Fukushima - the continuing saga

[Kolaps]

Haha... How is it I don't have a Taiwanese flag then? I still have relatives in Taiwan and non of them support Japan. Like I said, you're just trying too hard. Give it some rest.

They must be refugees that came with KMT.

Small Taiwan is the biggest donator to Japan.

Are you saying, you're a Taiwan Native?

 

[Kolaps]

Are you saying, you're a Taiwan Native?

You mean native or aboriginal?

 

[rott]

You mean native or aboriginal?

Are you an idiot? Who do you think is the native of Taiwan?

This is what happens when you have nuclear reactors in a country surrounded by volcanoes and on the earthquake belt!

So, when is "America" sending its saving the earth from bad boys squad over? or is that only reserved for Muslim countries with oil?

 

[armchairPrivate]

The US in this case

American also did not bitch enough on this issue as they usually do

Like if it happened in some other country who is a non ally they would cry havoc

even today we see some documentary on Chernobyl

We have case studies on that incident for cancer research the people are treated as "subjects" but nothing much on Japan...I am not against Japan in fact I find the people very nice and polite... but seriously it just is a dangerous place to approve a nuclear reactor no matter what...It has tremors from volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunami or hurricanes and stuff like that

Thanks God! the cumulus is not going to CHina!

Fish with deadly levels of radioactive cesium have been caught just off the coast of Fukushima prefecture, as scientists continue to assess the damage caused to the marine food chain by the 2011 nuclear disaster.

One of the samples of the 37 black sea bream specimens caught some 37 kilometers south of the crippled power plant tested at 12,400 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium, making it 124 times deadlier than the threshold considered safe for human consumption, Japan's Fisheries Research Agency announced.

The samples were caught at the mouth of the Niidagawa river in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture, on November 17. Two other fish caught there also tested non-safe for human consumption, showing radiations levels of 426 and 197 becquerels per kilogram. The rest of the fish were reportedly within safety limits.

Black sea bream are currently restricted from being fished in Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures and sold for human consumption, as scientists from the Fisheries Research Agency say they plan to investigate the source of the contamination further.

After the Fukushima disaster, Japan lowered its threshold for cesium levels in food from 500 becquerels per kg to 100 becquerels per kilo, making the country’s regulations six times stricter than European Union standards. The record cesium reading was recorded last year when a fish caught near the plant carried 740,000 becquerels of cesium per kilogram.

Professor Chris Busby from the Scientific Secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk and a member of the UK Department of Health Committee Examining Radiation Risk for Internal Emitters (CERRIE), says that despite a high level of radiation in the marine food chain, Japan so far is the only one dealing with a direct threat.

“The concentrations of radionuclides, which are going to the Pacific or have been injected to the Pacific, by the time they get to the US, and to China and to South East Korea and so on will not be enormously high,” Busby told Voice of Russia.

Yet the scientist warned that nuclear contamination of Japan could result in 400-800 extra cancer cases in Japan in the next fifty years.

“We've already seen some effects in infant mortality and thyroid cancer in Japan,” Busby said. “So I think this is just going to get worse. I think we are going to see a major effect on the general health of the Japanese population in Northern Japan. There's going to be a decrease in the birth rate and an increase in the death rate.”

In the meantime, TEPCO, the operator of the Fukushima nuclear site, reported radiation levels 8 times government safety guidelines. TEPCO told press that the predominant reason behind the sharp increase in radiation at the plant was X-rays coming from storage tanks holding radioactive water that has been leaking from the Fukushima facility.

We want to share the loss of Japanese people from natural disaster of Tsunami ...
and acknowledge the difficult situation you have been suffering

Hope you could fix open issues and recover as soonest

Fukushima disaster is probably one of the worst cover ups of this day. Homeless people are being paid a pittance to clean up the mess while thousands of rods are in an unknown state of stability.
One slip up in the cleaning process and Bam! Meltdown.

I'm at the western coast of North America, and I've been avoiding Pacific seafood for a while now.

Now it is getting worse than Chernobyl, and this could be prevented, but these stupid Japs wanted to save few cheap reactors and let this disaster went out of control.

Now they are also affecting other people with their mess.

The bad thing is that the whole Pacific Ocean may be polluted.

Those Japanese sometimes don't think like the normal people.

They called Soviets the crazy commies, let those "crazy" commies behaved far more rational than those "democratic" Japanese.

When Chernobyl occurred, the Soviet Union risked hundreds of men to contain the disaster. You will not see that kind of resolve in Japan. The fact that only about 50 staff were left on site after the explosions started going off tells me of cowardice and incompetence of the management.
