14,000 U.S. Deaths Tied to Fukushima Reactor Disaster Fallout

'An estimated 14,000 excess deaths in the United States are linked to the radioactive fallout from the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear reactors in Japan, according to a major new article in the December 2011 edition of the International Journal of Health Services. This is the first peer-reviewed study published in a medical journal documenting the health hazards of Fukushima.'

Dead Men Walking – Update on Fukushima

 



'As I sit here thinking about Fukushima, I wonder what the people who
caused this calamity to escalate into what, in essence, could very well
be the final end game, are thinking. It seems clear that there is no
running, and no hiding. Only a delay in the inevitability of an end to
life as we know it. The bottom line is, we will have to live with the
repercussions of this disaster… forever. We, and our progeny are quite
literally, dead men walking.'

Gundersen Discusses the Situation at the flooded Ft. Calhoun and Cooper Nuclear Power Plants.

Gundersen Discusses the Situation at the flooded Ft. Calhoun and Cooper Nuclear Power Plants. from Fairewinds Associates on Vimeo.
Gundersen says "sandbags and nuclear power shouldn't be put in the same sentence, but it is a lot better than Fukushima." Gundersen explains that Ft. Calhoun was already shut down and has much less decay heat. He stresses that the auxiliary building and containment building are not his major concern. A small building, the intake structure, which contains the emergency service water pumps is needed for cooling the nuclear fuel and should be protected.

Another Nuclear Plant, Cooper (about 90 miles south of Ft. Calhoun), is still running and poses a bigger threat because of it's decay heat. Gundersen believes that both Nuclear Plants will "ride out" this problem, as long as an upstream dam does not break. It an upstream dam were to break, he says, "All bets are off".

Protect the Children, What Are You Waiting For?

by Dr. Mark Sircus


'Should the public discover the true health costs of nuclear pollution, a cry would rise from all parts of the world and people would refuse to cooperate passively with their own death.'

--Dr. Rosalie Bertell 

'Plutonium has been detected in soil at a stricken nuclear plant in Japan and highly contaminated water has leaked from a reactor building. Plutonium has been found in soil at various points within Japan’s stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex. This is the most deadly material known to man. 

Low levels of radioactive iodine believed to be from Japan’s disaster-stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant have been detected in the atmosphere in South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida, officials said on Monday the 28th March. And traces of radioactivity from damaged nuclear power facilities in Japan have been detected in rainwater in the northeast United States.'

Millions in U.S. Drink Dirty Water, Records Show

by Charles Duhigg

New York Times

'More than 20 percent of the nation’s water treatment systems have violated key provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act over the last five years, according to a New York Times analysis of federal data.

'That law requires communities to deliver safe tap water to local residents. But since 2004, the water provided to more than 49 million people has contained illegal concentrations of chemicals like arsenic or radioactive substances like uranium, as well as dangerous bacteria often found in sewage.'
