Hi All,
Any new ( 2014 ) news on the Fukushima disaster...?

Randy
PS I heard its 10 times worst than Chernobyl
with a increasing threat to go 50 times worst than Chernobyl to
the end of mankind ( exaggeration ).

A Canadian high school student named Bronwyn Delacruz never imagined that her school science project would make headlines all over the world. But that is precisely what has happened. Using a $600 Geiger counter purchased by her father, Delacruz measured seafood bought at local grocery stores for radioactive contamination. What she discovered was absolutely stunning. Much of the seafood, particularly the products that were made in China, tested very high for radiation. So is this being caused by nuclear radiation from Fukushima? Is the seafood that we are eating going to give us cancer and other diseases? The American people deserve the truth, but as you will see below, the U.S. and Canadian governments are not even testing imported seafood for radiation. To say that this is deeply troubling would be a massive understatement.

In fact, what prompted Bronwyn Delacruz to conduct her science project was the fact that the Canadian government stopped testing imported seafood for radiation in 2012…

Alberta high-school student Bronwyn Delacruz loves sushi, but became concerned last summer after learning how little food inspection actually takes place on some of its key ingredients.

The Grade 10 student from Grande Prairie said she was shocked to discover that, in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) stopped testing imported foods for radiation in 2012.

And what should be a major red flag for authorities is the fact that the seafood with the highest radiation is coming from China…

Armed with a $600 Geiger counter bought by her dad, Delacruz studied a variety of seafoods – particularly seaweeds – as part of an award-winning science project that she will take to a national fair next month.

“Some of the kelp that I found was higher than what the International Atomic Energy Agency sets as radioactive contamination, which is 1,450 counts over a 10-minute period,” she said. “Some of my samples came up as 1,700 or 1,800.”

Delacruz said the samples that “lit up” the most wereproducts from China that she bought in local grocery stores.

It is inexcusable that the Canadian government is not testing this seafood. It isn’t as if they don’t know that it is radioactive. Back in 2012, the Vancouver Sun reported that cesium-137 was being found in a very high percentage of the fish that Japan was selling to Canada…

• 73 percent of the mackerel

• 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

So why was radiation testing for seafood shut down in Canada in 2012?

Someone out there needs to answer some very hard questions.

Meanwhile, PBS reporter Miles O’Brien has pointed out the extreme negligence of the U.S. government when it comes to testing seafood for Fukushima radiation. The following comes from a recent EcoWatch article…

O’Brien also introduces us to scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute who have been testing waters around the reactors—as well as around the Pacific Rim—to confirm the levels of Fukushima fallout, especially of cesium.

These scientists are dedicated and competent. But they are also being forced to do this investigation on their own, raising small amounts of money from independent sources. They were, explains lead scientist Ken Buesseler, turned down for even minimal federal support by five agencies key to our radiation protection. Thus, despite a deep and widespread demand for this information, no federal agency is conducting comprehensive, on-the-ground analyses of how much Fukushima radiation has made its way into our air and oceans.

In fact, very soon after Fukushima began to blow, President Obama assured the world that radiation coming to the U.S. would be minuscule and harmless. He had no scientific proofthat this would be the case. And as O’Brien’s eight-minute piece shows all too clearly, the “see no evil, pay no damages” ethos is at work here. The government is doing no monitoring of radiation levels in fish, and information on contamination of the ocean is almost entirely generated by underfunded researchers like Buesseler.

A video news report in which O’Brien discusses these issues is posted below

It is the job of the authorities to keep us safe, and the Fukushima nuclear disaster was the worst nuclear disaster in human history.

So why aren’t they doing testing?

Why aren’t they checking to make sure that this radiation is not getting into our food chain?

The Japanese are doing testing off the coast of Japan, and one fish that was recently caught off the coast of the Fukushima prefecture was discovered to have124 times the safe level of radioactive cesium.

So why are all the authorities in North America just assuming that the fish are going to be perfectly fine on this side of the Pacific?

One test that was conducted in California discovered that 15 out of 15 Bluefin tuna were contaminated with radiation from Fukushima.

So how can the authorities say “don’t worry, just eat the seafood”?

Everyone agrees that a plume of radioactive water has been moving from Fukushima toward the west coast of the United States.

According to researchers at the University of South Wales, that plume is going to hit our shores at some point during 2014…

The first radioactive ocean plume released by the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster will finally be reaching the shores of the United States some time in 2014, according to a new study from the University of New South Wales — a full three or so years after the date of the disaster.

And multiple independent tests have already confirmed that levels of nuclear radiation are being detected on California beaches that are more than 10 times the normal level.
Clearly something is happening.
So why are the U.S. and Canadian governments willingly looking the other way?

From what I understand, three of the reactor cores have melted through the bottoms of the reactor buildings, the ground around the buildings is cracking and steam is rising from the cracks. This means that the fissionable material is reaching the water table.

Get ready guys

I don't think it will be as obvious as what has been stated but there is going to be a big problem. The emissions in the air are already rising, I hope there isn't another explosive event.

This could have been avoided, at Chernobyl they tunneled beneath the reactor to prevent this very thing, it should have been done here but it wasn't.

At Chernobyl the fissionable materials mixed with molten sand diluting the mix producing a glass like material. The same will be happening at Fukushima and this is what they are counting on, but if this gets into wet substrates there could be another hydrogen explosion.

We know the materials have reached damp substrates as there is steam rising carrying radioactive isotopes. We know that hydrogen and oxygen are being produced in perfect combustible amounts from the water that is in contact materials. We know that these are burning adding to the heat produced by the fission reactions. We know the rock and soil will become saturated with this hydrogen/oxygen mix.

The question is will the fissionable materials become diluted enough to begin to solidify like they did in Chernobyl before a hydrogen explosion occurs?

During all this time gaseous radioactive isotopes are being released to the air, some of these will re solidify and precipitate out relatively close to the plant. Some will travel further and contaminate the rest of the planet.

If we get a hydrogen explosion we will get a large dose of these materials in a short period of time.

I believe their plan is to allow this process to continue hoping that we don't get an explosion. As radiation levels rise over the planet they will increase the safety levels for radiation exposure, something they have already done several times. The hope is that we will not notice or complain too much about the poisoning of our planet while they avoid the costs of dealing with the problem. An explosion would result in more public objection and derail their nuclear expansion program.

Already we have seen the nuclear powers distribute their nuclear waste over vast regions via the use of depleted uranium weapons. This has been deemed a good way to deal with the long term storage problem.

To these people making a fast buck now is more important than the risks that they are exposing themselves to, so don't think they will consider you.

Most people are more concerned about their own financial problems, and so give little thought to this, but the solution is to fix both. We have to expose the plan and who is behind it.

The people behind this, the wars and the financial crisis are the same. They are also behind the poisons in the food. GMO's, vaccines and medical system. This is the scale of our problem.
