Large Amounts of Radioactive water leaks from Fukushima plant into the Pacific. Earlier this week we posted an update to the situation in Japan.
In the update we pointed out how massive amounts of radioactive materials were still making their way into the environment. Well, things seem to just keep getting worse for Japan’s troubled Fukushima nuclear plant. Earlier this week, Plant operator TEPCO admitted that almost 12 tons of radioactive water and contaminated material just leaked from a treatment pipe into the pacific ocean. Similar leaks have occurred several times since the initial damage but this is the second major leak in the last two weeks. Is Nuclear Fallout from Japan still Bombarding America? While the mainstream media long ago moved on from covering the nuclear disaster in Japan, a number of independent journalists and scientists have been warning that the disaster is far from over.
In fact, many experts are suggesting that dangerously high levels of nuclear fallout and radiation are still blanketing the western coast of the United States. One year later and the problems just keep getting worse… An independent reporter, EnviroReproter out of Los Angeles CA., has conducted over 1,500 tests in the Los Angeles area since the disaster occurred. San Francisco Bay Area milk sample has highest amount of Cesium-137 since last June — Almost double EPA’s maximum contaminant level. Title: UCB Milk Sampling Results Source: UCBDepartment of Nuclear Engineering Date: April 9, 2012 4/9/2012 (5:45pm): Three recent milk test results have been posted on the milk sample page with “best by” dates of 3/12, 4/9, and 4/16.
Very low levels of Cs-134 and Cs-137 were detected in the samples — the amounts are so small that it would require drinking over tens of thousands of liters of milk to receive the small dose that one receives from a cross-country airplane flight. These isotopes can still be detected in milk because they have long half-lives (2 years and 30 years, respectively) and therefore trace amounts will remain in the grass and hay that the cows feed on. Best Buy Date of 04/09/2012: Cs-134 @ 0.068 Bq/LCs-137 @ 0.141 Bq/LTotal Cs = 0.209 Bq/L or 5.67 pCi/L (27.1 picocuries = 1 becquerel) Fukushima: Hanging by a Thread.
Blog.imva.info After writing my essay “Radioactive Hell on Earth”—actually I wanted to change that title to “Fukushima on Steroids”—I see Christina Consolo’s essay “Fukushima is Falling Apart”: Are you ready—it is becoming clear that we, our children and our entire civilization is hanging by a thread.
It is a very sorry thing to report that we have literally shot ourselves in the foot with a big nuclear shotgun full of radioactive particles of the worst conceivable kind. It has taken a year but finally “a U.S. Senator finally got off his ass and went to Japan to see what is going on over there. What he saw was horrific.

Three BIG things you’re not hearing about on any EVIL CORPORATE OWNED SLAVESPEAK USING PROPAGANDA SPEWING main stream media news: Fukushima to Burn Highly-Radioactive Debris Fukushima will start burning radioactive debris containing up to 100,000 becquerels of radioactive cesium per kilogram.
As Mainchi notes: The state will start building storage facilities for debris generated by the March 2011 tsunami as early as May at two locations in a coastal area of Naraha town, Fukushima Prefecture, Environment Ministry and town officials said Saturday. You wouldn’t know it from the news, but there’s a major fossil-fuel spill ongoing in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland.
A leak from a gas platform operated by the French energy company Total SA was first detected on March 25 and has been spilling around 7 million cu. ft. (200,000 cu m) of natural gas every day since. Fukushima Could Still Armageddon The World. April 16, 2012, by Ken Jorgustin The world has become largely desensitized to what has happened and what is still happening in the wake of the nuclear disaster at the Daiichi nuclear plant in Fukushima Japan more than a year ago.
Arnie Gunderson of Fairewinds Associates, with more than 40 years experience in the nuclear industry explains that the three reactors continue to melt down.

The Kuril Islands are located in Russia’s Sakhalin Oblast region and stretch approximately 1,300 km (810 miles) northeast from Hokkaido-, Japan, to Kamchatka, Russia, separating the Sea of Okhotsk from the North Pacific Ocean. There are 56 islands and many more minor rocks.

The Radiation Database User Guide - Worldwide HAARP, VLF, Radar, & Nuclear DB. Fukushima still spewing massive radiation plumes; America in 'huge trouble,' says nuclear expert. (NaturalNews) During a recent Congressional delegation trip to Japan, Oregon Senator Ron Wyden witnessed with his own eyes the horrific aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, which we have heard very little about from the media in recent months.
The damage situation was apparently so severe, according to his account, that he has now written a letter to Ichiro Fujisaki, Ambassador of Japan, petitioning for more to be done, and offering any additional support and assistance that might help contain and resolve the situation as quickly as possible. The letter, which many experts see as the ominous writing on the wall for the grave severity of the circumstances, offers a disturbing glimpse into what is really going on across the Pacific Ocean that the mainstream media is apparently ignoring.
While referencing the fact that all four of the affected reactors are still "badly damaged," Sen. Sen. Wyden is also asking U.S. Smart Radiation Detector by tangible_design » Updates. RadChick Radiation Research & Mitigation.
