I would like to read it.
I don't understand the pages above. I need to see the report.

from my understanding.. the 24 may report underestimated the cesium ratio.. the new figures (there seem to be 2), show the increase in the chart with some variability.. giving 2 outcomes..
what the eck is .."ratio of susceptibility".. i suspect it is an algorithmic/mathematical term to explain the unknown.. statistically speaking of course
the whole document reads like..
"health effects already?" … "we better up the emissions to try to match the damage better.. and help us to confound any clever independent investigations"..
and you can guarantee the new figures are low as well.. imho
smoke and mirrors..??

not based on new evidence of contamination because little has been done to find the spread of contamination..

I assume you're right. And they even write about "Other uncertainties" at the end of the document. That tells me (after all you got to know about them) that they try "legally" not to tell the truth.

The children in the Chernobyl region have heart pathologies you’d expect to see in very old people… Foreign teams of doctors go into Belarus like a MASH unit to perform 100s and 100s of heart surgeries on children, to put patches on their hearts because they have holes in their hearts. And its the radioactive cesium.

Two months ago RT news reported Tepco's latest figures on Fukushima cesium releases being 4 times worse than Chernobyl:
http://www.rt.com/news/fukushima-chernobyl-cesium-137-contamination-145/
SP: But RT warned Telco was lowballing the figures:
Excerpt: "The problem is that TEPCO only counts the amount of iodine-131 and cesium-137 leaked from the Fukushima reactor, and compares them to the whole range of isotopes that were discharged at Chernobyl.
And if compared properly, the numbers tell a different story.
The final estimate suggests that 400,000 TBq of iodine-131 leaked from Fukushima, which is indeed lower than during the Chernobyl incident, but only 4.5 times lower.
Regarding the emission of cesium-137, Fukushima is far ahead its rival. Post-Fukushima estimations suggest that Chernobyl put out a total of 85,000 TBq of caesium-137 over the course of the disaster. The Fukushima reactor, however, has so far released 360,000 TBq of cesium-137, according to TEPCO."

Hi Sickputer
Im not sure if it makes me feel any better but the cover of The Georgia Straight here in Vancouver says :
nuclear fishin'
Japanese tests have revealed high radiation levels in some Pacific Ocean seafood, creating concern among doctors at BC universities.
The entire cover is a carton of a store's seafood showcase which has two-three eyed salmon lying on ice with a dosimeter reading off the charts by the FRESH FISH signage…. inside there's a two page article on topic with a chart demonstrating ten measured species showing significant rises in cesium this last year. Salmon appears to be the greatest concern and highest rise…even the landlocked samples.

Fukushima has nearly 10 times more nuclear fuel than Chernobyl.
It also means that a single spent fuel pool – at reactor 4, which has lost all of its water and thus faces a release of its radioactive material – has 75% as much nuclear fuel as at all of Chernobyl.
Specifically, Tepco very recently transferred many more radioactive spent fuel rods into the storage pools. According to Associated Press, there were – at the time of the earthquake and tsunami – 3,400 tons of fuel in seven spent fuel pools plus 877 tons of active fuel in the cores of the reactors.
That totals 4,277 tons of nuclear fuel at Fukushima.
Which means that there is almost 24 times more nuclear fuel at Fukushima than Chernobyl.

U.N. Chief Criticizes Test Ban Treaty Holdouts
Feb. 17, 2012
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Friday issued a pointed message to the eight nations holding up entry into force of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (see GSN, Feb. 6).
“There is no good reason to avoid signing or ratifying this treaty. Any country opposed to signing or ratifying it is simply failing to meet its responsibilities as a member of the international community," Ban said in Vienna, Austria. "It is irresponsible to see this treaty still waiting to come into effect 15 years after it was opened for signature."
"..The treaty has been signed by 182 nations and ratified by 157 of those states. However, it cannot take on the power of law until ratified by 44 "Annex 2" nations that possessed nuclear power or research programs while participating in negotiations on the accord in the 1990s. There are eight holdouts from that group — China, Egypt, India, Iran, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan and the United States…"
"..Ban said he is "ready to visit those capitals suspicious about the reliability of the treaty’s monitoring and inspection systems" (Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization release, Feb. 16)…"

of course NILU used the data from the test ban treaty monitoring stations.. initially, then in april 2011 they said that the projections were too high so they closed of the server but continued to post projection maps.. how do i know this? i was in norway and managed to access the mainframe briefly and saw the maps listed as normal.. i got in because the engineers were updating the server in the summer..
the whole sordid story is on enenews somewhere…
but i thought i would explain why norway is so pliable to usa nuke military commands.. the usgs has fully mapped norway and intends to make it as flat as denmark, or maybe leave a hole ?

Just a few quick thoughts on Thorium.
Nilu stopped their global radiation forecast mid May 2011, and then by the beginning of June they stopped their national local radiation readings with no warning. I was wondering why? So I did a bit of fishing around.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2008/02/15/us-norway-nuclear-thorium-idUSL1538756620080215
The tentative conclusion I reached was that Norway wants to be a big exporter of Thorium and so did not wish to rock the nuclear boat.
Thorium is the nuclear industries PR wet dream if the truth of Fukushima gets out. It is also Norway’s wet dream to replace their diminishing oil resources. Also, it is in Norway’s best interest to support the slightly problematic financial system, as they have invested all those oil billions within it (with a view to supporting the Norwegian economy for a long time into the future).
http://www.torium.se/ThoriuminNorway.htm
I think that Norway has been pressurised by this fact. Why do I think this?
Norway is extremely pollution conscious and as far as I am aware they were still doing radiation testing in their own country even after they stopped the ever popular fallout forecasts. I think the timing of these two facts shows a dispute within the government agencies. Maybe though, they stopped local readings because of a huge increase in the atmosphere, that would possibly be another explanation of this last point, time will tell. Unless a whistleblower steps forward that is!
And for you…
