“Radiation is leaking every day now… When you see those clouds of smoke coming out of the unit, that’s not steam, that’s radioactive steam. So, they’re releasing radioactivity as a airborne” -Arnie Gundersen, nuclear expert

-Why are we not seeing any radiation readings from the average citizen in Japan?
-Why have we not heard of anyone getting sick or dying?
-Why didn’t they just cover the reactors with boron and cement?
-How is it that the robots are able to operate in this (worse than Chernobyl) environment?
We are seeing none of the normal exercises one would expect from a nuclear meltdown. Why?

I’m VERY curious about how many people are seriously ill or dying in Japan, and I’m talking about average people, not Fukushima workers…
My guess is that they will do anything and everything to cover up any and all radiation-related deaths that occur from this….
We desperately need some japanese citizens to give some reports on this.. Hospital workers, big mouths, doctors, anyone…
They are just going to try and merge the radiation deaths with tsunami and earthquake deaths and keep pretending like they are still accumulating without labeling a single death as radiation related..
This is far too big to have a death count of ZERO… people have to be dying already…

The Higginson blog has Japanese video of cattle left behind in the Fukushima evacuation zone. They look MISERABLE and have fallen over, writhing in agony. I couldn’t bear to hear their moans with the audio. Fukushima was formerly a productive agricultural region. You could tell that the cows had been very healthy and well-fed before–not any longer!! So tragic for all.
I read in another forum from an English-speaking ex-pat still in Japan that they’re keeping up morale there. He doesn’t sound too worried about the radiation, but he is not close to the meltdowns. They are doing fundraisers and NHK (official news broadcast) cites positive developments, encouraging the public?…???
I was glad to read that China and Korea are not so patient with these circumstances! They are not suckered under with US/corporate patronage. More people need to step up & apply pressure internationally.

Chernobyl nuke cleanup to be costly for decades
KIEV, Ukraine – A quarter-century after the Chernobyl nuclear reactor explosion, a week of meetings on the world’s worst nuclear accident pressed home the message that the Chernobyl cleanup will remain expensive and anxiety-provoking for decades to come.
Still, differences over the true consequences of the calamity meant that no formal conclusions were issued as the meetings ended Friday.

EPA RADnet Reports Show Plutonium in US since March 18th
Report Comment
I see nut-tin
Lucas I am shocked that is the light of hard data, regarding Plutonium, there are those who interpret these numbers as evidence of non detection, because levels are under certain limits.
In the latest updated report by the EPA that I reviewed today, if accurate and genuine, Plutonium has yet to be detected in the US!
To come to this conclusion of “not detected” or “none detected” based on EPA data, would mean that someone had to decide what the threshold of non-detection would be, and publish the conclusions/analysis publicly. This would of course calm the fears of the public. But, would give a false sense of security to a vast number.
That would be like a committee deciding not to tell you that you had lung cancer until the tumor had reach a threshold “detectable” size. You would be comfortable in your ignorance until the disease had advance beyond the threshold of non detection. But all the while the danger would be present.
I perceive that based on all the available data, (for example plutonium being ejected from Fukushima reactors, to traces of plutonium found throughout the Pacific Rim – testing locales, from Guam, Saipan, Maui, Kauai, Alaska and California.)
I am forced to conclude that Plutonium is now spreading beyond Japan, moving eastward with prevailing winds.
I found this shocking and disturbing. The distribution of Plutonium is a major game changer for me. And calls for increased protective measures that include ultra purification of air. The application of advanced air purification technology must now be called into play.
My attention, was first to water purification, moved to food, clothing, and skin decontamination protocols, now to focus on air purification.
These changes will form the basis of permanent lifestyle changes made necessary to live in a permanently radioactive environment. In which the levels of contamination will only rise over the years ahead. The focus here is to avoid ingestion of radioactive particles and if ingested to expel as much as possible. But that is another subject.

Mixed oxide (MOX) fuel provides about 2% of the new nuclear fuel used today.
MOX fuel is manufactured from plutonium recovered from used reactor fuel.
MOX fuel also provides a means of burning weapons-grade plutonium (from military sources) to produce electricity.

I’d be checking out this MEETING on the WEST COAST, TOMORROW:
A symposium Saturday afternoon at a famous Santa Monica venue, the Unurban Café, is being held to shed light on the HAARP facility, radiation detox and diet needs, and related information. The group calling itself “The Uncensored Politics Discussion Group” in Los Angeles announced that it is presenting a free five-hour Symposium on HAARP, Chemtrails, Radiation Hazards and Health, and Dietary Protection & Detoxification from Radiation this Saturday, April 23, 2011 from 1:00-6:00 PM due to impacts these issues are having on people but not being discussed on mainstream news. LA organizers say speakers will individually present information on their topic, then answer audience questions and take comments plus, if time permits afterwards, form a panel for more Q&A.

If you see the documentry you would see some amazing facts about Chynobal the untold story.
Watch the 2005 documentary “The True Battle of Chernobyl” – revealing never before seen interviews with Chernobyl scientists, Gorby himself, and surviving workers, and the only photographer out of four who lives to tell the story. Only a few out of the 500,000 Russians (yes, 500,000) who were brought in to the Ukraine to build the sarcophagus and clear the area, were still alive at the time – some kind of quality of life, since they were only alive because they required hospitalizations every year. The head nuclear Soviet “expert” committed suicide. Of the 500,000 emergency workers, only 200,000 were still alive just a few years later. There goes your ‘official death toll”. The Video runs 90 minutes. Do you have the guts to watch it?

I do not really understand how this is a ‘conspiracy’ when they openly acknowledge it.
Look up ‘cloud seeding.’ Wiki, or whatever source you like. The governments of the world freely acknowledge having used this for years and that they currently using it, oh and that it’s usually not so great for your health if you happen to breathe.
There’s no secret here. Or is ‘chem trail’s supposed to be something else? cause it looks exactly like ‘cloud seeding’ to me.
