NHK: Testing 10% o fFukushima kids thyroid lumps took 1 year — Testing outside Fukushima to begin, will take 7 months with UK University complicity?

http://enenews.com/nhk-parents-have-strong-concerns-over-36-of-fukushima-kids-having-thyroid-lumps-now-testing-outside-fukushima-to-begin/comment-page-1#comment-283071

“….[Fukushima] prefecture had conducted thyroid checks on 38,000 children by the end of March.
No-one was diagnosed with cancer, but lumps were found in 36 percent of the children.

The prefecture explained that lumps can be found in healthy children, so no special measures are needed, but parents voiced strong concerns over the finding.

Thyroid checks will now be conducted on 4,500 children aged 18 years old or younger in 3 areas outside Fukushima Prefecture by the end of March….”

 

This is all i could find available on the public access on submitted papers by the Japan Thyroid Society

none relevant this year.. this link is from the japan societies own website..

funny that such a large society has stopped publishing papers?? especially now?? speaks volumes to me..

did find this on that list though…

“Ionizing Radiation
DECONTAMINATION OF FRESH AND MINIMALLY PROCESSED PRODUCE
Published Online : 20 FEB 2012″

and this

“Ionizing Radiation
Standard Article
PATTY’S TOXICOLOGY
Henry Spitz and Roy E. Albert
Published Online : 27 JAN 2012″

“Ionizing radiation is undoubtedly one of the most intensely studied of all toxic agents.”

You have to wonder how they get it so wrong then? and why there is so much debate over dose?

 

Why aren’t mass studies of children being done?

What was the Fukushima Symposium all about in September 2011? They discussed thyroid testing and analysis but don’t seem to be doing much in the way of testing? Many international health industry “professionals” were present.

 

heres some amateur analysis of that symposium here.

 

International Expert Symposium Ignores Fukushima Residents: Citizens Group
September 10, 2011

“The International Expert Symposium that will be held from 11 September includes this Professor Yamashita on its organizing committee and will bring together experts who underestimate low-dose exposure risks. The Symposium must not be allowed to provide a justification for the Japanese Government’s exposure policy and confer international authority on the “Prefectural People’s Health Management Survey.” This is a threat against not only the people of Fukushima Prefecture but the whole of humankind.

We have submitted an open letter to the Symposium and will also oppose the Symposium with a protest demonstration. Please communicate the injustice of this Symposium to the whole world.
What we, the residents of Fukushima, need most of all is to evacuate to safe areas. The evacuation of children should be carried out with the utmost urgency. The tragedy of Chernobyl must not be repeated in Fukushima.

Seiichi Nakate is Executive Director of Fukushima Network for Saving Children from Radiation”

at 1.36 approx Gerry Thomas

shes talking about the missed chance of Chernobyl and the opportunities of studying the cancer in the fukushima prefecture and developing oncology treatments.. her main issue is coallation of data.. her tissue bank only started in 1998.. at 1.46 approx says saving data is what is important not saving tissue samples and then goes on to say that the 4000 reviewed tissue samples do not include any from Belarus, and that it is a small number anyway! No questions taken from the audience!!

says anything below 100 mgray no worry goes on to discuss thresholds and small risk of low dose damage. Says that figures are clear at 1+ gray but lower down admits things are “not so clear” 50 to 100 milligray data shows some damage.. mainly talks of xray not particulate radiation concerning pregnant women..
@38.38 when asked about internal and external radiation differences he said he sat on a difficult committee for three years which he sniped about.. audience laughs!!. he said that the claims made by the radiological committee “don’t hold water” . lots of help from the audience to divert the question too!

There is a full reply from Geraldine Thomas to inquiries to the wording “saving data is what is important not saving tissue samples” and the obvious conflict that might have on future victim litigation.. 

The reply stated that the focus should be more on the idea that the data would be sufficient to draw conclusions than on the idea of destroying anything.. more or less..

But the videos show active participation from the worlds health professionals and physicists in deciding and planning a future health study for the people of Fukushima without their input and against their wishes..

A well into the future health study, seemingly.
