Posting this 3-month old clip because it wasn’t known about until now and little mention has been made of it elsewhere
Upper House Budget Committee , September 29, 2011 :
Akira Matsu, a member of the House of Councillors in Diet, spoke about children living 100km from the meltdowns who didn’t want to drink milk and were treated like suspected wartime traitors by their teachers.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura and Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Yukio Edano appeared to laugh in response.
“Please don’t laugh. This is no laughing matter. This is how the people of Fukushima are really feeling,” said Matsu.

I’d love to see them send THEIR children / grandchildren there to drink the milk, or eat the school lunches… Ba$tards…

If you would like some insight into the part of the Japanese psyche that allows them to laugh while consciously irradiating millions of their own people, I reccomend reading Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand.

“Chief Cabinet Secretary”
beside
“Economy and Trade and Industry Minister”
All the matters to them is “Economy” and “Trade” and “Industry”, children are not their concern as you see !

Keep laughing because it shows how uncomfortable TEPCO.gov looks when answering the hard questions. People should feel free to eat and drink what they want without ridicule. Personally I would like the government to drink only water shipped in from the Fukushima area to assure the public that nothing is wrong. If they are concerned about children taking things into their own hands than they should encourage their right to choose rather than condemn them to the fate of those around them. The school teachers will change their tone as the radiation sickness spreads. Now we are starting to see the bodily harm manifest in children and the elderly. As more symptoms seemingly “baffle” physicians the fight to stay clean and radiation free will become an uphill battle the people of Japan will not be able to win.

At physicsforum, I was in a discussion and one of the nuc eng guys on the board stated that he did a study, and if you had a stack of used fuel rods in the end zone of a football field, and a human started at the other end zone, running at full speed towards the fuel, they would never reach the fuel, they would drop dead around the 15 yard line.

Plutonium Fuel Rods laying in the rubble??
Caught this from a TEPCO released sampling video. Raw Uranium Pellets just lying in the rubble, very clear cut. Maybe MOX too. Maybe some experimental fuels too. Very odd stuff these rods in the rubble.
This is a conspiracy theory to top them all. Not only was TEPCO burning MOX plutonium fuels, they were also using other experimental fuels. They say a picture says a thousand words. Paul Langley was just writing about a similar theory and I thought I would flesh out my conspiracy with some picture evidence. Please review and comment, and follow the links. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

And, this is why they are not burning trash, but, rather they are burning nuclear waste, in those piles around the Fukushima Daiichi plant.

“JAEA has developed plutonium fuel fabrication technologies through MOX (Mixed Oxide) fuel production for the experimental fast reactor “Joyo”, the prototype FBR “Monju” and the advanced thermal reactor “Fugen” at the plutonium fuel fabrication facilities. The accumulated number of the MOX fuel assemblies fabricated in these facilities has amounted to approximately 1,700. …”

Fuel pellets probably exploded out in a wide radius, into air, ocean and land areas. Which is why all the hot spots in far flung areas of Japan? Seems likely.
