High levels of radioactivity found extensively, NHK, July 21, 2011:
Aerial survey conducted June 22-30
Japan’s science ministry says air above the ground about 150 kilometers from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant is as radioactive as areas 50 kilometers from the source of radioactivity [...]
Some parts of Kurihara City, about 150 kilometers north of the plant are light blue, indicating that the air there was 0.2 to 0.5 microsieverts per hour.
That’s similar to areas close to the crippled plant [...]

Doctors and experts are baffled by an Indian hermit who claims not to have eaten or drunk anything for several decades – but is still in perfect health.
Mr Prahlad Jani under surveillance in hospital
Prahlad Jani, a holy man, or fakir, who is over 70 years old, has just spent 10 days under constant observation in Sterling Hospital, in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad.
During that time, he did not consume anything and “neither did he pass urine or stool”, according to the hospital’s deputy superintendent, Dr Dinesh Desai.
Yet he is in fine mental and physical fettle, say doctors.
Most people can live without food for several weeks, with the body drawing on its fat and protein stores. But the average human can survive for only three to four days without water.

TOKYO —
A total of 1,349 cattle suspected of being fed rice straw containing radioactive cesium have been shipped to 45 of Japan’s 47 prefectures, a Kyodo News tally showed Wednesday.
On Wednesday, prefectural surveys revealed 699 cattle suspected of such contamination were shipped from farms in Iwate, Akita, Gunma, Niigata, Gifu and Shizuoka prefectures, adding to another herd of such cattle found to have been shipped from farms in Niigata, Fukushima, Yamagata and Saitama prefectures.

I have been saying for 2 weeks now that 2492 cows were shipped before late may from Fukushima alone. Now with this tainted straw being sold all around the country the figures will skyrocket. I guess this will see the end of some big brands of wagyu. The Ministry of Fams and fisheries haven’t a hope in hell in screening even the produce from the “badlands” and we can imagine there is no way they will bother or have the power to screen feed. Anyone still eating “kokusan”beef is asking for trouble. Sometimes I wonder if MAFF are encouraging such incidents so that the Japanese population cannot choose food from other areas becuase it has been either polluted by feed or by this radioactive sludge they want to send around Japan as fertiliser. MAFF seem to want to do anything to keep people eating food from the north..if people won’t then maybe their answer is to pullote everything else. Who knows in Japan..the country is turning into a laughing stock.

When I came to Washington in 1969, for example, the city was riven with division and antagonism over the Vietnam War, which segued into the impeachment of a president, followed by many other difficult and contentious moments.

Speaking of nosebleeds I had never had one in my life before late March and woke up gushing blood. I know of a young woman in her twenties in my city and she has been off work for three weeks with daily massive nosebleeds. Doctors can’t explain it. Like me she has never had that affliction before.
So now when I am drumming up a little conversation about Japan with friends or strangers I always ask if they have had any nosebleeds or relatives or friends who suffer from it. I have discovered two other cases. Anecdotal? I am afraid I don’t believe in coincidences of this magnitude.

Thanks, I was looking for a link like this. See my comment in that link if it is approved:
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
These are extinction level events:
Read http://enenews.com/
today(21 July 2011).
Fukushima extinction level event was triggered by earthquakes caused by dams.
See http://predictingquakes.blogspot.com
and http://earthquakescausedbydams
Fukushima filter according to Busby read a thousand times as much as the nuclear weapons fallout exposure(llrc.org).
And according to http://deathdealersnukes.blogspot.com/
There were17.6 million infant mortalities to 1999 from 1946 in India alone(see Table IMINA there).
Which means by applying the precautionary principle there would result billions of infant mortalities in India in the years to come due to the continuing man made nuke disaster at Fukushima, triggered by dams of the world. If no action is taken this will lead to an unstable population in India for example: See http://indiapopulation.blogspot.com/
This means the cumulative effects of modern civilisation are leading to extinction.
Please bring it to the notice of as many as possible so that nuclear power is banned from the earth and space and modern civilisation is replaced by a normal way of life. The normal should preserve the health of the planet. All other greedy activities must not externalise their effects in harming the planet. Above this bottomline they should carry on strictly preserving the rights to all life for all time.
See http://plutoniumaradiumabillionpeoplehitdna.blogspot.com/2010/04/nuclear-powers-infinite-liability-for.html
Practice strict energy conservation and substitute other viable forms of energy like enjoying living energy use for coal so that coal use is minimised.

Goodbye Japan, but there is hope.
They should be almost radiation free in several thousand years time.
Many of us knew back in March, 2011 that the whole country is radioactive. These nano-killers travel through air, soil, wind, food, everything. No getting rid of it. And, it gets worse with bioaccumulation (one fish will keep on collecting the stuff) and biomagnification (big fish accumulates, and eats several smaller fish, bigger fish eats that and human eats that). It’s unstoppable.
All this to boil water, while Japan sits on a wind and geothermal gold mine.
Soon it will be too late to evacuate. Nobody wants radioactive people that have bioaccumulated now for 4 months in a high radiation zone.

In Minami soma shi,children under 6 years old are rejected to have whole body counter to check internal exposure,because “They can’t stay still for 2 minutes.”
Also just in;
Some hotels across the nation are welcoming disaster refugees. They are offering them free or discounted stay.
To save their own children, a lot of the parents are trying to leave Fukushima using those services.
But local government contacted those hotels and told them not to accept them as they are trying to keep people in the prefecture. They are shutting down temporary shelters and are working into bringing them back. They also need a “permission” to leave the prefecture. If refugees decide to move, they are being told to neve come back. This is the ugly face of a dictatorial Japan and is clearly in violation of their Article 22 of their constitution ; ” right for all Japanese nationals to move freely and choose to live wherever they want”. I hope Japanese people will protest when they scrap the evacuation zone.

People who are externally contaminated with radioactive material can contaminate other people or surfaces that they touch. For example, people who have radioactive dust on their clothing may spread the radioactive dust when they sit in chairs or hug other people.
People who are internally contaminated can expose people near them to radiation from the radioactive material inside their bodies. The body fluids (blood, sweat, urine) of an internally contaminated person can contain radioactive materials. Coming in contact with these body fluids can result in contamination and/or exposure.

Because your mother has a radioactive material in her right now, she should not be around animals, young children, within so many feet of other people, etc. The docs will give her specific guidelines about what she can and cannot do while getting the treatment. The radioactive material is killing cancer but it also kills good tissues. It emits radioactivity and can affect other people and animals especially suseptible ones like your little brother. Radiation is something that none of us should ever be exposed to, but like me, your mother had to choose the damaging radiation or the killing cancer.

Lisa, you ask:
“My father in law recently had seed radiation for prostate cancer and his doctor advised him to avoid close contact with young children or pregnant women for several weeks. Why? What will happen to the young child or women? He takes care of my 15 month old from 8am to 5pm Monday thru Friday, should I be worry?”
There are basically three kinds of radiation treatment for cancer:
“External beam” radiation therapy where patients are treated with beams of radiation coming from x-rays machines, linear accelerators or very large radioisotope sources.
Removable “implants” where small radioactive sources are placed in or around the tumor for minutes or days and are then removed. Patients generally (always?) remain in the hospital while the radioactive sources are in their bodies.
Permanent “implants” where radioactive material is placed in or around the tumor and left there permanently. Most of the radiation produced by these permanent implants does not get out of the body and even the small amount that get out decreases over the weeks after the seeds are put in.
For the first two types of radiation treatment, the patient is not radioactive after the procedure is done. But for the third type, the permanent implants, the patients are still radioactive when they are sent home. The “seed radiation” done for prostate cancer is this type of radiation treatment.
Most jurisdictions, including the US, have strict regulations concerning how much radiation can be safely received by other people who might be near the radioactive patient. In particular they regulate how much radiation would be received by the most radiation-sensitive individuals in the population (namely fetuses and children).
To estimate when the radiation level in a patient is “low enough” radiation physicists need to make some assumptions about how much time the patient will be close to children and pregnant women. Generally they assume that the patient will keep their distance …

If you have ever read Rod Adams on his pro-nuke website you will know he has more than enough angst to protect his beloved nuclear plant livelihood. Intelligent guy, but his attacks can be easily disproven so I adhere to my fairly strict policy of refusing to wrestle with pigs.

lol…
“angst” has really become an international term…
sad enough.

Yes, I had precisely that feeling, but it relieves me that someone else in the world knows such people exist.
Thanks Sickputer!

LOL I see you found my little debate with Mr Adams. It was an experiment, I was attempting a friendly reasoning approach in the hope we could find some common ground.
I soon realised he was beyond reasoning.

Thanks. I posted it and I hope that everyone here who is in the US or any other country writes their congressional reps (or parliamentary reprs, or whatever)

All are free to cut and paste my letter to my representatives. The letter deals first with the US but then explicitly addresses this issue in Japan.

Sorry in Japanese but a short interview on the phone with Koide
2 quick things out of this
1)There’s no safety standard for contaminated food and most of the Japanese food has already been contaminated.
2)Ministry of Economy and moron, Kaieda called Koide for some reason. Mr.Koide hung up saying he’s too busy. lol

I had an unusual nosebleed around that time as well. North of San Francisco.

Does anybody else get the feeling that they’re publishing the “meat-story” on a daily basis only to distract people’s attention from maybe even more urgent food issues?
I don’t know much meat the average Japanese consumes. I would be even more interested in seeing milk and cheese readings, which are consumed probably more often and in larger quantities.
Not to talk of fish.

Yes, I do.
That’s why I suggested we find a contaminated Chicken McNugget somewhere.
But, it’s a good Trojan Horse story to lead people over to the big story.
Some of the people who think I’m crazy even picked it up and asked me about it.

Voilà, 6 hrs. later:
“Japan’s health ministry has called on local governments across the country to prioritize checks for radioactive substances on beef over other food products.”

Please leave aside the testing of daily eaten products and focus on the one you could easily live without.
This is beyond sickening..

One must admire the sheer ability and skill of the TEPCO/govt conglomerate going into distracting people to death, much like one would admire a deadly spider. Unfortunately, doesn’t look like we can step on this problem, rather vice versa….

what a great response jebus! and i totally relate to it!

Distraction techniques well practiced. Much more interesting is the rice/grain contamination, far more devastating. We’ll never see any official results, only the sad end products of consumption of contaminated foods by people. Why buy radiation counters when you can just use people?

Good grief.
Somebody go and educate this guy:
I am confident than neither the plant owners nor the federal regulators will allow a plant to operate past the time when it is safe to do so.

On my way to work, I heard on a “serious” radio station (Deutschlandfunk, it’s one of those where they talk all day long, no music, no ads), that “the Japanese Government considers widening the evacuation zone around the Fuku plant, and is about to recommend evacuation to citizens in a wider area”.
Unfortunately, I can’t find this on NHK..did you hear about that?
Report Comment
Are you joking. They are now giving the Japanese public the impression that all is “under control” and that from January the government can begin to reduce the zone – the opposite of the truth in fact. It’s all a load of bellocks of course.

Much of the food industry supported the additional inspections. “Ultimately, it is the food industry that is responsible for the safety of its products,” said Pamela Bailey, president of the Grocery Manufacturers Association, which represents all the big brands that fill up our grocery carts. “But we have long recognized that strong government oversight is a critical and necessary part of our nation’s food safety net.”
“But Republicans in the House, relying on their gut instincts, don’t agree. They passed a bill last week (without any Democratic support) to slash funding for additional food inspections, cutting about $300 million from the FDA and USDA inspections for next year, prompting conservative pundit Norm Ornstein to remark that “these kinds of cuts are seriously stupid and counterproductive.” Read “Mindless Cuts Can Have Dangerous Results,” on the AEI website.”

“Smaller shops here have raised their prices for rice from about 1500 yen to 2000 yen per 5 kg bag because they’ve been experiencing difficulties getting supplies. More and more consumers are stocking up on 2010 rice, as it’s yet to be seen what cesium levels will be found in 2011 rice 8 weeks from now, when it will be harvest time. We’ve heard very little about soil or other testing in rice growing areas so far, which is not reassuring.”

You know looking at a map that Tokyo is really in trouble with the reactors still out of control. 220 kilometers seems a long way off until you see Fukushima Prefecture on a map compared to Tokyo.
