Fukushima cleanup costs to double
Expert predicts doubling of Fukushima cleanup costs; First Nations want radiation testing of fish by CHARLIE SMITH Straight.com, FEB 15, 2014 A CANADIAN-BORN nuclear-energy expert has predicted that the it will cost at least $120 billion to clean up the mess left by the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant. In an interview with ResourceClips, Thomas Drolet said that it will take 12 to 15 years to convert the Fukushima Daiichi site “back to brownfield condition”.
“Of the government and TEPCO cost estimates, the biggest I’ve seen in print is about $60 billion,” Drolet told journalist Greg Klein. “My opinion? Double that.”…..
Meanwhile here in B.C., the North Shore News hasreported that several First Nations leaders—including Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs president Grand Chief Stewart Phillip and Tahlton Central Council president Annita McPhee—want the federal government to conduct systematic tests of radiation levels in fish from the Pacific Ocean.
Reuben George, a well-known member of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, told the paper that he’s personally reluctant to eat fish.http://www.straight.com/news/588036/expert-predicts-doubling-fukushima-cleanup-costs-first-nations-want-radiation-testing-fish

Nuclear whistleblower Ann Harris said this about radiation—>
“You can’t clean it out of the water
You can’t clean it out of the air
You can’t clean it out of the soil
The only thing you can do is move it around.”
They will spend Trillions of dollars moving the radiation around; meanwhile causing countless numbers of detrimental health effects to humans exposed to the radiation, and mutating DNA in all LIFE exposed to the radiation.
