Fukushima Reactor No. 2 Leaking and Threatening to Over-Heat

The Japanese government has been working hard to cover up the severity of the Fukushima disaster which government agencies have hidden important data in a direct intentional effort to misrepresent the effects of the crisis to the public.

Suppression of documents that reveal the fall out forecasts from Fukushima was deliberately underestimated in public. The System for Prediction of Environmental Emergency Dose Information (SPEEDI) system was compromised to keep the public from panicking . The censoring’s purpose was to avoid public outcry because radiation levels were much more dangerous than officials let on. Essentially, they were endangering the Japanese citizens to avoid dealing with their fear.

Purveying the propaganda is the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that supposed in a study that because Japanese radiation levels were negligible, their foods, such as milk and vegetables, are safe for consumption. The World Health Organization (WHO) jumped on the bandwagon to also proclaim that due to their research and the Linear No-Threshold Dose hypothesis (LNT), the radiation exerted from the Fukushima disaster worldwide was not a danger to the general population.

However their lies have been exposed in independent study. In May 2011, the Norsk Institute’s online site, which was monitoring worldwide radioactive contamination across the globe. They compiled a list of toxins that were introduced by the Fukushima plume.

Here is a short list of the half-life of five of the radioactive isotopes in the air, food and water that are poisoning us and children:

• Cesium 137: 30 years
• Plutonium 239: 24,000 years
• Strontium 90: 29 years [mimics calcium in the body]
• Uranium 235: 700-million years
• Iodine 131: 8 days [absorbed into the thyroid and gives heavy radiation dose

Over the past weekend, at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, reactor No. 4 was automatically suspended because the cooling system for the spent fuel pool begun to malfunction.

Tokyo Electric Power Corporation (TEPCO) was unable to activate the cooling system. Plant officials are “looking into the situation” assuming that an expedited rise in temperature is unlikely.

However if this temperature continues to rise , TEPCO will not be able to control it and the temperature could exceed 65 Celsius, which is passed regulatory limits.

Just days before this development, TEPCO admitted that record numbers of radiation was detected leaking from the Fukushima plant. TEPCO said: “Workers cannot enter the site and we must use robots for the demolition.”

Workers for TEPCO were unable to locate where the radioactive leaks were originating, despite using infrared cameras to search the suppression chamber in reactor No. 2.

While shareholders for TEPCO voted to restart certain nuclear reactors, after an endorsement from Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, over 200,000 protesters took to the streets to let the powers that be know their disapproval.

Noda gave his blessing for two reactors at the Kansai Electric’s Oi nuclear plant in Fukui Prefecture to be restarted.
