Five months ago today, the nuclear crisis began in Fukushima, and the government began lying about the threat and the dangers to its people. Now they are beginning to build a gigantic tent over reactor number one. We do not have any information from Japan about people dying but in fact they are also dying in city of Tokyo due to polluted air due to radiations.
The crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant might have suffered a second nuclear meltdown, Kyodo news agency reported. According to the study, which was conducted nuclear Safety expert Fumiya Tanabe, fuel inside one of the plant’s nuclear reactors might have breached the bottom of a pressure vessel after melting again.
Private testing finds high concentration of Plutonium in soil over 30 miles from Fukushima — “Very high radiation that is very different to what the government released”. According to Tokyo U nuke experts.
Top scientists in the field of Marine Chemistry, have done the testing and research and the result is not good. Fukushima’s poison radiated water spew into the pacific ocean will cause malformations in ocean life as well as the resulting food chain [ that's us], from platunium, I131 and ZM133 in the ocean. Its further cause drastic changes in ecosystem as it is doing. Many plants here turns into brown especially Ginko and azaleas. Almost 30% azaleas are dead,
“Horrifying” that Fukushima meltdown equivalent to almost 30 times the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in WWII.” nuclear experts.
166,000,000 Bq/m² of radioactive iodine, caesium at 21,200,000 Bq/m² was detected by researchers 4 km from Fukushima plant. Krypton-85 and xenon-131m detected in samples from Reactor No. 2 — Xenon-131m has half life of only 12 days. Data provided by private research lab, Tokyo U nuke.
If situations are true then we might be going to facing results like Chernobyl accident in Ukraine in1986. The accident destroyed the Chernobyl reactor, killing 30 operators and firemen within three months and several further deaths later. One person was killed immediately and a second died in hospital soon after as a result of injuries received. Another person is reported to have died at the time from a coronary thrombosis. Acute radiation syndrome (ARS) was diagnosed in people on-site and involved with the clean-up and it was later confirmed in 134 cases.
For three nights, while hydrogen explosions at four of the reactors spewed radiation into the air many Japanese stayed in Tsushima district where the children played outside and some parents used water from a mountain stream to prepare rice. The radioactive “winds, in fact, had been blowing directly toward Tsushima but this vital information was left unpublicized by bureaucrats in Tokyo, operating in a culture that sought to avoid responsibility and, above all, criticism,” published The New York Times.
Food is also affected by radiations but for their survival people have to eat that among other food items rice are easily available to them. Mainly children are badly affecting by theses polluted air their thyroid gland are severely affected due to which iodine level seems double in them . A group of researchers led by Hiroshima University professor Satoshi Tashiro tested 1,149 children in the prefecture for radiation in their thyroid glands in March following the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
Radioactive iodine was detected in about half of the children. Tashiro says radiation in thyroid glands exceeding 100 millisieverts poses a threat to humans, but that the highest level in the survey was 35 millisieverts.
Here is the brief summary of negative impact causes by radioactive radiations on humans.
Short-term impacts due to the high nuclear radiation around nuclear reactors, such us:
Diarrheal
Nausea and vomiting
Fever
Headache
Chronic impacts or long-term impacts of nuclear radiation is usually triggered by a low-level radiation that people are unaware and not anticipate it for years. Some bad and harmful effects of long-term nuclear radiation:
Premature aging
Cancer
Genetic Mutation
Nervous system and reproductive disorders.
Meanwhile, impacts that arise after exposed to nuclear radiation during several days, such as:
Disorientation or confused to determine direction
Dizzy, dizzy eye
Weak, tired and looked listless
Low blood pressure
Vomiting blood or dysentery
Hair loss and baldness
Wounds are hard to heal.

I was wondering why the media no longer tells us how things are going in Japan. . .In many ways, what has happened to our friends in Japan has happened to each and every one of us.
There are at least 5 isotopes of iodine with any semblance of stability. Iodine-131 is generally the isotope of most concern to health because its half life is 8 days – short enough to be highly radioactive, but long enough to find a human being and infiltrate it.
Iodine-134 only has a half-life of 53 minutes, and it is not a decay daughter of any long-life fission product. Therefore the presence of iodine-134, if it had been real, would have indicated that the reactor resumed criticality in the last few days, and/or that some new physics was taking place. Very unexpected and very bad. But it was just a lab error.
Excessive radiation levels have also been found in beef, vegetables, milk, seafood and water and, in hot spots more than 100 km from the plant,
Flower planting is really helping ,leave it weither what is true or false, fake or real…..its time for help.
We plant sunflowers, field mustard, amaranthus and cockscomb, which are all believed to absorb radiation, So far we have grown at least 200,000 flowers (at this temple) and distributed many more seeds. At least 8 million sunflowers blooming in Fukushima originated from here.
Pl. If you want to send us seed must contact with Japan’s embassy in your country.
