One of the most dangerous radioactive elements being released at Fukushima is strontium. Strontium accumulates in the bones and in the teeth. It is also known to cause cancer in humans. It has been estimated that approximately 80% of the strontium that was released during the Chernobyl nuclear disaster entered the food cycle. Considering the vast amount of strontium that has been released at Fukushima, that is a very frightening statistic. ![[Image: food-fetus-radiation1.jpg]](http://optimalprediction.com/files/food-fetus-radiation1.jpg) http://optimalprediction.com/wp/adventures-with-radiation-in-food/ |

"We feel guilty about growing it and selling it? The Chosun Ilbo (English Edition) Rice Grown Near Fukushima Cleared for Sale.
Rice grown in some areas within a 30 km radius of the stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant will be cleared for sale this year, but concerns remain. Some samples have tested positive for radiation well above the permitted level. So far only test farming of rice in the region was allowed. Fukushima Prefecture said 44 out of 52 sacks of 30-kg rice harvested in Minamisoma, 20 to 30 km from the power plant, likely exceeded the permissible levels of radioactive materials when tested with a conveyer-belt detector. The prefecture carried out thorough test of the 44 sacks, and detected 120 becquerels of cesium per kilogram, way over the permissible level of 100 becquerels. ?It is possible to sell rice that does not exceed the level,? said a prefecture official. Fukushima Farmers Negotiate with Japanese Govt. Farmer from Sukagawa, 60 km west of Fukushima Daiichi. Do you understand the meaning of ?de? in the word decontamination? We are just tilling deeply and spreading the radiation thinly. We are not removing the contamination. No wonder that the radiation level has not gone down. We measured the radioactivity in the air. It has not gone down at all. We have not removed the contaminated soil. Of course not! The environment has not changed at all 2 years after the explosions. In Fukushima, all farm produce must be checked for the cesium level prior to shipping. The current government limit is 100 becquerels. The farmers know how many becquerels of cesium their produce contains. We can ship them if the reading is lower than 100. But I would not dare eat them myself. The consumers assume there is no radiation in the food they buy. We farmers know better. We feel guilty about growing it and selling it. We won?t eat it ourselves, but we sell it. |

Cancer Hits More Than 2500 Ground Zero Workers
IB TimesSean Martin - Some 2518 workers who took part in the 9/11 emergency and the gruelling challenge of cleaning up in its aftermath, have been diagnosed with cancer, according to NY Post. Dust cloud kicked up from Twin Towers was a mixture of toxic debris: pulverized concrete, jet fuel, plus tiny bits of glass, lead and asbestos, to name but a few ingredients. "I knew that day lot of us would get sick. "Post learned that of 37,000 police officers, sanitation workers and city employees who worked on Ground Zero and are registered on the World Trade Center Health Program at NY City's Mount Sinai Hospital, 1,655 have been diagnosed with cancer. When emergency medical technicians n firefighters are added, this figure jumps to 2,518, with the Fire dept New York recently saying that 863 of its members have been granted health treatment as a result of 9/11. The Post adds, this number is more than double 1,140 cancer cases that were reported last year. One retired captain of the FDNY recently received a $1.5m (£883,423, ?1.1m) pay-out from 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) for his battle with lung disease and pancreatic cancer, which was deemed inoperable. "I'm hoping they rush more cases like mine, where we're not expected to last long," he said. Successful VCF claimants receive 10% of their claims straight away, with the rest due in 2016. As of 30 June, only 115 workers have received compensation, barely 10% of the 1,145 claims listing cancer, with pay-outs totalling slightly over $50m. 9/11 tragedy claimed more than 2,700 lives in the first instance when two planes crashed into New York's World Trade Centers in 2001 in one of the worst terrorist attacks the world has ever seen. These figures illustrate that that toll is still growing almost 13 years after the first instance. Yahoo Singapore News |

Fukushima monkeys show possible ' effects of radiation'Monkeys near the stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant have lower blood cell counts than cousins living further away, possibly because of radiation exposure, a study said Thursday. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/health/fukushima-monkeys-show/1281238.html Study sought to examine the health effects of long-term radioactive exposure on wild Japanese macaques following the massive earthquake and nuclear meltdown at Fukushima in March 2011. Such data from non-human primates, our closest relatives, could contribute to knowledge about the health effects of radiation exposure on humans. |

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/fukushima-study-think-unthinkable-disasters-144101193.html Fukushima study: Think about unthinkable disasters Fukushima nuclear accident offers a key lesson to the nation' s nuclear industry: Focus more on the highly unlikely but worst case scenarios. That means thinking about earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, solar storms, multiple failures and situations that seem freakishly unusual, according to Thursday' s National Academy of Sciences report. Those kinds of things triggered the world' s three major nuclear accidents. " We need to do a soul searching when it comes to assumptions" of how to deal with worst case events. Engineers should " think about something that could happen once every, perhaps 1,000 years" but that' s not really part of their training or nature, he said. " You have to totally change, complacency and hubris is the worst enemy to nuclear safety," Meshkati said in an interview. The report said the 2011 Japanese accident, caused by an earthquake and tsunami, should not have been a surprise. Another Japanese nuclear power plant also hit by the tsunami was closer to the quake' s fault. Onagawa plant wasn' t damaged because quakes and flooding were considered when it was built. Onagawa had crucial backup electricity available for when the main power went down, as opposed to Fukushima which had emergency generators in a basement that flooded. Onagawa' s operators had " a different mindset" than the executives who ran Fukushima, Meshkati said. Other two nuclear accidents &mdash at Pennsylvania' s Three Mile Island and Ukraine' s Chernobyl&mdash were caused by multiple system failures. Another issue the report raised was about how far radiation may go in a worst case accident. |

Fukushima's Children are Dyingby Harvey Wasserman 15/ 06/ 14
More than 48% of some 375,000 young people?nearly 200,000 kids?tested by the Fukushima Medical University near the smoldering reactors now suffer from pre-cancerous thyroid abnormalities, primarily nodules and cysts. Some 39 mths after the multiple explosions at Fukushima, thyroid cancer rates among nearby children have skyrocketed to more than forty times (40x) normal. The rate is accelerating. More than 120 childhood cancers have been indicated where just three would be expected, says Joseph Mangano, executive director of the Radiation and Public Health Project. The nuclear industry and its apologists continue to deny this public health tragedy. Some have actually asserted that ?not one person? has been affected by Fukushima?s massive radiation releases, which for some isotopes exceed Hiroshima by a factor of nearly 30. But the deadly epidemic at Fukushima is consistent with impacts suffered among children near the 1979 accident at Three Mile Island and the 1986 explosion at Chernobyl, as well as findings at other commercial reactors. The likelihood that atomic power could cause such epidemics has been confirmed by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, which says that ?an increase in the risk of childhood thyroid cancer? would accompany a reactor disaster. In evaluating the prospects of new reactor construction in Canada, the Commission says the rate ?would rise by 0.3% at a distance of 12 kilometers? from the accident. But that assumes the distribution of protective potassium iodide pills and a successful emergency evacuation, neither of which happened at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl or Fukushima. The numbers have been analyzed by Mangano. He has studied the impacts of reactor-created radiation on human health since the 1980s, beginning his work with the legendary radiologist Dr. Ernest Sternglass and statistician Jay Gould.Speaking on the Green Power & Wellness Show, Mangano also confirms that the general health among downwind human populations improves when atomic reactors are shut down, and goes into decline when they open or re-open. Nearby children are not the only casualties at Fukushima. Plant operator Masao Yoshida has died at age 58 of esophogeal cancer. Masao heroically refused to abandon Fukushima at the worst of the crisis, probably saving millions of lives. Workers at the site who are employed by independent contractors?many dominated by organized crime?are often not being monitored for radiation exposure at all. Public anger is rising over government plans to force families?many with small children?back into the heavily contaminated region around the plant. Following its 1979 accident, Three Mile Island?s owners denied the reactor had melted. But a robotic camera later confirmed otherwise. The state of Pennsylvania mysteriously killed its tumor registry, then said there was ?no evidence? that anyone had been killed.But a wide range of independent studies confirm heightened infant death rates and excessive cancers among the general population. Excessive death, mutation and disease rates among local animals were confirmed by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and local journalists.In the 1980s federal Judge Sylvia Rambo blocked a class action suit by some 2,400 central Pennsylvania downwinders, claiming not enough radiation had escaped to harm anyone. But after 35 years, no one knows how much radiation escaped or where it went. Three Mile Island?s owners have quietly paid millions to downwind victims in exchange for gag orders. At Chernobyl, a compendium of more than 5,000 studies has yielded an estimated death toll of more than 1,000,000 people. The radiation effects on youngsters in downwind Belarus and Ukraine have been horrific. According to Mangano, some 80% of the ?Children of Chernobyl? born downwind since the accident have been harmed by a wide range of impacts ranging from birth defects and thyroid cancer to long-term heart, respiratory and mental illnesses. The findings mean that just one in five young downwinders can be termed healthy.

New unit. Meteorological service of Singapore is to study threats like volcanic ash, radioactive fallout. Besides haze n even particles from outer space.
The Hazard Risk n Impact Assessment Unit was setup last year partly to better understand emerging hazards that, though relatively rare, could affect Singapore like solar Sun flares have been known to eject clouds of particles travelling at high speed that bombard our earth within day or two that disrupt satellites n power grids, radio waves n commercial planes communication. A threat which we deem not as important. A good example is radioactive fallout from unclear accidents, from unclear plants. M'SIA, Indonesia n Vietnam have show interest in unclear energy, including unclear waste that is always easily dump into sea n caused all kind of cancer n DNA changes inside our body. |

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) ? Residents of the city of Adak on Alaska's Aleutian Islands evacuated the town site and gathered on a nearby hill Monday after a magnitude-8.0 earthquake prompted a tsunami warning for part of the island chain."We're seeing water leave our bay, so we do have everybody up on the Bering Hill area, where our primary evacuation center is at," City Mgr Laytona, about 200 miles west, a tsunami wave of about 7 inches was reported at Amchitka Island, said a spokesman for the Alaska Dept of Homeland Security and Emergency mgt.There were no immediate reports of damage, as authorities with the state emergency system began notifying the coastal communities affected by the tsunami warning or the tsunami advisory that was issued for coastlines further from the earthquake's epicenter.Natasha Ruppert, a seismologist with the Alaska Earthquake Center, said.
The earthquake was widely felt in Adak, one of the largest cities in the affected area about 1,300 miles southwest of Anchorage. Shaking could also be felt in Shemya and other villages along the sparsely populated Aleutian Islands. Shemya Island is where U.S. military operates Eareckson Air Stn, which serves as an early warning radar installation. The earthquake recorded at 12:53 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time was initially reported with a magnitude of 7.1, but that was upgraded to 8.0, Ruppert said. Quake was centered about 13 miles southeast of Little Sitkin Island or 25 miles north Amchitka Island. Amchitka is where US tested nuclear weapons underground in the 60s and 70s, tests included one of the US largest nuclear explosions ever. The shallower the quake, the more likely it will be felt, quake was followed 18 minutes later by a magnitude-6.0 aftershock, and at least three more aftershocks followed with magnitudes ranging from 4.8 to 5.9. National Tsunami Warning Ctr in Palmer, Alaska, issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas from Nikolski, population 18, and Attu, which is near the tip of the Aleutians. Residents were being warned to move to higher ground. A tsunami advisory was also issued for coastal areas between Nikolski and Unimak Pass, which is further east, includes Unalaska, a city of about 4,000 people. An advisory means strong currents or dangerous waves are expected, but widespread inundation isn't likely. |

Fukushima Plant: Fish Detected 124 Times Highly Radioactive, Cancer More Prevalent in Japan in Next 50 Years? By Esther Tanquintic-Misa | Jan13, 2014 3:15 PM Fish caught in waters near the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant have been detected 124 times highly radioactive than the accepted limit, a report by the Asahi Shimbun said. The Fisheries Research Agency, a Japanese govt-affiliated research institute, revealed over the weekend that a fish called black sea bream caught at the mouth of Niidagawa river in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture contained 12,400 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium. It was way 124 times over the safety standards for foodstuffs. The fish was caught Nov 17 at 37 kilometres south of the power plant. Close to 40 pieces of black sea bream were caught at that time. This particular type of fish is no longer sold at fish markets in the radiation affected region. Two other fishes contained radiation levels, 426 becquerels per kilogram and 197 becquerels per kilogram. Authorities from the Fisheries Research Agency said it will undertake further studies to establish when exactly were the fishes got stained by the high levels of radioactive cesium. Read: Japan to Perform Controlled Nuclear Meltdown, Wants to Study Causes n Prevention Techniques Professor Chris Busby, Scientific Secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk and a member of the UK Department of Health Committee Examining Radiation Risk for Internal Emitters (CERRIE), told the Voice of Russia that while contaminated water goes back and forth into the Pacific Ocean, most of the risk as far as fish dependency is concerned remains confined to Japan."The concentrations of radionuclides, which are going to the Pacific or have been injected to the Pacific, by the time they get to the US, and to China and to South East Korea and so on will not be enormously high. I'm not saying that it is great, I mean there will be some risk to these people, and particularly the risk is from ingestion of radionuclide particles and not so much from the dilute stuff, the stuff that is in solution. The main risk will be to the people of Japan, and it'll be people who live along the coastline of Eastern Japan who will be greatly at risk," he said. Mr Busby said mortality statistics will greatly change in Northern Japan, noting there might arise 400-800 extra cancers in Japan in the next 50-years. Read: US Officials Disprove Claims on Fukushima Radiation on California beaches "We've already seen some effects in infant mortality and thyroid cancer in Japan. So I think this is just going to get worse. I think we are going to see a major effect on the general health of the Japanese population in Northern Japan. There's going to be a decrease in the birth rate and an increase in the death rate," he said |

First, a rat gnawed through exposed wiring, setting off a scramble to end yet another blackout of vital cooling systems at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Then, hastily built pits for a flood of contaminated water sprang leaks themselves. Now, a new rush of radioactive water has breached a barrier built to stop it, allowing heavily contaminated water to spill daily into the Pacific. It turns out that radioactive water has been spilling into the sea almost since the initial disaster, at a rate of 75,000 gallons, or 300 tons, a day. So now Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO, which owns the plant, has a plan to build an underground wall of frozen earth to stop the radioactive water leakage. NPR explains:
