Radiation in Fukushima, Japan

Radiation and contaminated food.

Since we came up with the glorious idea of inglorious fruits and vegetables, there was this rather odd connection that was almost immediately made. Thinking about radiation, which affects the physical growth of flora and fauna, raised the question of health and ethnics on this matter. In many countries the limits of radiation levels in food are very strict, considering the Chernobyl disaster.

-Generally speaking, there should be zero tolerance on food contamination. -Could this be related to a manner of clever marketing that goes past plain sight? -Where do the inglorious fruits and vegetables come from and can they be related to this topic?  -Could this in any way raise questions concerning this matter in the future?

  Media landscape in Japan.

The Media in Japan didn't want to make a big thing about the catastrophe that happened. They tried to hide as much information as possible. For example, “Greenpeace” was not allowed to measure the nuclear radiation so that the world could not receive any information about the real levels of nuclear radiation in Fukushima. Furthermore, the food was contaminated as well. Despite of this contaminated food, the Japanese media tried to let us know that the food is healthy. This is the reason why the EU decided to prohibit the importation of food which was produced in Japan, and especially in Fukushima. In conclusion, the Japanese media tried to deceive the public by retaining as much information as they could concerning the catastrophe and the proper radius of evacuation.

  On the contrary to media landscape, Japan's nuclear safety commission has estimated that the Fukushima plant's reactors had released up to 10,000 terabecquerels of radioactive iodine-131 per hour into the air for several hours after they were damaged in the 11 March earthquake and tsunami. It said emissions since then had dropped to below one terabecquerel per hour, adding that it was examining the total amount of radioactive materials released. A terabecquerel equals a trillion Becquerels, a measure for radiation emissions. The government says the Chernobyl incident released 5.2m terabecquerels into the air about 10 times that of the Fukushima plant.

Fukushima’s children are dying  June 16, 2014

Some 39 months after the multiple explosions at Fukushima, thyroid cancer rates among nearby children have skyrocketed to more than forty times (40x) normal.

More than 48 percent of some 375,000 young people—nearly 200,000 kids—tested by the Fukushima Medical University near the smoldering reactors now suffer from pre-cancerous thyroid abnormalities, primarily nodules and cysts. The rate is accelerating.

More than 120 childhood cancers have been indicated where just three would be expected, says Joseph Mangano, executive director of the Radiation and Public Health Project.

The nuclear industry and its apologists continue to deny this public health tragedy. Some have actually asserted that “not one person” has been affected by Fukushima’s massive radiation releases, which for some isotopes exceed Hiroshima by a factor of nearly 30.

But the deadly epidemic at Fukushima is consistent with impacts suffered among children near the 1979 accident at Three Mile Island and the 1986 explosion at Chernobyl, as well as findings at other commercial reactors.   The likelihood that atomic power could cause such epidemics has been confirmed by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, which says that “an increase in the risk of childhood thyroid cancer” would accompany a reactor disaster.

In evaluating the prospects of new reactor construction in Canada, the Commission says the rate “would rise by 0.3 percent at a distance of 12 kilometers” from the accident. But that assumes the distribution of protective potassium iodide pills and a successful emergency evacuation, neither of which happened at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl or Fukushima.

The numbers have been analyzed by Mangano. He has studied the impacts of reactor-created radiation on human health since the 1980s, beginning his work with the legendary radiologist Dr. Ernest Sternglass and statistician Jay Gould.

Speaking on the Green Power & Wellness Show, Mangano also confirms that the general health among downwind human populations improves when atomic reactors are shut down, and goes into decline when they open or re-open.

Nearby children are not the only casualties at Fukushima. Plant operator Masao Yoshida has died at age 58 of esophogeal cancer. Masao heroically refused to abandon Fukushima at the worst of the crisis, probably saving millions of lives. Workers at the site who are employed by independent contractors—many dominated by organized crime—are often not being monitored for radiation exposure at all. Public anger is rising over government plans to force families—many with small children—back into the heavily contaminated region around the plant.
