The News That Matters about the Nuclear Industry Fukushima Chernobyl Mayak Three Mile Island Atomic Testing Radiation Isotope

We don’t need hoaxes about ionising radiation: the truth is bad enough

I was very grateful to “Hoax-Slayer” for this article. Arclight alerted me to the photo of these ‘fatally radioactive’ whales, and  at the group of people so close to them , and none wearing protective clothing.  And I puzzled as to how these whales got so close to highly radioactive matter at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plants?

It is important for us, who oppose nuclear [power, and warn about ionising radiation, to scrutinuse extreme stories like this.  We don’t need fantasies for evidence. The true facts are bad enough. And – the nuclear lobby will use sories such as this one, against us!

 

No, Radiation from Fukushima has NOT Killed Hundreds of Whales Outline, Hoax Slayer 10 Sept 13  Circulating message couched as a news report claims that hundreds of whales have been killed by radiation from the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan. The report features a photograph showing dead whales on a beach.

Brief Analysis  The claims in the story are outright lies. There are no credible reports of large numbers of whales dying from Fukushima radiation. The image used in the articles shows pilot whales stranded on a New Zealand beach in 2010 and has no connection whatsoever with the 2011 Fukushima meltdown. While the potential effects of the Fukushima disaster are of significant concern, spreading lies and misinformation about the issue is counterproductive and irresponsible…….

 While there is a great deal of information about the Fukushima disaster and its potential effects on the environment, there are no credible reports at all that support the claim that hundreds of whales have died due to radiation from the plant. 

And the image depicting dead whales – which comprises the only evidence of the alleged event presented in the report – has no connection with Fukushima whatsoever.

In fact, the image shows pilot whales stranded on a beach in New Zealand. And the event occurred in August 2010, months before the March 2011 Fukushima meltdown. ….. The Fukushima disaster and the possible long-term effects on the environment are certainly of concern, not only to Japan, but to the world as a whole. And that is why it is vital that discussions of the issue use verified facts rather than lies, hearsay and misinformation. http://www.hoax-slayer.com/fukushima-dead-whales-hoax.shtml
