August 4, 2012 report in the Hokkaido Newspaper translated by Fukushima Diary:
Source: aikido.co.jp
Professor Hiroaki Koide, Kyoto University Reactor Research Institute, during July 29, 2012 lecture at Doshisha University: According to government’s research, Tokyo area turned out to be as contaminated as radiation controlled area like in Fukushima. Millions of people are living in radiation controlled area, where I work with a small nuclear reactor.

And the Safecast team feeling safe and secure in Toyko.A bunch of kids,many are far from home,building souped up Geiger counters,trying to inform the public of radiation issues. All happy smiles and comradeship. I feel bad for them.

When you're 20,its an adventure. When you're 40,you might kick yourself in the but for being so naive.

"Next" has already happened, unfortunately, Time Is Short. The United States has been blanketed with radiation in surprising similar amounts.
From back when we were getting data, this graph shows similarity:

and this:

Now that the ocean borne radiation is here, too, the west coast will be impacted more by that.
However, the airborne contamination seems to increase not by proximity to Japan, but by proximity to the jet stream, and of course, where it is raining. The data we have today:
About 3,000 CPM in St. Louis, Missouri

The repetition of "the west coast" has been a central part of the propaganda from the beginning, starting with President Obama's speech about Fukushima, where he divided the west coast, alaska, etc., from the rest of the nation, thereby implying that those were the only areas impacted, placating everyone else. Canada faces a similar situation, most likely. Divide and conquer.

Thanks, NoNukes. All good info.
I didn't know about Obama's 'west coast' speech. So they wrote the West Coast off right away.
I hate being late to the party . . .

They wanted us to believe it was the west coast, but they knew it was the east coast, too, that why he sent his daughters to Brazil and then South Africa.

If you look at the increased mortality chart on Bobby1's blog, none of the top 5 cities with the highest rates of excess deaths in 2011 or 2012 are on the west coast.
Bobby1's analysis revealed that excess mortality is correlated according to elevation, not which coast you are on (Portland still blows my mind).

Excellent article for those that want to do the math.
Couple the increase over average mortality rates with the mutation percentages in the post on butterflies, and you'll see where we are headed in a very short amount of time.
Thanks, NoNukes.

Don't write them all off… Tough uranium miners last 40 years before 90% fall ill from lung or bone marrow diseases.
The weak, the unborn, the young and elderly will fall victim much quicker. Distance helps survival rates also. Japanese people are at ground zero… Everyone else downwind or downstream will get orders of magnitude less than near the spewing plant. But left uncapped the dangerous levels will bioaccumulate all across the Pacific and beyond. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
If things greatly worsen at Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant which is quite possible then we will all look back on the months and years wasted by Japan in capping the plant and wonder why they delayed so much. Their delay could mean the near extinction of human life in the Northern Hemisphere, certainly extinction in Japan. That chilling scenario is being disregarded by the nucleocrats because of financial concerns. The Japanese government differs from the USSR in that they can't order 600,000 workers to undertake suicidal jobs at Fukushima. Dictators actually do much better in a crisis of this magnitude.

There's a big difference. The fuel that was in those reactors has been irradiated. There is no comparison. Natural uranium ore is "mothers milk" compared to irradiated fuel. I wonder about you guys sometimes.

Show me ten million deaths in Japan for 2012 and I will change my critique.
The death rate from lung cancer of former uranium miners is five times that of the general population. (1962 medical study). The volume of dust they inhale getting through ineffectual respirators makes it a toxic occupation. But facts are facts… Humans exposed to radiation in all forms get sick and die, but virtually all die a very long slow painful deaths.
That's the insiduous nature of nuclear poison from mines and reactors…Millions of people don't drop dead immediately, but they are fatally sick.
Reminds me of the Russians airdropping cluster bombs by small parachutes over villages in Afghanistan to make the adults spend valuable time caring for disabled victims. The principle is the same with nuclear fallout. Overwhelm the hospital system caring for people who will live a long agonizing life.

"Show me ten million deaths in Japan for 2012 and I will change my critique."
See the chart at the link NoNukes provides above, then extrapolate those numbers out across the US. Figure similar numbers in the Fukushima/Tokyo area.
We are well into the hundreds of thousands of deaths, mainly the unborn, infants and elderly.
You are correct about the Russians. And you are right that the medical systems will all fail.
Thank you, GE.

I remember, when Greenpeace demonstrated against the transportation of MOX fuel to Japan.. No need to listen to anyone who tells about the potential damage of nuke power until we are all breathing plutonium.
First many will have to die to see it is wrong.
Is that a sign of human intelligence?

CB, i wonder, can the World ever be cleaned of radio-nuclides with HALF lives of more than millions and even billions of years without truly knowing the effect on life?
Welcome to the experiment we are all a part of.

Sometimes when all life has to offer is a shit sandwich, you just have to eat it. This however could have been avoided.

What does the nuke lobby care about shitting plutonium on their own sandwich (and every one else's) when there is profit to be made?

Tokyo is a nuclear waste dump. Tokyo's entire population is subject to cancer, heart disease, sudden death, birth defects, and increasing infant mortality. Japan is toast, as ENEnewsers have been saying since 311.
