This is a compendium of the alarmism surrounding the Fukushima
disaster. All the numbers quoted here
must be taken as unproven and unsupported.
Worse, the folks involved in the cleanup have not been overly
forthcoming to deal with this type of factual misinformation. Thus it is easy to cherry pick data to
misrepresent the situation in pursuit of one’s own agenda.
We have a problem whose solution includes first removing all the fuel and
spent fuel. Then we have to step by step
decommission the plant itself by selective dismantling and likely encasing
material in cement. Right now we have
begun to remove fuel.
And yes it is likely necessary top flush nasties into the sea in order to
dilute the effect. I have no reason to
think that this strategy, unwelcome as it is will not actually succeed
here. Claims of damage are easily tested
and dismissed by getting samples from damaged wildlife. Otherwise we are writing alarmist fiction for
the gullible.
Actual radiation poisoning is readily detected.
28 Signs That The West Coast Is Being Absolutely Fried
With Nuclear Radiation From Fukushima
By Michael Snyder, on October 21st, 2013

The
map above comes from the Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center.
It shows that radiation levels at radiation monitoring stations all over the
country are elevated. As you will notice, this is particularly true along
the west coast of the United States. Every single day, 300 tons of
radioactive water from Fukushima enters the Pacific Ocean. That means
that the total amouont of radioactive material released from Fukushima is
constantly increasing, and it is steadily building up in our food chain.
Ultimately, all of this nuclear radiation will outlive all of us by a very wide
margin. They are saying that it could take up to 40 years to clean up the
Fukushima disaster, and meanwhile countless innocent people will develop cancer
and other health problems as a result of exposure to high levels of nuclear
radiation. We are talking about a nuclear disaster that is absolutely
unprecedented, and it is constantly getting worse. The following are 28
signs that the west coast of North America is being absolutely fried with
nuclear radiation from Fukushima…
1. Polar
bears, seals and walruses along the Alaska coastline are suffering fromfur loss and open sores…
Wildlife
experts are studying whether fur loss and open sores detected in nine
polar bears in recent weeks is widespread and related to similar incidents
among seals and walruses.
The
bears were among 33 spotted near Barrow, Alaska, during routine survey work
along the Arctic coastline. Tests showed they had “alopecia, or loss of fur,
and other skin lesions,” the U.S.
Geological Survey said in a statement.
At
island rookeries off the Southern California coast, 45 percent of the pups born
in June have died, said Sharon Melin, a wildlife biologist for the National
Marine Fisheries Service based in Seattle. Normally, less than one-third of the
pups would die. It’s gotten so bad in the past two weeks that the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration declared an “unusual mortality event.”
3. Along
the Pacific coast of Canada and the Alaska coastline, the population of sockeye
salmon is at a historic low.
Many are blaming Fukushima.
4. Something
is causing fish all along the west coast of Canada to bleed from
their gills, bellies and eyeballs.
5. A
vast field of radioactive debris from Fukushima that is approximately
the size of California has crossed the
Pacific Ocean and is starting to collide with the west coast.
6. It
is being projected that the radioactivity of coastal waters off the U.S. west
coast could double over
the next five to six years.
7. Experts
have found very high
levels of cesium-137 in plankton living
in the waters of the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and the west coast.
8. One
test in California found that 15 out of 15 bluefin
tuna were contaminated with radiation from Fukushima.
9. Back
in 2012, the Vancouver Sun reported that cesium-137 was being found ina very high percentage of
the fish that Japan was selling to Canada…
•
73 percent of mackerel tested
•
91 percent of the halibut
•
92 percent of the sardines
•
93 percent of the tuna and eel
•
94 percent of the cod and anchovies
•
100 percent of the carp, seaweed, shark and monkfish
10. Canadian
authorities are finding extremely high
levels of nuclear radiation in certain fish
samples…
Some
fish samples tested to date have had very high levels of radiation: one sea
bass sample collected in July, for example, had 1,000 becquerels per kilogram
of cesium.
11. Some
experts believe that we could see very high levels of cancer along the west
coast just from
people eating contaminated fish…
“Look
at what’s going on now: They’re dumping huge amounts of radioactivity into the
ocean — no one expected that in 2011,” Daniel Hirsch, a nuclear policy lecturer
at the University of California-Santa Cruz, told Global Security Newswire. “We could have large numbers of cancer
from ingestion of fish.”
12. BBC
News recently reported that radiation levels around Fukushima are “18 times higher” than previously
believed.
13. An EU-funded study concluded
that Fukushima released up to 210 quadrillion becquerels of cesium-137 into the
atmosphere.
14. Atmospheric
radiation from Fukushima reached the west coast of the United States within a few days back
in 2011.
15. At
this point, 300 tons of contaminated
water is pouring into the Pacific Ocean from Fukushima every single day.
16. A
senior researcher of marine chemistry at the Japan Meteorological Agency’s Meteorological
Research Institute says that “30 billion becquerels of radioactive cesium and
30 billion becquerels of radioactive strontium” are being released into the
Pacific Ocean from Fukushima every single day.
17. According
to Tepco, a total of somewhere between 20 trillion and
40 trillion becquerels of radioactive tritium have
gotten into the Pacific Ocean since the Fukushima disaster first began.
18. According
to a professor at Tokyo University, 3 gigabecquerels of cesium-137 are flowing
into the port at Fukushima Daiichi every single day.
19. It
has been estimated that up to 100 times as much nuclear
radiation has been released into the ocean from Fukushima than was released
during the entire Chernobyl disaster.
20. One
recent study concluded that a very large plume of cesium-137 from the Fukushima
disaster will start flowing into U.S. coastal waters early next year…
Ocean
simulations showed that the plume of radioactive cesium-137 released by the
Fukushima disaster in 2011 could begin flowing into U.S. coastal waters
starting in early 2014 and peak in 2016.
21. It is being projected that significant levels of cesium-137 will reach every corner of the Pacific Ocean by the year 2020.
22. It
is being projected that the entire Pacific Ocean will soon “have cesium
levels 5 to 10 times higher” than what we witnessed
during the era of heavy atomic bomb testing in the Pacific many decades ago.
23. The
immense amounts of nuclear radiation getting into the water in the Pacific
Ocean has caused environmental activist Joe Martino to issue the following warning…
“Your
days of eating Pacific Ocean fish are over.”
24. The
Iodine-131, Cesium-137 and Strontium-90 that are constantly coming from
Fukushima are going to affect the health of those living the the northern
hemisphere for a very, very long time. Just consider what Harvey Wassermanhad
to say about this…
Iodine-131,
for example, can be ingested into the thyroid, where it emits beta particles
(electrons) that damage tissue. A plague of damaged thyroids has already been
reported among as many as 40 percent of the children in the Fukushima area.
That percentage can only go higher. In developing youngsters, it can stunt both
physical and mental growth. Among adults it causes a very wide range of
ancillary ailments, including cancer.
Cesium-137
from Fukushima has been found in fish caught as far away as California. It
spreads throughout the body, but tends to accumulate in the muscles.
Strontium-90’s
half-life is around 29 years. It mimics calcium and goes to our bones.
25. According to a recent Planet Infowars report, the California coastline is being transformed into “a dead zone”…
The
California coastline is becoming like a dead zone.
If
you haven’t been to a California beach lately, you probably don’t know that the
rocks are unnaturally CLEAN – there’s hardly any kelp, barnacles, sea urchins,
etc. anymore and the tide pools are similarly eerily devoid of crabs, snails
and other scurrying signs of life… and especially as compared to 10 – 15 years
ago when one was wise to wear tennis shoes on a trip to the beach in order to
avoid cutting one’s feet on all the STUFF of life – broken shells, bones,
glass, driftwood, etc.
There
are also days when I am hard-pressed to find even a half dozen seagulls and/or
terns on the county beach.
You
can still find a few gulls trolling the picnic areas and some of the
restaurants (with outdoor seating areas) for food, of course, but, when I think
back to 10 – 15 years ago, the skies and ALL the beaches were literally filled
with seagulls and the haunting sound of their cries both day and night…
NOW
it’s unnaturally quiet.
26. A
study conducted last year came
to the conclusion that radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster could
negatively affect human life along the west coast of North America from Mexico
to Alaska “for decades”.
27. According to the Wall Street Journal, it is being projected that the cleanup of Fukushima could take up to 40 years to complete.
28. Yale
Professor Charles Perrow is warning that if the cleanup of Fukushima is not
handled with 100% precision that humanity could be threatened “for thousands of years“…
“Conditions
in the unit 4 pool, 100 feet from the ground, are perilous, and if any two of
the rods touch it could cause a nuclear reaction that would be uncontrollable.
The radiation emitted from all these rods, if they are not continually cool and
kept separate, would require the evacuation of surrounding areas including
Tokyo. Because of the radiation at the site the 6,375 rods in the common
storage pool could not be continuously cooled; they would fission and
all of humanity will be threatened, for thousands of years.”
Are
you starting to understand why so many people are so deeply concerned about
what is going on at Fukushima?

I am becoming more and more convinced that you are nothing but a fear monger
who would not know an article on science if it came up and kicked him in the groin
http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=15903
And here is a clue: If an article, or a website mentions "the truth" you can be about 99% certain that it is / was written uneducated foolish liar who is probably less reliable than a politician running for re-election
