Results of ACRO’s [Association pour le Contrôle de la Radioactivité dans l’Ouest] monitoring in Japan, December 15, 2011:
- Evacuation is a way to reduce contamination
- For the first time, we found a contamination of the urine of a child in Tokyo
- Homes are also significantly contaminated in Ichinoseki in Iwate province to the north and in Kashiwa in Chiba to the south, situated in the northern suburbs of Tokyo — In both cities, located about 200 km of the plant, contaminated dust is nearly 6,000 becquerels per kilogram

6000bq/kg in the air when it only takes 50bq/kg of internal exposure to cause lesions and tissue decay. The levels of contamination in Tokyo are cause enough to evacuate. If children are already showing signs of radiation in their urine than there is going to be a severe health crisis in the next few months if people don’t find a safe place with less than 100bq/kg in the air at the very least.

the dust is the biggest problem mentioned on this report! i believe.. its the smoking gun! so few tests.. so many results!
why the main stream media will not touch this i have no idea!! unless theyve been told not too!! its prretty big!! 600 km from daichi? blimey times two!! but thats the nature of fallout!
and its criminal to not let us know while taking our money to pay for it… and charging us for illness caused by it!!
nice buisness model but where does it take us all??

I have a hypothesis. My guess is your average “journalist” knows so little about radiation they have NO IDEA how to understand or interpret the information. Most of them look like/write like they hardly know how to tie their shoes, much less compose a decently written news article, much less do the fact checking necessary to write said article.
The “lame stream media” isn’t called that for nothing!
For the most part, journalism is dead.

Add to that, most probably can’t think their way out of a paper bag. Sorry if I’ve offended anyone, but the level of professionalism in international journalism is for the most part appalling.

Horrible
Yesterday, a local paper, The Hendersonville Tribune, had this on the Front Page:
“Med Journal says 14,000 U.S. deaths may be tied to Fukushima”.
It cited the study by Joeseph J. Mangano and Janette D. Sherman, and another study (available on amazon.com)
“Fukushima and Health: What to Expect”. The last line of the article quotes from that book:
“And the main instrument that has been used for this [cover-up by the nuke lobby] is the radiation risk model of the International Commission on Radiological Protection, the ICRP. But as far as scientific evidence goes, the simplistic ICRP risk model is now bankrupt.”
I thought I was seeing things! It may not be Mainstream, but they did it! This paper is all over town. The Tribune’s tag-line: “Defending the people’s right to know”
Seeing this on a front page was a bittersweet victory, but I’m very pleased to know there are still extant some journalists with integrity and courage. How many locals will have noticed, or will still deny the truth?
I’m going to write the Tribune and thank them, and point them to enenews!

Tough call. They are probably getting whacked on multiple vectors by now with contamination coming in on vehicles, food, weather, and incineration. Mushrooms are a food that would be a high cesium concentrator. But, so much seafood is consumed in Japan that my prime suspect would be seaweed and laver due to the area where the seaweed is likely to be harvested.

Bravo pour ce site ! L’idée de l’agenda est très bonne. J’espère qu’il y aura une vérification auprès d’Asako, pour que nous soyons sûrs que la majorité de ces cartes postales ont bien été envoyées.

Prediction:
Look around at your friends and relatives in the Northern Hemisphere who are downwinders of Honshu. Since this horrible industrial accident is not a one day atomic bomb blast…we are all downwinders as the radiation swirls around the globe, recircling every week and reinfused with constant daily injections of new releases. Fukushima Daiichi is the atomic bomb that never stops…
1 in 5 humans in the Northern Hemisphere will be dead or dying in five years from radiation poisoning.
A million affected for every single day the megaplex spews out invisible death particles. A billion dead or dying in ten years. From one single nuclear facility.
Japan at the epicenter will have 50 percent dead or dying in ten years.
Pogo had it right… We have met the Enemy and he is us. Our scientists and war machines will make the Black Plague look like the common cold.
Like Bobby I am a human canary for pollution and despite being 6200 miles away I can feel the effects of radioactive fallout that surges and bioaccumulates rapidly. I survived half a century of atomic military tests, but I wonder if I will survive another half decade of Fukushima releases.
I hope when the dust settles and the last nuclear plant is shuttered there will be healing of mother earth, but fear that mankind will just find another way to achieve extinction. Man is a naked ape with savage millennial instincts to pillage his environment. He will never change.

Hang in there, Sickputer! This situation does seem ridiculous. Skip the dental X-rays, plus watch your food stuffs & drinks like a hawk.

But, now I feel ready to take it on!! I have faith that I can get through it, repair, and reload!! I’m still healthy and feeling spritely. Moreover, some amazing things are happening for me, such as a big raise (that allows me to make accommodations) and having my company go into merger with a huge international firm (many “safer” offices & connections for my future)… Even a close friend recently relocated far south for family matters & is inviting me to visit. I’m so glad for him! Don’t lose faith. I’m confident that most people will survive and overcome this. The Japanese might even come up with a makeshift solution by “accident”!… Now I feel at peace, actually fairly prepared and fully trusting the will of God… That’s my approach!

We know their future will not increase as time goes by, but their “ill-at-ease” -edness will, which is an oblique way of saying that really their illnesses will increase as time goes by, and that will cause more than just ill-at-ease-edness, as we know.

The “ill at ease feeling will increase over time” means that anyone moving into these areas and feeling ill will automatically be blamed for being stressed out, worried and not smiling enough as the root cause of getting ill..

Mother Nature is trying to warn us…
There is an average of one nuclear accident every year to several years. DU weapons are used constantly nowadays. We waging a low level nuclear global war EVERY DAY. Most of this is never disclosed or talked about on the mass media corporate speak news.
If one reactor accident at a time is not enough, maybe 4, 5, or 7 melted through reactors and multiple explosions are needed to get our attention and show us the error of our ways in regard to nuclear power and weapons?
Then again, maybe this will not be enough, as the coverup continues.. Maybe next time, it will be 40 or 400 nuclear plants melting through and/or blowing up, via the Carrington Effect?
Get ready, if this is not a Life Extinction Event, then the Carrington Event more than likely will. But we will not be able to claim a defense by saying; “But we were never warned”

Indeed the Carrington would wipe us all out, probably take a few months, a few real lousy months for the survivor types.
It will happen sometime, maybe next week, maybe in 150 years, but somewhere in that span we should get a massive solar storm which would fry pretty much every transformer on earth.

I was this >< close to buying a condo (called a “mansion” in Japan) at the beginning of 2010 as my life plan was to spend the rest of my career and retirement in Japan. I am so very happy that I held off. I simply felt uneasy for some reason and decided not to buy…it was a mix of my unease with the current state of economy and the thought of a disaster (earthquake, war with NK, Mount Fuji erupting etc). But never did I ever imagine something on this scale ever happening in Japan. I am still now in shock by what has happened and the criminal mishandling by the government and media. It is beyond reality for me and I cannot even accept it emotionally it is all far too horrific and I am numb everyday but also filled with absolute rage.
I do thank my instinct in having not purchased the condo though. If I had, it would have much more difficult and even more financially damaging to have to leave Tokyo and Japan. I have several friends who just recently (in the last 1-3 years) purchased condos in the Tokyo area who also wanted to leave but due to their financial obligations and their family pressure they are staying but under extreme stress. I spoke with them often soon after 3-11 but since leaving they do not contact much recently as they are too stressed to talk about it. This is a terrible moment in human history and made even worse by those in power (governments, Tepco and media outlets of Japan and the world).

Hi kintaman
That is one mansion condo I would not want.
Hope that you are in a safer area now.

You posted this before. Your sentence construction is fine. But the content is erroneous. There is a study of radiation from Fukushima in Lithuania. It is considerable radiation. The radiation is also considerable and reaching south of the equator.

O.K.,…make that, “bouquet”.
But you get my drift!
Off to coffee! ::-)

Government must announce countrywide State of Emergency without little delay. The way the contamination is getting progressed seems like it will soon reach every single corner of Japan.
I recently discovered the following dispersion model, which someone had linked to Berkeley’s discussion page. It uses TEPCO emission data to model possible dispersion patterns for Neptunium and Plutonium

If this model is accurate, it is very disturbing. Where are all of the so-called experts who claimed these elements were too heavy to travel far from the plant site?
