Fukushima's melted cores have moved into the earth


The Fukushima Fish Story
When the available information is either withheld or hard to understand, it’s little wonder there’s almost no public trust in the people in charge. When unofficial information is also unreliable, it gets harder and harder to get a handle on what’s real, other than the fact it’s not good.

Nuclear Japan. Tokyo’s Response to Fukushima: Boost the Nuclear Energy Industry, Restart Old ReactorsOfficial Japanese policy on nuclear power has swung full circle since the Fukushima disaster of 2011 – from avidly pro-nuclear power then, to rejecting nuclear power as too dangerous, and now back to avidly pushing on to re-start old reactors and build new ones.

I really liked this article especially for beng so current and straight about the impact of these radiaton levels.

Here's an older one from David Suzuki, Canada's leading environmentalist. It's a fair look at how we should be thinking about it and it does boil down to the accurate release of information about the quality of our food. His precautionary advice - eat local fish.

Calm down, people. This is all alarmist horseshit. The earth will be fine. Fukushima will be only a relatively local event -- ever.

"Those assertions are false and the concerns largely unfounded, scientists and government officials said last week, because Fukushima radionuclides in ocean water and marine life are at trace levels and declining — so low that they are trivial compared with what already exists in nature."

That said, here is an article talking about the signature of the radiation at Half Moon Bay as not belonging to Fukushima.

Is Fukushima the end of the world? No. Will the ongoing disaster in Fukushima have an effect on the world economy and cancer rates? Undoubtedly. Does the disaster in Fukushima signal a similar disaster elsewhere in the future? Yes. How many such accidents can the biosphere tolerate?
 
While there is certainly an alarmist trend to proclaim the end of the world every other year, it's important for events like Fukushima to help that "end times" industry along with a good bit of fear mongering regarding nuclear fallout. However, equally misleading is this whole discussion about natural occurring radiation levels, say in in bananas vs. what is unique about what happens when a nuclear reactor spreads its waste across a large section of the planet along with its concentrated doses in the area it went boom in. The core is now happily mingling with the water table, spreading disease where it will in Japan. The long term effects will be substantial, as cancer rates rise everywhere that Fukushima touches with the wind. I don't think that's alarmist at all, and it should be mandatory discussion instead of all the corporate airtime that is given to the banana comparison - enough with that already; it's way too simplistic and banal a response to this situation that is a global crisis after all. I prefer my doses of reality free from the propagandist's voice that says, "don't worry, everything will be ok, buy more crap."
 
Let's revisit this in three years and you will see all of the hype is bullshit (just like the BP Gulf oil spill). We shall see...
