Kyodo, Jul 14, 2017 (emphasis added): Fukushima’s tritiated water to be dumped into sea, Tepco chief says — Despite the objections of local fishermen, the tritium-tainted water stored at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant will be dumped into the sea, a top official at Tokyo Electric says. “The decision has already been made,” Takashi Kawamura, chairman of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc., said in a recent interview with the media… As of July 6, about 777,000 tons were stored [1.54 billion pounds]… Kawamura’s remarks are the first by the utility’s management on the sensitive matter…
The Independent, Jul 15, 2017: Radioactive waste from Fukushima power plant disaster to be dumped in sea — Water tainted with tritium, a radioactive form of hydrogen, is to be released into the Pacific Ocean, says the head of the company responsible for the Fukushima clean-up operation… Local residents are furious at plans to release the radioactive tritium from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear plant, which suffered a triple meltdown, into the sea…
UPI, Jul 14, 2017: Japan utility plans to dump radioactive Fukushima water into Pacific — The operator of Japan’s paralyzed nuclear plant in Fukushima has decided to release radioactive tritium into the Pacific Ocean… Technology has so far been unable to remove tritium from the water, and TEPCO’s solution is to pour the radioactive liquid into the ocean… TEPCO insists tritium poses few health hazards, but Japanese fishermen are outraged because of the announcement…
Newsweek, Jul 14, 2017: Fukushima’s Nuclear Waste Will Be Dumped Into the Ocean, Japanese Plant Owner Says — Toxic waste produced by one of the world’s worst nuclear disasters will be dumped into the sea, according to the head of [TEPCO]… Takashi Kawamura, chairman of Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), told foreign media that nearly 777,000 tons of water tainted with tritium, a byproduct of the nuclear process that is notoriously difficult to filter out of water, will be dumped into the Pacific Ocean…
The Telegraph, Jul 14, 2017: Fishermen express fury as Fukushima plant set to release radioactive material into ocean — Local residents and environmental groups have condemned a plan to release radioactive tritium from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean… Around 770,000 tons of highly radioactive water is being stored in 580 tanks at the site. Many of the contaminants can be filtered out, but the technology does not presently exist to remove tritium from water… Fishermen who operate in waters off the plant say any release of radioactive material will devastate an industry that is still struggling to recover from the initial nuclear disaster…
Kyodo, Jul 15, 2017: Tepco backpedals after disaster reconstruction chief knocks plan to dump tritiated water into sea — [Tepco] backed off its tritium-dumping decision Friday after disaster reconstruction minister Masayoshi Yoshino said it would cause problems for struggling fishermen… The remarks made Friday by the Fukushima native came shortly after the chairman of [Tepco] was quoted as saying that the decision… had “already been made.” After Tepco Chairman Takashi Kawamura’s remarks were widely reported, the utility scrambled to make a clarification the same day. According to Tepco’s clarification, Kawamura meant to say that there was “no problem” with the dumping plan, based on government guidelines and “scientific and technological standards.” The statement also said that no final decision had been made…

Its entry aims to leverage NASA artificial intelligence technology and Internet of Things connectivity to detect risky behaviors and encourage healthy habits. The system could also notify care teams if abnormalities are detected.”

Waiting for the TEPCO narrative of how the last couple of submarine robotics adventures went in Unit 3. This will be interesting. Wonder if they will at least tell us the radiation readings.
There was a large amount of fuel and fuel rods pieces scattered about site (and further away) after Unit 3 blew up. Enough to bulldoze into the harbor plus lay down steel plates then still have a no-go zone.
Maybe the 1/3 load of MOX fuel melted down first and aerosolized leaving some normal uranium rods to be destroyed and ejected during the explosion while the rest of the core was splattered or strewn about.
Report comment
Using Mox fuel seems to leave a bigger mess than the old uranium fuel. When all the fuel rods started heating up, does the extra plutonium react explosively? Didn't r3 have steam explosions, hydrogen explosions, and did melting fuel go critical? R3 pictures look a lot like the others, some corium splatter, debris; can't wait for Tepco to find the rest of that corium.

The nuclear industry says cancers that show up before five years after a nuclear accident can't be attributed to the nuclear accident because it's too soon.
Cancer that shows up after five years can't be attributed to nuclear accidents because the accident was five years ago and that was a long time ago, how could the accident be responsible?
So, while ionizing radiation is a known cancer causing agent, the only cancer attributable to nuclear accidents is in that split second between five years and after five years (approximately .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 second. We just don't have equipment or bean counters accurate enough to detect those cancers. Of course.

low levels of nuclear fallout can cause morbidity which can be an unnoticed precursor to cancer, lupus, thyroid diseases, autoimmune diseases, heart failure, diseases of the nervous system etc. A key pathway is glutamine. Apparently glutamine can grab certain radionuclides. The glutamine pathway influences your mitochondria, autoimmune function, energy of course but much more

so just remember, when you see videos of dying dolphins, sea otters and sea lions, dont necessarily believe the scientists who say it is caused by climate change and algae. At least not without the influence of nuclear fallout. The toxin in the algae is related to glutamine and has some similar functions. Chitin in plankton bioaccumulates radionuclides, some more than others…and this goes up the food chain, and may be bio-concentrated by the above mentioned amino acids, finally resulting in systemic morbidity and acute diseases, which biologists will certainly say are due to climate change. Also, it was shown that another chemical, phosphine oxide, is a possible cause of this deadly nerve damage and which may be related to nuclear fallout

The interesting bits about acanthamoeba.
"Acanthamoeba spp. are among the most prevalent protozoa found in the environment.[1] They are distributed worldwide, and have been isolated from soil, air, sewage, seawater, chlorinated swimming pools, domestic tap water, bottled water, dental treatment units, hospitals, air-conditioning units, and contact lens cases. Additionally, Acanthamoeba have been isolated from human skin, nasal cavities, throats, and intestines, as well as plants and other mammals.[2]
"This species is able to lyse bacteria and produce a wide range of enzymes, such as cellulases or chitinases,[16] and probably contributes to the breakdown of organic matter in soil, contributing to the microbial loop."
"Thomas Dean Pollard applied this model at the NIH, Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies to discover and characterize many proteins that are essential for cell motility, not only in amoebas, but also in many other eukaryotic cells, especially those of the human nervous and immune systems, the developing embryo, and cancer cells"

We conclude that among survivors of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, subjects who were both HCV-positive and radiation-exposed were at a significantly, supermultiplicatively increased risk of HCC without concurrent cirrhosis.

These results indicated that the target for genetic damage by α-particles is much larger than the nucleus or in fact than the entire cell itself. This finding was later confirmed (61), and evidence presented that it involves the secretion by irradiated cells of cytokines or other factors that leads to enhanced production of reactive oxygen species in bystander cells (62–64). There is also evidence that cytotoxic effects in bystander cells may be related to the release of a factor into the medium (65,66). These findings are reminiscent of reports that clastogenic activity can be isolated from the plasma of radiation-exposed individuals (67). Microbeam studies of cells individually irradiated with 3He particles have provided evidence that more micronucleated and apoptotic cells arise in the population than expected on the basis of direct hits, providing further evidence for interactions between hit and non-hit cells(59)

an important point; scientists will invariably compare the radiation quantity of background to nuclear fallout, saying the latter cant be dangerous. But the metabolic pathways mentioned above show that small amounts of unnatural radiation sources cause a cascade of biological effects which invalidates the random chance DNA hit damage which is at the core of the standard radiation dose model. Instead, much of the action takes place in other parts of the cell and cell function, with reactive oxygen and cell signaling function as intermediates to morbidity and DNA harm.
Chances are you will have much more internal radiation dose from natural radiation. Yet no test has shown this dose to be harmful, while similar doses from fallout cause ill health. This is the reason its important to understand the background to fallout comparison conundrum. Otherwise you will lose any debate on nuclear safety

OT – Court Rules Against General Mills Motion to Dismiss, Says It's Reasonable Consumers Wouldn't Consider Glyphosate-Containing Nature Valley Granola Bars 'Natural' https://www.ecowatch.com/general-mills-glyphosate-2464624927.html
[ poor GM losing the ability to sell poison ]
The Court rejected General Mills' argument that courts should defer to the FDA on possible future ruling re: "natural" food labeling, holding that it was up to the courts to decide what is or isn't misleading to consumers.
The Court also noted that it does not appear likely that the FDA will issue a ruling on "natural" anytime soon—rejecting a common argument made by so many food producers seeking to avoid liability for their misrepresentations.

Thanks…
Though I have to say "An independent report claims that there are high levels of glyphosate in American foods" is about an underwhelming and obvious statement I've seen in years. It's not just glyphosate, either.
"However, a report conducted for the World Health Organization this past May by separate panels, the Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and the WHO’s Core Assessment Group on Pesticide Residues said that glyphosate is “unlikely to pose a carcinogenic risk to humans from exposure through the diet"
Dunno about that, either.
I mean I don't want to be too critical of that article (as my hate is mostly directed at monsanto/bayer/basf/dupont, etc", but that is hardly a wholly clear indicator of the damage. Journalists and researchers aren't quite critical or scathing enough, imo.

The only press criticism of the missile preparedness PR program comes from Tokyo Shimbun and other nonmainstream media, because the government doesn’t buy ads from them.
Journalists who discussed the News Post 7 article on the web news program DemocraTV insisted the campaign is incoherent, but with ad revenue shrinking, major media are happy to take the government’s money, they said, and a happy media is what the government wants, especially when the Abe administration eventually starts publicizing the referendum for changing the Constitution.

The Fall International Film Festival includes a not yet shown HBO documentary, "Atomic Homefront," which details the anguish of confronting state and federal agencies over nuclear waste dumping in St. Louis. The film is by Sarah Spurlock, wife of Morgan Spurlock.
Left unsaid, both the NY Times , Wall Street Journal, and HNN have revealed that Huntington , too, had a uranium and nickel carbonyl plant that processed and recycled fuels for three gaseous diffusion plants. When the process was found to not be cost effective, the structure — owned by the Atomic Energy Commission — was dismantled and the most contaminated portions buried in Piketon,Ohio. Workers from the Huntington Pilot Plant have received compensation from the Dept. of Labor for working in a facility covered under the Atomic Energy Commission definition that includes the St. Louis site, Oak Ridge, Paducah, and Piketon, Ohio.
According to IMDB, "Atomic Homefront" reveals :
"… St. Louis, Missouri's atomic past as a uranium processing center for the Atomic bomb and the governmental and corporate negligence that lead to the illegal dumping of Manhattan Project radioactive waste throughout North County neighborhoods.

They've since learned it doesn't exist, calling into question repeated assurances made to state regulators that the new units can be built by 2020 and at a $14 billion price tag.
The missing documentation is one reason it's taking V.C.

When the federal government filed suit to acquire the property under eminent domain, officials refused to disclose the exact nature of the waste “for security reasons.” They assured the local government that the waste they’d be storing there wasn’t dangerous. They shook hands and signed papers. They looked people squarely in the eye.
Every time the wind blew it carried radioactive dust into the brand-new parks and gardens and backyards. Every time it rained, the water flowed between the barrels, into their rusting holes, and all the things that water can carry flowed into that small creek.

"We need innovative techniques to address the challenges of the future, and we need to ensure that the nuclear knowledge is passed on to the next generations."
You can't say they are lying about that.

I went to see the Chicago Symphony Orchestra with some friends. Their 4 YO daughter has severely thinning hair, and the problem has been going on for a year. About since when they moved into a new home.
The Doctors are all befuddled, so I decided to take a few hours and launch from my existing knowledge into new actionable knowledge.
Anyone with any input, please chime in.

It is not surprising the medical industry has not been able to figure this out, they often just proceed from “the most likely thing” and proceed with trial and error. Often no one doctor takes an interested enough approach—asking all the questions, and all the right questions. They just aren’t allowed enough time by “the system” and they are conditioned into looking at things as “what can I solve with a drug”. It’s pretty horrible, but we know that is the way it is, so it is up to us to be the smart ones, I hope this helps you at least understand the main possibilities.
It would be good to solve this before she starts with school, and maybe finds out the other kids are giving her a hard time, or even bullying her.
The trouble with trial and error, is that things can go on a long time, and possible damage and long term damage could result if the underlying problem is not figured out. If there is a thyroid problem, it would be horrible to not discover this for say 4 years during a

Big stress, in addition to the causes listed below, could also be a cause. We will be happy to go a “ghost check” on site, although I didn’t detect any the one time I was at your house. But this will cost you a bottle of wine! LOL

My knowledge and research on hair loss leads me to suspect environmental causes, there may be more than 1 cause.
Tap water, just hard water can cause hair loss, as with all things, some people can be more susceptible than others.

Get water tested for hardness, other chemicals, esp mercury and lead.
If hardness confirmed, can de mineralize the hair with acid—-Apple Cider Vinegar, see article. Get a water softener

I was correct that it is not just chemo that damages hair, but radiation itself.

"On July 19, TEPCO Chairman Takashi Kawamura, who is also honorary chairman of Hitachi Ltd., was apologizing at the headquarters of JF Zengyoren, a nationwide federation of fishery associations, in Tokyo’s Chiyoda Ward. He was forced to explain “the true intention” of remarks he made last week regarding the release of diluted radiation-contaminated water into the sea.
On July 12, during a collective media interview session, Kawamura said “the decision has been made” to do so.
On the Fukushima plant premises, nearly 780,000 tons of water used to cool the reactors are stored, which had been decontaminated of radioactive cesium and plutonium but not tritium. Legally, the tritium-tainted water can be released into the sea, if diluted enough so the concentration of tritium is below a set standard.
However, as the release would add further adversity to the struggling fishing industry in Fukushima and neighboring prefectures, the central government has not made any clear decision on what to do with it.
Kawamura, however, also said, “I am on the same line as the opinion of chair Shunichi Tanaka (of Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority) that it is scientifically safe (to discharge water into the sea).”

Shouldn't Tepco have to show the people that the water was at least as decontaminated as they say? …everything but tritium removed, before they dump it? Seems a small thing to ask, no?

From article above. Kinda says it all. "On July 14, disaster reconstruction minister Masayoshi Yoshino expressed concerns that releasing the water now would “definitely affect public sentiment…"
