Study: Fukushima radiation fallout has devastated health of US babies on West Coast and in other areas
Study: Fukushima radiation fallout has devastated health of US babies on West Coast and in other areas
NaturalNews) New peer-reviewed research published in the Open Journal of Pediatrics raises fresh concerns about the health effects of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster on American children and babies. As has long been suspected by those with an understanding of the widespread reach of radioactive fallout from Fukushima, newborns living in California, Hawaii, Washington, and other West Coast states appear to have been directly affected by Fukushima fallout in a serious way, which is reflected by the disproportionate rate of hypothyroidism observed amongst this demographic.

US soldiers sue over Fukushima radiation exposure - health - 22 March 2013 - New Scientist
US soldiers sue over Fukushima radiation exposure - health - 22 March 2013 - New Scientist
Fukushima's financial fallout is far from over. US military personnel and their families are seeking $2 billion in damages for illnesses they believe were caused by the nuclear plant's meltdown. They allege that the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the plant's operator, misrepresented the amount of radiation present when it accepted US military assistance to deal with the crisis.
Soldiers aboard the USS Ronald Reagan, which rerouted from Korea to assist after reactors at Fukushima went into meltdown in 2011, have filed a lawsuit against TEPCO in the District Court for the Southern District of California. So far, 24 people are claiming damages, but Paul Garner, a lawyer based in San Diego, California, who is representing the plaintiffs, says that the 70,000 US military personnel and families stationed in or near Japan at the time could be party to the suit if they wish.
The plaintiffs claim that the Fukushima radiation leak caused leukaemias, testicular cancer, vision problems and gynaecological bleeding, among other illnesses.

Fukushima survivors seek restitution after 2011 disaster | Japan | Asia Daily Wire
Thousands of people affected by the Fukushima nuclear crisis in Japan have filed a class action lawsuit demanding greater efforts to restore the contaminated region, as Japan marks the second anniversary of the March 11 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
About 1,650 plaintiffs filed the case with the Fukushima District Court, demanding 50,000 yen ($520) a month each from the government and Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) until the area is restored, their lawyers said in a statement.
“Through this case, we seek restitution of the region to the condition before radioactive materials contaminated the area, and demand compensation for psychological pains until the restitution is finished,” the statement said.

Fukushima debris hits Hawaii — RT
Fukushima debris hits Hawaii — RT
Debris set adrift by the 2011 Japanese tsunami has made its way to Hawaii, triggering concerns over the unknown effects of the radiation it may carry from the meltdown of the Fukushima reactor.
Debris has washed ashore the islands of Oahu and Kauai and the state’s Department of Health has been asked to test some of the incoming material for radiation levels. Refrigerator parts, oyster buoys, housing insulation, storage bins, soda bottles, toys, fishing nets, plastic trash cans and even Japanese net boats have all washed up on Hawaiian sands in the past few weeks, triggering serious environmental concerns over both water pollution and radiation exposure.
Long-term exposure to radiation can cause cancer, gene mutations, premature aging and in severe cases, death. The consequences of the influx of debris are unknown, causing local agencies to advocate precaution in picking up the Japanese debris.

New Fairewinds Video: Tepco reveals “detonation shock wave” during massive explosion at Fukushima Unit 3 (PHOTO & VIDEO)
New Fairewinds Video: Tepco reveals “detonation shock wave” during massive explosion at Fukushima Unit 3 (PHOTO & VIDEO)
Nuclear Expert Arnie Gundersen, Fairewinds Energy Education: What’s really important is the words at the bottom of slide number 19 by Tokyo Electric. Tokyo Electric acknowledges that this was a detonation.
Now if you’ll recall a detonation is a shock wave that travels faster than the speed of sound and no one is designing containments to withstand a detonation shock wave.
So I’m pleased actually that Tokyo Electric has finally agreed with me. That his was a detonation shock wave and not a deflagration like in Unit 1.
So I think the first important thing for the NRC to admit is that containments leak. The second thing is they can explode with a detonation shock wave.

Escape to Okinawa

Fukushima fallout refugees meet at Naminoue beach in Okinawa
THREE days after Japan's biggest-ever earthquake and its colossal shock waves pummeled Fukushima's coast, reducing the TEPCO Daiichi nuclear plant to radioactive wreckage, Mari Takenouchi cycled frantically through East Tokyo with her baby strapped on her back.
The Tokyo-born translator had set aside a small window of time to do last-minute errands before she and her one-year-old son fled to the Okinawa islands – Japan's southernmost prefecture, 2000 kilometres south of the unfolding crisis. En route to the airport, she rushed to get to a dentist appointment, taking her baby with her.

Newspaper: Japanese evacuating country because of radiation — “Passport issuance growing sharply” — “Increase is attracting attention”
Newspaper: Japanese evacuating country because of radiation — “Passport issuance growing sharply” — “Increase is attracting attention”
New figures reveal the number of Japanese leaving their homeland for a life abroad has more than tripled in the wake of last year’s earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident. [...]
Next year the number is likely to climb further, as travel industry research indicates passport issuance is growing sharply.
Worries about radiation, predictions of another devastating quake and diminishing opportunities in Japan’s economically depressed and rapidly ageing society are driving young families and singles and wealthy retirees abroad.
In insular and conservative Japan, this increase is attracting attention. [...]
Foreigners tended to assume Japan had bounced back from the triple disaster, and in some areas that was true. But many Japanese now had, for the first time, a deep distrust of their government. [...]

Fish caught near Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant have radiation levels 100 times higher than normal, officials say.
Japan's Environment Ministry carried out a study that found fish caught near the plant had more radiation than fish caught elsewhere, RIA Novosti reported.
The levels found ranged from 4,400 becquerels per kilogram to 11,400 becquerels per kilogram, against the maximum "safe" level of 100 becquerels per kilogram.

Activist Post: Report reveals Japanese nuclear safety experts received large sums of money from nuclear industry
Activist Post: Report reveals Japanese nuclear safety experts received large sums of money from nuclear industry
While the “profoundly man-made disaster” at the Fukushima nuclear power plant continues unabated with independent experts continually blocked from gaining access, it has now been revealed that the six members of a Japanese government team drafting the new nuclear reactor safety standards have received tens of thousands of dollars from the nuclear industry.
According to a report put out by Japan’s Kyodo News a whopping four out of six experts on the panel drafting new safety standards have received funds from companies directly involved in the nuclear industry.
The grants, donations and compensation range from 3 million yen (around $37,290) to over 27 million yen (around $335,600) each, according to data released by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA).
While the NRA claimed that the members of the panel “have been selected in line with rules, and there should be no problem,” Kyodo News rightly points out that critics “say the members’ judgments might be swayed by the wishes of donors, exposing safety regulations to the risk of being watered down.”

Kyodo: Water at Fukushima Unit 1 is more radioactive OUTSIDE containment vessel than inside
Kyodo: Water at Fukushima Unit 1 is more radioactive OUTSIDE containment vessel than inside
The water is more radioactive outside the Primary Containment Vessel than inside — then where is the melted fuel more likely to be, outside the PCV or inside?
Nuclear Engineer Arnie Gundersen on Unit 1 in July 2012: “Tepco ran a probe into the basement of Unit 1. This is not inside the containment, this is outside the containment. On the top of the water surface they found lethal radiation, 1000 rem an hour. But then they put the probe down into the water and what’s even worse is the bottom, the sediment on the bottom, was thousand of times hotter than that. And what that indicates is that fuel, nuclear fuel, has left the containment, as particles, and settled out on the bottom outside the containment.”

New Japan nuclear reactor prompts local debate | Featured Articles | Asia Daily Wire
Plans to restart construction of a nuclear reactor in Aomori Prefecture, about 500km northeast of Tokyo, was met by contradicting sentiments from the host town and surrounding cities, Asahi Shimbun reports.
Electric Power Development Co. president, Masoyashi Kitamura, reiterated the significance of resuming construction of a nuclear plant in Oma during a town assembly. The Oma plant plans to use “mixed oxide (MOX) fuel” from reprocessed spent nuclear fuel to generate power, the world’s first nuclear plant to do so. “The Oma nuclear plant is an important power plant that will play a part in the nuclear fuel cycle,” Kitamura said.

WASHINGTON, Sep 6, 2012 -- UPI
U.S. military and civilian exposure to radiation from the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster in Japan wasn't high enough to make them sick, the Pentagon said.
The highest radiation dose estimates were on bases in Sendai, about 50 miles from the nuclear power plant, military officials said. where adults may have received doses of up to 0.12 rem of radiation to their bodies and 1.2 rem in their thyroids. Doses at other bases generally were lower than at Sendai.
