Fukushima: It’s much worse than you think
Scientific experts believe Japan’s nuclear disaster to be far worse than governments are revealing to the public.

Momoko, a young Japanese woman evacuated Tokyo and left to Germany to receive a full body counter check …Results; highly contaminated with Cesium. She is afraid to go back, to breath, to eat there … that is the everyday life of Japanese people at the moment !
Yeah but people in Japan don’t want to hear about fukushima or radiation. It’s not only boring, it’s no fun. So congrat to the japanese government for sparing the public of news they don’t want to hear. Let’s just respect the public and let them go about their life.
What about all the other contamination coming from some of the other reactors like in the Miyagi prefecture and a few others that are not being talked about?
This map has been changed and had vital info deleted off it. Still some real color readings.
What is horrible is the fact that this has happened in larger doses in the past, mainly back in March, and only now are they finally admitting to just the edge of what is really coming down on Tokyo. It is worse than they will even talk about now.
Don’t try to imagine what will happen when all the people in Tokyo actually break through the imperial conditioning and realize they are all being poisoned, it will happen soon. They should have started the mass migration to the southern end of the island months ago.
Meanwhile, it is not a fun thing to watch this society slowly die off. It is time to be more concerned about what is happening in our own back yards and what is happening here is not so good.
@James. You say migration should have started months ago but who in the south would want more people? There isn’t enough jobs or space for that matter. Migration is just not a realistic option at all. People have jobs, debts, and bills to pay. Even those with kids will find good excuses and try not to look at the evidence.
Anyway, who will finance the mass migration? Tepco? Tax payers? Both unlikely.
There’s no easy solution. Intelligent people will get informed, and may find their own solutions. The sheep will get slaughtered. That’s just the way it goes.
Actually, it’s the rich people that will “find their own solutions.” Some of them fled Japan shortly after the incident in March. The poor and middle class are the ones who will “get slaughtered.” This is a rule of the same rotten capitalist system that produces nuclear plants.
would you please edit the imageshack album title and add the location where you made all these measurements? Without knowing the location your work is kinda worthless (since it could be anywhere in the world ..)
Also I apologize – I clicked onto ‘..comment’ and then saw that before that “report ..’ was written .. :-\ I already sent them a note asking to please insert a warning “Are you sure you want to report this comment (YES/NO)?” for semi-blind toads like me ..
Somebody is allowed to ship soil samples out of Japan????
Hasn’t somebody figured out yet that there are really bad “hot particles” all over the ground in some places around Japan.
What if those soil samples were from right outside the nuke plant and they had plutonium in them? What if that bag broke open in shipping? What if somebody decided to spread some of that soil in a park in NYC – or worse??? Is anybody on top of this stuff?
BTW – Japan could be shipping container loads of radioactive soil to the US and every country on earth and we wouldn’t know it, because as soon as the accident happened, every shipment crossing the Pacific Ocean was contaminated, and every radiation detector at the receiving ports went nuts, so they turned them all off.
They did the same thing in the airports. Do you recall early on after the accident that a flight from Japan set off radiation detectors at DFW and O’hare.
But don’t worry, the US Transportation Security Administration is carefully logging naked body scans of everybody – so they’ll let you know when the cancer comes on…
To add to the discussion many samples of plutonium (in early march) Were sent to avera labs (france).
They were the first five samples that came to main stream medias attention when plutonium was first reported as found…
So I just wanted to say, yes they are shipping samples. (I did not however watch this video. I just wanted to mention the fact that shipping has in the past occurred.
I think the Americium-241 levels of 3.7 Bq/unit is more dangerous than the cesium. Am-241 is an alpha emitter, and is the decay product of Plutonium-241.
No different here in Seattle. The rains have held off for the last six weeks, but they are coming this weekend.
I wish it could be as movie graceful as Rutger Hauer, white dove in hand, telling us of the glorious things that he has seen, before bowing his head in death. “Time to die.”
More like zombies stumbling around, bleeding out of orifices, looking for clean water and food.
Tokyo and even west of tokyo are seeing chernobyl fallout levels…
Meanwhile earlier in the saga. We learned that Washington, Oregon, and California were seeing twice the amount of radiation in consistence with the release scales (as reported by tepco).
I feel the japanese are hushing up about the level of contamination due to the extent of the damages they have created abroad.
Were just going to have to figure out how dead we are in the mean time.
As far as people finding their own solutions, not gonna happen. I find it almost impossible to believe that if what the NRC says about the explosion at reactor 3 is true and it did in fact eject a large part of (or most of, or all of??) it’s core, a large part was vaopized/aerisolized. Lets say 1000 pounds of MOX went up in smoke. That shit ain’t going away any time soon and it will poison everyone and everything it comes into contact with. You can’t breath the air, drink the water, eat the food, let’s just ‘live on earth’ and expect to not be affected by it. By affected I mean eventualy poisoned. Tacoma and XDr your comments on this please.
In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the… Anyone? Anyone?… the Great Depression, passed the… Anyone? Anyone? The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or lowered?… raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression. Today we have a similar debate over this. Anyone know what this is? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone seen this before? The Laffer Curve. Anyone know what this says? It says that at this point on the revenue curve, you will get exactly the same amount of revenue as at this point. This is very controversial. Does anyone know what Vice President Bush called this in 1980? Anyone? Something-d-o-o economics. “Voodoo” economics.
Sorry… Couldn’t resist as Tepco just seems more and more like the Three Stooges from Hell.
I am back in ER again with sick wife for third time in a month… Unexplained chest pains again… All tests show no heart issues detectable… Of course if I suggested any toxin issues they would probably straitjacket and lobotomize me.
Ex-prime Minister Kan already confessed there should be a 300km zone of exclusion (that includes whole of kanto area) and that since the beginning. they are now monitoring a very wide area (500km), it is enough to let us suggest that half east of honshu is a dangerous area. But still they prefer us to think this monitoring as “the situation is under control” more than a desperate message for saying that half honshu is highly dangerous and still they did nothing for people coming from fukushima prefecture, at least them…

Would you please quote your source stating that the samples WERE tested outside of Japan? I did not find any such claim …

Well, the person in the video says they just received something “quite interesting from Japan”
So I assume that person is not in Japan.
