US State Dept Unclassified Email Warned Radioactive Steam from Fukushima Blowing Toward Tokyo; FOIA Page Appears Missing

A US State Dept document recently released on the US FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) site warns that radioactive steam was blowing toward Tokyo, not to go outdoors, etc. The author of the warning seems to be consultant Mitch Murata and sent from a law firm (Paul Hastings): “From a guy we know here in japan who does background searches for us etc…”

Radioactive Material (Tritium) in Urine of People Living Near Nuclear Reactors in China: Importance of Wind Direction, Mountains

miningawareness's avatarMining Awareness +

Wind direction and topography, such as mountains, play an important role in dispersal of radioactive materials. Nuclear reactors legally leak lethal radionuclides all of the time – it doesn’t take an accident. The authors of the recent study below suggest that higher levels of tritium at 22 km distance from a nuclear power station, in contrast to 10 km distance, is due to either dominant wind direction, or a protective effect of a mountain between the reactors and the 10 km location, or a combination of the two.

Shanghai is located to the northeast of these nuclear reactors.

When measuring radiation, the ability of radioactive materials to travel long distances and the importance of wind direction and topography are important things to consider. If measurements are consistently higher when the wind…

Fanaticism and fantasy drive purported TPP ‘benefits’

Systemic Disorder's avatarSystemic Disorder

So-called “free trade” agreements are continually advertised as creators of jobs, yet jobs are lost and wages decline once they go into effect. As representatives of the 12 countries participating in the Trans-Pacific Partnership gather this week in New Zealand to begin their final push for it, the usual unsubstantiated claims are being put forth.

Why is this so? I mean beyond the obvious answer that such claims are propaganda in the service of corporate elites and financiers. Corporate-funded “think tanks” that pump out a steady barrage of papers making grandiose claims for “free trade” deals that are relied on by the political leaders who push these deals require some data, no matter how massaged. One organization prominent in this process is the Peterson Institute for International Economics, which has issued rosy reports in expectation of deals like the North America Free Trade Agreement — for example, it predicted 170,000…

¶ The global wind energy industry had a record year in 2015, with 62 GW installed. According to new figures released by Bloomberg, global wind energy installs for 2015 reached 62 GW, led by China, which surpassed its own previous onshore wind record by close to 40%, installing just under 29 GW. [CleanTechnica]

¶ British Energy company SSE has said it expects to close three out of four units at a power plant in Cheshire by 1 April. The 45-year old plant has been loss-making for two years and was forecast to…

Challenging the ICRP dose model with Chris Busby – Nuclear Test Veterans Court Information

Buy politicians

h/t missmilkytheclown on Youtube for added info

Excellent video post! A Must See & great links provided from detail box: Prof Chris Busby has had concerning British nuclear test veterans in the UK & their battle with the UK Ministry of Defence & the Home Office. New parameters have been set allowing Prof Busby to challenge the MOD on the false science that they are trying to use to support their case against the nuclear test veterans. This is a first in the UK. This case now has the possibilities of opening up the questions concerning Depleted Uranium and other isotopes that have been deemed to be “low dose”. https://nuclear-news.net/
