"Be able to suspend your anger at injustice, able to switch your focus from stating the problem to addressing solutions, there are avenues available. If you would like to elevate your discussions from the argumentative "he said, she said" to letting the facts declare themselves, and, especially, if you are in a position of authority from which you can champion performance of due diligence, act now."
- Jeff Green (paraphrased)
There's still a potential for x80 Chernobyls at Fukushima. This would be devastating to the entire world; in fact it would be the end of life as we know it. Check some of the data and be surprised and a little dismayed that the Nippon government are allowing the firing up of two reactors to save money this summer; that's after all 54 had been closed down indefinitely. Then we have the ageing nuclear reactors elsewhere on the planet to consider (439 at last count). Incidentally, the Chernobyl aftermath is still poisoning the Northern Hemisphere as we speak -- the mainline media don't mention this. I mean, how sensible was it building 54 reactors in an earthquake zone subject to regular significant earth movements and oceanic disturbances in the first place? It really is worth catching up on some intel regarding this apocalypse in waiting . . .

"The No. 4 pool is about 100 feet above ground, is structurally damaged and is exposed to the open elements. If an earthquake or other event were to cause this pool to drain this could result in a catastrophic radiological fire involving nearly 10 times the amount of Cs-137 released by the Chernobyl accident. The infrastructure to safely remove this material was destroyed as it was at the other three reactors. Spent reactor fuel cannot be simply lifted into the air by a crane as if it were routine cargo. In order to prevent severe radiation exposures, fires and possible explosions, it must be transferred at all times in water and heavily shielded structures into dry casks. As this has never been done before, the removal of the spent fuel from the pools at the damaged Fukushima-Dai-Ichi reactors will require a major and time-consuming re-construction effort and will be charting in unknown waters."

Note: He says "10 times" the Cesium-137 of Chernobyl. Others say up to 85 times. Nobody is 100% certain of what would actually occur because this has never happened before. We are in uncharted territory as a civilization, facing a unique and imminent threat to our continued survival. And both governments and the corporations that assured us nuclear power was safe are playing their "cover my ass" games while the world waits in the crosshairs of a nuclear apocalypse.

Human race being terminated by 'scientific suicide' "The entire Northern hemisphere is now imminently threatened by a massive, "global killer" radiation release from failing Fukushima reactor No. 4. Our world is right now just one earthquake away from a radiological apocalypse, and we were put into this position by scientists who promised us that nuclear power would be safe and inexpensive."

Preparing for Fukushima 2.0: Earthquake Activity is Increasing in The Ring of Fire. . . . .
Mike Adams presented a Fukushima mega-meltdown special on the Friday, May 11 edition of the Alex Jones Show. Adams talks with Arnie Gundersen [Fairewinds.com] the chief engineer of energy consulting company Fairewinds Associates and a former nuclear power industry executive. Mr. Gundersen continues to warn about the cataclysmic potential of the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant and is now warning about serious problems at the San Onofre nuclear plant in San Diego. Mike also talks with Doctor Len Saputo, a board certified doctor of internal medicine and the founder of the Health Medicine Forum, a non-profit educational foundation. Dr. Saputo will talk about health issues related to the Fukushima disaster. Mike interviews Melinda Olson, a Minnesota mom who received a harassing letter from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture for allegedly violating food-handling regulations. Olson says she plans to ignore the state's warning. [See video below -- interview starts around 33 minutes in]

Overview of Greed and Complacency
Nuclear apologists play shoot the messenger on radiation "TWENTY-FIVE years after Chernobyl, many billions of dollars are at stake if the Fukushima reactor meltdowns cause the so-called "atomic renaissance'' to halt or even slow down. This is evident from the nuclear industry's vociferous attacks on its critics."

Fukushima disaster is 'nuclear war without a war'
"Because no efforts are being made to contain Fukushima, as was done with Chernobyl, the facility itself is essentially a grounded nuclear weapon that every second of every day is waging war against Planet Earth. And as far as the human race is concerned, thousands have already died as a result, with millions more to follow in the years and decades to come as the unrelenting spew of radiation settles in every crevice of the global ecology, spurring rapid increases in cancer and other deadly conditions."

SPECIAL REPORT
Visit Sunny Chernobyl: Author Says Nuclear Meltdown Good for the Environment "Silence, cover-ups and lies about the extent of the effects of the radiation have cost untold millions of deaths. The partial meltdown at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory nuclear salt reactors in 1959 went undisclosed to the public for decades, with total effects unknown. A recent survey found 48 of 65 nuclear reactors in the U.S. are leaking, with many of them introducing tritium, the radioactive element of hydrogen, to the environment. Our recent investigation into Austin’s nuclear secrets raises further questions about illegal dumping of waste and the lack of disclosure to the public on nuclear issues." - Aaron Dykes / Learn more
IMPORTANT ANALYSIS WITH GLOBAL IMPLICATIONS
Fukushima: Probability theory is unsafe "Assumptions and probability are for the theoretical dreamers. If you have a hot reactor, submerged in water and this reactor is without the power to circulate the coolant that can shut it down, then you have to find another way to cool it no matter what. If you have lost your last resort of power and heat sink, you should not have taken on the responsibility to operate a nuclear plant in the first place. That is lesson of Fukushima."

The Olympics are heading to Japan after Tokyo wins right to host 2020 games beating Istanbul in IOC vote
IOC will be looking for an alternative venue well before 2020. Whatever the Japanese Government says, Fukushima is much worse than Chernobyl. There is no control of the radioactivity, nor any plan to deal with the devastating consequences of the melt-down of three reactors. Large parts of Japan will become uninhabitable and a very large area of the Pacific will become un-fishable well before 2020. We in Europe will also suffer form the fall-out. Australia had better be ready to receive ~50 million Japanese refugees. After all, they own large chunks of it. Boat people, Mr Abbott?

The answer to that question is provided by Japan's Prime Minister Abe. He claims that Fukushima is no problem whatsoever, that no one has ever been harmed by it, and that it is fully under control!
