U.S. Authorizes First Evacuations of Americans From Japan Over Fears of Nuclear Crisis Published March 17, 2011| FoxNews.com
The United States has authorized the first evacuations of Americans out of Japan, warning U.S. citizens to defer all non-essential travel to any part of the country as unpredictable weather and wind conditions risked spreading radioactive contamination from Friday's magnitude 9 earthquake and subsequent tsunami.The travel warning extends to U.S. citizens already in the country and urges them to consider leaving. The authorized departure offers voluntary evacuation to family members and dependents of U.S. personnel in Tokyo, Yokohama and Nagoya and affects some 600 people. The U.S. also urged Americans within 50 miles of the crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant to relocate.Officials defended the proposed evacuation zone for American troops and citizens in Japan.I want to stress this is a prudent and precautionary measure to take, Gregory Jaczko, chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, told a White House briefing. The evacuation zone recommended by the U.S. is far wider than that established by Japan, which has called for a 12-mile zone and has told those within 20 miles to stay indoors.Jaczko also said that radiation leaking from Japan's nuclear plant does not present a danger to the western U.S. or its Pacific territories at this time.Japan is dealing with a major nuclear crisis following the deadly magnitude 9 earthquake and subsequent tsunami.Senior State Department official Patrick Kennedy said chartered planes will be brought in to help private American citizens wishing to leave. Flights will continue for as long as necessary, and officials were advising Americans to bring food and water with them to the airport.The U.S. military says all families at bases on Japan's Honshu Island are eligible for voluntary departure, according to Reuters. The Pentagon tells Reuters the order applies to some 20,000 dependents of military personnel. For U.S. diplomats, flights were leaving from military bases.The U.S. sent a group of nine experts to Japan as a consequence management response team, a senior U.S. official told Fox News. The official described them as planners, and their job is to work with the commander of U.S. Force Japan to tell him how the U.S. would potentially operate in a radiological environment.
While one group comes in, another leaves as British and American search and rescue teams will end their operations in Friday and begin to pull out of the quake-stricken country.The U.S. decision to evacuate citizens from Japan shows a tougher stand on the deepening nuclear crisis.Japanese officials are at odds over whether water dumps on the crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant Thursday worked as high radiation levels have been detected 19 miles away from the plant.A spokesman for the Tokyo Electric Power Company told Japan news agency NHK that it appears the mission was successful, while a spokesman for the Nuclear And Industrial Safety Agency says the water cannons failed in their attempt to cool the unit when the water failed to reach its target from safe distances.Japanese military helicopters dumped water onto the crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant’s damaged reactors and emergency crews tried unsuccessfully to douse the reactors with water cannons.An official from the Tokyo Electric Power Company told Japan news agency NHK that there is a greater possibility they will be able to fill the spent fuel rod pool for the Unit 3 reactor.
The pool requires 1,200 tons of water to be filled, but the power company official says you only need one-third that amount to cover the spent fuel rods. Without water, there's nothing to stop the fuel rods from getting hotter and ultimately melting down.Two twin-rotor CH-47 Chinooks from the Japanese Self-Defense Forces were used in the operation, working to drop seawater on the No. 3 and No. 4 reactors.
The choppers dumped at least four loads on the reactor in just the first 10 minutes, though television footage showed much of it appearing to disperse in the wind.Chopper crews flew missions of about 40 minutes each to limit their radiation exposure, passing over the reactor with loads of about 7,500 liters of water.A spokesman for the nuclear plant called it a very severe operation, according to Sky News.An International Atomic Energy Agency spokesman says the situation remains very serious, but there has been no significant worsening since yesterday (Wednesday).
Graham Andrew added that reactors 1, 2, and 3 appear to be relatively stable, while Unit 4 remains a major safety concern.Japan's science ministry tells NHK that high levels of radiation have been detected 19 miles from the nuclear plant and the government has instructed residents to stay indoors.
Experts say exposure to that level of radiation for six hours would result in the maximum level considered safe for one year. Japan tells the IAEA that engineers were able to lay an external grid power cable to the Unit 2 reactor, according to Reuters. The line would allow the company to maintain a steady water supply to troubled reactors and spent fuel storage ponds.The White House said it would cooperate closely with Japan during the recovery period, and President Obama spoke with Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan by phone on Wednesday evening.They discussed Japan's efforts to recover from last week's devastating earthquake and tsunami, and the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Dai-chi plant. Obama promised Kan that the U.S. would offer constant support for its close friend and ally, and expressed his extraordinary admiration for the character and resolve of the Japanese people, the White House said.The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed Wednesday that three reactors had partially melted down. Yukiya Amano, the head of the nuclear watchdog agency, says he plans on going to Japan as soon as possible.When asked if events were out of control, he answered: It is difficult to say.Meanwhile, 50 employees at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant -- dubbed the Fukushima 50 -- have put their health and well-being on the line as they try to prevent a total nuclear meltdown with conditions worsening at the plant.The International Atomic Energy Agency reports that 20 of the workers have suffered from radiological contamination, 19 have been injured, while two others are missing.The government has now raised the maximum radiation dose allowed for nuclear workers to 250 millisieverts from 100 millisieverts.It is not known how much radiation has leaked from the crippled nuclear plant because the computer system that forecasts the spread of radioactivity has not been working due to malfunctioning monitoring posts, according to NHK.
A U.S. nuclear expert said he feared the worst.It's more of a surrender, said David Lochbaum, a nuclear engineer who now heads the nuclear safety program for the Union of Concerned Scientists, an activist group. It's not like you wait 10 days and the radiation goes away. In that 10 days things are going to get worse.It's basically a sign that there's nothing left to do but throw in the towel, Lochbaum said.There are six reactors at the plant. Units 1, 2 and 3, which were operating last week, shut down automatically when the quake hit. Since then, all three have been rocked by explosions.Units 4, 5 and 6 were shut at the time of the quake, but even offline reactors have nuclear fuel -- either inside the reactors or in storage ponds -- that need to be kept cool.We don't know the nature of the damage, said Minoru Ohgoda, spokesman for the country's nuclear safety agency. It could be either melting, or there might be some holes in them.The grim search for survivors continues in areas the earthquake and tsunami as the mayor of a northeastern city said his town has been wiped out.Mayor Kameyama Hiroshi told Kyodo News that 10,000 people remain missing in the city of Ishinomaki. Before the tsunami wiped out the coastal town, 164,000 people were living there.Japan's National Police Agency says more than 12,000 people are reported missing or dead. More than 5,600 people are officially listed as dead, but officials believe the toll will climb to well over 10,000.The country's Defense Ministry tells Japan news agency NHK that more than 25,000 have been rescued and another 23,000 are still believed to be stranded on islets near the coast.Nearly a week after the disaster, police said more than 452,000 people were staying in schools and other shelters, as supplies of fuel, medicine and other necessities ran short. Both victims and aid workers appealed for more help.There is enough food, but no fuel or gasoline,said Yuko Niuma, 46, as she stood looking out over Ofunato harbor, where trawlers were flipped on their sides.Along the tsunami-savaged coast, people must stand in line for food, gasoline and kerosene to heat their homes. In the town of Kesennuma, they lined up to get into a supermarket after a delivery of key supplies, such as instant rice packets and diapers.
Each person was only allowed to buy 10 items, NHK television reported.With diapers hard to find in many areas, an NHK program broadcast a how-to session on fashioning a diaper from a plastic shopping bag and a towel.In an extremely rare address to the nation Thursday, Emperor Akihito expressed condolences and urged Japan not to give up.It is important that each of us shares the difficult days that lie ahead," said Akihito, 77, a figure deeply respected across the country. I pray that we will all take care of each other and overcome this tragedy.The Pentagon said U.S. troops working on relief missions can within 50 miles to the plant with approval. Spokesman Col. David Lapan said the U.S. would review requests from the Japanese for assistance that would require troops to move within that radius, though no approval for such movement had been given since the stricter guidelines were enacted.The Pentagon said troops are receiving anti-radiation pills before missions to areas where radiation exposure is likely.With the arrival of three more ships to the massive humanitarian mission, there were 17,000 sailors and Marines afloat on 14 vessels in waters off Japan. Several thousand Army and Air Force service members already stationed at U.S. bases in Japan have also been mobilized for the relief efforts.The Associated Press and NewsCore contributed to this report.
Pentagon Cover-up of Data on Fukushima Disaster
Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com March 17, 2011 11:30AM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=379kr8qJNCc&feature=player_embedded
The Japan Times reports the Pentagon will send an unmanned Global Hawk high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft over the deteriorating Fukushima nuclear complex today.
Photographs taken by the plane equipped with infrared sensors could provide a useful clue to what is occurring inside the reactor buildings, around which high-level radiation has been detected,the news source reports.The flight is basically unnecessary and represents PR spin. Both the Pentagon and the Japanese government know full well the severity of the situation at the Fukushima plant and they are not releasing this information to either the Japanese or American people.The Pentagon is responsible for developing nuclear technology and has particle detectors, also known as radiation detectors, positioned around the world. Both the USS George Washington and USS Ronald Reagan, both now parked off Japan, are outfitted with radiation detection technology.In addition, the radiation can be tracked by the U.S. Air Force’s Constant Phoenix WC-135 jets, which are designed to monitor airborne fallout from nuclear weapons tests.Constant Phoenix technology was used after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine to sample the air over the Atlantic and was also used to detect seismic events associated with North Korea’s claim of a nuclear test in October 2006 and again in May 2009, the Pentagon told Alan Boyle of MSNBC.
The Constant Phoenix program was established in 1947 by General Dwight D. Eisenhower, ostensibly to detect atomic explosions anywhere in the world. It is serves as a collection platform for the Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC) at Patrick AFB, Florida. The 45th Reconnaissance Squadron at Offutt AFB, Nebraska, works closely with AFTAC.Air sampling missions are routinely conducted over the Far East, Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal, Mediterranean Sea, the Polar regions, and off the coasts of South America and Africa. Pakistan, India, and North Korea are of particular interest because they have nuclear programs.Maj. Chad Steffey told the reporter that a Constant Phoenix WC-135 would be sent to sample the air moving over Japan, supposedly in response to a Japanese government request. The planes would be brought from Offutt Air Force Base, Steffey said.A senior U.S. defense official told NBC News that Constant Phoenix’s involvement in the Japanese fiasco was absolutely a significant event. We are using it to help out a nation, the official said. It’s significant.More PR spin. The Pentagon moved to gauge the threat well before any supposed request by the Japanese government. It deployed its sophisticated technology – and that of the NRC and the NNSA (the National Nuclear Security Administration) – to size up the threat early on. The Pentagon acts on its own. It does not wait for requests from government, including our own Congress.In the United States, the EPA has a vast array of radiation detection stations. In California alone, there are twelve stations measuring air particulates, real-time gamma, and the contamination of milk and drinking water. It remains to be seen if the EPA will share this data with the American people.
RT report on latest developments.Recall the EPA dispensing misleading information following the false flag attacks of September 11, 2001, telling New Yorkers it was safe to breathe the air when reliable information on air quality was not available.
The Pentagon and the government know full well the extent of this unprecedented disaster — and it is far worse then they are telling us. They are not about to level with the American people, who will find out later this week and in the weeks ahead how severe and life threatening the situation is.As we reported over the weekend, the CIA’s USAID was dispatched to micromanage the release and spin of information on the disaster. Yoichi Shimatsu, the former editor of the Japan Times Weekly, told CCTV a large scale cover-up is unfolding.The CIA, through USAID, is running a disinfo campaign on Japan’s earthquake crippled nuclear facilities for geopolitical reasons. The Japanese people will ultimately suffer, as will millions of other people who happen to be downwind from the stricken plants,we wrote at the time.A video of Mr. Shimatsu’s interview was predictably memory holed at YouTube, the video site owned by CIA asset Google.
U.S. shows growing alarm over Japan nuclear crisis
By Jeff Mason and Tom Doggett - Thu Mar 17, 12:24 am ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States showed increasing alarm about Japan's nuclear crisis on Wednesday and urged its citizens to stay clear of an earthquake-crippled power plant, going further in its warnings than Japan itself.The State Department said the United States has chartered aircraft to help Americans leave Japan and had authorized the voluntary departure of family members of diplomatic staff in Tokyo, Nagoya and Yokohama -- about 600 people.The State Department strongly urges U.S. citizens to defer travel to Japan at this time and those in Japan should consider departing, it said.As operators of the Fukushima plant tried to douse overheating reactors, U.S. officials warned about the risks of getting anywhere near the area and relied on their own officials for details about the danger.The situation has deteriorated in the days since the tsunami and ... the situation has grown at times worse with potential greater damage and fallout from the reactor, White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters.
U.S. officials took pains not to criticize the Japanese government, which has shown signs of being overwhelmed by the crisis that began after last Friday's devastating 9.0 magnitude earthquake and resulting tsunami.But Washington's actions indicated a divide with the Japanese about the perilousness of the situation.U.S. President Barack Obama told Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan in a telephone call that the United States will do all it can to help Japan recover, the White House said.The president briefed Prime Minister Kan on the additional support being provided by the U.S., including specialized military assets with expertise in nuclear response and consequence management, it said in a statement.The State Department recommended that U.S. citizens within 50 miles of the plant leave the area or stay indoors.Japan's government has asked people living within 12 miles to evacuate and those between 12 miles and 18 miles to stay indoors.
PLUME OF RADIATION
Gregory Jaczko, the top U.S. nuclear regulator, cast doubt on efforts to cool overheating reactors, saying workers may be hit with lethal doses of radiation.It would be very difficult for emergency workers to get near the reactors, Jaczko said.
A United Nations forecast projects the radioactive plume from the Fukushima facility would reach the Aleutian Islands on Thursday and hit Southern California late on Friday, The New York Times reported.The projection, calculated on Tuesday and obtained by the newspaper, gives no information about actual radiation levels, it said. Health and nuclear experts emphasize that radiation in the plume will be diluted as it travels and will have extremely minor health consequences in the United States, it reported.The U.S. military has ordered its forces to stay 50 miles away from the plant, the Pentagon said. There are at least 55,000 members of the U.S. forces in Japan and offshore assisting the relief operation.All of us are heartbroken by the images of what's happening in Japan and we're reminded of how American leadership is critical to our closest allies,Obama said in Washington. Even if those allies are themselves economically advanced and powerful, there are moments where they need our help, and we're bound together by a common humanity.
CONFLICTING REPORTS
The State Department's warning to U.S. citizens was based on new information collected by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Department of Energy and other U.S. sources.The United States is trying to deploy equipment in Japan that can detect radiation exposure at ground level, U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu told a congressional hearing.The detection system is part of equipment and 39 personnel from the Energy Department sent to Japan, he said. It has also provided equipment to monitor airborne radiation.The United States is deploying more radiation monitors on Hawaii and other U.S. islands even though it does not expect harmful levels of radiation to reach U.S. soil, environmental regulators said.Chu declined to tell lawmakers, when asked, whether he was satisfied with Japan's response so far to its nuclear crisis.I can't really say. I think we hear conflicting reports, Chu said.This is one of the reasons why (the United States is) there with boots on the ground ... to know what is really happening.Beyond the risk to workers at or near the damaged nuclear plant, one scientist, Dr. Ira Helfand, warned of possible widespread contamination of people and land. We need ... to focus on the radioactive isotopes being dispersed at some distance from the plant, because this is going to cause a whole different set of health problems,Helfand, past president of the anti-nuclear group Physicians for Social Responsibility, said in a telephone briefing. The Obama administration has maintained its support for expanding U.S. use of nuclear energy despite renewed fears about its safety after the events in Japan.But Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday the crisis raised questions about the use of nuclear energy in the United States.What's happening in Japan raises questions about the costs and the risks associated with nuclear power but we have to answer those,she said in an interview with MSNBC in which she emphasized the need for a comprehensive U.S. energy policy.We get 20 percent of our energy right now in the United States from nuclear power.(Additional reporting by Ayesha Rascoe, David Morgan, Andrew Quinn, Paul Eckert, Matt Spetalnick, Alister Bull, Patricia Zengerle, Steve Holland, Deborah Zabarenko and Phil Stewart; Editing by Peter Cooney and John O'Callaghan)
Japan begins air drop on stricken reactor By ERIC TALMADGE and MARI YAMAGUCHI, Associated Press - MAR 16,11 11:45PM
ZAO, Japan – Japanese military helicopters dumped loads of seawater onto a stricken nuclear reactor Thursday, trying to avoid full meltdowns as plant operators said they were close to finishing a new power line that could restore cooling systems and ease the crisis.U.S. officials in Washington, meanwhile, warned that the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant in northeastern Japan may be on the verge of spewing more radioactive material because water was gone from a storage pool that keeps spent nuclear fuel rods from overheating.The troubles at several of the plant's reactors were set off when last week's earthquake and tsunami knocked out power and ruined backup generators needed for their cooling systems, adding a major nuclear crisis for Japan as it dealt with twin natural disasters that killed more than 10,000 people and left hundreds of thousands homeless.A Japanese military CH-47 Chinook helicopter began dumping seawater on the damaged reactor of Unit 3 at the Fukushima complex at 9:48 a.m., said defense ministry spokeswoman Kazumi Toyama. The aircraft dumped at least four loads on the reactor, though much of the water appeared to be dispersed in the wind.At least a dozen more loads were planned in the 40 minutes that each crew can operate before switching to limit radiation exposure, the ministry said.The dumping was intended both to help cool the reactor and to replenish water in a pool holding spent fuel rods, Toyama said. The plant's owner, Tokyo Electric Power Co., said earlier that the pool was nearly empty, which might cause the rods to overheat.
The comments from U.S. officials indicated there were similar problems at another unit of the Dai-ichi complex.U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko said at a congressional hearing in Washington that all the water was gone from a separate spent fuel pool at the plant's Unit 4. Japanese officials expressed similar worries about that unit, but that it was impossible to be sure of its status.
Emergency workers were forced to retreat from the plant Wednesday when radiation levels soared, losing precious time. They resumed work after radiation levels dropped, but much of the monitoring equipment in the plant is inoperable, complicating efforts to assess the situation.We are afraid that the water level at unit 4 is the lowest, said Hikaru Kuroda, facilities management official at Tokyo Electric Power Co. But he added, Because we cannot get near it, the only way to monitor the situation is visually from far away.The storage pools need a constant source of cooling water. Even when removed from reactors, the rods retain radioactivity and must be cooled for months, possibly longer, to prevent them from posing a threat of meltdown.Japanese officials raised hopes of easing the crisis earlier Thursday, saying that they may be close to bringing power back to the plant and restoring the reactors' cooling systems.The new power line would revive electric-powered pumps, allowing the company to control the rising temperatures and pressure that have led to at least partial meltdowns in three reactors. The company is also trying to repair its existing disabled power line.
Tokyo Electric Power spokesman Naoki Tsunoda said the new power line to the plant is almost finished and that officials plan to try it as soon as possible, but he could not say exactly when.Reflecting the state of alarm over the issue, Japan's 77-year-old emperor expressed deep concern in a rare unexpected television broadcast on Wednesday, saying I hope things will not get worse.He urged the Japanese to care for each other and not give up hope. Millions of lives were disrupted by the magnitude 9 earthquake and subsequent tsunami, which are believed to have killed more than 10,000 people.Nearly a week after the disaster, police said more than 452,000 were staying in schools and other shelters, as supplies of fuel, medicine and other necessities ran short. Both victims and aid workers appealed for more help.More than 4,300 people are officially listed as dead, but officials believe the toll will climb to well over 10,000. There is enough food, but no fuel or gasoline, said Yuko Niuma, 46, as she stood looking out over Ofunato harbor, where trawlers were flipped on their sides.The threat of nuclear disaster only added to Japanese misery and frustration.
The anxiety and anger being felt by people in Fukushima have reached a boiling point, the governor of Fukushima prefecture, Yuhei Sato, fumed in an interview with the Japanese television network NHK. He said evacuation preparations were inadequate, saying centers lacked enough hot meals and basic necessities.Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from a 20 kilometer (13 mile) radius around Fukushima Dai-ichi.A Cabinet spokesman, Noriyuki Shikata, said the government had no plans to expand the evacuation plan. But the U.S. Embassy issued an advisory urging all Americans living within 50 miles (80 kilometers) of the plant to leave the area or at least remain indoors.The chief of the U.N. nuclear agency, Yukiya Amano, said he would go to Japan to assess what he called a very serious situation and urged Tokyo to provide better information to his organization.Other countries have complained that Japan has been too slow and vague in releasing details about its rapidly evolving crisis at the complex of six reactors along Japan's northeastern coast.The 180 emergency workers who were working in shifts to manually pump seawater into the overheating reactors to cool them and stave off complete meltdowns were emerging as heroes as they persevered in circumstances in which no radiation suit could completely protect them.Japan's health ministry made what it called an unavoidable change Wednesday, more than doubling the amount of radiation to which the workers can be legally exposed.
I don't know any other way to say it, but this is like suicide fighters in a war, said Keiichi Nakagawa, associate professor of the Department of Radiology at University of Tokyo Hospital.The government asked special police units to bring in water cannons — usually used to quell rioters — to spray onto the spent fuel storage pool at unit 4.By deploying defense personnel and riot police, we're doing our best to tackle the situation by spraying water to cool down the reactors. We sincerely hope that this mission will go well, Shikata said.Elevated levels of radiation were detected well outside the 20-mile (30-kilometer) emergency area around the plants. In Ibaraki prefecture, just south of Fukushima, officials said radiation levels were about 300 times normal levels by late Wednesday morning. It would take three years of constant exposure to these higher levels to raise a person's risk of cancer. A little radiation has also been detected in Tokyo, triggering panic buying of food and water.Yamaguchi reported from Tokyo.

Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan — a dirty bomb waiting to go off
Mike Adams NaturalNews March 16, 2011
NaturalNews has received information directly from an American who happened to be in Tokyo at the time of the nuclear incident and who also happens to have a background in atomic energy and nuclear reactors. He has sent us some extremely disturbing information that seems to indicate the situation with the reactors in Japan is far, far worse than what the conventional media is describing. We are not releasing this individual’s name for obvious reasons (he’s still in Tokyo and virtually unreachable), but he is an individual who is known to me personally and with whom I have spent a considerable number of hours over a period of two years. He is a very high-integrity individual and someone who is also extremely well connected in the world of advanced medicine.In an email sent from Tokyo, this individual explains:
…nuclear reactors use bundles of enriched uranium packed into stainless steel fuel rods in order to generate the heat that drives the turbines. You need to keep these bundles of pins cool otherwise they melt or burst.Now, it seems the Fukushima power plant pulled spent fuel bundles (a collection of fuel rods) and stored them on site rather than shipping them to another location. Speculation is that in addition to the fires that are damaging the working reactor, these storage areas of their spent fuel bundles could [now] be on fire. This vastly compounds the problem of any meltdown, as this spent fuel will add to the contamination [because] it is extremely toxic.In other words, as well as dealing with a potential meltdown, you also have the toxic products from the depleted fuel pins adding to the pollution. This is extraordinarily bad. The spent fuel bundles should have been relocated away from the reactor core a long, long time ago. Given the earthquake realities of Japan, these reactor building were basically dirty bombs waiting to be set off by a [natural] disaster.I want to thank this individual for his continued reporting from Tokyo and assure him that if he chooses to send more information to NaturalNews, we will of course continue to protect his anonymity.
Nuclear plant becomes dirty bomb waiting to go off
The upshot of his assessment of the situation is that the Fukushima power plant is now a dirty bomb waiting to happen. And it’s on fire right now. Radiation levels are rising so rapidly that it’s not even safe to work near the plant. This is very rapidly headed into a situation where suicidal volunteers are going to have to rush in and do some work on the plant, spend only a few minutes there, then evacuate as quickly as possible. And they’ll still get cancer.This is exactly what happened in Chernobyl following the accident there in 1987. Hundreds of brave volunteers basically committed suicide in order to erect the containment vessel over the melted-down reactor and thereby prevent further radiation from escaping directly into the environment.As Wikipedia explains (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherno…):The worst of the radioactive debris was collected inside what was left of the reactor, much of it shoveled in by liquidators wearing heavy protective gear (dubbed bio-robots by the military); these workers could only spend a maximum of 40 seconds at a time working on the rooftops of the surrounding buildings because of the extremely high doses of radiation given off by the blocks of graphite and other debris. The reactor itself was covered with bags containing sand, lead, and boric acid dropped from helicopters (some 5,000 metric tons during the week following the accident). By December 1986 a large concrete sarcophagus had been erected, to seal off the reactor and its contents. Many of the vehicles used by the liquidators remain parked in a field in the Chernobyl area to this day, most giving off doses of 10-30 R/h (0.7-2 uA/kg) over 25 years after the disaster.
Far worse than a terrorism attack
This could be very similar to what we’re headed toward in Japan if the people there don’t get this situation under control very quickly. Terrorists couldn’t have carried out a more deadly disaster than what the scientific nuclear power industry has now delivered to the people of Japan.In the name of scientific progress, the Japanese people are now threatened with the worst kind of death: Death by radiation poisoning — a slow, suffering breakdown of cellular function at every level. And sadly, Japan has already suffered through a similar scenario near the end of World War II when the United States of America dropped atomic bombs on the civilian Japanese population… twice! What frightens me in all this is the choice of words from our source who describes the Fukushima site as a dirty bomb just waiting to go off. There’s a lesson in all this, of course: When you play God with the planet, it might be wise to follow the precautionary principle more closely. This nuclear catastrophe is a mirror image of what we’re likely to see in the future of agriculture due to GMOs (genetically engineered seeds). GE seeds are the genetic dirty bombs of agriculture, and they too could devastate human civilization in much the same way that nuclear power now threatens the very survival of an entire nation.
But too many scientists are infinitely arrogant, it seems, and they rarely consider the consequences of their dangerous actions. On all the issues that matter — GMOs and seeds, synthetic chemicals, cell phone radiation, nuclear power, fluoride in the water, mercury fillings and much more — science has delivered suffering and death, not lasting progress. Thanks to these scientists who convince governments to take on nuclear power, GMOs, vaccines or pharmaceuticals, our world is now facing a multi-faceted life extinction crisis that threatens the very future of life on our planet. And Bill Gates thinks the answer is more vaccines! (Insane? You betcha…)The lessons to be learned from Fukushima are the same lessons humanity needs to learn on many other fronts: Don’t think you are so brilliant that you can outsmart Mother Nature and the laws of cause and effect. Science is no panacea. Science makes too many promises that it cannot keep (Improved crop yields! Clean energy! Amazing vaccines!), and when nations embrace these so-called scientific solutions, ultimately they only receive death, fear and financial destruction.For instance, the pharmaceutical industry has done to the U.S. economy what the Fukushima power plant is about to do to Japan. The promises we were given in the name of science and medicine have all blown up in our faces, leaving only a desolate landscape of destruction and misery in their wake.It is time we all began to seriously question our faith in the false promises of science and instead started to look at more holistic and humble solutions for sustainable life on our planet.The Amish way of life, for example, may not look high-tech and cool, but it doesn’t explode in your face and irradiate your whole country, either. And the Amish do just fine without vaccines, too (and they have near-zero rates of autism, by the way).
