Images of Fukushima – fatigue of nuclear workers
PhotoBlog – Doctor describes fatigue of workers at Fukushima nuclear plan, PhotoBlog, David R Arnott 3 June 11, Newly released photographs taken by a doctor who has examined workers at the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant show the difficult living conditions they have endured while battling to bring the situation under control.
ased June 2 by industrial medical doctor Takeshi Tanigawa, who examined the workers. The Japan Times reported that Ehime University professor Takeshi Tanigawa had visited the workers twice since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that triggered a series of meltdowns at the plant. He warned that there was an increased risk of accidents because the workers had suffered from chronic sleep deprivation and fatigue, the paper said.
Tanigawa also warned that workers were at risk of developing PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) due to what they had been through in the early days of the disaster, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.

Fukushima crisis is much worse than authorities say
VIDEO ….. Fukushima Reactors a Raging Nuclear Inferno | Peak Oil News and Message Boards Peak Oil News, May 19, 2011 Professor Christopher Busby, who sits on the European Committee on Radiation Risks, told RT yesterday that the reactors at Fukushima are a raging nuclear inferno and he believes at least one of the reactors is now outside its containment structure and emitting vast amounts of radiation into the atmosphere.

Medical radiation has hidden dangers
Children, he says, face a lifetime of radiation procedures, and many studies suggest that the adverse effects of radiation are cumulative. So limiting radiation exposure, particularly if it’s not absolutely necessary, is a good idea.
AUDIO Reporting On Hidden Dangers Of Medical Radiation, NPR 17 May 11, “…..On Monday’s Fresh Air, Bogdanich discusses his ongoing Times seriesabout the medical and regulatory issues that have arisen as radiation therapies have become more ubiquitous in both dental and doctors’ offices.
“I think we made it clear [in the series] that these are wonderful devices [for treatment] that save countless lives, and people need to get it when they need them, but they need to ask questions,” he says. “People were not asking questions, and, frankly, doctors who were treating the patients were not giving the patients the information they needed.”…… Continue reading

Censorship of radioactive fallout reports
Comparison Of Censored And Uncensored Japan Fukushima Nuclear Radiation Fallout Forecast
Active map Cover up of Japan Fukushima Nuclear Radiation Fallout Forecasts Exposed!
I previously reported on the steady concentrated stream of Nuclear radioactive fallout heading toward the US and Canada. In that post I pointed out that several censored radiation forecasts have been found but were never released to the public.
We now have for the first time a side by side comparison of two radiation fallout forecasts. On the left is the censored version released to the public downplaying the levels of radiation spreading around the world. On the right is the same uncensored forecast…. http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/2011/04/19/comparison-censored-uncensored-japan-nuclear-radiation-fallout-forecast-18514/
Fukushima cleanup plan means continued radioactive leaking

Plan to End Fukushima Nuclear Crisis Leaves Reactor Leaking Radiation For Another 3 Months : – The Intel Hub, By Alexander Higgins April 14th, 2011 Japan’s plan to end the Fukushima nuclear reactor crisis involves letting radiation leak for the next 3 months.The manufacturer of the Fukushima nuclear reactor revealed the plan to end the nuclear reactor radiation leak which will be split into 3 phases over 10 years. The first stage will take about three months during which they plan to stabilize the nuclear reactor and spent fuel pools while preventing the radiation leak from increasing.You read that correct, NO PLAN TO STOP THE RADIATION LEAK WITHIN THE NEXT 3 MONTHS – ONLY A PLAN TO STOP THE LEAK FROM INCREASING.

Three aspects of Fukushima nuclear crisis
VIDEO Arnie Gundersen: Three Things You Should Know About Fukushima –– Forbes, Osha Gray Davidson , 13 April 11– Nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen has plenty of experience with nuclear “events.” He was an expert witness during the investigation of the 1979 Three Mile Island accident and has studied the catastrophic failure at Chernobyl in 1986. He has critics aplenty — primarily from inside the nuclear industry who see him as a turncoat.Still, he’s one of the more knowledgeable sources you can find on nuclear power.In the video below, Gunderson discusses three aspects of the disaster at Fukushima that are worth considering.

Radioactive Cesium in Hawaii and other USA locations
AUDIO Japan Nuclear Radiation In Hawaii Milk At LEAST 600% Above Federal Drinking Water Limits : The Intel Hub By Alexander Higgins – Contributing Writer April 12, 2011 Title of article now represents the minimum percentage that the radiation found in Hawaii is over EPA standards.
New EPA milk samples in Hawaii show radiation in milk at 800% above limits for Cs-134, 633% above limits for Cs-137 and 600% above EPA maximum for I-131 for a total of 2033%, or 20.33 times, above the federal drinking water limits.

Safety concerns raised about global nuclear industry
VIDEO Japanese Nuclear Crisis Renews International Safety Concerns | East Asia and Pacific | English “……. Jeffrey Young April 07, 2011 While the international nuclear power industry says it is strongly focused on safety, the events at Japan’s Fukushima facility raise concerns that – no matter how carefully designed these nuclear facilities may be – accidents can happen……Officials monitoring the Fukushima disaster are carefully monitoring the concrete and steel structures called “containment vessels” that encase the nuclear reactors. These containment vessels are designed to prevent radiation from escaping. There are concerns that at least one of the vessels at Fukushima may have been breached….

Aerial views of Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power complex
PHOTOS Bird’s-Eye View Of Japan’s Stricken Nuclear Plant Shows Vast Damage : The Picture Show : NPR, by Andrew Prince, 31 March, Our reporters and photographers on the ground in Japan have helped us hear and see the destruction wrought by the massive quake and tsunami that struck the island nation March 11. In contrast, the crisis unfolding at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power complex remains largely opaque.
Mostly, that’s because damage to the nuclear reactors and the buildings that house them makes for hazardous and radioactive conditions. Forget about access for journalists: Workers can’t even get too close for too long. Four of the facility’s six reactor units have been badly damaged by explosions and fires triggered by failures in emergency cooling systems in the wake of the quake and tsunami. These aerial photographs of the facility, taken by a drone on March 20 and 24, put a new face on the ongoing nuclear crisis…..
