Niigata prefectural government distributes iodine tablets to residents living within 30 km of nuclear power plant in advance and calls for pickup

May 14, 2022
Niigata Prefecture has decided to distribute in advance stable iodine tablets, which suppress internal exposure to the thyroid gland in the event of an accident at a nuclear power plant, to residents within 30 km of the plant in addition to those within 5 km of the plant. Niigata Prefecture has decided to distribute the drug in advance to residents within 30 km of the plant, in addition to those within 5 km of the plant, and is calling for their receipt.

According to the national guidelines in preparation for a serious accident at the nuclear power plant, “stable iodine tablets,” which suppress exposure to the thyroid gland, are to be distributed in advance to residents within a 5-kilometer radius of the plant, while those within a 30-kilometer radius are, in principle, to be distributed upon evacuation. The government, however, allows local governments to distribute iodine tablets in advance if they anticipate difficulties.
The prefectural government has decided to distribute the kits in advance, taking into consideration the recent string of heavy snowfalls and other factors that may prevent smooth distribution at the time of evacuation.
The distribution is targeted at people under 40 years of age and pregnant women, and will be offered to those over 40 years of age who wish to receive one.
The prefectural government plans to distribute the kits to residents of Kashiwazaki City first, and then to residents of other municipalities in turn.
The Prefectural Government’s Infectious Disease Control and Pharmaceutical Affairs Division is asking those who are eligible to receive the iodine stabilizers to carefully read the information they receive from the prefecture and receive them in advance in case of an emergency.

Where the toxic nuclear industry and global heating collide – the disastrous wildfires in America.

Yes, the video above goes back to 2015. Ancient history? If only!

We just don’t get to learn from the mainstream mdia, about this radioactive danger,

Terry Southard brought this information to our notice:

New Mexico is just on fire. 400 thousand acres burned. So much nuclear waste and fallout there from bomb building and testing I would not be surprised if everyone has cancer in 10 years. Nuke bombs exploded under rivers in nm project gas buggy. Uranium waste catastrophes. Nuclear waste dumps in in many places. Largest plutonium core operation in the world at Los Alamos, by Santa fe. Wipp

These explosions were caused by parts of the decommisioned, highly radioactive pieces of the San onofre reactor, biried in Nevada. They later dug them up, after the explosions and, moved them to utah.

Steppenwolf just stick yur head into the sand pretend that all is grand and everything will be ok

This will start happening at white mesa nuke waste operation, by blanding, utah. There will wildfires at dark canyon, white mesa, and bears ears. There was a truck fire of nuke waste at energy fuels other site by saltlake city. The white mesa, energy fuel operation is trucking in nuke waste, from all over the world.

This shows the wildfires still going on in New mexico

The hypocrisy of Europe pretending that nuclear power is the ”solution” for not depending on Russian gas.

With breath-taking blindness or stupidity (or both) European ”experts” are saying that Europe can become ”emergy independent” and no longer rely on Russia’s gas and oil, – by turning to nuclear power.

What a load of rubbish! They must know full well that Russia dominates the global nuclear industry.

By turning to nuclear power, European countries will become even more dependent – on Russia and Kazakhstan for uranium, on Russia for nuclear technology and expertise.

That is blatant hypocrisy. But it’s not the only bit of hypocrisy.

The other bit is that nuclear power:

(a) in its full fuel cycle – from uranium mining through to toxic waste disposal, emits lots of carbon and increases global heating.

(b) even if it worked against global heating, nuclear power takes so very long to set up, that it would come into operation much too late to be any use.
