Radioactive Fukushima Wild Boars Have Taken Over Since People Evacuated
They descend on towns and villages, plundering crops and rampaging through homes. They occasionally attack humans. But perhaps most dangerous of all, the marauders carry with them highly radioactive material. Hundreds of toxic wild boars have been roaming across northern Japan, where the meltdown of the Fukushima nuclear plant six years ago forced thousands of residents to desert their homes, … Continue reading
Expert Warns of Collapse at Fukushima Reactor: “It Would Be the End of Japan”… Serious Structural Damage at Unit 2
“It’s a fantasy” that they can decommission plant — AP: Melted fuel has broken pieces of structure in containment vessel. Interview with Dr. Helen Caldicott on Nuclear Hotseat hosted by Libbe HaLevy, Feb 22, 2017 (emphasis added): Dr. Caldicott: “Those incredibly high measurements [of radioactivity recently detected in Fukushima Daiichi’s Reactor No. 2 containment vessel] mean, I think almost certainly, … Continue reading
Many at Fukushima “Now Have Brain Damage” — Secret Hospital Used to Treat Those Sickened by Radiation Exposure
Kyodo News, Mar 1, 2017: A former worker at the site of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster filed a lawsuit Tuesday with the Sapporo District Court seeking labor compensation from the state for his subsequent development of three types of cancer… The man was diagnosed with bladder, stomach and colon cancers between June 2012 and May 2013 after taking part … Continue reading
Scientists Fear Fukushima Radiation Hitting US to Worsen…Billions are Being Exposed
TV: Scientists fear Fukushima radiation hitting US to worsen… “A lot of people are very concerned” — Experts: Billions are being exposed… Reactors “will continue to pour water into Pacific for the rest of time” (VIDEO) Arnie Gundersen, former nuclear engineer (emphasis added), Feb 2, 2017: “When I went to school, the saying was ‘dilution is the solution to pollution,’ … Continue reading
Fukushima Evacuees Being Encouraged Back to Highly Irridiated Homes – Greenpeace
The Japanese government is encouraging evacuees from Fukushima to return to the nuclear disaster site despite dangerous levels of radiation, according to a report released by Greenpeace. The Fukushima prefecture is planning to cut housing support for evacuees starting 31 March, when the evacuation order for the 6,000 residents of the village of Iitate is due to be lifted. This … Continue reading
Fukushima Plant MUST Be Entombed Like Chernobyl — Reactors Will Remain a Threat to World “For the Rest of Time”
“Humanly impossible” to clean up due to shockingly high radiation levels EnviroNews World News, Feb 6, 2017: The astronomical readings bring major concerns to a cleanup operation already spiraling out of control — flying blindly into territory previously uncharted in the history of nuclear power…. To top it off, 530 sieverts per hour might not be the worst cleanup workers … Continue reading
The Potential Catastrophe of Reactor 2 at Fukushima Daiichi: What Effect for the Pacific and the Entire Northern Hemisphere?
Expert: “Potential Global Catastrophe” from Fukushima Unit 2 highly radioactive fuel… Reactor could be destroyed, “making Tokyo area uninhabitable”… This is “most dreaded” scenario — Already “partially liquefying” below reactors It is clear to us now that the radiation level in the containment vessel of the crippled Reactor 2 is much higher than experts had believed… The danger of Reactor … Continue reading
Another Fukushima Fail: Tepco’s Toughest Robot Fails Inside Fukushima Reactor
The ‘tough-built’ radiation-resistant robot, made to withstand up to 1000 sieverts per hour (Sv/hr) of radiation, had to be called back prematurely due to radiation-induced glitches, indicating that radiation levels in Fukushima reactor are even higher than previously estimated. Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), the owner and operator of the now-defunct Fukushima-1 nuclear plant in Japan, had to pull its … Continue reading
Japan’s Fukushima Reactor Radiation Now at ‘Unimaginable’ Levels
The radiation levels at Japan’s crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant are now at “unimaginable” levels. Adam Housley, who reported from the area in 2011 following the catastrophic triple-meltdown, said this morning that new fuel leaks have been discovered. He said the radiation levels – as high as 530 sieverts per hour – are now the highest they’ve been since 2011 … Continue reading
The Highest Fukushima Radioactivity since 2011 and its ‘Unimaginable’ Consequences
As the six anniversary of perhaps the world’s worst nuclear disaster in history (now rivaling Chernobyl) approaches next month, the worst radioactive conditions seen at the Fukushima nuclear power plant since the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami triple core meltdown are now dangerously spewing a record setting 530 sieverts an hour inside the reactor 2 containment vessel. To help … Continue reading
