Fukushima update – 3 years and counting

Dr. Weeks’ Comment: It is hard to know what to believe and who to trust.  So we we read and consider the sources and try and tease out the message between the lines.

Call me old fashioned,  a devotee of the underdog, but my moral compass suggests that governments err on the side of protecting people and not corporations and that you and I, dear reader, take responsibility for our own health.

Dear Friends,

It’s hard to know how much of the bad news consists of new problems, and how much is long standing trouble just now being revealed.   In any case, the site itself is deteriorating- new leaks abound.  The area around Unit 4, where the precarious operation of removing spent fuel rods  from the damaged spent fuel pool, is so radioactive that lead plates have to be put on the ground to protect the workers.  Unit 3 also has a spent fuel pool; it is so damaged that Tepco hasn’t even addressed the problem of removing the rods.

Spread of radiation within Japan is being acknowledged more and more- one physician recommends removing all children from Tokyo.  Spread outside Japan is also worrisome- evidently the radioactive plume in the Pacific doesn’t disperse, but moves in a confined narrow band toward the West Coast of North America.

The third anniversary of the original disaster- 3/11/11- is coming up.  Sign the petitions above, and look for an event near you athttp://fukushimathirdanniversaryevents.blogspot.com/

Peace, Carol Wolman
