Testing Geiger Counters. Govt Fact Sheets: Radiation. 1/3 of Japan should be evacuated. 'No safe levels' of radiation in Japan - Features. In a nuclear crisis that is becoming increasingly serious, Japan’s Nuclear Safety Agency confirmed that radioactive iodine-131 in seawater samples taken near the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power complex that was seriously damaged by the recent tsunami off the coast of Japan is 4,385 times the level permitted by law.

'No safe levels' of radiation in Japan - Features

Airborne radiation near the plant has been measured at 4-times government limits. Tokyo Electric Power Company, the company that operates the crippled plant, has begun releasing more than 11,000 tons of radioactive water that was used to cool the fuel rods into the ocean while it attempts to find the source of radioactive leaks. The water being released is about 100 times more radioactive than legal limits. Meanwhile, water that is vastly more radioactive continues to gush into the ocean through a large crack in a six-foot deep pit at the nuclear plant. Yet scientists and activists question these government and nuclear industry “safe” limits of radiation exposure. There Is No "Safe" Level Of Radiation. "There is no safe dose of radiation" ~ Prof.

There Is No "Safe" Level Of Radiation

Edward P. Radford, Physician and Epidemiologist While a highly coordinated effort is underway by the nuclear industry, mainstream media, medical establishment and world governments to define, justify and reinforce a "safe level of radioactivity" pertaining to the air, the water, the food, and our bodies, the unspoken truth contained within the precautionary principle that there is no safe dose of radiation, nor a safe level of exposure to the 200+ radioisotopes released by the Fukushima reactor complex meltdown, is but an inaudible whisper in the cacophony of a world dominated by universal deception.

The question of exposure should not be "if" but "when," and "how" we deal with it once it happens.

West Coast USA Danger IF Japan Nuclear Reactor Meltdown - Modern Survival Blog ? surviving uncertain times

An alarming statement made by James Acton, a physicist who examined Japan’s Kashiwazaki nuclear plant after a 2007 earthquake, who told CNN that Japanese authorities are in race to cool down the Fukushima reactor. Following the fifth largest earthquake in recorded world history, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake, has resulted in the closure of all Japan’s nuclear power reactors, one of which, the Fukushima reactor, is overheating and in danger of a meltdown if coolant is not restored soon.

It’s like a pressure cooker… when you have something generating heat and you don’t cool it off or release the steam… They go on to say, “Up to 100 percent of the volatile radioactive Cesium-137 content of the pools could go up in flames and smoke, to blow downwind over large distances,” Update, Radiation Network in Real-Time.

Contamination of Food -Allowable limits

Randell Dr Alan Randell is Senior Officer (Food Standards), Food Quality and Standards Service, FAO, Rome.1 1 Most of the work reported in this paper comes from the reports of FAO invited experts in the fields of food control and radiological protection. Their names are listed in the FAO report of December 1986. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is responsible for advising its Member Governments on a wide range of topics affecting agriculture and food production, processing, storage and trade, including compliance with legislation that controls food quality and safety. Releases of radioactive materials into the environment can have a significant effect on trade in agricultural and food commodities.
