    Here's more about the contaminated zones near Fukushima that will remain uninhabitable for decades.

    But the doctor assured the company that the death had nothing to do with having worked at Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant.

    With regards to this topic, I was able to watch a documentary on CNN. Many citizens of Japan would have survived if they immediately heeded the tsunami warnings. A survivor narrated that they've become used with warnings that didn't happen. This made them complacent.

    I fear that may happen with hurricanes here in the US.

    Fukushima nuclear disaster radiation release equal to 168 Hiroshima bombs
    Posted on August 25, 2011 by The Extinction Protocol

    August 25, 2011 – TOKYO – Japan’s government estimates the amount of radioactive caesium-137 released by the Fukushima nuclear disaster so far is equal to that of 168 Hiroshima bombs. Government nuclear experts, however, said the World War II bomb blast and the accidental reactor meltdowns at Fukushima, which has seen ongoing radiation leaks but no deaths so far, were beyond comparison. The amount of caesium-137 released since the three reactors were crippled by the March 11 quake and tsunami has been estimated at 15,000 tera becquerels, the Tokyo Shimbun reported, quoting a government calculation. That compares with the 89 tera becquerels released by “Little Boy”, the uranium bomb the United States dropped on the western Japanese city in the final days of World War II, the report said. The estimate was submitted by Prime Minister Naoto Kan’s cabinet to a lower house committee on promotion of technology and innovation, the daily said. The government, however, argued that the comparison was not valid. While the Hiroshima bomb claimed most of its victims in the intense heat-wave of a mid-air nuclear explosion and the highly radioactive fallout from its mushroom cloud, no such nuclear explosions hit Fukushima. There, the radiation has seeped from molten fuel inside reactors damaged by hydrogen explosions. “An atomic bomb is designed to enable mass-killing and mass-destruction by causing blast waves and heat rays and releasing neutron radiation,” the Tokyo Shimbun daily quoted a government official as saying. “It is not rational to make a simple comparison only based on the amount of isotopes released.” Government officials were not immediately available to confirm the report. The blinding blast of the Hiroshima bomb and its fallout killed some 140,000 people, either instantly or in the days and weeks that followed as high radiation or horrific burns took their toll. At Fukushima, Japan declared a 20-kilometre (12 mile) evacuation and no-go zone around the plant after the March 11 quake and tsunami triggered the world’s worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl 25 years ago. -Telegraph

    The news just keeps getting worse out of japan. Radiation equivalent of 163 Hiroshima bombs? Sewage that is so contaminated it can't be moved or stored? And of course the first worker to die from leukemia (although they claim its not due to his work at Fukushima!) More denials from the nuke industry...

    In the last of those links, I just read that the Industry Minister has declared that he doesn't think any more nuke plants will be built in Japan. Wow.

    Government Agencies And Private Companies Refuse To Test Canadian Soil For Radiation
    By Terry Wilson– June 25, 2011
    http://canadianawareness.org/2011/0...-companies-refuse-to-test-soil-for-radiation/


    http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia-pacific/2011/08/20118255436253789.html


    as reactor #1 burns through the ground sending up particulate and steam in greater quantity than before it breached the reactor vessel, then the floor of the reactor building radiation levels have gone UP not DOWN
    ... 6 months later ...
