Fukushima Actually "Much Worse" Than So Far Disclosed, Say Experts
PuceBaboon writes "The BBC is reporting that experts are casting doubt on the veracity of statements from both the Tokyo Electric Power Company and the Japanese government regarding the seriousness of the problems at the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Not only are the constant leaks releasing radioactivity into the ocean (and thus into the food chain), but now there are also worries that the spent fuel rod storage pools may be even more unstable than first thought. An external consultant warns, 'The Japanese have a problem asking for help. It is a big mistake; they badly need it.'"
When the Russians suffered the previous greatest (admitted) nuclear disaster, they moved as quickly as possible to entomb the site in actively cooled concrete, and used as much man power as possible IN THE FIRST INSTANCE to render the site as safe as possible for the foreseeable future. The Russians lost vast numbers of Humans to the consequences of radiation, but being a REAL nation, didn't feel the need to seed media sites across the planet with lies about the 'safety' of nuclear contamination and radiation.
Japan did the exact opposite. They employed ZERO real engineering at Fukushima to deal with the disaster. Instead, they launched, with the full co-operation of the owner of major media outlets across Asia and the West (Slashdot included) the world's greatest propaganda psy-op. Large numbers of people have died as a result of on-site radiation effects, but the Japanese government silences the families of the dead by linking compensation packages with confidentiality agreements. Filthy pro-nuclear power shills use this silence to claim that no-one died as a result of this 'accident' (if you consider extremely gross negligence to ever be an 'accident').
Unlike after Chernobyl, after Fukushima, governments in the West immediately switched off their public radiation monitoring services, so they could claim whatever lies they desired about the spread of radiation through the atmosphere. This meant that where, for instance, sheep from certain,locales in the UK were declared "unfit for Human consumption" for years after Chernobyl, the population of the Earth were informed that there was NO significant atmospheric fallout from Fukushima. And yet Fukushima actually placed hundreds of times more radiation into the atmosphere than Chernobyl.
Explosions at Fukushima actually vaporised an incredible amount of plutonium. This was the worst possible early outcome of a nuclear accident, but sites like Slashdot immediately declared that decades old scientific consensus about plutonium was 'wrong', and that ingesting such materials is actually 'good' for Humans. The usual industry lies about 'safe' levels of radiation exposure got trotted out too, and governments across the planet raised the 'safe' levels for public exposure to moronic degrees.
Radiation is like being shot at by bullets. ONE bullet can kill you, but if you are far enough away from a random shooter, it becomes a probability game. So, you might say after 1000 bullets, your chance of being shot is 50%, but that does not make ONE BULLET a 'safe' level. And yet, the people around Fukushima were definitively told by government scientists that radiation below a certain level was COMPLETELY harmless.
Why didn't the world insist that Japan, with its incredible industrial resources, neutralise the threat of Fukushima as well as the Russians did with Chernobyl? Here's why. Every major nation wanted the disaster to play out, so they could study the full aspects of an uncontrolled contamination accident. This area of Japan is one giant experimental research environment. The people living there are lab rats. Remember all those medical atrocities inflicted on blacks, orphans, prisoners, and other unfortunates in US history, in the name of 'research'? Fukushima is being used in the same way.
