The Fukushima nuclear power plant is hemorrhaging radioactive toxic waste into the ocean and though we are told not to panic, nor even to be casually concerned, the situation is dangerous and critical to future life on earth.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since March 11, 2011, the damaged plant has been leaking tremendous amounts of radiation. Now Tepco, the operator of the damaged facility, says they have recorded spikes between 50-70 times above average readings in the gutters that pour water into a nearby bay.<\/p>\n<p>The Nuclear Regulation Authority said February 22, 2015, that an alarm went off at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant signaling high radioactivity levels in drainage ditches. According to the NRA and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co., the first alarm sounded at around\u00a010 a.m., and another alarm 10 minutes later indicated much higher levels.<\/p>\n<p>The levels of beta ray-emitting substances, such as\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/drsircus.us1.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=25b08cc8b5ebaf472984d04d0&amp;id=4ae60716e1&amp;e=602ffa86e0\" target=\"_blank\">strontium-90, measured 5,050 to 7,230 becquerels per liter of water<\/a>\u00a0between\u00a010:20 a.m. and 10:50 a.m.\u00a0Tepco requires radioactivity levels of groundwater at the plant discharged into the sea to remain below 5 becquerels.

Local, national and international fury once again rises against TEPCO as this latest indication that the crisis at the plant is far from under control. Japan\u2019s top government spokesperson reiterated the government\u2019s long-standing mantra, \u201cThe situation is completely under control. Any negative impact of radioactive water on the environment is completely blocked.\u201d TEPCO was aware since April of last year and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/drsircus.us1.list-manage1.com\/track\/click?u=25b08cc8b5ebaf472984d04d0&amp;id=c9e7049f6e&amp;e=602ffa86e0\" target=\"_blank\">did nothing<\/a>\u00a0to prevent contaminated water from leaking directly out to sea.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists are able to actually measure what they say are very low levels of radiation in the ocean that are now reaching the west coast of North America.

It sounds scary because it&#8217;s radioactivity, it&#8217;s Fukushima and it&#8217;s detectable.\u201d Only problem is if there is any strontium in the fish one could get leukemia!<\/p>\n<h2>Low levels of radiation are extremely dangerous<\/h2>\n<p>There has long been public concern about risks from low-level radiation, which is understandable in light of the fact that you may be exposed and yet never know it. Dr. Boyd Haley, the ex-chairman of the chemistry department from Kentucky University warns us that\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/drsircus.us1.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=25b08cc8b5ebaf472984d04d0&amp;id=7efe81ac17&amp;e=602ffa86e0\" target=\"_blank\">even low levels are dangerous and should be everyone\u2019s concern<\/a>. It is widely understood that there is no &#8216;safe&#8217; level of radioactivity. Any amount can kill. The more radioactivity, the greater the impacts. As the National Council on Radiation Protection has declared: &#8220;Every increment of radiation exposure produces an incremental increase in the risk of cancer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On February 18, 2014, the Aichi Prefectural Police arrested a construction firm executive for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/drsircus.us1.list-manage2.com\/track\/click?u=25b08cc8b5ebaf472984d04d0&amp;id=60a80cf5bd&amp;e=602ffa86e0\" target=\"_blank\">sending a 15-year-old boy to help clean up radioactive waste<\/a>\u00a0outside the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant. That executive, the press and governmental agencies around the world all agree that the situation should not be of concern. So do not bother with iodine or anything else like sodium bicarbonate, which both are inexpensive ways to protect oneself and one\u2019s children from radioactive contamination.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/thewatchers.adorraeli.com\/data\/uploads\/fukushima-plume-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Image credit: Bedford Institute of Oceanography<\/p>\n<p>A radiation plume from the March, 2011 nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan took about 2.1 years to travel via ocean currents and ultimately cross the waters of the Pacific Ocean to reach the shores of North America.

This estimate accounts only for the population already living at the time of the accident. A comparable number of excess deaths and sicknesses may be expected in the population that will be born in the period. In addition to these, more than 100,000 excess still-births and a comparable or larger number of excess children born with genetic deformations (e.g. Down syndrome) are expected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The toxic substances such as Tritium, Cesium, Plutonium and Strontium are being carried everywhere by winds, rain and ocean currents, entering the food chain through seaweed and seafood, building up high levels of toxicity in the fish \u2013 and humans \u2013 at the top end of the consumption chain.<\/p>\n<p>It is the contention of this book that all levels of radiation are threatening. When levels increase, even by small amounts, we humans, and all the life around us will suffer from increasing cancer rates thus demanding that doctors learn and teach their patients to take defensive measures. We live in a contaminated world (chemical, heavy metal and radiation) that is getting more toxic day by day.

So Fukushima is worse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/drsircus.us1.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=25b08cc8b5ebaf472984d04d0&amp;id=eb976ca7f5&amp;e=602ffa86e0\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Helen Caldicott<\/a>, a founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility, told a symposium on &#8216;The Medical Implications of Fukushima&#8217; said, &#8220;The accident is enormous in its medical implications. It will induce an epidemic of cancer as people inhale the radioactive elements, eat radioactive vegetables, rice and meat, and drink radioactive milk and teas. As radiation from ocean contamination bio-accumulates up the food chain &#8230; radioactive fish will be caught thousands of miles from Japanese shores. As they are consumed, they will continue the cycle of contamination, proving that no matter where you are, all major nuclear accidents become local. The Fukushima disaster is not over and will never end. The radioactive fallout which remains toxic for hundreds to thousands of years covers large swaths of Japan will never be &#8216;cleaned up&#8217; and will contaminate food, humans and animals virtually forever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Written by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/drsircus.com\/\">Dr. Mark Sircus<\/a>, Ac., OMD, DM (P)<\/p>\n<p>Director International Medical Veritas Association<br \/>\nDoctor of Oriental and Pastoral Medicine<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/thewatchers.adorraeli.com\/2015\/03\/05\/fukushima-worlds-radiation-nightmare\/ &nbsp; Fukushima world\u2019s radiation nightmare &nbsp; Posted by\u00a0The Watcher\u00a0on\u00a0March 05, 2015\u00a0in categories\u00a0Featured articles,\u00a0Radiation &nbsp; Fukushima is Japan&#8217;s and the world\u2019s radiation nightmare that will not go away in our lifetimes nor our children\u2019s or grandchildren\u2019s.
