Fukushima radiation worse than we’ve been told

The meltdown at Fukushima is releasing far more radiation into the atmosphere [than the Nagasaki A bomb] and if unit 4 were to tumble, it would have the same effect as 1,100 A-bombs…..  much more radiation than we’ve been led to believe has made its way to the American shores. 

Fukushima forum: Dr. John Apsley says U.S. is feeling the effects of radiation, Donna Anderson Coast to Coast Radio Examiner  10 June 12, Dr. John Apsley appeared on the Fukushima forum on Coast to Coast AM on Saturday, June 9, 2012 .
For more than 30 years Dr. Apsley , author of “Fukushima Meltdown & Modern Radiation: Protecting Ourselves and Our Future Generations ” has specialized in cell regeneration and accelerated wound repair. He appeared on the show to deliver his findings on the effects of
Fukushima radioactive fall-out on the Japanese people, as well as Americans.

Dr. Apsely started off by making a few comparisons between Fukushima
and Chernobyl. According to Apsely, the fuel pools at Fukushima
contained 7 times the amount of nuclear waste as the fuel pools at
Chernobyl. There were also 6 times the number of people in the area
surrounding Fukushima and the west coast of the United States as there
were in the area around Chernobyl.
With these figures in mind, Apsely says we’re looking at a catastrophe
that can be anywhere from seven to forty-two times worse than
Chernobyl. Initial estimates at Chernobyl indicated that only about 64
deaths were related to the incident. That number has since grown to
more than 1 million, and if you also include the number of people who
were crippled or maimed the number skyrockets to more than 8 million
over the 20-year period since the meltdown.

Apsley says the Japanese people and the American people are not being
told the truth. The Japanese government, in order to avoid panic, is
lowering the acceptable levels of radiation in food. However, there is
no safe level of radiation. Radiation stays in our system for up to
250-300 years and whether it’s one rad or 20, it’s still radiation.

Apsley also says researchers are working off false comparisons to the
A-bombs dropped on Nagasaki when calculating the potential effects and
losses. The A-bomb is a clean bomb, meaning that it had a more perfect
energy conversion, releasing few radioactive particles into the
atmosphere. The meltdown at Fukushima is releasing far more radiation into the atmosphere and if unit 4 were to tumble, it would have the same effect as 1,100 A-bombs.
According to Apsley much more radiation than we’ve been led to believe
has made its way to the American shores. Because of the prevailing
winds at the time of the Fukushima incident, the west coast of the
United States has been exposed to serious levels of radioactive
fall-out. Hardest hit were Colorado and Wyoming. Surprisingly,
Jacksonville, Florida falls into this category, too, due to wind
currents.

But one of the hardest hit states in the nation is Pennsylvania
because of the intense rainfall they had in the area approximately 3
weeks after the explosion. This rainfall carried tremendous amounts of
radiation into the area…….
