US sailors claim radiation sickness

US sailors claim radiation sickness from Fukushima rescue

USS Ronald ReaganThe law suit states TEPCO downplayed the nuclear radiation danger until it was too late.
According to the suit, radiation experts who assisted in the decontamination say the USS Ronald Reagan sailed straight into a plume of radioactivity, which contaminated the ship’s water supply. Crew members washed, brushed their teeth and drank potentially contaminated water.
The law suit claims active and former sailors are suffering from cancer, blindness, impotence, and fatigue as a result of the radiation exposure.
The original lawsuit was dismissed because of jurisdictional confusion, but attorneys say they have retooled the lawsuit and will refile Jan 6.
They are suing TEPCO for unspecified damages.

FUKUSHIMA: an ELE, Extinction Level Event

Fukushima Equals 6,000 Hiroshima Bombs Today, More Tomorrow

There is No Place On Earth to Escape the Rad 

  by Bob Nichols

(San Francisco) I received this Email with some Fukushima questions about a week ago. Now we have the Death of a Nation on 9/11 and the Death of the Earth on 3/11/11. Hmm, some bookends for us.

A good friend said:
“I won’t allow nuclear power to stop me from the right to go outside, to walk or hike, to travel or to breathe. I witnessed the activities of members of a Japanese community who dissolved radiation through the process of giving light. I know you say there is no evidence of that but I know it to be true. The group is called Mahakari No Wasa, (hope I spelled it correctly). You might look them up on the net.
I know it can be done. All I can say about nuclear waste is that I know within me that nothing has power over me unless I give power to it. I may die sooner but I will have lived my life.
Thanks for the copy of your Fukushima report. I know you are making a difference in the world. Keep up the work but remember, we must have hope.”

“WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO AND SAY TO REACH PEOPLE??!!”

“Your articles have been widely circulated in various social media outlets about #Fukushima and the horrific #nuclear horrors we collectively face.  It seems that the ‘Pro-Nuker Propaganda Machinery’ is ampped up in full force, and unbelievably, re-cycling old lies from 2011, with a wide audience and larger group of ….. movers of their distractions and deceptions.”

“Several people who have heard about Fukushima since the early days are puzzled that so many are “still alive”. Others, in addition to the psychopaths who apparently believe themselves to be immune from radiation poisoning, are those of the EXTEND AND PRETEND strongholds of delusions and galactic thought, along with the ‘end of times’ crowd expecting clouds to part and higher beings to ride in and ‘save us’.”
In “What are Efforts to Contain Fukushima? None” you stated: “You are going to have to make your own choices. You will live a little longer, or, die sooner by these choices, as will I. No one is exempt. The Radioactive Particles are all over the world now….”

“WHAT’S NEXT?  Friends, virtual and non-virtually, have said and asked things like: “

Questions:
“Question.   In basic math terms, in comparison to Hiroshima, how much worse is Fukushima and why?”
Answer: Fukushima, now, equals the detonation of 5,910.11 Hiroshima Atomic Bombs or it’s about 6,000 Times worse than the A-Bombing of Japan; and, it is still going strong, with no end in sight. That is equal to 6.45 Hiroshima Atomic Bombs a Day for 916 Days. There are only 336 cities on Earth with more than One Million people. That is the equivalent of 17.5 Hiroshima Atomic Bombs apiece.
“Question.   In basic math terms, in comparison to Nagasaki, how much worse is Fukushima and why?”
Answer. The Nagasaki Bomb was slightly larger; therefore Fukushima equals slightly fewer Nagasaki  Bombs. However, at this point, it makes no difference.
“Question.  In basic math terms, in comparison to Chernobyl, how much worse is Fukushima and why?”
Answer. At 916 days of growth Fukushima is 14.75 Times bigger than the Chernobyl atomic disaster in 1986.
The International Atomic Agency (IAEA) stated: “The accident at Chernobyl was approximately 400 times more potent than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima…” Fukushima so far is 14.75 Times worse than Chernobyl and growing.
“Question. In basic non-scientific language, what causes this to be an ELE, Extinction Level Event, and is there any shot at it being reversible?”
Answer. Throughout the time humans lived on Earth, humanity has never experienced radiation this high. The radiation and its associated Lethality is very high and will kill everybody. The Radiation’s Lethality will last well past the end of every one’s lifetime. No, there is no shot at reversing the effects and every human on Earth is included.
“Question. How long before we are tripping and stumbling over dead-dying bodies?”
2020 Tokyo Olympics Welcome
2020 Tokyo Olympics Welcome
Answer. In a sense we already are. Human fetuses are the first to die and are typically cremated at the hospital. We just don’t see them. Women, children, already sick people and the elderly infirm are next. Middle aged men are last.
“Question. Anything you recommend to lengthen ‘shortened-life spans’??”
Answer. “No.”
Question. Any resources you would direct interested people to?
Answer. “No.”
Question.  What other questions must be asked when confronted with an Extinction Level Event, and why have any hope whatsoever?”
Answer. Ask what is the published lethality of the all of the released isotopes and do not let the Empire paid trolls fool you by using radioactivity numbers; it is the LETHALITY that counts. When you find the numbers for the two Cesium Twins multiply by 14 for the Total radiation in a single release from an active reactor core. Multiply the combined Cesium137/134 radioactivity numbers by 5 for the Total radioactivity in a single release for old fuel rods. Those will give you a rough idea of the radiation released for that instance.
As for “hope,” that is fine, knock yourself out.

Who Really Runs Fukushima Daiichi?

Who Really Runs Fukushima Daiichi?

pointing-man
Much has been made about the contractor system at Fukushima Daiichi, the worker abuses and cut rate construction. This only looks at one aspect of the contractor system at the plant. Tasks like tank construction have been given out to layers of subcontractors but these subcontractors only do some of the work at the plant. Much of the work falls to what are called prime contractors. These are companies like Toshiba, Hitachi-GE or Kajima. The work they do at the plant is much more significant and frequently flies under the radar.
TEPCO reports work done at the plant including some of the dangerous inspection work to attempt to gain information about the melted down reactors. TEPCO rarely says exactly who is doing this work, if they are TEPCO employees or prime contractors. Workers Happy and Sunny both worked for prime contractors at Daiichi. Both mentioned over time the nature of the projects they worked on including varioius efforts to run scopes into the reactor buildings and efforts to clean off units 3 and 4. These two workers were at the plant through the initial disaster but have reached their maximum exposure this year so they are no longer involved in the hands on work at the plant.
Greenpeace has called for “GE” to be held accountable for the flawed design of the reactors at Fukushima Daiichi. This seems to ignore the reality that “GE” is still there and largely in charge of the disaster response and profiting off of it.
