Fukushima: Health issues after the accident
IRSN (France’s Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety Institute)

At first sight there was no acute radiation syndrome observed in the weeks following the accident, as was the case with the first rescue workers during the Chernobyl accident.

These figures are to be taken with great caution because of severe degradations due to the tsunami.

Different testimonials have indicated a lack of personal dosimeters and protective masks in the first few days following the accident.

Tepco took weeks to carry out the necessary whole body countings.

Title: Institut de radioprotection et de sûreté nucléaire

The French Institut de radioprotection et de sûreté nucléaire (IRSN) (“Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety Institute”) is a public official establishment [...] placed under the conjoint authority of the Defence minister, the Environmental minister, the Industry
minister and the Health and Research minister.

    They let the ones still walking leave without any followup…just like the not so stellar followup at Chernobyl. There were rumors of radiation deaths in the first six months besides the handful that died of heart attacks (possibly heat prostration),

    There was the strange death in August of the man who died after 7 days of work (Tepco said it was acute leukemia, but that his radiation dose was negligible. This was around the time of the 10 sievert hotspots and the photo of a worker 10 feet away from one of the hot spots.

    Rumors of dead workers in the morgue at Fukushima hospitals had circulated, but nothing substantiated to my knowledge.

      I often wonder how we could send in a mole, to both the fukushima hospital, and the tepco electric site itself…

      This reporting is what is making the disaster so dangerous…

      The public of the united states is dumbfound and growing conscious at too slow of a rate to demand action by any timing which would be sufficient to protecting our healths.

      Without adequate reporting of scientific studies made by sources outside the reach of Tepco's, financiers; We will continue to be spoon fed reports of only non life threatening elements, such as iodine and cesium (not to say they are "non life threatening"; But to state that these primarily are not the element signatures, that I am concerned about… I am more concerned about elements like californium, strontium, polonium, neptunium, plutonium, uranium… ect.

      Even the reports / tweets from within can be misinformation, or even worse "corporate misdirection". Sending those that are concerned with this disaster on a wild goose chase allows Tepco the freedom to sway numbers, lobby safety restrictions, and fabricate alibi's.

      This is a very very large "think-tank" that we are up against: with an unlimited amount of funds, to fuel its lies, and the most technologically advanced nationally recognized geniuses serving first hand on its staff…

      The numbers are truly not in our favor (in more ways than one).

      With the amount of public figure heads, political leaders, and promotional companies
      Cont…

        ~Contributing to the cover up of these gross injustices;

        We the people might want to consider large-scale protests, and options to further notify the public of the potential dangers that lie ahead, in lieu of the possibility that things are much, much worse than the Japanese and Nations Abroad governments are letting on to.

        I for one find it insulting that I myself have contributed what appears to be more man time on this crisis individually, that what is observable by the entire nation in which I reside. For reasons unknown our united states presidency has flew the coop on addressing the nation to the progress that we have made since 3/11 in ensuring the very safety of the public.

        This to me is essentially the biggest injustice that I have witnessed in my entire 32 years living in the United States…

        We should also consider pushing to have the current administration impeached, due to their failure in keeping the general public informed with the very same minute, to minute data that they had omitted and shared amongst themselves in our biggest time of need.

        That is treason in my eyes…

    here is a french video from criirad

    The Japanese were not protected from contamination – Conference CRIIRAD

    Uploaded by CRIIRAD one Jul 13, 2011
    Extracts of the conference debate, held in Lyon on 29 June 2011. The Commission for Research and Independent Information on Radioactivity (CRIIRAD) was represented by Bruno Chareyron, laboratory manager, and Roland Desbordes, president of the association.

    read the first few comments and you will get the picture .. and please notice the DATE of the video upload

    and this

    This video shows radiation levels on May 29th 2011, in Fukushima city (Japan) about 60-65 km from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors.
    Measurements are made by a CRIIRAD scientist (Bruno. Chareyron, engineer in nuclear physics) during a meeting between CRIIRAD and Japanese citizens : M. Wataru Iwata (co-founder of Project 47 and CRMS) and persons in charge of the network "Fukushima Network for Saving Children from Radiation"

    "The powerful gamma radiations …….. give a radiation rate about 10 times above normal values inside the building (at the centre of the office), and 15 times above near the window. This radiation will decrease only very slowly. After one year, the decrease should be about 23 % only."
