TEPCO Admits Fukushima Radiation Levels Reach Record Highs As Hole In Reactor Discovered
TEPCO Admits Fukushima Radiation Levels Reach Record Highs As Hole In Reactor Discovered With just 3 years left until the 2020 Olympics, Japan is likely desperate to reassure the world’s athletes that all is well, but an admission from TEPCO – the Fukushima nuclear plant operator – that they discovered a hole at least one square meter in […]
In Fukushima, A Bitter Legacy Of Radiation, Trauma and Fear
In Fukushima, A Bitter Legacy Of Radiation, Trauma and Fear Five years after the nuclear power plant meltdown, a journey through the Fukushima evacuation zone reveals some high levels of radiation and an overriding sense of fear. For many, the psychological damage is far more profound than the health effects. Christopher Furlong/Getty Images A radiation monitoring […]
Five Years After Fukushima, 16 U.S. Cleanup Ships Are Still Contaminated With Radiation
Five Years After Fukushima, 16 U.S. Cleanup Ships Are Still Contaminated With Radiation The Fukushima disaster was over five years ago, and may have been largely forgotten by the general public and the media (perhaps because the Japanese olympics are just four years from now), but its effects still linger. Perhaps nowhere more so than […]
Leaking Beachfront Nuclear Reactor Near Miami Threatening Florida Everglades
Leaking Beachfront Nuclear Reactor Near Miami Threatening Florida Everglades (ANTIMEDIA) Biscayne Bay, FL —According to a study released by Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez on Monday, the waters of Biscayne Bay measured 215 times the level of radioactive tritium as is found in normal ocean water. Tritium is a radioactive isotope traceable to nuclear plant cooling […]
Five Years After Fukushima, ‘No End in Sight’ to Ecological Fallout
Five Years After Fukushima, ‘No End in Sight’ to Ecological Fallout The environmental impacts of the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster are already becoming apparent, according to a new analysis from Greenpeace Japan, and for humans and other living things in the region, there is “no end in sight” to the ecological fallout. The report warns that […]
Radiation Alert: L.A. Gas Well Spewing LETHAL LEVELS Of Breathable Nuclear Material: “Fukushima Class Disaster”
Radiation Alert: L.A. Gas Well Spewing LETHAL LEVELS Of Breathable Nuclear Material: “Fukushima Class Disaster” In a breaking development that has been completely ignored by mainstream news sources, the leaking natural gas well near Los Angeles, California is now reportedly spewing lethal levels of radioactive material, according to a report from Steve Quayleand a group with expertise in […]
Declassified U.S. Government Report Prepared a Week After Fukushima Accident: “100% of The Total Spent Fuel Was Released to the Atmosphere from Unit 4”
Declassified U.S. Government Report Prepared a Week After Fukushima Accident: “100% of The Total Spent Fuel Was Released to the Atmosphere from Unit 4” We reported in 2011 that the International Atomic Energy Agency knew within weeks that Fukushima had melted down … but failed and refused to tell the public. The same year, we reported in […]
TEPCO Admits Fukushima Radiation Leaks Have Spiked Sharply
TEPCO Admits Fukushima Radiation Leaks Have Spiked Sharply Just weeks after the completion (and failure) of one supposed ‘containment’ wall (and as the construction of the “ice wall” begins), TEPCO, the operator of the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, has admitted that the levels of radioactivity in underground tunnels has risen sharply (4000x last year’s levels). As NHKWorld reports, TEPCO officials […]
Fukushima Radiation in Pacific Reaches West Coast
Fukushima Radiation in Pacific Reaches West Coast “[W]e should be carefully monitoring the oceans after what is certainly the largest accidental release of radioactive contaminants to the oceans in history,” marine chemist Ken Buesseler said last spring. Instead, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency halted its emergency radiation monitoring of Fukushima’s radioactive plume in May 2011, three months […]
“Radiation is Good for You!” and Other Tall Tales of the Nuclear Industry
“Radiation is Good for You!” and Other Tall Tales of the Nuclear Industry The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is considering a move to eliminate the “Linear No-Threshold” (LNT) basis of radiation protection that the U.S. has used for decades and replace it with the “radiation hormesis” theory—which holds that low doses of radioactivity are good […]
Fukushima: Thousands Have Already Died, Thousands More Will Die
Fukushima: Thousands Have Already Died, Thousands More Will Die Official data from Fukushima show that nearly 2,000 people died from the effects of evacuations necessary to avoid high radiation exposures from the disaster. The uprooting to unfamiliar areas, cutting of family ties, loss of social support networks, disruption, exhaustion, poor physical conditions and disorientation can and […]
The Perfectly Nasty Ocean Storm
The Perfectly Nasty Ocean Storm The oceans of the world are currently experiencing a “perfect storm” that is nasty, real nasty with too much warming, too much acidification, too much CO2, too much fishing, too many chemicals, too much Ag runoff, too much radiation (Fukushima), and too little ice (Arctic Ocean) bringing on too much […]
Is Fukushima Getting Worse?
Is Fukushima Getting Worse? Straight Disaster The Fukushima multiple nuclear disasters continue spewing out hot stuff like there’s no tomorrow. By all appearances, it is getting worse, out-of-control nuclear meltdowns. On June 19th Tepco reported the highest-ever readings of strontium-90 outside of the Fukushima plant ports. The readings were 1,000,000 Bq/m3 of strontium-90 at two locations near […]
What’s Really Going on at Fukushima?
What’s Really Going on at Fukushima? The Real Story Fukushima’s still radiating, self-perpetuating, immeasurable, and limitless, like a horrible incorrigible Doctor Who monster encounter in deep space. Fukushima will likely go down in history as the biggest cover-up of the 21st Century. Governments and corporations are not leveling with citizens about the risks and dangers; similarly, truth itself, as an […]
West Coast of North America to be Slammed by 2016 with 80% As Much Fukushima Radiation As Japan
West Coast of North America to be Slammed by 2016 with 80% As Much Fukushima Radiation As Japan A professor from Japan’s Fukushima University Institute of Environmental Radioactivity (Michio Aoyama) told Kyodo in April that the West Coast of North America will be hit with around 800 terabecquerels of Cesium- 137 by 2016. EneNews notes that […]
