Department of Defense nuclear sites that send waste to New Mexico’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).

It’s been revealed that the WIPP salt truck fire, which took place a week before the LANL mixed waste drum explosion (explosions?), was caused due to the truck carrying combustible oils, then coming into contact with intense heat igniting the oil.

State officials are now demanding the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) permanently seal up two nuke waste storage rooms (panels) in WIPP.  The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) even called for an “expedited closure”.

The NMED says that daily data reports from WIPP show that the explosion actually affected two panels, not one as originally reported. And the data on contamination levels are getting worse, and the DoE’s actions are insufficient, so they want panels 6 and 7 sealed up: “…those panels need be closed immediately!”-Ryan Flynn, New Mexico’s Environment Secretary

In Japan, more revelations about the BS covering up how bad Fukushima Daiichi is.

Despite what was officially reported back in 2011, that Fukushima Daiichi employees remained at their posts during the beginning stages of the melt downs, it’s been revealed that 90% of the contracted throwaway workers fled for their lives!  That included top managers! Basically the nuclear plant was virtually abandoned for at least four days, only 10% of employees remained!  (I watched events live on NHK, and I was wondering why it looked like nothing was being done, for at least a week after the earthquake and tsunami)

This is why Yoshida Masao, boss of the nuclear plant at the time, ordered employees to stand their ground.  Months later Masao suffered a sudden and mysterious onset of cancer, he died last year.  Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) denies Masao got cancer as a result of exposing himself to radiation in an attempt to control the situation.

The Asahi Shimbun got a hold of a 400 page document in which Masao describes the abandonment of the Fukushima Daiichi.

The Japanese government continues to renege on its promise to make public 772 interviews of workers at Fukushima Daiichi.  The current neo-imperialist government now says they will only release those interviews if all those who were interviewed consent to their testimonies being made public!

On 20 May 2014, somebody posted dark grainy video to the internet, claiming that it showed a fire or explosion at Fukushima Daiichi’s GE designed reactor Unit 4.  The video is too washed out to be conclusive, and there has been no comment from TEPCo or neo-imperialist government officials.

‘Green’ cat litter caused WIPP explosion?

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation fallout: ‘Green’ cat litter caused WIPP explosion? Idaho involved? Is new False Flag Japan nuke op in the works? Wild food crops contaminated, banned from sale!

“I’m just dying to know why this happened and who approved it, because it was a dumb idea!”-Jim Conca, former WIPP employee

Investigators have discovered what might have created the chemical reaction explosion that “disturbed” one ton ballast/containment bags in New Mexico’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP): organic kitty litter.   This is one time that going ‘green’ was the wrong thing to do.   However, it also reveals violations of federal laws!

According to a former WIPP scientist, Jim Conca, it looks like sometime after 2010 the inert clay type cat litter (absorbent) normally used was switched to organic cat litter.  The problem is that the ‘organic’ cat litter is made from things like wheat, corn, paper, sawdust, and reacted with fumes coming from the 55 gallon mixed waste drums.

It turns out that kitty litter was being used to absorb and cover-up any liquid waste, because it is illegal for any liquid waste to be stored at WIPP!!!  This also suggests officials knew the drums contained liquid waste.  The fumes from the liquid waste escaped and mixed with the active organic kitty litter, possibly causing the “chemical reaction”.

Investigators also found melted metal and rubber in the Panel 7 area.  Plutonium is one of the isotopes that was leaked into the air.   WIPP accepts nuke waste from three sources: Los Alamos, Idaho National Laboratory and Savannah River.  Investigators said they think they know who sent the illegal waste, but refused to name names.

Researchers in the United States claim they’ve discovered a drug that could prevent radiation poisoning.   It involves a drug being tested for treatment of blood aliments.  Doctors hope to use the drug on people undergoing radiation treatments.  But wait, don’t get too excited.  Turns out the drug only seems to prevent radiation absorption within the first 24 hours of exposure.

Speaking of drugs to prevent radiation contamination.  In Japan the national government suddenly became concerned about the stockpile of iodide pills in Niigata Prefecture.  Please note that news media continue to incorrectly call them iodine pills.

Niigata Prefecture is home to Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear power plant, which is run by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo, yep the same ones who run Fukushima Daiichi).  Inspectors discovered that prefectural officials still haven’t stockpiled the required 1.3 million iodide pills, that were part of a national government order back in January of this Gregorian year!

It’s not just Niigata, 23 other prefectures are being investigated for compliance with the January iodide order!

Fukushima Prefecture has banned seven wild food crops from being harvested or sold, due to high levels of contamination!  A total of 16 varieties of wild crops are contaminated!

Many wild plants are regular food sources in Japan, but now, three years after the Fukushima nuke disasters, at least three types of wild crops are totally soaked in radiation: 700 becquerels in fiddleheads, 430 becquerels in bracken and 460 becquerels in Japanese spikenard!

The official Japanese government safe limit is only 100 Bq per kilogram of radiation.

Fukushima government officials say most of the radiation contamination is in the forests to the west of Fukushima Daiichi.  This is a dilemma, because the predominant winds are to the east or north, into the Pacific Ocean.  So why do high levels of radiation continue to show up to the west of the melted out nuke plant?

Also, independent testing shows that the groundwater that flows under Fukushima Daiichi, from the west, is already contaminated despite what TEPCo says.  I’ve postulated before that whatever is contaminating the mountains is contaminating the groundwater, before it hits the nuke plant.

Japan’s Environment Ministry says 16 municipalities have failed to meet decontamination deadlines.  The main reason is that radiation contamination was much worse than originally reported!

New Mexico compromised! 

Japan told people to take Iodide back on March 16

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation fallout: New Mexico compromised! More lies revealed at Fukushima! Increasing cancer rates in Massachusetts?

11 May 2014 (00:47 UTC-07 Tango)/11 Rajab 1435/21 Ordibehesht 1393/13 Ji-Si 4712
“The scientific research base shows that there is no threshold of exposure below which low levels of ionizing radiation can be demonstrated to be harmless or beneficial.  The health risks – particularly the development of solid cancers in organs, rise proportionally with exposure.  At low doses of radiation, the risk of inducing solid cancers is very small.  As the overall lifetime exposure increases, so does the risk.”-Richard R. Monson, Harvard School of Public Health

“A preponderance of scientific evidence shows that even low doses of ionizing radiation, such as gamma rays and X-rays, are likely to pose some risk of adverse health effects….”-National Academy of Sciences, 2005 press release

In Massachusetts, U.S.A., near the Pilgrim Nuclear Generating Station the Massachusetts Cancer Registry confirms dense levels of cancer. Between 2002 and 2009 there was a 95% chance of developing leukemia, if you lived in the towns of Carver, Duxbury, Kingston, Marshfield, Pembroke, Plymouth, and Plympton.

The Registry also revealed the majority of cancer cases in the Bay State can be found in the above mentioned seven towns, which reside in the shadow of the Pilgrim Nuclear facility.  Contamination has been a problem for awhile now. A 1982 survey showed cesium-137 levels in local milk was 1-million times higher than expected!  The nuclear power plant operator blamed it on Chinese nuclear bomb tests on the other side of the world.

The Pilgrim Nuclear Generating Station was designed by GE (General Electric) and built by Bechtel.  It uses boiling water reactors (BWR) similar to those used at Fukushima Daiichi.

In Missouri, U.S.A., after residents paid for their own radiological testing of soil around a landfill containing nuclear waste, the U.S. EPA is now going to conduct their own testing.

The Boston Chemical Data Group says soil samples showed the Bridgeton Athletic Complex, and a nearby ditch, are highly contaminated.  The laboratory also warned that nobody should use the park until the EPA gets involved.  The EPA and the nut-less city of Bridgeton (which has repeatedly told concerned residents to blow off) will conduct testing on 19 May.

In New Mexico, U.S.A., the state’s Environment Department Secretary, Ryan Flynn, is calling for the total shutdown of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).  Flynn made the statement after Jim Blankenhorn, the Nuclear Waste Partnership Recovery Manager, said WIPP will be closed for at least three years.  Flynn says so far the federal investigators are making their claims based on pure guess work, kind of like what’s been happening in Japan: “We need to know what happened. We absolutely need to know. But we need to make decisions based on facts!”

In Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, yet another study that says Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) is flat lying about radiation contamination levels!  Fukushima University’s Institute of Environmental Radioactivity reporting that actual cesium-137 levels are at least 50% higher than what TEPCo has reported!

Last week the TEPCo’s manager of the clean up at Fukushima Daiichi, Ono Akira, revealed that all efforts to stop ongoing contaminated water leaks have failed: “It’s embarrassing to admit, but there are certain parts of the site where we don’t have full control.”

3-thousand people dead & dying

Fukushima evacuations false flag op to destroy families?

FUKUSHIMA “MELT-OUTS”, IT ONLY GETS WORSE!

More Fukushima Fallout: Confirmed, 3-thousand people dead & dying after the nuke melt downs!

06 May 2014 (10:28 UTC-07 Tango)/06 Rajab 1435/14 Ordibehesht 1393/08 Ji-Si 4712

Japan’s NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation) reporting that their own survey of evacuees following the disasters of March 2011, show that more people have died since the nuclear melt downs than during the tsunami!

3076 evacuees have died since being forced to flee their homes after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011!  388 people died just since 2013!

More than half of those that died came from Fukushima Prefecture, the majority from near the GE designed disaster reactors.  Of course ‘officials’ are blaming the deaths on “stress” or “poor health”, but it’s suspicious that the majority of those deaths are people who originally lived near the nuclear power plant and were forced to evacuate after the plant went into melt down (or melt out) mode.

Since very little has been done to help the victims, and very little has been done by the national government to clean up the contamination, and since Fukushima Daiichi still spews forth possibly millions of becquerels of radiation daily, the deaths will only continue.

Fukushima evacuations false flag op to destroy families? 

FUKUSHIMA “MELT-OUTS”, IT ONLY GETS WORSE!

Fukushima WIPP Radiation fallout: 6 years old with radiation, he’s now off limits! Oregon tuna contaminated! Chemical explosion at WIPP? TEPCo makes deal with British Devil! Fukushima evacuations false flag op to destroy families? Radiation treatment for victims of the BP oil disaster?

05 May 2014 (22:35 UTC-07 Tango 04 May 2014)/05 Rajab 1435/13 Ordibehesht 1393/07 Ji-Si 4712

In the failed U.S. city of Chicago, doctors at the Comer Children’s Hospital are treating a six years old boy suffering from cancer, with the very thing that causes cancer; radiation.  This is a relatively new ‘treatment’ using metaiodobenzylguanidine combined with radioactive iodine, but now the kid is so radioactive nobody can come near him!

It’s a new experimental form of radiation ‘treatment’ for a cancer known as neuroblastoma.  The victim was unable to directly touch anything for at least one week, as his radiation levels dropped.  Everything he had to touch was covered in plastic.

Even though it’s an experimental treatment doctors somehow claim it has a 40% success rate.

In New Mexico U.S.A., video and pics show damage inside the military’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).   Officials say ballast bags used to weigh down storage drums “have been disturbed”.

The video and pics were taken in Panel 7, the newest addition to the deep underground nuke waste storage site.   At this time investigators do not know why the ballast/protective bags moved.  These bags filled with magnesium oxide weigh freakin’ 1905kg (4200 pounds)!

Investigators are suspecting that recently arrived waste drums from Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratory (LANL) ruptured (what they really mean is ‘exploded’, because what could move bags weighing 1905kg?), which would have caused the radiation leaks.

Concerns are that the drums might have been improperly packed, causing a chemical reaction.  Since WIPP has been shutdown all LANL waste was being shipped to Texas, but now that has been halted as well.

If you don’t like your food contaminated with radiation get ready to protest the U.S. FDA, and stop eating seafood from the Gulf of Mexico.  The Food and Drug Administration now approves of the process known as irradiation of food products!  It’s currently being done with seafood caught along the Gulf of Mexico.  Is anybody suspicious of the fact that years after the BP oil disaster, fisheries in the area are resorting to radiation to kill the super bacteria now being found in the seafood?

In Oregon, U.S.A., albacore tuna are showing increasing levels of radiation.  Researchers at Oregon State University say they are detecting trace levels of cesium-137 and cesium-134 in recent tuna catches.  The levels are three times higher as compared to before the Fukushima Daiichi melt downs, but scientists say it’s still not a threat yet: “You can’t say there is absolutely zero risk because any radiation is assumed to carry at least some small risk.  But these trace levels are too small to be a realistic concern.  A year of eating albacore with these cesium traces is about the same dose of radiation as you get from spending 23 seconds in a stuffy basement from radon gas, or sleeping next to your spouse for 40 nights from the natural potassium-40 in their body.”-Delvan Neville, research assistant

In Japan, a new study shows that the evacuation of families, from Fukushima Prefecture’s nuclear disaster areas, for some reason intentionally spilt up 49% of the families!

The officials in charge of the evacuations used the following excuses to split up families: Education of children, employment requirements for adults, healthcare issues and temporary housing issues.

Three years later family members are reporting that they are still split up.   Previous studies have shown that evacuees are suffering the highest rate of suicides in Japan.

Proven to be completely, and even by their own admissions, incompetent Tokyo Electric Power Company has signed a deal with United Kingdom’s own evil nuclear power operator Sellafield.

Sellafield operates a nuclear power plant in Cumbria.  Nearby is a massive (1 million cubic meters ) nuclear waste dump, operated jointly by an American-French-Swedish private consortium led by California based URS Corporation.  It’s called Drigg Low-Level Waste Repository.  A new report by Britain’s Environmental Agency warns that increasing erosion of the coastline threatens to expose the nuclear waste underground.

 

More Fukushima WIPP Radiation fallout: DoE slams WIPP! Long term radiation exposure makes wildlife bigger-n-badder? Revealed; Fukushima “melt-outs”, it only gets worse!

27 April 2014 (00:26 UTC-07 Tango)/26 Jumada t-Tania 1435/07 Ordibehesht 1393/28 Wu-Chen 4712

On the 28th anniversary of the Chernobyl melt down, Spanish ecologists have discovered that long term radiation exposure is actually a benefit: “Previous studies of wildlife at Chernobyl showed that chronic radiation exposure depleted antioxidants and increased oxidative damage. We found the opposite, that antioxidant levels increased and oxidative stress decreased with increasing background radiation.”-Ismael Galván, Spanish National Research Council

The ecologists studied 16 species of birds, in areas that had background radiation levels as high as 92.9 microSieverts per hour.  They found there was no damage to the birds’ DNA, because specific antioxidants in the birds had increased making them stronger.

And don’t forget those recent documentaries about wolves and other four legged animals who seem to be more than thriving in the  Chernobyl area.

An update on the West Lake Landfill in Bridgeton, Missouri U.S.A. : Independent testing confirm increased radiation outside the nuclear dump, in a local park and residential areas.   Just today, residents doing their own monitoring reported a rise in radiation levels in a ditch near the Bridgeton Municipal Athletic Complex.

In New Mexico U.S.A., the Department of Energy slammed the operators of the military’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) saying they were too incompetent to “…..fully understand, characterize and control the radiological hazard.”

It was also discovered that air filtration systems at WIPP were inadequate for the job, and actually reduced “the overall efficiency of the HEPA filter system”.   The DoE report directly blames the WIPP contractor, Nuclear Waste Partnership, for causing the ‘accident’ due to their lackadaisical management, training and maintenance programs.

The special WIPP investigation team reported they have yet to find any physical evidence of what is causing the radiation leaks!  At least 21 WIPP workers were contaminated.

In Japan, it has been revealed that the GE designed, and Tokyo Electric Power Company managed, Fukushima Daiichi nuke plant suffered more than just three melt downs.  It’s being called melt-outs!

After three years the cores of the reactors have yet to be found.  Three years ago, in several of my posting I posited that based on the type of isotopes being found outside the reactors that the cores were melting and spewing forth into the ocean and atmosphere.

Radiation was being found in trash incinerators as far away as Tokyo. Now there are reports of Black Dirt/Black Road Dust that’s being found, and it’s highly radioactive.  Some scientist call Black Dirt the hard to prove “hot particles”, that are actually more dangerous than other forms of radiation contamination.

Researchers concluded: “The observed activity ratios for 236U[uranium]/239+240Pu[plutonium] were in reasonable agreement with those calculated for the fuel core inventories, indicating that trace amounts of U from the fuel cores were released together with Pu isotopes but without large fractionation……….this is the first report to give a quantitative estimation of the amount discharged. Appreciable fractionation between volatile and refractory radionuclides associated with the dispersal/deposition processes with distance from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant was found.”Isotopic Compositions of 236U and Pu Isotopes in “Black Substances” Collected from Roadsides in Fukushima Prefecture: Fallout from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident 

The former mayor of Futaba Town went on Russian TV to expose the lies about Fukushima Daiichi, and accused the U.S. puppet government of Japan of intentionally killing people by forcing them to return to highly contaminated areas: “…..radiation is still there. This is killing children. They die of heart conditions, asthma, leukemia, thyroiditis… Lots of kids are extremely exhausted after school; others are simply unable to attend PE classes. But the authorities still hide the truth from us, and I don’t know why. Don’t they have children of their own? It hurts so much to know they can’t protect our children.  They say Fukushima Prefecture is safe, and that’s why nobody’s working to evacuate children, move them elsewhere. We’re not even allowed to discuss this!………Japan has some dark history. This is a sort of a sacrifice to the past.”-Idogawa Katsutaka

More Fukushima WIPP Fallout: Radiation monitors at WIPP in doubt by EPA! Jamaican nuke monitoring part of false flag nuke attack? Beware belts & bras!

08 April 2014 (13:28 UTC-07 Tango)/07 Jumada t-Tania 1435/19 Farvardin 1393/09 Wu-Chen 4712

The U.S. EPA is installing more air samplers around the shutdown Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico.  According to local news reports, the EPA now questions the reliability of air sampling radiation monitors around WIPP, so they are installing redundant monitors “to identify any needed improvements and ensure adequate monitoring.”

Click pics to make bigger

The special investigation team has made two descents into WIPP, and a third is planned for 10 April.  They set up a command base near the plutonium and americium leak, they claim they detected no high radiation levels.  Samples have been sent to the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) in eastern Idaho. The INL is also the site of the World’s first deadly nuclear reactor accident (EBR-1).

In Japan, Tokyo Electric Power Company has revealed that there is not enough storage space for all the nuclear waste that will be generated while ‘decommissioning’ the melted down Fukushima Daiichi!

TEPCo estimates 560-thousand cubic meters of waste over the next 13 years.  They plan to burn about 340-thousand cubic meters of the nuke waste!  But that will leave 220-thousand cubic meters with nowhere to go.  TEPCo says all the storage being built now will hold only 160-thousand cubic meters, or about 200 olympic sized swimming pools worth.

Japan’s fishermen have agreed to TEPCo’s plan to reroute groundwater into the ocean, but now they’ve issued demands.  The National Federation of Fisheries Cooperative Associations is demanding an independent third party to monitor the water release, and that the national government of Japan must finally take responsibility for what happens to the fishing industry.

More investigation into the U.S. taxpayer funded Department of Energy (DoE)/National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) radiation monitoring in Jamaica and Bahamas revealed that the program actually started between 2006-09, years before Fukushima Daiichi blew up!

At the Port of Kingston, in Jamaica, it is called the Radiation Detection Program, and it is actually part of the larger War on Terror known as Megaports Initiative: “President Obama has made an unprecedented commitment to preventing the threat of nuclear terrorism by securing dangerous nuclear and other radioactive materials and keeping those materials out of the hands of proliferators and terrorist organizations.  This cooperation increases our capability to identify illicit shipments of special nuclear and other radioactive materials and bolsters the worldwide effort to prevent nuclear proliferation and terrorism.”-Ken Baker, NNSA

The Megaports Initiative involves at least 42 ports throughout Asia, Latin America, Caribbean, Europe, Middle East and Africa.  The NNSA came to life after President Bill Clinton reluctantly approved it at the end of his term as regime leader (more than one year prior to the 11 September 2001 terror attacks in the U.S.).

In 2013 the NNSA, along with the International Atomic Energy Agency, began training ‘first responders’ from Armenia, Djibouti, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, under the Radiological Assistance Program Training for Emergency Response (I-RAPTER): “….joint training to ensure that more first responders have the capability to locate, characterize, identify and control nuclear and radioactive material.”-Joseph Krol, NNSA

Clearly your fearless leaders are expecting a some kind of nuclear attack! (was it on the missing MH370?)

Already companies are producing new dubious products to protect you from radiation.

An Israeli company is marketing a belt they claim can protect your entire body from gamma radiation!  Company officials admitted that for their gamma radiation blocking material to really be effective they’d have to make a full body suit, however, it would weigh 200 kilos (441 pounds)!

The next dubious product is a bra made by a U.S. hazmat suit maker  in Florida.  They claim that by covering your boobs with their $69 bra your boobs are totally protected from radiation.  The rest of your body is screwed!  I guess vain women want their boobs to look good even if the rest of their body is ravaged by radiation contamination.  By the way, the company refuses to guarantee that your boobs will not be irradiated while wearing the expensive bra.

More Fukushima WIPP Fallout: Sensitive equipment gone missing! UN says TEPCo lies about radiation levels! Thyroid cancer expected to increase!

“No account was taken of the potential contribution from intakes of shorter-lived isotopes…..as a result, the assessed doses from internal exposure could have been underestimated by about 20 per cent. …..because of the long delay before monitoring……internal doses estimated by TEPCO and its contractors are uncertain.”-UNSCEAR

The UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) blasted Tokyo Electric Power Company for dumbing down radiation contamination for throwaway workers at the melting Fukushima Daiichi reactors!

The UNSCEAR report revealed that the Japanese government failed to record radiation levels: “….few direct measurements of internal exposures were available for members of the public. These were insufficient for the Committee to estimate doses for the areas in Japan most affected by the accident.”

Main stream news media failing to report that UNSCEAR now expects at least 1-thousand children to suffer thyroid cancer: “For 1-year-old infants, the effective dose was estimated to be about twice that for adults and the dose to the thyroid was estimated to be up to about 80 mGy [milliGray].……….Some infants may have received thyroid doses of 100 mGy or more.….

…….children are generally at more risk of tumour induction than are adults.”

In the U.S. state of New Mexico, the special investigation team was supposed to enter the abandoned U.S. Waste Isolation Pilot Plant site on 01 April, but couldn’t because required equipment never showed up!

Personal radiation detectors, that attach to the clothing of the inspectors, never showed up.  It’s not known when they will!

More Fukushima Fallout: Jamaica halts ‘secret’ U.S. funded radiation testing! Says they are getting stuck with radiation contaminated Japanese vehicles!

28 March 2014 (15:45 UTC-07 Tango)/26 Jumada l-Ula 1435/08 Farvardin 1393/28 Ding-Mao 4712

The Jamaican government has halted U.S. funded radiation testing of products coming from Japan.

Executive Director of the Bureau of Standards Jamaica (BSJ), Yvonne Hall, says she has no legal guidelines for complying with the demands of the U.S. Department of Energy.  Hall says her U.S. DoE trained and equipped employees have been stuck with a contaminated bus from Japan, but the BSJ has no legal authority to take any action.

It turns out that U.S. DoE trained and equipped Jamaican Customs has been passing the buck, turning over contaminated vehicles to the BSJ or Ministry of Health!   Jamaican Customs officials asked Japan to take back the contaminated vehicles, but apparently Japan has blown them off.

Jamaican lawmakers are trying to pass a new Radiation Protection Authority Bill, to clear up who has the authority to do what.
