Japan declares no-go zone near nuclear plant, as evacuees rush to collect belongingshttp://www.chicagotribune.com/business/sns-ap-as-japan-earthquake,0,3608283.storyERIC TALMADGE Associated Press 5:28 a.m. CDT, April 21, 2011 FUTABA, Japan (AP) — Residents rushed back into the 12-mile (20-kilometer) evacuation zone around Japan's radiation-spewing nuclear power plant Thursday, grabbing whatever belongings they could before an order went into effect legally banning entry to the area. A stream of evacuees ventured into deserted towns near the plant, some in white protective suits and others in face masks and rain gear they hoped would protect against radiation. Most raced through the zone with car windows closed, their vehicles crammed with clothing and valuables. "This is our last chance, but we aren't going to stay long. We are just getting what we need and getting out," said Kiyoshi Kitajima, an X-ray technician, who dashed to his hospital in Futaba, a town next-door to the plant, to collect equipment before the order went into effect at midnight. Officials said the order announced Thursday was meant to limit exposure to radiation leaking from the plant and to prevent thefts. Almost all the zone's nearly 80,000 residents left when the area was evacuated on March 12, but police had not been able to legally block them from going back. ---------------------------------------------------- Check out our crossword, sudoku and Jumble puzzles >> (<-- no kidding, stuck in the middle of this article! Escape hatch, go back to sleep....)---------------------------------------------------- Police had no estimate Thursday of the exact number of people who have returned to the zone or who still might be living there. Under a special nuclear emergency law, people who enter the zone will now be subject to fines of up to 100,000 yen ($1,200) or possible detention of up to 30 days. Up to now, defiance of the evacuation order was not punishable by law. The order angered some residents who fled their homes nearly empty-handed when they were told to evacuate after last month's tsunami and earthquake wrecked the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant's power and cooling systems. "I initially thought we would be able to return within a few days. So I brought nothing except a bank card," said Kazuko Suzuki, 49, also from Futaba. "I really want to go back. I want to check if our house is still there," said Suzuki, who fled with her teenage son and daughter. "My patience has run out. I just want to go home." The no-go order was not due to any particular change in conditions inside the plant, which appear to have somewhat stabilized. Even under the best-case scenario, however, the plant's operator says it will take at least six months to bring its reactors safely into a cold shutdown. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said authorities would arrange brief visits, allowing one person per household to return by bus for a maximum of two hours to collect necessary belongings. Participants would have to go through radiation screening, he said. "We beg the understanding of residents. We really want residents not to enter the areas," Edano told reporters. "Unfortunately, there are still some people in the areas." Residents chafed at the limit to just one person per household. No visits will be allowed in a two mile (three kilometer) area closest to the plant, said Hidehiko Nishiyama of Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, confirming reports that zone would be completely off-limits. Details were still being worked out. Katsunobu Sakurai, mayor of Minami Soma, where about half the 71,000 residents lived in areas that will now be off-limits, questioned the rationale for the way the evacuation zone was decided. "It feels like some outsider who doesn't know anything about our geography sat at a desk and drew these circles," Sakurai said. "The zones have zero scientific basis. Radiation doesn't travel in neat circles. Just putting up circles around the plant is unreasonable." Prime Minister Naoto Kan, who has been under fire from the opposition over the government's handling of the crisis, visited the region Thursday, giving a giving a pep talk to workers at a nuclear crisis management center in Fukushima. Fukushima's governor, who has also been critical of the government's performance, said he urged Kan to ensure the government properly handles the disaster and related compensation issues. "I told the prime minister that I strongly hope that evacuees can return home as early as possible," said the governor, Yuhei Sato. Meanwhile, new data from Japan's National Police Agency showed that two-thirds of the victims identified in last month's earthquake and tsunami were elderly — and almost all of them drowned. The agency said 65 percent of the 11,108 confirmed fatalities of known age were 60 or older. Another 1,899 victims were of unknown age. Adding those who are still missing, the earthquake and resulting tsunami killed an estimated 27,500 people. The police agency said nearly 93 percent of the victims had drowned. Others perished in fires, were crushed to death or died from other causes. The northeastern coast hardest hit by the disasters had a high concentration of elderly residents.

Just more proof that Governments are trying to downplay the severity of the situation. The Japanese people will not live inside the evacuation zone for many years, as we may never know the true contamination of the soil or if they will ever be able to stop the radiation from leaking. It will be decades before Japan recovers from all this.

Follow up article regarding radiation in breast milk. Radiation Detected In Breast Milk Of Four Japanese Mothers4/21/2011 2:19 PM ET http://www.rttnews.com/Content/GeneralNews.aspx?Id=1603795&SM=1(RTTNews) - The Naoto Kan government in Japan has come under increasing pressure to launch a full-scale inquiry into the fall-out of Fukushima nuclear disaster on women and children following detection of small amounts of radioactive iodine in the breast milk of four lactating women, reports said on Thursday. It was in the wake of tests carried out on breast milk samples collected from nine women living north or northeast of the capital, Tokyo, that the matter came to light. The civilian nuclear power plant at Fukushima,which was devastated by the March 11 killer earthquake and ensuing deadly tsunami, has been leaking radioactive material amidst efforts by Japanese technicians to stem it. Among the four who tested positive, the highest reading of 36.3 becquerels of radioactive iodine per kilogram was detected in the mother of an eight-month-old baby hailing from Kashiwa in Chiba prefecture.The readings though were well below the prescribed safety limit of 100 becquerels per kilogram of tap water consumption for infants below the age of one. Also, no traces of radioactive Cesium were found in the breast milk samples. Currently, there are no safety standards for radioactive substances in breast milk as laid down by Japan's Nuclear Safety Commission. The findings revealed in a study conducted by a Japanese civic group has led to mounting concerns over the impact of radiation contamination on women and children. In other developments, the President of TEPCO that runs Fukushima Daiichi rubbished Japanese media reports on the company having donated huge sums of money to opposition Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) over the last three years.Japanese authorities last week raised the nuclear disaster level at the quake-stricken plant to the highest. Previously, the highest level for nuclear mishaps had been applied only to the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster in the erstwhile Soviet Union. The severity of the nuclear crisis was reassessed in line with the parameters prescribed by the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES). Officially, the death toll in the earthquake-tsunami has been put at 13,130, while 13,718 people have been listed as missing. by RTT Staff Writer For comments and feedback: editorial@rttnews.com |

Cesium-137 westcoast fallout for April 17-20 ConfirmedIt is interesting that there have been noticable Cesium 137 in rainwater on days just as expected....
Note: 04/14 and 04/20 - as reported "tons" of fallout are spread out and will "accumulate"... So low readings should not make anyone feel better. .... A Nuke "only" has a few pound of material... These Nuke plants stored TONS of material....

TEPCO admits nuclear meltdown occurred
at Fukushima reactor 16 hours after quakehttp://mdn.mainichi.jp/mdnnews/news/20110516p2a00m0na028000c.htmlTokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) admitted for the first time on May 15 that most of the fuel in one of its nuclear reactors at the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant had melted only about 16 hours after the March 11 earthquake struck a wide swath of northeastern Japan and triggered a devastating tsunami. According to TEPCO, the operator of the crippled nuclear power plant, the emergency condenser designed to cool the steam inside the pressure vessel of the No. 1 reactor was working properly shortly after the magnitude-9.0 earthquake, but it lost its functions around 3:30 p.m. on March 11 when tsunami waves hit the reactor. Based on provisional analysis of data on the reactor, the utility concluded that the water level in the pressure vessel began to drop rapidly immediately after the tsunami, and the top of the fuel began to be exposed above the water around 6 p.m. Around 7:30 p.m., the fuel was fully exposed above the water surface and overheated for more than 10 hours. At about 9 p.m., the temperature in the reactor core rose to 2,800 degrees Celsius, the melting point for fuel. At approximately 7:50 p.m., the upper part of the fuel started melting, and at around 6:50 a.m. on March 12, a meltdown occurred. On the reason why it took over two months after the earthquake to reveal the information, TEPCO said it had only been able to start obtaining detailed data on the temperature and pressure in the reactor for analysis in early May. Junichiro Matsumoto, a senior TEPCO official, said, "Because there is similar damage to the fuel rods at the No. 2 and 3 reactors, the bottoms of their pressure vessels could also have been damaged." He said the utility would carry out similar analysis on the two reactors. Hiroaki Koide, professor of nuclear safety engineering at Kyoto University, was critical of TEPCO. "They could have assumed that when the loss of power made it impossible to cool down the reactor, it would soon lead to a meltdown of the core. TEPCO's persistent explanation that the damage to the fuel had been limited turned out to be wrong," he said.

That what rense and Celente were saying yesterday May 23, 2011 That Reactor 1 has had full meltdown - Chernobel: : Rense & Celente - People Don't Want To Know - VidAlso, I personally believe the high altitude radiation (highly charged particles) is effecting the weather in the U.S. May 25 and it's snowing here in Lake Tahoe. Radioactive snow? Not to mention the tornadoes .... |

This is so weird. We've got a nuclear disaster that's apparently way worse than Chernobyl, but the establishment doesn't seem to give a shit.  Slow kill or non-issue? Some choice! |

I'm confused. Why haven't we already seen cases of radiation sickness in North America? Why!  Let alone mass cases! Shit, it sounds like the radiation is being pumped out, continuously, for months! Maybe this is the mass kill -- eek!  But really, if you wanted to genocide 3/4 of the world's population, why not just skip the police state / martial law phase and go straight for the throat? Maybe the fact that so many have woken up, and are still waking up, to their schemes, they realized they miscalculated the hostile response from the serfs?  |

Radiation in Fukushima: Government Doubles the Cumulative Radiation Level in Namie-Machi to 61 Millisieverts, Citing Calculation Error
3 June 2011, (Ex-SKF.blogspot) http://ex-skf.blogspot.com/2011/06/radiation-in-fukushima-government.htmlThe "impressive, well-organized" (according to IAEA) Japanese government disclosed that the Ministry of Education and Science made a calculation error, and the cumulative radiation level from March 12 to May 11 at a location in Namie-machi in Fukushima Prefecture was 61 millisieverts, not 31 as had been previously announced. The cumulative radiation level at the location in Namie-machi up to May 25 was 73.9 millisieverts. Oh wait.. The cumulative radiation increased 13 millisieverts in 2 weeks? That's over 20% increase!Is it only for the Namie-machi numbers that the Ministry made a calculation error? From Tokyo Shinbun, citing Kyodo News (9:42PM JST 6/3/2011): (google trans from Japenese) http://tinyurl.com/3tvnbfuThe Ministry of Education and Science announced on June 3 that the estimated cumulative radiation level from March 12 to May 25 at one location in Namie-machiFukushima Prefecture, 22 kilometers northwest of Fukushima I Nuke Plant, was 73.9 millisieverts. The Ministry also disclosed the cumulative radiation estimate map of the same period in the area around Fukushima I Nuke Plant. Previously, the Ministry of Education and Science announced the cumulative radiation at this particular location up to May 11 was 31.7 millisieverts, but it corrected the number to 61.1 millisieverts. According to the person [unnamed] in charge at the Ministry, "A wrong formula was used in calculation in some parts." Calculation errors were found for 10 additional locations within Namie-machi, resulting in a vast underestimation of the radiation levels. By the way, the video of a cute, ear-less rabbit http://ex-skf.blogspot.com/2011/05/rabbit-without-ears-allegedly-born.html was taken at a Namie-machi location. It was not a hoax, and it was later reported by a major newspaper (Sankei Shinbun). The person who uploaded that video said in the Youtube description that the cumulative radiation level in Namie-machi had been much higher (as measured by the residents) than the Ministry's number, up to 3 times as much. Well, Namie residents were right.

At the stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant, a robot sent into the building housing Reactor No. 1 on Saturday detected the highest levels of radiation measured since the crisis began on March 11. According to the Japan Times, The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) reported that radiation levels in the air around Reactor 1 were at 4000 millisieverts per hour, an exposure level equivalent to approximately 40,000 chest x-rays. TEPCO says it has no plans to send workers into the area because of its dangerously high radioactivity. On Friday, a spokesman for TEPCO announced that steam was rising from underneath the reactor building. That afternoon, Japanese national television carried blurry footage of smoke rising from an opening in the floor. Underneath the reactor, an estimated 40,000 tons of “highly contaminated” radioactive water have collected in what is known as the pressure suppression containment vessel, and it’s this water that is believed to be producing the steam. TEPCO officials warn that the water will begin to overflow from the storage vessel by June 20 as it reaches its maximum capacity, sooner if there are heavy rains. More at EndtheLie.com - http://EndtheLie.com/2011/06/05/fukushima-reactor-no-1-more-radioactive-than-ever/#ixzz1OS0niDVj:\ I guess they had to speed up the whole global depopulation. I'm surprised rad sickness hasn't hit anyone on the West Coast, although I know we're going to see some rises in cancer rates coming up. Hopefully I'm not one of them |

The alternative media has been talking about this fact since the horrific Fukushima incident started while the corporate special interest media and governments continue to pretend it is just the equivalent of external radiation like an X-Ray. This is far from the case. The incredibly radioactive particles release radiation at such a small distance when ingested that even the smallest particle can have horrific effects upon the human body. This is not a crackpot theory, it is basic physics and one need only exercise the powers of logic and reasoning to see why these are so much more dangerous than external radiation sources like the sun or an X-Ray machine. Our skin acts as a natural shield to weak external radiation sources. Our relatively thick layer of dead skin cells serves to keep most of the everyday particles from damaging us.

TEPCO starts ventilating No. 2 reactor
11 June 2011, (MarketWatch) http://www.marketwatch.com/story/tepco-starts-ventilating-no-2-reactor-2011-06-11Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Saturday it began operating ventilation equipment at the No. 2 reactor building of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to reduce radiation levels inside the unit, Kyodo News reported.If airborne radioactive materials are fully removed after running the equipment for three days, the utility known as TEPCO plans to open the doors of the reactor building and begin work inside the unit. Highly radioactive materials and high humidity inside the building have prevented workers from entering the site to check measuring gauges and conduct piping work, hampering efforts by the utility to eventually bring the reactor to a stable cold shutdown. The ventilation equipment has filters to absorb radioactive materials.
