    280,000 children issued with dosimeters in Fukushima Prefecture

    http://www3.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/24_01.html

    Doctors say that residents in Fukushima Prefecture 40 km away from the plant were exposed to over 3 times annual radiation dose in the first two months.

    I earlier posted about the need for Triage mentality.
    It is horrible to contemplate,
    but soon to be very much in-your-face, in-my-face.
    Most of those kids are already consigned to the
    “unlikely to survive” category.
    The place soon to be uninhabitable.

    My thoughts too…instead of protecting the children they’re using them as subjects in a vast epidemiological experiment.

    The pro nuclear lobby (WHO etc) claim that the health impact of Chernobyl was “minimal”. They made this claim by only taking into account studies conducted shortly after the accident occurred and ignored long term effects.

    I read somewhere that thyroid cancer rates in the UK have doubled since Chernobyl…mostly amongst young adults who were exposed to the fallout when children.

    I wonder how long this experiment will go on before hasty conclusions are drawn by the WHO.

    Let’s hope his conscience is making it harder and harder for him to deliver the soft-pablim he’s told to report. That is my firm feeling. He is unwilling to say what they want him to say.

    Special report – Japan’s “throwaway” nuclear workers

    Kevin Krolicki and Chisa Fujioka, ReutersJune 24, 2011
    FUKUSHIMA, JAPAN (Reuters) – A decade and a half before it blew apart in a hydrogen blast that punctuated the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl, the No. 3 reactor at the Fukushima nuclear power plant was the scene of an earlier safety crisis.

    Then, as now, a small army of transient workers was put to work to try to stem the damage at the oldest nuclear reactor run by Japan’s largest utility.

    At the time, workers were racing to finish an unprecedented repair to address a dangerous defect: cracks in the drum-like steel assembly known as the “shroud” surrounding the radioactive core of the reactor.

    But in 1997, the effort to save the 21-year-old reactor from being scrapped at a large loss to its operator, Tokyo Electric, also included a quiet effort to skirt Japan’s safety rules: foreign workers were brought in for the most dangerous jobs, a manager of the project said.

    “It’s not well known, but I know what happened,” ….

      Great article. Corporations and Governments have the same opinions when it comes to ‘disposable people.’

      “Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.” – Henry Kissinger, quoted in “Kiss the Boys Goodbye: How the United States Betrayed Its Own POW’s in Vietnam”

      That attitude is now being applied to ALL of us.

        Indeed. The rest of us have always been looked at as “useless eaters” by the same psychotic creep (and the assorted other psychotic creeps that comprise the global corporate oligarchy). So, food is getting a little more scarce on Earth and I guess they have decided to “thin out” those “useless eaters” such that “they” (who rule) can continue on with their ever-indulgent consumption of resources that is certainly 1000s of times (and more) what the average human being gets to consume.

    6-23-11: Radiation Alert was issued for Kauai

    Kauai Radiation Monitors Detect Possible Fukushima Fallout
    June 23, 2011
    By Tim Flanegin

    Yesterday, June 22nd, our network’s Monitoring Station on the island of Kauai, within the Hawaiian island chain, broadcast yet another Radiation Alert over the Network, at 8:08 A.M. local time – a 3 minute surge of 209, 456, and 186 CPM (Counts per Minute) respectively, accompanied by a generally elevated level leading up to that, and followed by another blip at 2:52 P.M.

    The Kauai station indicates it was raining at the time, so we believe the precipitation brought down Fukushima fallout from the atmosphere.

    This detection follows a similar, sustained elevated radiation level from the Kauai station on June 10th. Other than this, since the nuclear disaster in Japan, the stations on our Network that we believe to have detected Fukushima radiation in significant and noticeable levels have been limited to a couple of high altitude stations in Colorado, and an obvious one in Japan itself.
