Here's the video that Dr. Deagle and Chris Harris are discussing:?Fukushima HOT PARTICLE from Vaporized Core found 300 miles away (Marko Kaltofen)

Original Upload of this video by Urupiper2 called Deagle 2014/043/03 - CHRIS HARRIS (Fukushima)

Marco Kaltofen in one of the most important videos Fairewinds Energy Education has ever produced. Three years ago, Fairewinds was one of the first organizations to talk about the "hot particles" that are scattered all over Japan and North America's west coast.

Hot particles are dangerous and difficult to detect. In this video Mr. Kaltofen discusses the hottest hot particle he has ever found, and it was discovered more than 300 miles from the Fukushima Daiichi site.

If Fairewinds Energy Education was a Japanese website, the State Secrets Law would likely prevent them from issuing this video.Arnie Gundersen will provide a brief summary at the end of the video.

In this video Mr. Kaltofen discusses the hottest hot particle he has ever found, and it was discovered more than 300 miles from the Fukushima Daiichi site.

If Fairewinds Energy Education was a Japanese website, the State Secrets Law would likely prevent us from issuing this video. Arnie Gundersen provides a brief introduction and summary to the video.

In looking at indoor environments, they tend to be much more contaminated than the surroundings outside. Houses act like a trap and they tend to collect outdoor contaminants. And they expose people as much as 24 hours a day versus consider how short a time most people spend outdoors.

The sample that we got came from the Goya in Japan. It's 460 kilometers from the accident site. That's about 300 miles away from Fukushima Daiichi.


Let's put it this way.

Eighty percent by weight of this particle was made up of pure reactor core materials. So that tells me that something that came directly from the accident, directly from the core, could escape containment and travel a very, very significant distance. The winds will blow it long distances.

This material was in the petabecquerel per kilogram range. The number we're looking at is 4 followed by 19 zeroes -- that many becquerels per kilogram. That's a very, very high number and essentially, that's the kind of number you get when you look at core material.

So essentially what we're talking about is a worst case for black sand. So this material was vaporized during the accident. It condenses into these small particles and then they aggregate.

So far, from our Japanese samples from Fukushima Prefecture and from Tokyo, about 25 percent of those samples contained at least a few measurable hot particles. Only one that was this hot. And this was the worst case. It doesn't represent any kind of average, but it does tell you what's possible.

It is solid scientific material like this that you will not see or hear via traditional news stories, TEPCO, or the IAEA. Fairewinds has long said that there will be significant increases in cancer in Japan as a result of the Fukushima Daiichi accident, and this video describing just one hot particle confirms our worst fears.

TOKYO —
Fukushima Industries said Tuesday it was rethinking its "Fukuppy" mascot, after the Internet erupted in sniggers over a name that recalls the catalogue of mishandling at the Fukushima nuclear plant.

The Osaka-based refrigerator maker, whose name derives from its founder and has nothing to do with the area hit by an atomic catastrophe, has been ridiculed on social networking sites for the name it gave its egg-like mascot, which has blue wings and red feet.

"I'm Fukuppy. Nice to meet you," the smiling character with a human face tells visitors to the company's website. "I think I'm kind with a strong sense of justice but people say I'm a little bit scatterbrained."

Fukushima Industries unveiled "Fukuppy" in April, blending the first part of the company name—Fuku—and the end of the English word "happy", saying it represented the corporate philosophy of being a happiness-creating company.

But the striking moniker was mistaken for "an inappropriate word among people in English-speaking places or its meaning was misunderstood on the Internet," the company said in a statement.

"We sincerely apologize for worrying many people and creating misunderstanding among them," the company said, adding: "We will look into the name, including a rethink of it."

The firm, which makes industrial cooling systems and has offices in China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Taiwan, said the name was nothing to do with the battered Fukushima power station.

It is common for companies and organizations in Japan to have a cuddly mascot character that they use as part of branding. Many are brought to life by adults in full-size costumes who wander around sponsored events posing for photographs with children.

In September, Asahikawa Prison in Japan's far north unveiled "Katakkuri-chan", a nearly two-meter humanoid with a huge square face and an enormous purple flower for hair, which bosses hoped would soften the image of the jail.

Tokyo Metropolitan Police has had its own crime-fighting mascot since the 1980s who is now well-loved across the nation.
The use of English, or English-derived words, is also very common in Japan, where despite many years of compulsory language schooling, standards remain relatively low.

This leads to occasional hilarity among visitors to the country, who struggle to understand why someone would drink the unappetising-sounding Pocari Sweat or the off-putting Calpis.

Bizarre phrases born of poorly understood English lessons frequently make their way onto t-shirts, stationery and into advertising copy.

The mascot can be seen on the company's website: http://www.fukusima.co.jp/

One year ago:

Melted fuel removal at Fukushima plant seen optimistically starting in 2020
Source: Kyodo News
Date: June 28, 2013

Work to remove melted fuel from the three crippled reactors at Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant could start in 2020, the government and Tepco optimistically said Thursday, based on a revised, albeit vague, plan to decommission the stricken complex, a process expected to take decades. [...]

The second phase of the decommissioning, based on the revised plan, will entail the removal of the melted fuel from crippled reactors 1 and 2 starting in fiscal 2020 if possible, followed by work to start removing the melted fuel inside reactor 3 in the latter half of fiscal 2021 at the earliest. Reactor 3?s fuel is the highly lethal mixed uranium-plutonium oxide (MOX) fuel. [...]

The extractions may be delayed if proper equipment isn't available to deal with the three stricken reactors, whose levels of damage and radiation differ. [...]

Another scenario points to starting the fuel removal of reactor 1 in fiscal 2022, that of reactor 2 in fiscal 2024 and reactor 3?s fuel in fiscal 2023. [...]

Fast-forward one year:

Details of reactor damage still unknown

TEPCO officials are struggling to find the exact locations of breaches in the containment vessels for reactors 1, 2 and 3, and the condition of the melted fuel that they eventually plan to retrieve.

Officials believe that at reactor number 2, water is leaking from a donut-shaped suppression chamber at the bottom of the containment vessel, but do not know exactly from where.

As for reactors 1 and 3, the utility has found the sources of some leaks, but suspects there are other breaches that have yet to be identified.

Nothing is known about the condition of the melted fuel in all 3 reactors.

TEPCO is considering various forms of surveys, including a plan to send a camera-mounted robot into the facilities.

Does this line of obfuscation sound eerily familiar?

Same old, same old...except that this is 1,187 days post-event - dated 10 June 2014.

This is the reality of where the corium is at reactor #2; most of the early admissions by TEPCO of the true status of the catastrophe have been systematically removed from SkyNet, but many of us have extensive libraries (offline) of what really happened.   

It's all in the book: Fukushima: The Last Nuclear Accident on Planet Earth.

Tuna Fish Radiation Levels Triple After Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Failure

10 June 2014

Has the Fukushima nuclear power plant failure had a large effect on sea life? A recent study found that Albacore tuna radiation levels had tripled post-Fukushima.

The tuna fish were not caught off the coast of Japan. Oregon State University researchers conducted the study and used tuna swimming off the coast of Oregon.

Does this rapid rise in radiation indicate that the fish are now hazardous for human consumption?

No, says Delvin Neville, a graduate research assistant at OSU. He explains: "But these trace levels are too small to be a realistic concern."

Neville brings in some comparisons:

"You can't say there is absolutely zero risk because any radiation is assumed to carry at least some small risk," said Delvan Neville, a graduate research assistant in the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Health Physics at Oregon State University and lead author on the study. "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."

He says: "It's just not much at all."

However, researchers at NOAA and the GEOMAR Research Center for Marine Geosciences differ. They contend that the most radioactive water has not reached our shores.

What do you think?

Does the tripled radiation levels in some of the tuna indicate that the Fukushima event is more dangerous than we have been led to believe?

Angry scenes as TEPCO shareholders demand end to nuclear power

TOKYO — Furious shareholders in the company that runs Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant joined campaigners Thursday to demand the permanent closure of the utility's nuclear plants, as it held its annual meeting.

Dozens of demonstrators with loudspeakers and banners said Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) must act to avoid a repetition of the 2011 disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, where three reactors went into meltdown after Japan's huge earthquake-sparked tsunami.

Japan shut down all 48 of its reactors in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, the country's worst nuclear crisis in a generation.

The government and electricity companies, including TEPCO, would like to fire some of them up again—but public unease has so far prevented that, as has a new, toothier watchdog.

There was pushing and shoving between security guards and demonstrators as they tried to approach TEPCO shareholders going into the annual meeting in Tokyo.

Activists from conservation group Greenpeace wore full protective suits and industrial face masks to remind shareholders what evacuated families who lived near Fukushima must wear if they go back to check on their homes.

Katsutaka Idogawa, former mayor of the town of Futaba that hosts the crippled plant, lashed out at supporters of nuclear power, including TEPCO's management.

"Why don't you get exposed to radiation yourself?

Why don't you lose your homeland?"

he asked as shareholders filed into Tokyo International Forum for the meeting.

His town remains evacuated because of elevated levels of radiation, amid expectations that it will be decades before it is safe to return, if ever.

Idogawa—who bought TEPCO shares last year in a bid to influence the company's decisions—said the firm has been slow to offer compensation to those who lost homes, jobs, farms and their communities, and what they have offered has been inadequate.

"You don't pay enough compensation and don't take responsibility. I can't forgive you!" he said.

The sentiment was echoed during the meeting by fellow shareholders whose communities host other nuclear plants.

A woman from Niigata Prefecture—where TEPCO hopes to restart reactors at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, the world's largest
nuclear plant—also urged the company to put an end to its nuclear operations.

"Are we going to make the same mistake that we had in Fukushima, also in Niigata?" she said.

"Fellow shareholders, please support this proposal of scrapping the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant... and revitalising the site with plans for renewable energy," she said.

TEPCO has argued that restarting selected reactors at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa is the key to ensuring the company's survival as it battles huge costs.

"We think the (Niigata prefectural) governor is totally right about his idea 'no investigation into the Fukushima accident, no talks on the resumption (of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant)," said TEPCO President Naomi Hirose.

He said TEPCO was investigating the causes and facts of the Fukushima disaster, adding he hopes Niigata's governor will eventually give the green light to restarting the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant.

The calls for an end to nuclear power were Thursday rejected by TEPCO and a majority of its shareholders—who include

a government-backed fund designed to rescue it,
which holds 54.74% of outstanding stock.

                                   

The government has poured billions of yen into TEPCO to keep afloat a company that supplies electricity to Tokyo and its surrounding area, as it stumps up cash for decommissioning the reactors, cleaning up the mess they have made and paying compensation.

During the meeting, Idogawa asked the company management to stop the legal battle over their responsibility for the accident and instead find compensation money for "evacuees and those who are in need".

Others urged the management to invest in renewable energy, including solar power generation instead of nuclear plants.


In eight other Japanese utilities' shareholders meetings also held on Thursday, all propositions to abandon nuclear power were rejected, Jiji Press reported.

TEPCO shareholders reject anti-nuclear proposals -NHK WORLD English-

26 June 2014

The operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has apologized to shareholders about problems involving radioactive wastewater there.

More than 2,100 shareholders of the Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO, attended their annual meeting in Tokyo on Thursday.

Chairman Fumio Sudo said competition in the electric power industry will become fierce as reform of its structure proceeds.

Sudo said the firm will work to fulfill its responsibility to pay damages caused by the nuclear accident at the plant, decommissioning reactors there, and rebuilding Fukushima Prefecture. He said to do this, the company aims to improve its corporate value by drastically changing its management style and business models.

President Naomi Hirose apologized to the people of Fukushima and large parts of society for causing trouble and anxiety over the contaminated water problems.

Some shareholders said it's outrageous that the company responsible for the accident aims to restart reactors that are offline. Others said the firm must not make the same mistake at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant in Niigata Prefecture.

TEPCO executives responded that nuclear power is an important part of the nation's basic energy plan.

The meeting rejected all 10 proposals by shareholders including those calling for abolishing the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa and Fukushima Daini nuclear power plants.

All proposals submitted by TEPCO's management were approved.

26 June 2014

Proposals to scrap nuclear reactors have been rejected at shareholders meetings of 9 major power companies in Japan.

The firms held the annual meetings on Thursday.

Shareholders of Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO, said it's responsible for the Fukushima nuclear accident, and that restarting reactors that are now offline is outrageous.

Shareholders also proposed scrapping nuclear reactors.

TEPCO executives responded that nuclear power is an important part of the nation's basic energy plan.

At the meeting of Kyushu Electric Power Company, shareholders proposed scrapping reactors at the Sendai plant in Kagoshima.

Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority has prioritized a safety screening process for the plant.

Kyushu Electric executives said the company will do its best to improve the plant's safety, and focus on passing the screening.

Shareholders of Kansai Electric Power Company submitted proposals to scrap all of its nuclear plants.

A local district court last month ordered Kansai Electric not to resume operations of two reactors, citing a lack of safety measures.

The World Must Take Charge at Fukushima

"In a time of universal deceit
telling the truth is considered a revolutionary act."
George Orwell

[thorfourwinds]

Helen Caldicott, New York Times, 2 Dec 2011

The nuclear power industry has been resurrected over the past decade by a lobbying campaign that has left many people believing it to be a clean, green, emission-free alternative to fossil fuels. These beliefs pose an extraordinary threat to global public health and encourage a major financial drain on national economies and taxpayers. The commitment to nuclear power as an environmentally safe energy source has also stifled the mass development of alternative technologies that are far cheaper, safer and almost emission free — the future for global energy.

When the Fukushima Daiichi reactors suffered meltdowns in March, literally in the backyard of an unsuspecting public, the stark reality that the risks of nuclear power far outweigh any benefits should have become clear to the world. As the old quip states, "Nuclear power is one hell of a way to boil water."

Instead, the nuclear industry has used the disaster to increase its already extensive lobbying efforts. A few nations vowed to phase out nuclear energy after the disaster. But many others have remained steadfast in their commitment.

That has left millions of innocent people unaware that they — all of us — may face a medical catastrophe beyond all proportions in the wake of Fukushima and through the continued widespread use of nuclear energy.

The world was warned of the dangers of nuclear accidents 25 years ago, when Chernobyl exploded and lofted radioactive poisons into the atmosphere. Those poisons "rained out," creating hot spots over the Northern Hemisphere. Research by scientists in Eastern Europe, collected and published by the New York Academy of Sciences, estimates that 40 percent of the European land mass is now contaminated with cesium 137 and other radioactive poisons that will concentrate in food for hundreds to thousands of years. Wide areas of Asia — from Turkey to China — the United Arab Emirates, North Africa and North America are also contaminated. Nearly 200 million people remain exposed.

That research estimated that by now close to 1 million people have died of causes linked to the Chernobyl disaster. They perished from cancers, congenital deformities, immune deficiencies, infections, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine abnormalities and radiation-induced factors that increased infant mortality. Studies in Belarus found that in 2000, 14 years after the Chernobyl disaster, fewer than 20 percent of children were considered "practically healthy," compared to 90 percent before Chernobyl.

Now, Fukushima has been called the second-worst nuclear disaster after Chernobyl. Much is still uncertain about the long-term consequences. Fukushima may well be on par with or even far exceed Chernobyl in terms of the effects on public health, as new information becomes available. The crisis is ongoing; the plant remains unstable and radiation emissions continue into the air and water.

Recent monitoring by citizens groups, international organizations and the U.S. government have found dangerous hot spots in Tokyo and other areas. The Japanese government, meanwhile, in late September lifted evacuation advisories for some areas near the damaged plant — even though high levels of radiation remained. The government estimated that it will spend at least $13 billion to clean up contamination.

Many thousands of people continue to inhabit areas that are highly contaminated, particularly northwest of Fukushima.

Radioactive elements have been deposited throughout northern Japan, found in tap water in Tokyo and concentrated in tea, beef, rice and other food. In one of the few studies on human contamination in the months following the accident, over half of the more than 1,000 children whose thyroids were monitored in Fukushima City were found to be contaminated with iodine 131 — condemning many to thyroid cancer years from now.

Children are innately sensitive to the carcinogenic effects of radiation, fetuses even more so. Like Chernobyl, the accident at Fukushima is of global proportions. Unusual levels of radiation have been discovered in British Columbia, along the West Coast and East Coast of the United States and in Europe, and heavy contamination has been found in oceanic waters.

Fukushima is classified as a grade 7 accident on the International Atomic Energy Agency scale — denoting "widespread health and environmental effects." That is the same severity as Chernobyl, the only other grade 7 accident in history, but there is no higher number on the agency's scale.

After the accident, lobbying groups touted improved safety at nuclear installations globally. In Japan, the Tokyo Electric Power Co. — which operates the Fukushima Daiichi reactors — and the government have sought to control the reporting of negative stories via telecom companies and Internet service providers.

In Britain, The Guardian reported that days after the tsunami, companies with interests in nuclear power — Areva, EDF Energy and Westinghouse — worked with the government to downplay the accident, fearing setbacks on plans for new nuclear power plants.

Nuclear power has always been the nefarious Trojan horse for the weapons industry, and effective publicity campaigns are a hallmark of both industries. The concept of nuclear electricity was conceived in the early 1950s as a way to make the public more comfortable with the U.S. development of nuclear weapons.

"The atomic bomb will be accepted far more readily if at the same time atomic energy is being used for constructive ends," a consultant to the Defense Department Psychological Strategy Board, Stefan Possony, suggested. The phrase "Atoms for Peace" was popularized by President Dwight Eisenhower in the early 1950s.


Nuclear power and nuclear weapons are one and the same technology. A 1,000 megawatt nuclear reactor generates 600 pounds or so of plutonium per year: An atomic bomb requires a fraction of that amount for fuel, and plutonium remains radioactive for 250,000 years. Therefore every country with a nuclear power plant also has a bomb factory with unlimited potential.The nuclear power industry sets an unforgivable precedent by exporting nuclear technology — bomb factories — to dozens of non-nuclear nations.

Why is nuclear power still viable, after we've witnessed catastrophic accidents, enormous financial outlays, weapons proliferation and nuclear-waste induced epidemics of cancers and genetic disease for generations to come? Simply put, many government and other officials believe the nuclear industry mantra: safe, clean and green. And the public is not educated on the issue.

There are some signs of change. Germany will phase out nuclear power by 2022. Italy and Switzerland have decided against it, and anti-nuclear advocates in Japan have gained traction. China remains cautious on nuclear power. Yet the nuclear enthusiasm of the U.S., Britain, Russia and Canada continues unabated. The industry, meanwhile, has promoted new modular and "advanced" reactors as better alternatives to traditional reactors. They are, however, subject to the very same risks — accidents, terrorist attacks, human error — as the traditional reactors. Many also create fissile material for bombs as well as the legacy of radioactive waste.

True green, clean, nearly emission-free solutions exist for providing energy. They lie in a combination of conservation and renewable energy sources, mainly wind, solar and geothermal, hydropower plants, and biomass from algae. A smart-grid could integrate consuming and producing devices, allowing flexible operation of household appliances. The problem of intermittent power can be solved by storing energy using available technologies.

Millions of jobs can be created by replacing nuclear power with nationally integrated, renewable energy systems. In the U.S. alone, the project could be paid for by the $180 billion currently allocated for nuclear weapons programs over the next decade. There would be no need for new weapons if the Russian and U.S. nuclear arsenals — 95 percent of the estimated 20,500 nuclear weapons globally — were abolished.

Nuclear advocates often paint those who oppose them as Luddites who are afraid of, or don't understand, technology, or as hysterics who exaggerate the dangers of nuclear power.

One might recall the sustained attack over many decades by the tobacco industry upon the medical profession, a profession that revealed the grave health dangers induced by smoking.

Smoking, broadly speaking, only kills the smoker. Nuclear power bequeaths morbidity and mortality — epidemics of disease — to all future generations.

The millions of lives lost to smoking in the era before the health risks of cigarettes were widely exposed will be minuscule compared to the medical catastrophe we face through the continued use of nuclear power.

Let's use this extraordinary moment to convince governments and others to move toward a nuclear-free world. Let's prove that informed democracies will behave in a responsible fashion.

Summary:
Following the unprecedented triple meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant after Japan's 3/11 earthquake and tsunami, a myriad of far reaching questions has arisen...

What's the current state of the Fukushima nuclear reactors?

How much radiation have they already released?

What type of health impacts can we expect?

Is our seafood supply safe?

And what about the other 435 nuclear reactors around the world, 104 in the US alone - 22 of them the same exact design as those that exploded and melted down in Fukushima, are they safe??

Yet these are not easy questions to get answers to. The mainstream media and the internet are full of conflicting viewpoints & information.

For example, UN scientists have already claimed that the health impacts of Fukushima will be negligible and statistically insignificant, which is parroted in CNN's documentary "Pandora's Promise".

However independent scientists tell a very different story; they project on the order of a million cancers within the next few decades in Japan alone.

So how does such a massive scientific discrepancy occur?

Nuclear Exodus explores the ties that inexorably bind the nuclear power industry to the military industrial complex, and how the lust for nuclear weapons causes governments to push nuclear power on their citizens, while covering up the true health effects of radiation exposure.

It delves deep into the legacy & lessons of Chernobyl, nuclear waste management, nuclear terrorism, & solar flares which could potentially trigger hundreds of nuclear meltdowns across the world - threatening life on Earth as we know it.??But can human civilization truly generate the electricity it needs without nuclear power, especially while reducing our energy dependence on fossil fuels?

How far have renewable technologies come in 2014 exactly?

And if some cataclysmic disaster did threaten the world, would there be anyway to realistically protect life on Earth?

Could Mars actually be a feasible back up planet anytime soon?

These questions and more are explored in great depth during Nuclear Exodus: Pandora's Promise Was A Lie. (This is version 2.2, the most current and up to date version. It's been tightened up with some important new facts, plus enhanced audio & visuals!)



IMHO, this is a must-see.

[thorfourwinds]

This is a wake-up call well worth the time to view.

This film exposes a new form of Criminality perceived as acceptable - 1000's of Rudolf Hess type Bureaucrats sucking off the trough in a self-destructive daze. Catatonic Cretins sealing all our fates and we let them. The Nuclear Nightmare is surpassing even the extinction level event that snuffed the Dinosaurs.

This documentary was shown on German and French TV but not in England.

For obvious reasons the English don't want anyone to see it.

This is the English version which we hope you will mirror and call attention to. It discusses the effects of sea dumping of radioactive waste on the health of people living on the local coasts, like the Irish Sea and the Baltic Sea, which is the most radioactive sea in the world.

The documentary focuses on the British sea dumping in the English Channel Hurd Deep about 12 miles north of the Channel Island of Alderney. Alderney is also subject to releases to the sea from the French Nuclear Reprocessing Plant at Cap de la La Hague 12 miles East of the small island.

Prof Chris Busby who was consulted on the health effects of this marine radioactive pollution visits the island with the producers and makes measurements of contamination on the beach. Busby originally visited the island in 1998 with Jersey MP Stuart Syvret and found an excess of brain tumors and also general cancer mortality which was written up as a Green Audit paper and became part of a BBC news story at the time. They were both chased off the island.

?Manfred Ladwig manages to get Dr John Cooper, head of the UK radiological protection organization, the HPA, to admit that they balance childhood cancer cases against the advantages of cheaply disposing of nuclear waste. Cooper also agrees that his position involves a conflict of interest since he is head of HPA which takes advice on radiation protection from ICRP.

Cooper is on the ICRP committee. He therefore takes advice from himself. We also hear from Prof Richard Wakeford, ex head of research for Sellafield, but now an "independent" expert, also on ICRP, who tells us the coastal child leukemias were caused by "population mixing".

How long do we have to be subject to advice from these clowns?

Prof Busby asks the youtube to kindly leave this alone since he was part of the production and has the right to upload it.

DECLARE JAPAN'S FUKUSHIMA MELTDOWNS A "LEVEL 8" NUCLEAR DISASTER

TO: CIVIC LEADERS, FAITH LEADERS, CEOS, LOCAL, STATE, & NATIONAL ELECTED OFFICIALS, ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS, PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD

14 September 2014
We are asking individuals, organizations, and governments in every country to publicly support the urgent call for a newly proposed "Level 8" emergency response to the ongoing crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

"We need to act now—to inform and mobilize our communities to demand that local, regional, and national leadership move quickly and gather sufficient resources to initiate and direct an independent, international effort to stabilize, monitor radioactive releases and plumes, and clean up Fukushima. The global environment—and long-term health and safety of every person on the planet, present and future—is at stake."

Why is this important?
The four nuclear reactors devastated by the earthquake and tsunami in March of 2011 continue to pose a grave risk to people and the environment around the entire world. An unprecedented three reactor cores have melted down into (and most likely melted through) their containment vessels on the east coast of Japan.

After three years of questionable management and oversight by the government of Japan and Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), enormous quantities of radioactive releases continue to spew daily into the world's ocean from the Fukushima nuclear power facility—with no end in sight.

A new, international "Level 8" category must be added to the International Atomic Energy Agency's current 7-level scale that characterizes the severity of nuclear accidents.

This new "Level 8" would firmly identify the need for an internationally coordinated response to a major nuclear emergency occurring in any country that has been overwhelmed by disaster, has had a multi-unit accident, or has failed to provide the timely expertise and resources necessary to protect neighboring countries and the global environment from a substantial, ongoing or imminent release of radioactive materials.

I'm curious on this. What is it anyone sees the world could do at this point, that they are both willing to consider and able to accomplish?

Japan won't have their national soil become the project area of a world effort, and I do believe they would go to outright military conflict ..with what they have to do it with...to prevent that. These days..that means the hand wringers in the UN would be stopped cold in their tracks by the mere suggestion of it.

More importantly though...I really do ask no one in particular, if the cores have passed through containment and gone below grade? Just what can be done? They can't be contained from below, as the water table is basically at grade there. After all, look at the geography of the site.

They could obliterate and vaporize the site, to release the mess by volume of material, and in one shot to deal with ..or they can let us die slow, on the installment plan, for decades or more to come. I favor the first approach to solve a problem, however large it may be to attack. They seem to have settled for the second approach tho ...and so...my  son's children will still be arguing over this mess after untold numbers have died from it in the mean time.

What a mess.
