When Young People Die In Fukushima ☢



Morcheeba - Blood Like Lemonade (official) 
The Music Video above might not have anything to do with the following post. But I feel a lot of people, especially in Japan have been made reluctant renegades!


 

Democracy Now a daily independent global news hour with Amy Goodman & Juan González

Video Transcript from 15:15 minutes in to 17:30 min


Yukiko Kameya can never return home again
Evacuated from Futaba, Japan. Can never return home.
YUKIKO KAMEYA, Former Resident of Futaba, Japan (Evacuated From Town Near Fukushima): [Translated] When I fled from Futaba I could not even talk. I could not even have friends over or anything, but my people encouraged me to be standing here right now. Without any peoples help I could not be here. That's why I appreciate them and want to join them in their cause.

Reporter: What is your message to the Japanese government and the world about nuclear power?


YUKIKO KAMEYA, Former Resident of Futaba, Japan: I don't want anyone in the world to experiece what we have experienced, we have housing in Futaba but there is nothing there. Everything was robbed. All the furniture was brokened, I cant really go back there, we know it. We don't want anyone in the world to be in the situation that we are in. There are 59 children with thyroid problem, and there are hundreds more on the way. The real problem in Fukushima is children can not go out and play. They have to stay inside and this is not the way children should grow up. I don't want anyone in the world or Japan to experience this type of situation for children. So I want to stop Nuclear Facilities right now and I don't want them to be continued.


Reporter: Do you think you will ever be able to return to your home?

YUKIKO KAMEYA, Former Resident of Futaba, Japan: The Futaba where I live is not livable and the government say so. So I know we are never going back in my entire life. But for the Fukushima Prefecture it is still not safe, the radiation level is still very high. So I don't think it is safe and I don't think we will go back there.

Reporter: And what is your assessment of how the government has handled the crisis?

YUKIKO KAMEYA, Former Resident of Futaba, Japan: We expected our government to do a better job when this accident happened. But they don't really do what you want. They ignore all the problems we’re having. There are many young people between 15 and 19 in Fukushima who are in high school who have died suddenly. For example, this morning I saw an online story that a 17-year-old died from Leukemia. In the morning when his mother came to wake him up, he was found dead in bed. Everyone says this was caused by the radiation levels from the nuclear accident. But our government never recognized it, and there are 59 children with thyroid cancer, they’ll never recognize it as being caused by the radiation.

AMY GOODMAN: Music from the film Nuclear Nation: The Fukushima Refugees Story. This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. This is the third day of our broadcast from Tokyo, Japan, and the final day. We are talking about moving in on the third anniversary of the Fukushima disaster. Nineteen thousand people died or went missing on that day, March 11th, 2011, and the days afterwards, when the earthquake triggered a tsunami, and three of the reactors at the Fukushima nuclear power plant melted down.

We’re joined right now by Futaba’s former mayor, Katsutaka Idogawa. For years, he embraced nuclear power. Now he has become a vocal critic. He is featured in the film Nuclear Nation.

We welcome you to Democracy Now! And thank you for traveling two hours to join us here at the studios of NHK International for this conversation. Mayor, explain what happened on that day, special thanks to Mary Joyce, who is translating for you today, on that day, March 11, 2011, and the days afterwards, when you decided it was time for the thousands of people who lived in your town, Futaba, to leave.

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] On that day, there was an earthquake of the scale of something we’d never experienced before. It was a huge surprise. And at the time, I was just hoping that nothing had happened to the nuclear power plant. However, unfortunately, there was in fact an accident there. And then I worked with the many residents, and thinking about how I could fully evacuate them from the radiation.

AMY GOODMAN: You made a decision to evacuate your town before the Japanese government told the people in the area to do this, but not before the U.S. government told Americans to leave the area and other governments said the same.

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] Yes, the Japanese government’s information to evacuate became much later than that, and my mistake at the time was initially waiting to hear that. If I had made the decision even three hours earlier, I would have been able to prevent so many people from being so heavily exposed to radiation; however, as a result of that, unfortunately, several hundreds of people were directly affected by this radiation.

AMY GOODMAN: Where did you decide to move the whole town?

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] I was originally thinking about this at the time of the earthquake on March 11 first. However, at first, I was waiting to rely on the government information to decide the timing for this.

AMY GOODMAN: And so, you moved the town to a school in the outskirts of Tokyo, is that right? The entire town to an abandoned school? Explain how you set up your government, your whole community, in this one building.

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] Right at the start, we were unfortunately not able to evacuate all of the residents, and some actually did remain within parts of Fukushima prefecture. And as a result of this, there was actually a gap created between those who were still remaining within the greater Fukushima prefecture area and those who evacuated to Saitama, outside of Tokyo. And the reason for this is we had no access to communication, to information, to mobile phones.

AMY GOODMAN: And so, how long did people stay? How many people were in this school? And what role did the government play? How has the government helped the refugees?

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] We were able to evacuate around 1,400 of the residents to Saitama prefecture, outside of Tokyo. So they were saved from the initial first exposure, the most serious exposure to radiation at the time. But many of them, unable to deal with the situation, gradually started to return to different parts of Fukushima prefecture.

AMY GOODMAN: You have not returned back to your town?

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] Yes, I am still living in evacuation away from the heavily radiated areas.

AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about the meetings that you have had with the government? You have had a remarkable association of nuclear mayors in Japan, the mayors who live—who preside over towns that have nuclear power plants in them.

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] From before the accident, we had always been strongly calling upon the government, and also TEPCO, to make sure that no accident was ever allowed to happen. And they were always telling us, "Don’t worry, Mayor. No accident could ever happen." However, because this promise was betrayed, this is why I became anti-nuclear.

AMY GOODMAN: I want to go to a clip from Atsushi Funahashi’s new documentary film about the former residents of Futaba, where the Fukushima Daichi nuclear power plant is partly located. The film is called Nuclear Nation: The Fukushima Refugees Story. And we’re going to go to a part of the film that shows a part of this remarkable meeting of government officials with the atomic mayors, the nuclear mayors of Japan.


BANRI KAIEDA: [translated] The future of energy production and Japanese energy policy is currently being debated, and this is something we’ve communicated to you. Regarding the details of this review, I believe it’s important to clearly define the terms as soon as possible. Thank you very much.


MARC CARPENTIER, Narrator: The industry minister leaves his seat in the first five minutes.


GOSHI HOSONO: [translated] The central and prefectural governments are working on the annual health check guidelines. Based on what we’ve researched until now, the impact of radiation on children appears negligible. However, we will endeavor to keep you apprised of any developments.


MARC CARPENTIER: The nuclear crisis minister follows suit, citing official duties.


CHAIRPERSON: [translated] And now, we’d like to open the floor for comments. Please raise your hands. OK, go ahead.


MAYOR KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] I’m representing Futaba. I want to know why we’re being made to feel this way. It’s frustrating. What does the nuclear power committee think? When you came and explained it to us, you lied, saying it was safe and secure. But we, who trusted and believed you, can no longer live in our own town.

AMY GOODMAN: That last voice was the mayor at the time of Futaba, Katsutaka Idogawa, who is with us today in our Tokyo studio. Futaba is where part of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is located. He was speaking, addressing this meeting of government officials and nuclear mayors from around Japan in August of 2011. You just heard, oh, the voices of Goshi Hosono, who was the nuclear crisis minister of Japan, and Banri Kaieda, a minister of the economy, trade and industry. And after each of them spoke, they politely took their leave of the room before the mayors could address them, so they did not hear the Futaba mayor’s statement about the lies from the government. Talk about that particular meeting.

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] At the time, we were calling for a strong response and attention from the government since the disaster. However, they didn’t even try to listen to what we were calling for. And they continued to not even try to make efforts to fulfill their responsibilities or promise to us. And so, they continued to appear before us, those who were suffering directly from the disaster, but instead of listening to something which would maybe be difficult for their ears to hear, they would just leave the room, not even listen to us at all. And within those who were left in the room were some government officials, including some who were directly the ones who told me that no accident would ever happen. However, no matter what I would try to appeal and say to them, it would not have any effect, so instead I turned around and appealed and spoke to my colleagues, my fellow residents, and I tried to tell them what was really happening, the situation.

AMY GOODMAN: Former Mayor Katsutaka Idogawa, you were a fierce proponent of nuclear power. You were pushing for two more reactors to be built even closer to Futaba than the others. You were proud of getting tens of millions of dollars for your town for hosting these reactors. How did you make your transition to being one of the most vocal government officials against all nuclear power?

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] I had been supporting the nuclear power plants in our town on the condition that no accident, no disaster, would be allowed to occur. It was not necessarily that I was actually totally in favor of the nuclear power plants; however, the situation that was in places without the nuclear power plants there, our city would be losing the financial benefits and perhaps unable to go forward economically. The city was actually on the brink of bankruptcy beforehand. And so, in order to try and prevent the city from going into this kind of economic breakdown, I saw that building the new two reactors was perhaps the only way.

AMY GOODMAN: I want to go to a clip, another clip of Nuclear Nation, that gives us a little background on the town of Futaba.


MARC CARPENTIER: Futaba’s farming history goes back over a thousand years. In winter months, people had to leave town for work in the city. Reactors 5 and 6 came online in 1978 and ’79. Money flowed in from the government, and the townspeople found themselves with lots of extra cash. They built roads, a library, a sprawling sports center, and made major upgrades to the infrastructure.

AMY GOODMAN: Nuclear Nation, talking about nuclear refugees, the nuclear refugees of Futaba. And we’re joined by the former mayor, who made the decision, on his own, right after the earthquake, to move his entire town, to evacuate it to Tokyo, being deeply concerned about the levels of radiation and feeling that the government was lying to them about the dangers in the area. This was a mayor, Katsutaka Idogawa, who was fiercely for nuclear power, was proud to be able to get two more reactors in his town to build the economy, to get tens of millions of dollars, and then turned around after the meltdown, after the earthquake, the tsunami and the ultimate meltdown of three of the six existing reactors.

Mayor, right now, you are not the only one who turned around in office. Naoto Kan, the prime minister, also a fierce proponent, is now speaking out all over the world against nuclear power. But just this week, as we flew in to Japan, the government of Prime Minister Abe, the most conservative government since World War II, announced that it wants to build more reactors in Japan. How are you organizing? What are you doing now?

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] Without being able to even deal with the consequences of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the position to promote nuclear power still is something which is just unthinkable to me. And I believe it’s really important for the prime minister to look at what he’s actually been responsible for and have regret and really deal with what they have done, before they can actually go forward and do anything. And the disaster now is bigger than anything we can cope with. It’s a disaster on an international level, and huge consequences, so he needs to really recognize this.

AMY GOODMAN: So who’s driving the push for more nuclear power? The country, already 30 percent dependent for its energy on nuclear power, had plans to make the country more than 50 percent by 2030. But after this catastrophe, who is pushing for these nuclear power plants?

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] The nuclear power system is constructed to use huge amounts of public tax. And this is a very tasty, shall we say, position or situation for the large corporations. They were really behind this push. However, much public taxpayers’ money is being used behind this. And I believe it’s so important to prevent our taxes from being used for any of this kind.

AMY GOODMAN: What has happened to the Fukushima refugees today?

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] There are so many people who want to evacuate but don’t have the means to be able to actually do that and are still living in this situation, who want to do something, but they have no support. And another huge issue is those who are still forced to be living within the greater Fukushima prefecture area do not have access to full health measurements, health treatments, and the kind of support that they need. And they’re also told that any diseases or sickness that they have is not caused by radiation.

AMY GOODMAN: You are traveling the world. Can you tell us the countries you’ve been to and why you’re speaking there?

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] I’m working with people all around the world, speaking with people who are working against nuclear power in their own areas.

AMY GOODMAN: You went to Finland?

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] Yes.

AMY GOODMAN: Why?

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] I went to Finland to speak with people who are working against the construction of nuclear power plants in their areas, because they knew our situation and what happened to us, and we’re trying to work together to prevent this from ever happening to them.

AMY GOODMAN: In the United States, a nuclear power plant has not been built in close to 40 years, very much because of the anti-nuclear movement and the cost of what it means to build a nuclear power plant and what to do with the waste. But President Obama has talked about a nuclear renaissance and is pushing for the building of several new plants for the first time in decades. What message would you share with him?

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] The nuclear power disaster is not just of Fukushima. This is a disaster of all humanity, of the entire world. There is a Japanese saying, and its meaning is that, well, any kind of disaster, three times is the limit. And we have had the three large disasters: one in the United States, one at Chernobyl, and now Fukushima. The Earth will not be able to cope with any further nuclear disasters. For the children of the future, the future generations, I hope that we can stop this now.

AMY GOODMAN: What is the alternative?

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] Well, I’ve heard in U.S. there is shale gas, for example. But as well as other forms of energy, I believe it’s also very important now to look at how we can have lifestyles that rely less on energy, that use less energy more efficient in our homes and in our offices. And Prime Minister Koizumi is also suggesting this.

AMY GOODMAN: Prime Minister Koizumi, very significant that a conservative former prime minister also came out against nuclear power.

KATSUTAKA IDOGAWA: [translated] Even he looked at the actual situation. And I believe that Prime Minister Koizumi really visited places affected by nuclear power to really see what is happening, and he’s really speaking sincerely now.

AMY GOODMAN: I want to thank you very much for joining us on Democracy Now!, Katsutaka Idogawa, former mayor of the town of Futaba, where part of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is located. The entire town was rendered uninhabitable by the nuclear meltdown. This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. Stay with us. After break, crowdsourcing radiation monitoring. We’ll look at how a group called Safecast has helped Japanese civilians turn their smartphones into Geiger counters. Stay with us.

One year after Fukushima Audio Collection

Today a year has past since the Fukushima disaster, and in that time the earthquake activity in the area have gone up some 24 times from the recorded average in the area. 231 earthquakes above M4 have hit since the devastating earthquake with numerous M5 quakes recently centering in around Fukushima. Some of us look at the recent solar activity and solar storms and see a direct connection.

This don’t sound good for us that continually follow the ongoing Fukushima nuclear disaster. With real experts doing all they can to try and educate the masses and bring attention to the severity of this disaster as we get headlines like..

“If Unit 4 gets a crack from quakes and leaks, it would be the end for Tokyo.” 

While I’m at it, describing to you how much earthquake activity has gone up (24 times). It will surprise some of you, probably living in caves somewhere.. That a few weeks ago the radiation levels reported in Tokyo, many parts of it, has in fact radioactive levels 25 times higher than the mandatory evacuation zones around Chernobyl!! 

There is really a treat here. Still people don’t really care about. They do go on that everything is fine, like it’s already over. They draw parallels to Chernobyl and say, “look at that place, people still live there and are doing just fine..” It’s nothing new that TEPCO and the Japanese government have been less than forthcoming since the beginning of this disaster, lies upon lies.. Some don’t question but the Japanese people are getting more and more angry, and they know they are being told lies and half truths. The Japanese people are more and more opening their eyes and start to see TEPCO the clown with the curly hair and painted face denying everything saying it’s a “wardrobe malfunction”.

“Report: Records of human deformations and still births after Fukushima yet to be published” 

In 1986 some magazines and pro-nuclear articles went out and said nuclear power is as safe as a chocolate factory, a few weeks later Chernobyl blew up. 25 years later, the movement and “educated” thinking among experts and the schooled children growing up after started to go back to normal. Normal being that nuclear power is cheap and safe, however this time the disaster was the greatest nuclear disaster in the history of the world, and it’s still going. Anyone who have the guts to look at a Chernobyl documentary and see how that nuclear disaster have affected the children would never say something like it’s safe and fine. It’s not fine, Fukushima is not fine, it’s not over, it’s ongoing.

Children in Fukushima stopped growing last year, it’s widely known and reported on by doctors in the area, children should not do that if there was nothing very wrong.
☢ Fukushima Radiation Sickness Symptoms Public Inability To Fight Illness Part1 ☢

Yet today a English documentary went on to say they are still unsure about the health effects on children. I guess they are still waiting for that report? 

But that's not all, what about all the Radiation Sickness Symptoms showing up all over. Like people loosing hair, teeth and getting all kinds of illnesses. Watch this video of a High School teacher about how the radiation destroy her health. I know about 90% of the school teachers eat the same food they serve the children during the school day. Now what damage do you think this does to young children that are growing when it wrecks adults like this?

In March 2012 Yoichi Shimatsu talked about a young woman who had only traveled to Japan, what happened to her is disturbing to say the least. She had only been there a short period of time and ate the food.. Read more about that and listen to the Must Hear 2012 audio collection below.

Download MP3 Audio: 01-30-12 - In the US – From Hong Kong – Yoichi Shimatsu – Fukushima Report
Transcribed part about 1 min in:

Jeff Rense: Don’t suppose there will be a big tourist push this season into Fukushima..?

Yoichi Shimatsu: Well the Japanese government is pushing tourism like crazy and people are foolish enough to visit. My travel agent in Hong Kong told me that a lot of people gone over, only to Osaka to southern part of ??? Island and one lady went over there. She was very careful about the diet and all that but you know enjoyed Japanese food, she came back, she’s about 26 years old, office worker.

She came back, this is what my travel agent told me. She wasn’t felling very good, stomach wasn’t felling too good, her head was woozy, went to the doctor and the doctor told her, you can’t have a baby for the next 3 years.. That was his diagnosis. 

Jeff Rense: That’s a smart doctor..

Yoichi Shimatsu: Japanese government inviting people over there where they’re eating the food, drinking the water, breathing the air and they are coming down with conditions where women can not have babies for many years...

Transcribed part:

Jeff Rense: Fukushima radiation as it has covered and continues to cover and impact north of America and the northern hemisphere. Hello MC and welcome back.

Michael Collins: Why thank you JR, I am pleased to be back and last week we did talk about some of these testing that we have been doing and here in Los Angeles we spoke about how the test that we have of the air here have not been impacted by Radon, that Radon progeny is not an issue here and we found very high amounts of Alpha and Beta radiation in the two test that you just posted. 

Jeff Rense: They will be up in a couple of minutes, right.

Michael Collins: That’s right, and our theory we where talking about well if the rain isn’t bringing it here to southern California because of the 42 day period that we used those two HEPA filters a Westing house and Kenmore Plasma Wave. There was no rain and yet we got 538 percent above normal in the dust itself. The dust’s hot you can see it yourself folks it’s like.

Jeff Rense: OK 538, that means 5 times over normal or 4 times above normal a total of 5 anyway OK.

Michael Collins: 5.4 times normal…

Transcribed first minutes:

Jeff Rense: And we are back, “it’s a hot time in the old town tonight” probably a song that the Japanese don’t know but it would certainly serve their purposes and many of these cities on the main Island of Honshu, because radioactivity, radio nuclides are spreading all over nonstop. 70 Million Bequarels An Hour being released from the wrecked destroyed Fukushima plant. 

Reactor building 4 leaning it’s traditional 15 degrees and starting to look more like the leaning tower of Pisa all the time. The Japanese are doing nothing to try and prop that building up, nothing substantial, they cant get near it. 

The activity being generated by the spent fuel pool and of course the ruined reactor which was NOT as TEPCO told us empty. And being refueled, it was full, it was triggered in fact to start back online the very morning of 03-11. They had to stop it because there was a broken pipe, just then the earthquake hit and all hell broke lose. And it is hell on earth.

Meanwhile reactor 2 has continually seen it’s temperatures go up, it went up 5 degrees.. 3 degrees? 3 degrees Celsius in 5 hours yesterday, it is very hot and getting hotter and they the authorities don’t know what’s causing it. Let me tell you though that reactor building 4 with it’s destroyed spent fuel pool the SFP, 3 stories, 4 stories up in the air. When that comes crashing down it is full of destroyed fuel rods, these fuel roods of course some are brand new, some are used. The used rods pose more of an danger than the new ones, so when the SFP at reactor building 4 hits the ground it will go critical immediately. It will literally turn into a nuclear pier of death, it will spew unbelievable amounts of Plutonium and everything that you can, probably 100s of different Radioisotopes will be thrown into the air. Into the ocean and according to one worker at the plant within one year that building is coming down, no more than that.

Because the neutron activity is literally destroying the structural integrity of the building. It’s weakening everything, it’s degrading it, it will fall. And when it does, he said the entire east coast of Japan that’s facing us and the west coast of the United States will become uninhabitable. 

How will it become uninhabitable? It will become uninhabitable because of all along the shoreline the wave action creates vapor, aerosolized droplets of nuclear death. That also of course brings the issue of evaporation which turns into clouds, which moves in storm systems across the ocean and on to the land depositing it’s deadly cargo there. So when building 4 goes down, and that spent fuel pool goes critical, folks you better start wearing masks all the time and you still got time to get covers for your gardens or you wont be the one to garden out there…
Transcribed part:

Yoichi Shimatsu: Hello Jeff, hear you had some problem with people ?? on your reporting on Fukushima which mystifies me because it’s one of the most consistent and full coverage out there with a very wide diverse range of opinion so, don’t know what they are complaining about. But I’m afraid it wont have any basis really in anything factual.

Jeff Rense: No it really doesn’t and we have mentioned virtually every scenario I can go back to Benjamin Fullford appearance on the program here, and what Ben proposed was that two nuclear warheads from the submarine Kursk.. The submarine Kursk? Yes, under the nose of the Russian navy where stolen and brought to Japan and dropped down the bore hole pipe 10 inches in diameter of a drilling ship off Fukushima. That’s one. Another person suggested the US navy went there with a submarine and dropped down a couple of nukes in the trench and lit them off. Another person suggest it was the Israeli who went over in one of their German Diesel Electric Submarines and lit off a nuke down there to get even with Japan for some fantasized crime or other. Look folks, Japan is the known earthquake capital of the known universe, OK. Earthquakes happen all the time. Anyway Yoichi, yeah a very small number of people like a handful or less decided to make a big issue of this and rather than approach it journalistically it has been done in such a way as to clearly be liableness and character deformation of the most ugly variety but that’s the way of the internet and you know we do our best.

Transcribed first minute:

Jeff Rense: Ok and welcome back, it’s time to do our Monday update with Michael Collins of enviroreporter dot com he and Denise running things in Santa Monica trying to keep handle on the situation of Fukushima Radiation coming here continually, either via the Jet stream or the lower altitude air flow currents and moisture bands that come across and of course via the Pacific Ocean. And it’s ocean currents which are like a very sophisticated circulatory system which have brought these materials, all kinds of deadly radionuclides over here for many, many months now. All up and down the west coast, up into the golf of Alaska, will you hear anything from the Environmental “Protection Agency” ? Not a chance. Hello Michael and welcome back.

Transcribed first minute:

Jeff Rense: OK and we are back and it’s time to spend an hour of this week with Michael Collins and get a good look at what is happening here and of course over in Japan. The open wound on the surface of the earth which continue to spew radioactive death, unfortunately at a level that is still now being finally understood by the greater portion of the Japanese people and the American people as well.

Transcribed first minute:

Jeff Rense: OK and welcome back we are going to spend some time in Japan this hour with Dr. Richard Wilcox he is an extraordinary man who has been doing the very best he can against virtually insurmountable odds to try and make the Japanese people aware of what their government is not telling them. And what it’s not telling them is down right horrific. We saw this story two days ago that Tokyo many parts of it, has in fact radioactive levels 25 times higher than the mandatory evacuation zones around Chernobyl. Think about that. Trainstations, buildings, houses, streets. It does not matter, it’s everywhere to one degree or another but if they are getting readings 25 times higher than Chernobyl’s mandatory evacuation zones, WOW.

There is a lot of talk that the Japanese government in the beginning of the catastrophe a year ago this April the 11th didn’t know what to do. We know that, but what the talk is really suggesting is that the Japanese government was actively considering evacuating the city, I think it’s around 30 million people. Well obviously they should have and still probably should have, these people are just going to get sick and die in many cases. So lets go over to Japan right now and welcome to the program...

Transcribed:

Jeff Rense: Ok here we are and lets go over to Hong Kong and say hello to our friend and colleague Yoichi Shimatsu who has contributed so very, very much to our understanding and I think more than that even our empathy to the people and the, well the whole culture that has been decimated and will continue to show more and more signs of imploding, the Japanese culture in the months and years ahead. It is a living tragedy unfolding before our eyes in living color. Unfortunately most of us over here in this country will never get to see it unless you are watching this particular website or listening to this program because of the Zionist nuclear regulatory commission and all the other Zionist entities here block the news out almost entirely. Yoichi hello and welcome back..

Transcribed first minute:

Early Fallout Map from March 21, 2011 (Not the one talked about on show)
Jeff Rense: OK and welcome back let me take our weekly look at the ongoing Fukushima nuclear catastrophe, it is an open nuclear bomb spewing death literally around the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. And if you saw the map that we had up yesterday at rense dot com or the day before, I think it was 3 days all together. You saw the radioactive hot particle that blanketed these formally United States most Americans either inhaled or ate them. 

They went into the soil, remember they have long half lives. They were up taken by the plants or they where simply on the plants and people ate them. That’s the worst, you can get them on your arms and wash them off sometimes, but when you inhale or eat them, that sets of in many people a time bomb of death. Many Americans are going to die, millions, maybe 10s of millions. It only takes one particle, you saw the map it was no joke. We have been lied to, deceived, betrayed by our alleged government. We are expendable. Michael Collins is with us tonight..

Fukushima Doctors Angry Over Media Blackout Radiation

The municipal hospital at Minami-Soma, about 30 km from the nuclear plant, measured 100,000 counts per minute on clothing from some patients.

Tomoyoshi Oikawa, a doctor at the hospital, has complained that even though he has time and again talked about the exposure of patients to high-level radiation, most media has not reported his findings.

Medical checks by the Minami-Soma Municipal Mospital using Whole Body Counters (WBCs) show the seriousness of radiation exposure. Of the 527 children checked in and after September, 268, or 51 percent, were found to have suffered from internal exposure to cesium-137. One doctor at the hospital said some of the children had been eating wild plants picked in the mountains. Evidence of high-level exposure to gamma rays was detected in the clothes of some children, indicating, he said, that their parents were paying little attention to the risks of radiation exposure.

The municipal hospital is capable of examining and treating only 110 children per day due to the small number of WBC machine's available. Efforts by the hospital staff to purchase more equipment has been hindered by an internal power struggle within the municipal government. Minami-Soma Mayor Katsunobu Sakurai's call for buying additional machines has met opposition from city office workers who harbor antipathy toward the mayor.

The Fukushima prefectural government is not helping the hospital, either. Even though a large budget has been allocated by the central government to the prefecture to cope with radiation issues, no funds have gone to the Minami-Soma Municipal Hospital for purchasing the WBC devices. This has forced the municipal government to bear the entire cost of examining the children exposed to cesium-137. As it examines more children, it incurs greater costs.

Not only citizens of Minami-Soma but also those from other municipalities in Fukushima Prefecture have expressed a desire to be examined by the WBC machines. In reality, though, only a small number of them have had the chance.

As the prefectural government continues to drag its feet, several municipalities like Fukushima City, Iwaki City and Hirata Village, as well as some private medical institutions, have decided that they can no longer wait and are working to purchase the devices on their own.

The Story from Japan Times, translation of an article from the February issue of Sentaku, a monthly magazine covering Japanese political, social and economic scenes. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/eo20120214a1.html

Back in June 2011 we could read the following about the hospital situation in the area.

Minami-Soma has four general hospitals, with a total of 792 beds, within the designated zones.

Under the restrictions, two of them are allowed to have up to five inpatients at a time, subject to additional conditions, and the other two are not allowed to accept inpatients.

Minami-Soma Municipal General Hospital, located in the city's Haramachi district, has 230 beds and is the only one of the four institutions that provides services during the daytime, at night and on holidays.

In May, a total of 44 people with acute health problems were taken to the municipal hospital.

After negotiations with the prefectural government, the municipal hospital was allowed to accommodate up to five inpatients with brain conditions at any one time.

Ten inpatients being treated for other ailments had to be transferred to other hospitals outside the designated zones.

A man who was taken to the hospital one night in May suffering intestinal obstruction was given treatment, but then transferred to a hospital outside the designated zones the next morning.

According to the Soma district fire department headquarters, 110 patients with acute conditions received emergency care in the city's designated zones in May, up from 85 in April.

The restrictions have angered many hospital operators in Minami-Soma.

"It's normal that a certain number of people will suffer from sudden illnesses. Imposing a limit on patient admissions runs counter to reality," Yukio Kanazawa, 57, director of the municipal hospital, said.

Shortly after the start of the nuclear crisis on March 11, the government advised all residents in Minami-Soma to stay inside their homes, and the city's population subsequently fell from 70,000 to about 10,000. Later, it rebounded to about half its pre-earthquake level at one time.

After the "stay-indoors" designation was made, all inpatients at the four general hospitals were evacuated to other locations. However, many residents who stayed in the city have required emergency hospitalization.

Omachi Hospital in the city, which has 188 beds, was in early April given permission by the prefectural government to use five beds for emergency inpatient care, with individual patients allowed to be hospitalized for up to 72 hours.

But at one point since then, Omachi Hospital had more than 20 inpatients. As of Monday, there were 16 inpatients at the hospital.

"We've had to discharge inpatients after quickly treating them, even though they had not yet completed their recovery. Even now, it's impossible to limit the number of our inpatients to five or less," said Yoshimitsu Inomata, 66, director of the hospital.

"If we stuck to that rule, lives that could be saved would be lost," he said.

About 200 staff, including 12 doctors, were working at Omachi Hospital before the March 11 earthquake. Due to the financial impact of the government-set limit on inpatient numbers, the hospital has had to reduce its staff to about 70, with nine doctors.

Many of the hospital's employees have had to quit or take temporary leave because of the facility's financial difficulties. The hospital depends on services related to in-hospital treatment for about 70 percent of its income.

Doctors at Omachi Hospital have had to take a 70 percent pay cut since May. Other staff have taken pay cuts of 30 percent to 70 percent. The hospital said if the current inpatient restrictions remain in place, it will have to continue cutting pay packets.

"We're still here working, hoping to continue providing medical services to the community. But the lives of our staff members are in danger of falling apart," said Tamayo Fujiwara, director of the hospital's nursing services department.

Many of the hospital's nurses who were forced to take temporary leave told Inomata they had decided to look for work at other medical institutions.

"It'll be difficult to find new staff to replace the staff who leave. I want the restrictions lifted as soon as possible," Inomata said.

The other two general hospitals, Onoda Hospital and Watanabe Hospital, are not permitted to accept any inpatients under the restrictions.

On June 9, the four general hospitals urged the prefectural government to relax the restrictions, saying they were now capable of handling more inpatients because some staff who temporarily evacuated had returned to work.

Fukushima Radiation Sickness Symptoms Part3

I feel the need to do another update about Japan's radiation sickness symptom situation. It seems like I'm the only one who took notice of Japan's ageing Emperor Akihito who was admitted to the University of Tokyo Hospital earlier today.

Akihito was admitted to the University of Tokyo Hospital in the morning on Saturday and had an hour-long scan of his coronary arteries. After increasing worries about his health Akihito underwent a heart examination after showing symptoms of restricted blood flow to his heart. He was scheduled to stay at the hospital overnight for observation. He also had an angiogram last year at the same hospital, which found his arteries were narrowing and he was put on medication. In November, the emperor spent 19 days in hospital suffering mild pneumonia.

I have talked about Emperor Akihito before having heart problems after the Fukushima disaster.
☢ Fukushima Radiation Sickness Symptoms Public Inability To Fight Illness Part1 ☢

Akihito who is now 78 years old made a rare public televised address and in April traveled to the disaster-struck area five days after the devastating earthquake and tsunami struck Japan's northeast.

Now some of you who's not been following developments and know what some of the leading causes of deaths / health problems from radiation are might ask, what does heart problems got to do with radiation?

Well it just so happens that after the Chernobyl disaster many children got problems with their hearts because Cesium builds up in muscles over time, and what is that one important muscle that needs to keep working and beating.. That's right the heart. Many children in the Chernobyl area sufferer from a previously unknown cardiac degradation condition and it's known in the area as "Chernobyl heart"

There is even a documentary called Chernobyl Heart from 2003 and if you have not watched it before, please do, it will give you a better understanding of the Chernobyl disaster and what radiation does to us. So far I know that at least two Fukushima school children have died from sudden heart attacks.

Paul Langley's Nuclear History Blog What was known and when.
The Radiation Mimetic Chemicals and Atomic Radiation

In March 2011 Japan suffered the destruction of many industrial sites. This included the destruction of the integrity of industrial waste sites and production facilities which housed petrochemical, agricultural, electronics and other industries. Industries which produce and use a vast array of chemical substances. A number of these are radiomimetic. I will provide a probable list later. First, what has been known about the effects of these chemicals since the time of the Nuclear tests in Australia?

The substances and the radiations are thus easily seen to be what they: double edged swords. They can mitigate against that which they can also cause. Woe betide anyone who administers such a harmful set of agents to a healthy population. A group who stands no chance to benefit from what is not medicine but a radiochemical assault. They might as well be firing mustard gas shells into Fukushima Prefecture. Quite literally. They would have run out shells after 3 months though. The reactors are still venting radionuclides and there was a spike in emissions in January 2012. I bet that every special weapons unit of every army of every nation is watching with interest to see what happens in Japan. It is an experiment without informed consent. There is social pressure to confirm. That is not informed consent.

Of the “experts” who urge me to become “modern”, none can answer the question as to why it is that Strontium 89 alone is permitted in ANY amount is permitted to be released into populated areas in Japan and anywhere else when in fact it is itself a cancer treatment rendered in the injectable salt. (Sr89 Cl, GE Metastron.) The FDA approval for use of this substance is strictly permitted only on the proviso that the people to whom it is administered are suffering end stage metastatic bone cancer and who are in need of powerful pain relief. It is plainly against the law to administer the substance to healthy people. The law would be the same in any civlised country.

Former Chief Masao Yoshida Has Cancer Fukushima

Yes it's been confirmed ,what we all have suspected for so long now. Former head of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant No. 1 Masao Yoshida, that retired from an unknown illness about a month ago have esophageal cancer. TEPCO said Friday (Dec 9, 2011).

Masao Yoshida have kept his illness hidden from the public for personal reasons. But because TEPCO plant workers along with people from rest of the world have made speculations as to what is wrong with his health Yoshida made the decision to step forward. Yoshida visited the Fukushima No. 1 plant Friday and talked about his illness with workers. He did not want speculation about his health to affect the morale of the TEPCO plant workers and their families.

The total amount of radiation Yoshida, 56, was exposed to since the nuclear crisis started in March was 70 millisieverts. It is unlikely his cancer is linked to the radioactive materials spewed by the plant's crippled reactors. Although no signs of esophageal cancer were found during Yoshida's regular checkup in autumn 2010.

Tepco noted that Makoto Akashi, executive director of the National Institute of Radiological Science, estimates that the incubation period of esophageal cancer is around five to 10 years.

Yoshihisa Matsumoto, an associate professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology's Research Laboratory for Nuclear Reactors, told The Japan Times he also believes the link between Yoshida's cancer and the nuclear disaster is highly improbable, given the amount of radiation he was exposed to and the short incubation period since the crisis started. Matsumoto said no deterministic effects from 70 millisieverts or less have been found.

Tepco said Yoshida does not wish to disclose further details about his illness, such as how bad the cancer is, where he is hospitalized and what treatment he is currently receiving. Yoshida worked in the Fukushima plant since June 2010. He left his post Nov. 14 on health grounds.

Now even if it's "improbable" that this type of cancer should show up all of a sudden, there is still the fact that Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant have 3 full nuclear meltdowns with another 3 reactor units that have problems. Problems that are not known. They can't even seem to find the reactor cores anymore because they have eroded their ways down into the earth.

Is it really that far fetched that being close to the biggest nuclear disaster that have ever happened on this planet in it's whole history could have helped "speed up" or directly caused cancer in him.

And don't get me started on that journalist that died after he was camping and eating fish around Fukushima recently. Not to forget the TV host that ate Fukushima food and got cancer and well the list goes on..

MP3 Fukushima Report - Jeff Rense and Yoichi Shimatsu

Jeff Rense is back with Yoichi Shimatsu and talking about the signs of radiation sickness showing up now and how he himself have seen this same thing before from with radiation exposures. The childrens in Fukushima are not growing much anymore, they have stopped growing and don't gain much weight. Signs of fatigue in general, a lot of people are dieing in Japan now.


Download MP3: Jeff Rense - 10-07-11 - HR3 - Yoichi Shimatsu - Fukushima Report

This MP3 can also be downloaded from rense.com. There you will also find in the center column more reports and stories related to the Fukushima Disaster.


I have transcribed the first minutes of the radio show for you. Some words I couldn't really make out, like what the name of the imperial palace the Japanese Emperor was staying at, however I'm sure you can understand what is said from the audio.

Jeff Rense: Ok here we go again an half an hour with Yoichi Shimatsu who is based Hong Kong, he is an environmental reporter of superb international recognition and honor since before Chernobyl he has been at it a long, has been to Japan several times since the catastrophe trying to help farmers in the area of Fukushima prefecture and other areas to learn, to try and deal with the horrible reality of what’s going on there. Hi Yoichi how are you?

Yoichi Shimatsu: Well as good as can be, considering the situation, my uncle just died in Japan..

Jeff Rense: I am sorry.

Yoichi Shimatsu: And family wont tell me what’s going on you know, why he died. So there is a whole stew of cervatillo going on in fact that whole generation. They are pretty advanced in age, you know have a lot of X-rays and things like that, so a lot of exposure to radiation more than any other generation in Japanese history so a lot of people are dieing of now. And it’s very strange that it’s all happening at this time less than a year after Fukushima.

Jeff Rense: Well the emperor himself is in the hospital he was visiting..

Yoichi Shimatsu: Yeah he’s been down in Kyoto for a long time, down at the imperial palace, so you know it’s not like he’s right there in the front line, he has visited Fukushima, he was in Tokyo the early couple of months. So we are talking about not constant exposure, we are talking just a few months of exposure seems to be enough to.. And exactly the symptoms he’s shown this chronic fatigue is really a sign of you know, DNA damage I think, this is one of the earlier signs, this product fatigue..

Jeff Rense: Right there is some real.. Stories that are pregnant with implications here, Fukushima kids are not growing normally anymore, they are not gaining weight they are not growing in size as they should be. You saw the story about the Japan news man who was laughing eating healthy Fukushima produce every day, well he’s got Leukemia now and is getting ready for chemotherapy all of a sudden and they say the kind of Leukemia he has he should not be getting at his age, it’s very rare so you have that, Tokyo of course..

Yoichi Shimatsu: Yeah right the symptoms that he’s showing is the first tell tail signs, the red lump in the neck. I have seen this in Amsterdam in the Netherlands following the crash of the Israeli EL AL jet which was carrying a lot of depleted Uranium and supposedly some Plutonium inside it also and the firemen there many of them came, the emergency workers came down, their exposure was relatively short you know we talk about a few days, and I seen it on the neck of the firemen, poor fellow passed away just a year after I saw him. So it’s a very tell tail sign that red lump sort of like the lower part of the neck where it meets the shoulder, you know this is, this news caster has that very same symptom so this is either Uranium or Plutonium poison we are not talking about the Isotope we are talking about full metallic matter as happened in Amsterdam which I saw.

Fukushima Radiation Sickness Symptoms Part1

These last days there have been so many reports about people showing radiation sickness symptoms being hospitalized because they are unable to fight common illnesses and also diagnosed with cancer that I decided to summarize what is going on. However I feel I need to split up the posts because it's just so much. So this is Part 1 and the news stories covered are from November 7 along with important information about the Fukushima situation.

First up is the FACT that the Fukushima children are not growing in weight, the average increase is down a whole 75% !!! 

Then about the Japanese Emperor due to be hospitalized on Sunday with a cold, fever and symptoms of bronchitis and the 9-year-old daughter of the crown prince and princess also hospitalized. Now there is nothing out of the ordinary with people getting sick once in a while, but with so many people displaying symptoms and forced to get hospitalized because of this it is important to put two and two together.

Children stopped growing in Fukushima
Posted by Mochizuki on November 7th, 2011 Story Original from Fukushima Diary

In Koriyama shi Fukushima, Dr Kikuchi Nobutaro surveyed the increase of the weight of the children.

They compared the increase of the weight of 245 of 4~5 years old children at 2 kindergartens in Koriyamachi.and they pointed out children grew up only 26% of last year. It can be said, children stopped growing up in Koriyama, Fukushima.

As the result,
7/2009 ~ 6/2010 → +3.1kg
7/2010 ~ 6/2011→ +0.81kg (only 26% of growth measured the previous year)


Another doctor gives a comment about this.

@GoodBye_Nuclear
Dr.Kikuchi states it may be because children can’t play outside, they lost muscles.
However, mothers testify their children don’t say they are hungry anymore. It’s very unusual. Some of the children have grown only by 500g through the year.

Smaller increase in children's weight in Fukushima
Monday, November 07, 2011 20:09 +0900 (JST) Story NHK World Japan

A survey shows that some children in Fukushima Prefecture have smaller average weight gains this year compared to the year before. A pediatrician says the results indicate the negative effects of the nuclear plant accident in March.

Doctor Shintaro Kikuchi tracked the weights of 245 children aged from 4 to 6 in 2 kindergartens in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture. The results show an average weight increase of 0.81 kilograms over the past year through June. The increase for children in the same age group the previous year was 3.1 kilograms.

The average increase for children aged 5 to 6 in the survey was 0.84 kilograms. But a nationwide health ministry survey conducted last year for children of the same age group showed an average gain of 1.8 kilograms.

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident has caused high levels of radioactivity in areas around the plant. Koriyama is located about 60 kilometers from the facility and many children in the city have been forced to play indoors to avoid contamination.

Kikuchi noted that the smaller weight increases could be related to reduced appetite resulting from less exercise as well as changes in the secretion of growth hormones due to stress. He said measures should be taken to restore normal hormone levels in the children.

Japanese emperor to be admitted to the hospital on bronchitis fears

TOKYO -- Japanese Emperor Akihito is due to be hospitalized on Sunday with a cold, fever and symptoms of bronchitis, Kyodo news agency reported, citing the Imperial Household Agency.

Akihito, who will turn 78 next month, will be admitted to the University of Tokyo Hospital as a precaution because the fever worsened the bronchitis symptoms and he appeared fatigued and has lost some resistance to fight his illness, Kyodo said.

It said Crown Prince Naruhito would temporarily take over the emperor's official duties.

Akihito, who ascended to the throne after the death of his father Hirohito in 1989, has spent much of the past two decades working to close the gap between the imperial family and ordinary Japanese people.

Five days after the devastating earthquake and tsunami struck Japan's northeast, Akihito made a rare public televised address and in April traveled to the disaster-struck area with Empress Michiko, 77.

Akihito had surgery for prostate cancer in 2003 and suffered stress-related health issues in late 2008, including irregular pulse and stomach bleeding. The following year, the royal agency said he would cut back on official duties such as speeches and meeting foreign dignitaries.

On Sunday, the emperor cancelled an engagement to attend a national assembly in Tokyo of Inclusion Japan, a civic organization advocating for the rights of people with learning difficulties, because of the fever.

Translated with Google:

Princess Akio Hospitalized

The eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Princess Aiko, which had been treated at Tokyo hospital for mild pneumonia, yesterday afternoon, was discharged.

Aiko high fever near 39 degrees on July 29 from pneumonia was suspected, the symptoms of coughing followed by mild fever and thereafter, April 1. Bunkyo-ku, After which she was admitted to Tokyo university hospital. Aiko was diagnosed with pneumonia caused by pathogens called mycoplasma after tests of blood and x-rays, the results were treated with such antibiotics, improved symptoms of coughing in that it almost disappeared in and around the infection. Three o'clock yesterday afternoon, Akio was discharged, Princess Masako has continued to stay with Akio from the date of admission. Aiko's symptoms of cough is seen to remain a few weeks.

Why is this of concern you might ask, well you see it turns out that during her summer vacation she went to cheer up the victims after the devastating tsunami and spent some 7 weeks in the affected area. They ate the Fukushima food and even brought some home.

The daughter of the crown prince and princess spent her summer vacation in Nasu. The Kan administration sent the emperor and empress in April and May to cheer up the quake/tsunami victims in Chiba, Ibaraki, Miyagi, Fukushima, Iwate, 7 weeks in a row. They ate food in Fukushima, and bring some home for their sons' families.

63-year-old TV host has been diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia

In his morning program on Fuji TV he's been promoting Fukushima produce by eating them in the show. He also happened to be in Fukushima in March 15. Just a coincidence. Never mind that ALL is predominant in small children, and an adult case is one in 100,000 annually in Japan.

Fuji TV had been unwell for a rest "TV alarm" (5.25 last Friday - Monday) main wheels, Norikazu Mr. Otsuka (63) were diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia."Blood cancer", but this disease is also called, has recently advanced treatment, the experts, "it's not too afraid," he said. 7, Mr. Otsuka appeared on the show as phone is showing a healthy state, confessed to himself with a tone of light condition.

Otsuka's June 28, when touched on the neck, accidentally discovered a lump. Result of receiving a thorough examination in a hospital in Tokyo, turned out to be one with acute lymphoblastic leukemia blood cancer, was admitted to a hospital emergency in Tokyo.

The rest were from two days, seven days' TV Alarm "appeared on the phone, first thing one says" Good morning! "Called on the audience and always much the same voice.

Casually touching the neck, "it?" I am uncomfortable with Mr. Otsuka, "Upon receiving the inspection it was mind was quickly admitted," reminisces.

For future treatment "has a central venous catheter into the side of the neck, (now) to enter into a lot of anti-cancer drug chemotherapy there. Informed consent (discussion of treatment plan), the" pretty tough situation could be "is said to be."Also Thursday, a bone marrow already collected.

Physical condition is very healthy without symptoms. The gap, "sometimes a little depressed," and was anxious to change the body's mouth due to chemotherapy.

Continuing treatment remains the "return of spring," says Otsuka goal listed. We will report the status of their recovery through future programs. "In previous programs, this disease has been told many. Tsumabiraka be said to be his, everyone (audience =) I think it's helpful," and "soul caster" showed.

For acute lymphocytic leukemia, Kamata, professor emeritus of medicine specializing in Hiroshima leukemia seven men is "not the cause of the disease and it is no surprise to anyone not develop," he said.

"There will be no sudden onset of symptoms in a healthy adult men, aged 50 and over are careful. There is no particular prevention, effective treatment is established, we have greatly improved cure rate . You worry too much, there is no need to despair or "(Mr. Kamata)

Kanji is the key to early detection, Kamada said, "as Mr. Otsuka nape, you remember the incongruity of such a lump in the lymph nodes around the base of the inner thigh or armpit should receive blood tests hesitation," he said.

General acute lymphoblastic leukemia [] "blood cancer" is said to be one of the leukemia. The immature stage malignant lymphocytes, a type of leukemia, primarily in the bone marrow increased abnormally, a rapidly progressive disease. Many children and adults one-year incidence is 1 in 100,000 people. Most common cause of onset is unknown, it is not clear prophylaxis. Resistance to eliminate the virus in leukopenia, fever and pneumonia, and septicemia causes. In addition, symptoms may appear such as headache and nausea.

This concludes Part 1 next we will talk about the rumor about the dead TEPCO workers and how workers often keel over after which they are removed by ambulance.. Some return to work.. Clearing radioactive rubble, however media don't talk about this and where are the dead bodies hidden? Stay tuned for more.

Eye Problems - His Child Got Nosebleeds

This interview would not have been made possible to share if it were not for Fukushima Diarys translation of parts of the interview due to it only being in Japanese.

The video is only in Japanese so it's hard for us to understand what is said. If you still want to watch the video I noticed that it starts at 1:30 min in. Before that we only get to see the Independet Web Journal logo. Don't ask why they feel the need for have us stare at it for so long.

The things that are also said about the deaths of workers and police not being reported to the public and rest to of the world are also disturbing to hear. Some workers are also forced to work there even when their radiation detection meters show 1-2 Sv/h. Might be that they do it for extra money though, still a lot of deaths are not being reported.


The original video have now been taken down so we only have a part of the video to show you from Youtube.


Anyhow this this is parts of what's said and you can of course also find this same text at Fukushima Diary.
I highlighted parts of the text I feel is extra important for you.

A raged Fukushima citizen confessed everything at the interview with a journalist Iwakami Yasumi.

This guy, Mr.Sakuma is in Kawamata machi, where is east to Fukushima plant by 22km.

Even before 311, he had been having a problem in his eyes.

His doctor said he has a tumor in tear gland. He was having medical treatment but after the explosions, it went so bad that he couldn’t even close his eyes.

Having his 3 years old child have nosebleed, he decided to evacuate to Hachijo jima.

His family totally believes what the TV says so he was criticized hard but since he evacuated to Hachijojima, his eyes became better.

He runs motorcycle shop. He has 30,000,000 JPY load from banks so he had to come back to Fukushima.

He is aware of the health risk to live in Fukushima, but for the financial reasons, he must struggle being exposed.

His eyes get worse soon as he comes back to Fukushima. However, his doctors at Fukushima university asserts it has nothing to do with radiation.

Interview overview

1) 21 years old Fukushima worker died of cardiac infarct. It is not reported and police didn’t even do autopsy. He died when he was at home, and he was working at Fukushima plant since March to July.

2) Though everyone pays attention to reactor 1 to 4, actually reactor 5 and 6 are in crisis. Engineers from Hitachi are coming to the area to get it settled down but it’s concealed. It’s likely that they are going critical so Iodine 131 are measured in Tokyo or Iwate.

3) In the “worst” contaminated area,where is about 1 Sv/h or so, “unlisted” workers are forced to work. They are hunted in the downtown in Osaka, treated as disposable workers.

One of his friends had to go into reactor 3. When the person saw the area, it was full of debris and the counter showed about 1~2 Sv/h but then next morning, the area was perfectly clean. Because it needs sensitive work, it must have been done by humans.

They say, those disposable workers were forced to work in those situations, held captive until they die, and then marked as “missing”.

4) Police that guard within the 20km area border are not informed of the radiation level. (about 100 microSv/h when Mr Sakuma and his friend visited) and a lot of police are dead but it never be reported either.

5) He longs for the truth, so everything can give up living in Fukushima at least. Even if it’s revealed in 50 years from now, it’s too late.

6) Some of the radiation monitoring posts are taken away.

7) Local government requires citizens to report “lower” number of what the counter shows, so their radiation map shows lower than actual.

Radiation Detectors Find Tokyo Hot Spots - High Levels

October 16, 2011
Steve Herman | Tokyo

Boys playing baseball adjacent to shrubbery where a high level of radioactive cesium has been detected, Edogawa, Japan, October 15, 2011.

Residents in the greater Tokyo metropolitan area, the world's most populous with about 33 million people, have taken radiation monitoring into their own hands. They are making some unexpected discoveries following the March tsunami damage to the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant.

Uninformed parents

Just meters from where a hot spot of radioactive cesium was confirmed days before by a private laboratory, a Little League baseball game was underway Sunday.

The players, their parents and the spectators, mostly neighborhood residents, unaware that some of the dirt here has tested equivalent to four times the minimum level of the contaminated zones from the 1986 Chernobyl accident in Ukraine.

While the news about the Edogawa municipal ballpark complex had been reported overseas, including on the front page of Saturday's New York Times, it had yet to be mentioned in Japan's mainstream media.

Between two of the ball fields, the Odaka family was walking in a small park with their four year-old daughter.

Odaka (who wanted to be identified only by his family name) says he and his wife had not heard anything about the radiation here, nearly 250 kilometers from the reactors that leaked radiation in the days after a huge earthquake and tsunami hit Japan's northeastern Pacific coast on March 11.

He says he would like to know more about the source of the information relayed to him by VOA News. He says the government should evaluate this information and properly inform the public.

If the area is radioactive, then the government, he adds, should decontaminate the area.

Concerns

Two mothers watching their elementary school age boys playing in a league baseball game, also expressed surprise when asked by VOA News about the adjacent contaminated soil.

The women agree that they have heard numerous general reports about radiation since the March disaster, but felt they could not be overly concerned or they would not be able to go on with their daily lives.

But this is the first time they have heard about a high level of radiation in their own neighborhood. In the nearby city of Yokohama, higher than normal levels of radioactive strontium have been found at three locations.

The suspect materials were analyzed by a private company in Yokohama that charges entities to analyze soil, sediment and food samples for various types of radiation. The Isotope Research Institute is reported to have analyzed thousands of samples sent by citizens, ranging from swimming pool water to breast milk, in the past seven months.

Hot spots

Another hot spot has been uncovered in a children's theme park in Chiba Prefecture, which is adjacent to Tokyo. The reported level of radiation there is higher than in an evacuated village in Fukushima, 45 kilometers from the crippled plant.

Citizen monitoring last week also detected abnormal levels of airborne radiation on a sidewalk on the path to a primary school in an upscale Tokyo neighborhood (in Setagaya ward). That case, however, appears not related to the Fukushima nuclear plant.

Government officials say the radiation source was found under the floor of a nearby house, old bottles containing radium powder. Radium was previously used as a luminous paint to make watch and clock faces glow in the dark.

The incidents have prompted Japan's government to order the science and environment ministries to boost monitoring of radiation levels.

But local and central government officials say the isolated hot spots outside Fukushima are not a cause for alarm because no one spends such an extended period of time at such spots to absorb doses that would harm their health.

They also are expressing skepticism about some of the highest reported readings from citizens, saying they could be erroneous as uncalibrated small dosimeters can be very inaccurate.

Radiation in sea life off the Fukushima coast and its effects on the food chain also remain a concern. Researchers at the Tokyo University of Marine Sciences and Technology say samples of plankton collected in July exhibited high levels of radioactive cesium. Many fish feed on plankton.

But the scientists say it is too soon to conclude a serious risk to humans. Some species of fish caught off Japan's Pacific Coast since the reactor meltdowns have also been found to be contaminated and Japanese authorities moved to halt those fish from being sold.

Geiger Counters - Radiation Detection Meters - Handheld Radiation Detector



When it comes to radiation detection meters you really have a wide field of gadgets to choose from, however radiation detectors are the most common to use. First of all if you need to know what type of radiation you are looking for. There are Alpha, Beta and Gamma radiation detectors. And also there is neutron emission of nuclear radiation. And all these different types of emissions have radiation detectors for a specific type of radiation that you can buy radiation detector for. Some also measure both Alpha and Beta. Others detect Alpha, Beta and Gamma. While others let you measure Beta and Gamma radiation.



What most people have use for though are Dosimeters you can buy a handheld radiation detector pretty cheap that are good addition to a survival kit. There are different kinds that you can use that will detect radiation. There are radiation badges that will tell you when radiation become high. Workers at nuclear power plants use these to inform them of how much radiation they have been exposed to. Now also children in the Fukushima prefecture have each been given a radiation badge so they know if they are exposed to radiation. Some come in the shape of a pen that you can carry in your pocket while other are made more compact so that you can attach them to your keychain. And then you have what is called a personal radiation monitor. These are also called Dosimeters and also normally called Geiger counters. Although not all use the Geiger-Muller Tube for the radiation detection some use a semiconductor instead. These and mostly the older geiger counters seen are pretty big to carry around, so they might not be best suited for a survival situation where you only need to carry the most important things. However if you have land and want to check radiation around the property and drinking water then these are the geiger counters to get because they are very well built units.

These are the once that you normally see people use. They have different units of radiation detection, because when it comes to radiation there are many standards used. some give the measurements in Rads, while other use Sieverts. Some have the maximum radiation value for the measured radioactivity quite low but they will still give you an idea of the amount of radiation in the area. With the units ranging from between background radiation 0.001 mSv/hr all the way up to 10 Sv/h. Normally a dosimeter will measure radiation in micro siverts per hour. If you were to walk into one of the reactor units at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant you probably would get an error reading from your dosimeter because the radiation levels are so high there.

Note that some places outside the exclusion zone in Fukushima that are too radioactive for people to live in have areas where the radiation levels are above 30 Sv/h. So if you are in a area that have high radiation the radiation detectors would also there go off the scale. However Geiger counters or radiation detectors are still favored as general purpose alpha/beta/gamma portable radiation detectors and radiation detection equipment, due to their low cost and robustness. Most come with an LCD Display that show you the radioactivity in the area. Nowdays you will even get alarm sound and the possibility to connect the device to a computer. Either with a Infrared, Bluetooth or USB connection.

So if you look at the radiation detectors for sale that have this, then these radiation detection meters will allow you to make maps of contaminated areas that show where the radiation is high and low. This also will help you to see which areas are becoming more contaminated over time. With several nuclear reactors in the US and around the world located near fault zones that makes it a danger if a big earthquake would hit the area there is always a good choice to have a radiation dosimeter avaliable. I'm sure many in Fukushima would have been grateful to have dosimeters avaliable at the time of the disaster and I am sure you to would be grateful to have a geiger counter handy when you need one.
