[A panel of experts] say officials actively denied the possibility of meltdowns and misled the public.
At 4:00 in
The word meltdown disappeared from the media briefings. In fact the agency spokesman denied a meltdown had even happened. Ultimately it took 3 months for authorities to admit a triple meltdown had occurred at Fukushima. This raises the possibility of a gov’t cover up.
At 6:20 in
The report stressed that despite the scope of their investigations, they still know very little about the root causes of the Fukushima accident, along with the health and environmental implications. So this conclusion could raise questions from the public regarding the ability of the gov’t and nuclear authorities to assess whether nuclear plants should be restarted.

What until the insurance companies wake up to the fact all their actuary tablies are fouled up.

@jackassrig: you bring up an excellent point. (We touched on this last year.) It's likely the insurance/healthcare industry will become a major (behind-the-scenes) force in the phasing-out of nuclear energy technologies. With the 'Fukushima effect' at the forefront of their profit-projections, it's likely they'll 'tailor' policy coverage for the general public using undisclosed actuarial data. Given the unknowns (global impact of this catastrophe on people's health), they'll not be ignoring the impact on their bottom line. As things progress, the general public will be seeing less-and-less bang from their healthcare bucks. As is the case now, ever-more precious resources (healthcare dollars) will be allocated towards those deemed of socioeconomic value. The rest (of us) will be left to rot on the side of the road…

Aftershock – Our health insurance masters in the U.S. have always found a way to maximize their profits by promoting the judicious use and non-use of various treatment strategies as the situation dictates. I see them "tailoring" coverage down the road by increasing the emphasis on palliative (treating symptoms for comfort rather than cure) and hospice care rather than promoting more expensive curative treatments. If this is what you meant by the rest of us being left to rot on the side of the road I agree with your analysis.

The insurance companies are completely broke. That's why the government allowed them all to become 'banks', for access to free taxpayer cash at the Fed Discount Window. That's why the rush to National Health Care here in the US.
The rad sickness will wipe out the health care system, whether or not anyone has any money left to pay for anything.

Criminal lay charges or I will make a citizens arrest, someone fill me in on laws of Japan concerning citizens arrest.
I had to laugh nuclear facilities are safer now, is that a omission that they were not safe before or could have been run better. The only reason they are safer is because 48 are closed down.

I am very sorry to say this but there are ample of opportunities to test the results on the environment and all who live in it, of many nuclear disasters to come..

Governments can ask Helen Caldicott about health implications, because she knows, and they don't.

The US government (and UK and Australian and no doubt countless others) know VERY WELL what the biological effects of radiation include.
This knowledge has existed since the 1940s
Read Paul Langley’s Medicine and the Bomb: Deceptions from Trinity to Maralinga
http://www.fastpencil.com/publications/4282-Medicine-and-the-Bomb
The big lie is that the effects of radiation are not understood well.
They are.

Thanks Majia for the link. I downloaded it, and this quote caught my eye: "As Albert Einstein warned President Roosevelt in 1939, the effects of the weapon would exceed the size of a local, specific target, such as a port facility, by a wide margin. [60]"
from Medicine and the Bomb, pg 119.
Now lets see the the pro-nukers step us to the plate and discredit that statement. I am sure they could hire a good PR person and do just that.

So Majia. In Langley's Medicine and the Bomb he relates on page 52 that those who rested at the time the A bomb exploded in Hiroshima were less affected than those who exerted themselves. I am thinking that there were radioisotopes of cesium inhaled and with exertion there is more likely a need for potassium, and thus the cesium gets taken up and effectively poisons the ATP cycle in the mitochondria. Besides irradiating the cells that uptake it. The neutron particles would penetrate whether you were active or not. Langley details how neutron penetration caused the formation of phosphorus 32 in the bone. Not good. And people in our military and government knew from medical experiments that neutron bombardment was pretty deadly.
Report Comment
The report states, "know very little about the root causes of the Fukushima accident, along with the health and environmental implications" Bullsh#t!
Yeah, that's because the MSM won't do its job and point to all the environmental and epidemiological studies that were published by The New York Academy of Sciences, “Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment”.
There are literally thousands of studies that provide a clear and predictable roadmap to the horrific health consequences that will cause the premature deaths of hundreds of thousands, and more probably millions, when Fukushima Daiichi explodes again.
It’s interesting to note that the MSM has taken control of the discussion downplaying the true conditions and effects. The MSM continues to avoid discussing/publishing what happened at Chernobyl, and more particularly avoiding any comparisons to what has been learned about radiation exposure and the resulting diseases there. It’s like the Russian studies/research isn’t there.
Stanford and MIT, just to mention a few, are churning out position papers, not scientific research, for their nuclear benefactors forecasting that deaths from Fuku will be so minimal as to even notice…WTF. The MSM is only to happy to regurgitate their deceptive predictions and conclusions.

They (the nuclear cabal) are winning because the public has no representation or voice. Our congress, the administration, the president, the nuclear industry, the shill universities (like Stanford, MIT, and list goes on), and all those who make a buck supporting this deadly technology, are in it for the money…damn the public.

I read Julia Roberts wants to quit the movie business and become an organic farmer in Hawaii with her family. Big bucks do not correlate to a big brain.
Maybe you should be a little more techno Ms. Fake Erin Brokovich. Doesn't take much intelligence to quickly learn that any land mass within 5,000 miles east of Japan is in big trouble.
I know Hawaii depends almost entirely on the tourist industry so the government there is going to lie more than even the Japanese officials.
