What you're doing is exremely important! A couple of things. First, you
lived through the disaster & we do want to know, but may be people don't
know what/how to ask. Why don't you tell us what YOU consider to be
important, explain the JP culture and way of thinking. THank you. Second,
my Inspector has been on backorder for months, they just told me that it's
gonna be another 4-6 weeks b/c Japan keeps getting all their counters.
Really? Have you seen Inspector geiger counters sold in Japan?ThY
Uranium Alpha 238 is a radioactive element with a half-life of 4.5 billion
years. Uranium Alpha 234 is a radioactive element with a half-life of
245,000 years. Plutonium-244 has a half-life of 80 million years. Depleted
uranium and plutonium were found at the Fukushima nuclear plant. See the
Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility for more information. ccnr

Japan because of radiation contamination.
It doesn't matter where you live. The northern hemisphere has been
contaminated by radiation in the atmosphere that has been carried by the
jet stream. The radiation will also spread to the southern hemisphere. Air,
water, food and land has been contaminated throughout the northern
hemisphere. I have been to Japan three times and regret that I can never
return to Japan. I fear for my Japanese friends. The Japanese government
admitted it considered evacuating Tokyo.
Naysayers need to google Chernobyl babies to see photos of severe birth
defects. The sarcophagus surrounding Chernobyl is in danger of collapse and
continues to emit radiation. All of Europe will be severely contaminated
when it does. 40% of Europe has already been permanently contaminated with
radiation because of Chernobyl. Fukushima is the worst nuclear accident in
the history of the planet.
Dr Helen Caldicott, Conference on The Nuclear Danger: Nuclear War and
Nuclear Power, Montreal. March 18, 2011 Part 1: "Plutonium has a half life
of 24,400 years so it lasts about a half a million years. … Plutonium, you
only need 5 kilos to make a bomb and each reactor makes 500, no, 250 KG a
year. It's so toxic that a microgram is carcinogenic, that's a millionth of
a gram.
600,000+ spent fuel rods were stored at Fukushima, most of those were
destroyed during the initial explosions. The radiation went straight into
the atmosphere and has been raining down on us all since March 11, 2011.
The Japanese government has been burning tsunami debris in southern Japan,
releasing more radiation into the atmosphere. Large sections of the ocean
are dead.
Part 2: Hypothetically, if you could take a pound of plutonium and
distribute that in every person's lung on earth, that's enough to kill
every person on earth. Each of those six reactors (Fukushima, Japan)
contain more than 250 KG of plutonium." -Dr Helen Caldicott, Conference on
The Nuclear Danger: Nuclear War and Nuclear Power, Montreal. March 18, 2011
I am very sorry for the people of Japan and the world. We all are
contaminated because of Fukushima. Fukushima has been in full meltdown
since March 11, 2011. All of Japan has been contaminated forever. All of
the North Hemisphere has been soaked in radiation since March 2011.
Fukushima is far worse than Chernobyl.
