Radiation levels in Fukushima basement too high – TEPCO, Voice of Russia, June 22, 2011:
[...] TEPCO, says in a statement that radiation levels in the basement of the second reactor is excessively high, with the level of accumulated water exceeding 6 metres.
According to experts, the abrupt jump in radiation may have been prompted by radioactive substance leaks from the lower pressure maintenance chamber. [...]

This horror has been going on for three months. Does anyone seriously believe that these reactors can be entombed safely for millennia? Or that it is possible for anyone to evade the consequences?

100 Days Later: Aftermath of the First Asian Nuclear Meltdown
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011
Now, one hundred days later, the situation still looks bad…. when the Fukushima incident was initially put at a 4 (bad), upgraded to 5 (super bad) and eventually evaluated as 7 (maximum bad). Reactors 1, 2, and 3 have melted down, and Reactor 4 has spent fuel sitting around in pools which may go critical. The Fukushima plant is still on fire, even 100 days after the event began. ….

Europeans: Hello! & thanks for your opposition to nukes.
I think what is being discussed here is an advisement, also reiterated by Dr. Christopher Busby some time ago, first published by a French non-profit called CRIIAD.
Early on CRIIAD noted that Europe was receiving radiation as well and that certain populations should avoid dairy, leafy greens, etc. For example, it restricted creamy cheeses for pregnant women & children. You can read their reports online in French and their advice has been repeated all over….http://www.criirad.org/

Tacomagroove, some weeks ago you wrote of 38 days we’d have left and about mid of June Tepco would evacuate the plant and we’d see a horrific explosion.
Now, it’s end of June. Nothing of your apocalyptic prophecies happened.
And now?
Report Comment
june 16th – 26th.
Tepco has publically stated that operations in both reactors 2, and 3 are impossible. Also that operations near reactor 3 are impossible, also that reactor 1 is at 200+ sieverts, with no reliable measuring onsite…
Id say I was pretty right.
Its very likely that tepco should have in fact already evacuated.
so I guess we all can infer what happens next.
Report Comment
Please tell me how you calculated the 38 days or at least the time interval of June 16th-26th.
The workers are working each day to cool the mess and to stop the “hot” water from pouring into the ocan. This is far rom evacuation.
Also, there is a big difference between “Its very likely that tepco should have in fact already evacuated.” and “they evacuated”.

Please answer my simple question.
Report Comment
Tepco already asked the Japanese Government of they could evacuate, the Prime Minister said something like ‘This is no joke’. I read about it on a couple of different sites.
“Then on March 14, the gravity of the plant’s situation was revealed by a second explosion, this time at Reactor No. 3, and a startling request that night from Tepco’s president, Masataka Shimizu: that Tepco be allowed to withdraw its employees from the plant because it had become too dangerous to remain.
When he heard this, Mr. Kan flew into a rage, said aides and advisers who were present. Abandoning the plant would mean losing control of the four stricken reactors; the next day, explosions occurred at the two remaining active reactors, No. 2 and No. 4.
“This is not a joke,” the prime minister yelled, according to the aides.”

I think they are dumping all the nuclear waste in the ocean to prevent an explosion. This is got to be against international law. This is the short term solution. This is completely destroying the ocean from which we get all our rain. The entire ecosystem of the whole world is being completely destroyed.
In other words, to avoid liability, the radiation will be spread over as wide an area as possible–the whole earth. The consequences are catastrophic and mind boggling.

21/06/2011 by Ray
To much lies has been coming out regarding Fukushima fallout. It is something in the Japanese ” Don`t loose face complex” that has been hindering the truth to come out. It is NOW well-known that the Japanese government admitted it kept in secret at least 5000 radiation measurements and assessments after the nuclear event which struck the Fukushima Daiichi NPP in March. This was done in order not to induce panic in the population, a representative of the staff dealing with the nuclear emergency told ITAR-TASS.
“It was a wrong decision,” he admitted, pointing out that all upcoming information about Fukushima Daiichi will be spread immediately. The system which collects data about radiation leaks from the Japanese nuclear power plants does not work effectively, Japanese media have reported, according to the Russian agency….
“Avoiding exposure is always the best plan but there is no way to avoid breathing in air contaminated with tiny hot particles. Inhalation issues are much more frightening than ingestion issues because you can pick and choose what you eat and drink but you can’t buy bottled air.”
“Nuclear Toxicity Syndrome,” one of the books authored by Dr. Sircus, is about “how to survive in nuclear and chemical hell,” he says. Dr. Sircus, a founding guide of Gulf Coast Barefoot Doctors, deliverers of Detox Survival Kits to hundreds of Gulf Of Mexico BP oil and Corexit poisoned survivors….

Had you seem this article from March
According to Yablokov, his book has been met “mostly with silence” by the World Health Organization and other agencies that “avoided discussion” about the findings. Some entities suspected of having nuclear energy interests have gone as far as to claim that stress caused more deaths from the Chernobyl disaster than its nuclear fallout. This is similar to the Gulf of Mexico operation following the April 20 Macondo oil well explosion, the subsequent unprecedented amounts of oil gushing into Earth’s waterways, and the U.S. government increasing mental health care for survivors while withholding desperately needed health care for injuries and diseases caused by the oil energy catastrophe.
Reporting on similarities between corporate government responses to the Gulf oil and nuclear energy assaults on humanity, Michael Kane wrote on CollapseNet, “As has been demonstrated by government conduct in the Gulf of Mexico in the wake of Deepwater Horizon and in Japan, life has taken a back seat to cost-cutting and public relations posturing. The game plan now appears to be to protect government and the nuclear industry from “excessive costs”… at any cost.”

Looking at the map, the Republic of South Africa is the farthest and safest. The Cape Town looks appealing now.
I think it is too early to make dramatic decisions, but I understand you have responsibility for your child.
I am in California, and very concerned, but not panicked yet. Just stocked up on food in water. Bought N95 masks as well, just in case I need them in the future.

Not a short term move, so be prepared, read up on local customs wherever, if you have family make that a first stop, and think about EVERYTHING you will need and DISCARD what you can do without. Make sure your daughter is prepared too. A week of preparation is better than months of confusion.
I would suggest Latin America only if I had family and cultural connections, for various reasons, otherwise somewhere where you would find a historic mutual misunderstanding.
Hope this helps.

I am still in Cali as well. Am talking up a move to the southern hemi,…but in the meantime I am taking all the suggested detoxes,….and they are helping! I take bentonite, zeolite, boron, apple pectin, and baking soda. In the past 25 days I have been doing this, after a brief time taking potassium iodide. I know for my own satisfaction, I had internal emitters. I had lung problems, that I have never had, plus bone and muscles crampings, spasms, and pain. They are all gone now.

Excellent self management of your detoxing, SJ. I wonder if air particulate matter that settles to the surface from the jet stream are attracted to the equator or repelled? Wife’s native country is Honduras. Closer to equator than any other option I have considered.

@ Jean – EU papal Lands live under totalitarian hell, all 100%fucu. All 27 countries constitutions collapsed via treason. So called Je§uit cat holic president – elected by secret hoodsters – not even names given for this club.
