FUKUSHIMA COVERUP IN NORTH AMERICA - PEOPLE NOT TOLD ABOUT PLUME OF RADIOACTIVITY IN THE AIR

THAT WAS IN 2011 - THE COVERUP CONTINUES ...
 

The governments of the United States and Canada were aware in 2011 of the thick plume of radioactivity headed to the North American west coast - but never alerted the public.  On the contrary, all statements minimized the threat. 

They are still minimizing the threat, although the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant in Japan continues to spew highly radioactive waste into the ocean and the air. 

 

Winds and ocean currents bring the worst of this radioactivity to our west coast.  Fish are already contaminated.  Eat fish at your own risk. 

But the air is something we can't do without. 

 

Authorities could have done their duty and warned people during the worst of the nuclear cloud over North America to stay indoors if they could, and to wear masks if they went outside.

Interview with nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen of Fairewinds, KBOO, Nov. 8, 2013 (at 26:00 in):

From Portland on the south, to Vancouver on the north, there was significant hot particles deposited locally.

 

One of the scientists we work with had air filters, continuous air monitors, set up in Seattle and we could clearly show that the average person in Seattle was ingesting about 10 hot particles a day into their lungs. No matter what you do you can’t get that out, the particle size was such that once you breathed it in, it lodged in your lung […]

 

What people in Seattle could have done were to put air masks on, but of course by the time we got that data and analyzed it, it was May and the worst of the cloud had already passed. The authorities did know about it though.

I’m absolutely convinced that authorities did know about it and chose to keep us all in the dark.

 

There was a case up in Seattle where the government announced that it was going to be flying helicopters up and down the coast all the way through the Seattle area. They said they were doing background radiation monitoring, and it was just purely coincidence that they were doing it just 90 days after Fukushima Daiichi.   I don’t believe that.

I think that those helicopters were looking for hot particles and we were not told the outcome of those helicopter surveys. They said it was a national security secret. So authorities did know and didn’t warn us [...]

Fukushima Radioactive Aerosol Dispersion

The earthquake occurred on March 11th at 14:26 Japan Standard Time (JST), the tsunami about one hour later at 15:41, and by 16:36 a nuclear emergency was reported. By the early morning hours of March 12th, radioactive emissions were occurring from the plant.

Scientific Paper: “The Fukushima Radioactive Plume Contaminated the Entire Northern Hemisphere During a Relatively Short Period of Time”

 

Zero Hedge - September 2012  - We warned mere days after the Japanese earthquake that the West Coast of North America could be hit with radiation. Our concerns – unfortunately – have been validated.  See this and this.

 

The peer-reviewed scientific journal Science of the Total Environment reports: Massive amounts of anthropogenic radionuclides were released from the nuclear reactors located in Fukushima (northeastern Japan) between 12 and 16 March 2011 following the earthquake and tsunami.

 

Ground level air radioactivity was monitored around the globe immediately after the Fukushima accident. This global effort provided a unique opportunity to trace the surface air mass movement at different sites in the Northern Hemisphere.

Even Miniscule Amounts of Radiation

Can Be Dangerous

Posted on August 23, 2013 by WashingtonsBlog

  Science Daily reports: 

Even the very lowest levels of radiation are harmful to life, scientists have concluded in the Cambridge Philosophical Society’s journal Biological Reviews.  The scientists reported significant negative effects in a range of categories, including immunology, physiology, mutation and disease occurrence. 

Fukushima has spewed much more radioactive cesium and iodine than Chernobyl. The amount of radioactive cesium released by Fukushima was some 20-30 times higher than initially admitted. Japanese experts say that Fukushima is currently releasing up to 93 billion becquerels of radioactive cesium into the ocean each day. And the cesium levels hitting the west coast of North America will keep increasing for several years. Fukushima is spewing more and more radiation into the environment, and the amount of radioactive fuel at Fukushima dwarfs Chernobyl.)

 

Cesium-137 mixes easily with water and is chemically similar to potassium. It thus mimics how potassium gets metabolized in the body and can enter through many foods, including milk.

 

In addition to spewing massive amounts of radioactive iodine 131, Fukushima also pumped out huge amounts of radioactive iodine 129 – which has a half-life of 15.7 million years. Fukushima has also dumped up to 900 trillion becquerels of radioactive strontium-90 – which is a powerful internal emitter which mimics calcium and collects in our bones – into the ocean.

 

Cesium-137 and radioactive iodine – the two main radioactive substances being spewed by the leaking Japanese nuclear plants – are not naturally-occurring substances, and can become powerful internal emitters which can cause tremendous damage to the health of people who are unfortunate enough to breathe in even a particle of the substances, or ingest them in food or water.

 

Unlike low-levels of radioactive potassium found in bananas – which our bodies have adapted to over many years – cesium-137 and iodine 131 are brand new, extremely dangerous substances.

 

And unlike naturally-occurring internal emitters like radon and radium – whose distribution is largely concentrated in certain areas of the country – radioactive cesium and iodine, as well as strontium and other dangerous radionuclides, are being distributed globally through weapons testing and nuclear accidents.

 

Ever since nuclear weapons were first developed 68 years ago, the U.S. and other governments have been covering up the dangers of radiation.

 

Even though the science is clear that even tiny doses of radiation may be dangerous, political decisions have been made to allow low-level radiation. See this and this.

Study on the serious danger for life 

of even small amounts of Cesium 137

Cesium-137 is among the most common heavy fission products. Fission of various isotopes of thorium, uranium, and plutonium all yield about 6% cesium-137.

This high fission yield results in an abundance of cesium-137 in spent nuclear fuel, as well as in regions contaminated by fission byproducts after nuclear accidents.  The large quantities of cesium-137 produced during fission events pose a persistent hazard.

Its half-life of about 30 years is long enough that objects and regions contaminated by cesium-137 remain dangerous to humans for a generation or more, but it is short enough to ensure that even relatively small quantities of cesium-137 release dangerous doses of radiation.
