Fukushima radiation is affecting the health of the... - The Watchers. When the Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of South Carolina took the microphone at the Foreign Correspondence Club in Japan, the global impact of Fukushima radiation became much clearer.
Scientist Timothy A. Mousseau presented "Fukushima Catastrophe and its Effects on Wildlife," before a room of press and correspondents, reporting the real-life damage that Fukushima fallout is having on the planet's ecosystem. He gave dire news to Japan and compared the damage done by Fukushima to that of Chernobyl. Twenty-two minutes into the speech, Mousseau spoke on how the radiation is killing off birds. "These next figures are really, really important, and this really was the motivation for speaking today," he said. Scientist reveals albino birds, mutant firebugs, and deformed pine trees derived from Fukushima radiation He pointed to the consistency of bird die-offs through the years, increasing over time. Le blog de Fukushima. Daily News. Gastroenteritis of norovirus cases are 7 times more than last year in Ishikawa. Posted by Mochizuki on November 25th, 2012 · Comments Off In Ishikawa prefecture, gastroenteritis caused by norovirus and rotavirus started to spread earlier than usual year and are 7 times more than the same term of last year.
According to the prefectural government, the number of patients who have gastroenteritis from norovirus is 534 at 29 medical institutions from 11/5 to 11/11/2012, which is about 7.1 times much as the same term of last year. Usually it starts spreading from mid-November but this year it started to spread earlier than usual.

Fukushima fiasco: Tepco's risky removal of radioactive fuel could set off uncontrolled chain reaction; emergency delay invoked. (NaturalNews) The Tokyo Electric Power Co. announced it is delaying the relocation of fuel rods from its crippled plant reactors.
Work was originally scheduled to begin today due to the fact that fuel rods remain highly vulnerable in the damaged storage pools. Right now, Fukushima is just one earthquake or tidal wave away from structural collapse, causing a catastrophic release of radioactive fuel directly into the atmosphere. Moving the fuel rods a wildly risky proposition, as the fuel rods must be extricated from their operating matrix containing coolant water and control rods that "smother" runaway nuclear reactions.
Absent these safeguards, the removal and transport of fuel rods is inherently hazardous. Fukushima Fallout Damaged the Thyroids of California Babies. A new study of the effects of tiny quantities of radioactive fallout from Fukushima on the health of babies born in California shows a significant excess of hypothyroidism caused by the radioactive contamination travelling 5,000 miles across the Pacific.
The article will be published next week in the peer-reviewed journal Open Journal of Pediatrics. Congenital hypothyroidism is a rare but serious condition normally affecting about one child in 2,000, and one that demands clinical intervention – the growth of children suffering from the condition is affected if they are left untreated. All babies born in California are monitored at birth for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels in blood, since high levels indicate hypothyroidism. What Is The Actual Risk for Pacific Coast Residents from Fukushima Radiation?
Elephant In The Room: Fukushima. Fukushima Daiichi disaster is a topic that some have attempted to downplay, yet there is more to this topic than many unaware people are conscious of.
After the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant suffered critical failures on March 11th 2011, four of the plant’s six nuclear reactors were seriously damaged and the other two had barely functioning cooling processes. On September 19th 2013, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ordered Tokyo Electric Power Co. to dismantle all six reactors.
Fukushima Radiation Reaches Waters Off the Coast Of Canada, Expected To Reach... The levels of radioactive cesium isotopes are well below safe limits and researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will monitor the shores of Canada and the United States throughout 2014 as Fukushima fallout is expected to arrive in the coming months.
Ken Buesseler, senior scientist at WHOI, has been performing tests and collecting samples from 24 different costal locations and presented the research at the Ocean Sciences Meeting Monday. WHOI scientists detected cesium-134 and cesium-137, radioactive isotopes that have more neutrons, reports LiveScience, but the levels are below safe limits in drinking water. Radioactive isotopes leaked from Fukushima include cesium-134, cesium-137 and iodine-131. Fukushima: Radioactive Water Leaking Everywhere. Fukushima radiation dipersal area part 2.

Fukushima Radiation So High, Geiger Counter Can't Register It! {Video}
Japan suffered one of the biggest nuclear disasters just 5 months ago.
Now, instead of things getting better, they are getting worse, much worse. The Fukushima nuclear power plant, the epicenter of the earthquake-tsunami disaster, according to TEPCO, the company that owns the plant, now has radiation levels six times higher than the highest level they have ever record before. TEPCO reported that radiation levels are over 10,000 millisieverts per hour on the second floor of reactor one. The problem with that report is that Geiger counters can’t measure past 10,000 millisieverts per hour. So, how high is the radiation level on the second floor of reactor one? Before the disaster, the maximum amount of radiation a reactor employee was allowed to be exposed to was 100 millisieverts. With radiation levels over 10,ooo millisieverts it could possibly kill a man in a matter seconds, if directly exposed to the radiation. This could be why they recently updated their recovery plan. 関東各地の環境放射能水準の可視化:micro sievert. Mozilla Firefox.

Le gouvernement de Naoto Kan a envoyé des lettres de recommandation aux entreprises de télécommunication et aux webmasters, appelés à faire le nécessaire pour « purifier » l'information en provenance de Fukushima... Il voudrait se tirer une balle dans le pied qu’il ne s’y prendrait pas autrement. Déjà au plus bas dans les sondages et suspecté par une proportion importante de ses concitoyens de minimiser la gravité de la situation à et autour de la centrale nucléaire de Fukushima 1, le gouvernement japonais vient d’autoriser la censure sur la Toile des nouvelles embarrassantes en sa provenance… Incroyable mais vrai : les webmasters et autres entreprises de télécommunication (chaînes câblées, fournisseurs d’accès Internet etc.) ont désormais carte blanche pour nettoyer le Net de ces prétendues « impuretés ».
Voilà, ça se passe comme ça dans le monde merveilleux de Naoto Kan, dont les dernières déclarations optimistes sont de facto à relativiser. Ne pas contredire la version officielle. Map of how 25million tons of tsunami debris will hit California. By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 04:51 GMT, 14 February 2012 Remnants of Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami are headed for the California shoreline - 25million tons of it. The 9.0-magnitude earthquake that struck coastal towns near Sendai on March 11, 2011 triggered an avalanche of wreckage now drifting toward North America. The floating debris - which includes destroyed homes, wrecked fishing vessels, and even human remains - is shown in a computerized projection crafted by researchers at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, who say by 2014 the wreckage will stretch from Alaska to Mexico.
FUKUSHIMA INFORMATIONS. Les Veilleurs de Fukushima. More links... Nuclear News from Japan. /Earth polution. True facts about Ocean Radiation and the Fukushima Disaster. On March 11th, 2011 the Tōhoku earthquake and resulting tsunami wreaked havoc on Japan. It also resulted in the largest nuclear disaster since Chernobyl when the tsunami damaged the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Radioactive particles were released into the atmosphere and ocean, contaminating groundwater, soil and seawater which effectively closed local Japanese fisheries. Radiation team pinpoints need to extend Fukushima evacuation zone. “The Japanese authorities are fully aware (3) that high levels of radiation from the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant have spread far beyond the official evacuation zone to places like Iitate, yet are still not taking action to properly protect people or keep them informed them about the risks to their health”, said Greenpeace radiation safety expert Jan van de Putte.
“It is clearly not safe for people to remain in Iitate, especially children and pregnant women, when it could mean receiving the maximum allowed annual dose of radiation in only a few days. When further contamination from possible ingestion or inhalation of radioactive particles is factored in, the risks are even higher.” “The authorities must stop choosing politics over science and determine evacuation zones around the Fukushima nuclear plant that reflect the radiation levels being found in the environment.
