FUKUSHIMA REDUX?

SPECIAL POST

Back in March of 2011, there was an enormous earthquake off the coast of Japan that rattled the nuclear plants at Fukushima, causing a meltdown in two reactors and releasing radioactive particles into both water and air.  Since then, mutated life forms have been found in the forests and there have been human babies born in Japan with extra arms and legs; marine life off the coast has been dying off.  

The virtual news blackout regarding Fukushima may be leading the public to assume that the problem is now under control, but the truth is that nothing has yet been done to address the main issue... there are still piles of highly radioactive molten fuel rods burning uncontrollably beneath the three damaged buildings that housed the reactors.

They are still wrestling with the problem of containment of millions of gallons of highly radioactive water under the site; they've tried everything from installing concrete barriers to freezing the water.  What compounded the problems is that the Japanese government firmly refused to allow technical help from the United States.  

 

Naturalnews.com is reporting official data released at the National Conference on Radiation Control shows the U.S. has been experiencing a huge spike in radiation from Fukushima. Levels are considered to be far exceeding the federal regulatory limit, with nearly 1,000 times the normal amount of alpha particles recorded, including plutonium.  Alpha radiation is thought to be the least dangerous form of radiation when compared with beta and gamma rays – with even simple clothing stopping the alpha particles from reaching the body. However, alpha particles become extremely dangerous when ingested or inhaled. If you're fortunate and only consume small doses, you may not show any symptoms. However, many people who are exposed suffer radiation sickness including nausea, vomiting, headaches and fatigue.

And now comes another major earthquake just off the coast of Fukushima.  They are saying the existing operating nuclear plants have not been damaged, but what about all of that pent up radiation at the Fukushima site?  

This issue is very scary and bears our ongoing monitoring.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
