World ignores Fukushima radiation at our peril

Fukushima is currently releasing up to 93 billion becquerels of radioactive cesium into the ocean each day. How much radiation is that? A quick calculation shows that Chernobyl released around ten thousand times more radioactive cesium each day during the reactor fire. But the Chernobyl fire only lasted 10 days … and the Fukushima release has been ongoing for more than 2 years so far.

Indeed, Fukushima has already spewed much more radioactive cesium and iodine 131 than Chernobyl. The amount of radioactive cesium released by Fukushima was some 20-30 times higher than initially admitted.

Fukushima also pumped out huge amounts of radioactive iodine 129 – which has a half-life of 15.7 million years.
Fukushima has also dumped up to 900 trillion becquerels of radioactive strontium-90 – which is a powerful internal emitter which mimics calcium and collects in our bones – into the ocean..

Radiation Is Not On People’s Radar, Dr. Mark Sircus, Activist Post, 9 April 13,  In publishing Atomic Suicide Drs. Walter and Lao Russell united with Dr. Albert Schweitzer’s 1957 appeal to the world to end nuclear tests, and in fact any and all use of radioactive elements. In this prophetic book, the Russells explain clearly that with radioactive elements unleashed into our atmosphere, the human race is heading for catastrophe. Giving detailed scientific evidence, they warn that ‘to fail to consider the nature of radioactive elements and their consequences would be a folly for which humanity would have to pay a terrible price.’

Well we know that we have not listened and humanity is paying a high price though most of that cost is hidden.

I never imagined I would feel this nervous to touch my throat until 2 years ago. I check my thyroid, lymph and symptoms. My feet feel a little bit sweaty to be nervous. I was exposed in the first week at Fukushima and the damage is irreversible. Nothing guarantees my life and health for tomorrow. The mass media lies to you to keep you within the fence….
Tepco said over the weekend of April 6th about 120,000 liters (32,000 gallons) of contaminated water leaked from the No. 2 and 3 pits. The plant’s cooling system has also broken down twice in recent weeks. The company is “losing faith” in their underground storage tanks for nuclear contaminated water and there is just no other place to put the waste water except the Pacific. Congratulations to all the arrogant men and women behind the nuclear industry—they have laid down the nuclear seeds that just for starters will destroy first the Pacific then slowly the rest of the world’s oceans.
This must-see simulation  hows the surface waters now radioactive around Hawaii. We know but do not want to pay attention to the fact that Fukushima is contaminating the northern Pacific Ocean. It’s a radioactive plague and it will be lapping up in full force on California’s shores in less than two years, and in fact reports of Sept., 2012 show that it’s already here.

Japanese experts say that Fukushima is currently releasing up to 93 billion becquerels of radioactive cesium into the ocean each day. How much radiation is that?
