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.

According to citizen’s organization for Fukushima effect, 6,000 Bq/body was measured from a child in Da-te city. The child has been living in Da-te city since 311.

Da-te city government conducted whole body counter test for children.

Also, according to the survey by dosimeter (Glass badge), the annual external dose is up to 5mSv/y in Da-te city.

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.

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.

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.
