28 Signs That The West Coast of the US Is Being Absolutely Fried With Nuclear Radiation From Fukushima
The map below comes from the Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center. It shows that radiation levels at radiation monitoring stations all over the country are elevated. As you will notice, this is particularly true along the west coast of the United States. Every single day, 300 tons of radioactive water from Fukushima enters the Pacific Ocean.… Continue reading

Video: Nuclear Danger: World Action Now on Fukushima By grtv
Journalist, author, activist and historian Harvey Wasserman has been reporting on, and participating in, the nuclear free movement for decades. In that time, by his judgment, only one other event matches the danger to the world posed by the Cuban Missile Crisis. That event is the ongoing nuclear disaster at Fukushima. Continue reading

Pump and pray: Tepco might have to pour water on Fukushima wreckage forever By Professor Christopher Busby
Huge amounts of radioactivity have flowed from the wrecked reactors directly into the Pacific Ocean. Attempts to stop the flow of contaminated water from Fukushima into the sea were always unlikely to succeed. It is like trying to push water uphill. Now they all seem to have woken up to the issue and have begun… Continue reading

Fukushima: Worse than You Know
You’ve heard bad news about Fukushima recently. But it’s worse than you know. The Wall Street Journal notes that radiation levels outside the plant are likely higher than inside the reactor Continue reading

Video: More Lessons From the Fukushima Daiichi Accident by grtv
In this Monday’s video, Fairewinds investigates a recently released report from Tokyo Electric. Arnie Gundersen discusses TEPCO’s latest analysis that, almost two years after the accident, fully substantiates Fairewinds long held position that the explosion at Fukushima Daiichi Unit 3 was the result of a detonation shock wave.

The Fuel Pools of Fukushima: THE GREATEST SHORT-TERM THREAT TO HUMANITY By Washington’s Blog
The World is at a critical crossroads. The Fukushima disaster in Japan has brought to the forefront the dangers of Worldwide nuclear radiation. The crisis in Japan has been described as “a nuclear war without a war”. Continue reading

Fukushima, the Criminal Complicity of Governments & What May Be in Store for US Reactors
Video: Fukushima gave the world a crash course in cascading nuclear failure. What many do not know is that the damaged reactors were designed by General Electric, rely on 40-year-old containment technology, and are substantially similar to 32 reactors currently operating around the world, including 23 in the United States. Continue reading

Ultra-high radiation levels reported at Japan’s Fukushima plant
The radiation levels — 10,000 millisieverts per hour — are high enough that a single 60-minute dose would be fatal to humans within weeks, MSNBC reported. Tepco said Tuesday it found another spot on the ventilation stack itself where radiation exceeded 10 sieverts per hour, a level that could lead to death after just several… Continue reading

Fukushima: Growing resistance challenges pro-nuclear policies By Pierre Rousset
Every day brings new revelations on the gravity of the nuclear accident at Fukushima Daichi and on the mendacious policies which covered the activity of the nucleocrat lobby, on the breadth of the risks imposed on the population by the choice of the atom, on the denial of democracy.

Fukushima city: officially safe thanks to new ‘creative’ safety standards — RT
‘What the government did was change the radioactivity control level, the standard levels from 1 millisieverts per year to 20 millisieverts per year. That is, 20 times looser [than] the standards before the accident and now they raised the standards so they can say it was as safe as before, but actually the standards have… Continue reading

Video: As Japan Nuclear Crisis Worsens, Citizen-Led Radiation Monitors Pressure Govt to Increase Evacuations
Almost three months after the earthquake and tsunami that triggered a nuclear disaster in Japan, new radiation “hot spots” may require the evacuation of more areas further from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility. Continue reading

Fukushima Predicted: Regulatory Commission was Warned for Years By Arnie Gunderson
For more than six years, in testimony and in correspondence with the NRC, Mr. Gundersen has disputed the NRC’s stand that containment systems simply do not and cannot leak. The events at Fukushima have proven that Gundersen was correct. Continue reading

Are Nuclear Reactions Still Occurring at Fukushima? By Washington’s Blog
You also know that at least some of the subsequent explosions could have been caused by small-scale nuclear reactions called “prompt moderated criticalities”. But you might not know that nuclear reactions may still be ongoing. Continue reading

Fukushima. The Risk for Workers: “Levels of Radiation Could Increase Exponentially” By Lucas Whitefield Hixson
The situation inside of Reactor 2 is much like that on the roof of Chernobyl. The heat, humidity, and radiation make a workers stay time a matter of minutes once inside of the reactor, even with full protective gear on. There is much work that needs to be accomplished inside of the reactor, but radiation… Continue reading

The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster in Perspective By Dr. Helen Caldicott
Japan is by orders of magnitude many times worse than Chernobyl. Never in my life did I think that six nuclear reactors would be at risk. I knew that three GE engineers who helped design these Mark I GE reactors, resigned because they knew they were dangerous. Continue reading
