Something fishy at Fukushima


   ". . . 40% of children have thyroid abnormalities which is exceedingly rare . . . are showing symptoms and signs . . . showing that they had received a higher dose . . . than children at Chernobyl . . . and . . . children in school and in kindergarten are being fed radioactive food . . . mushrooms, spinach, rice, tea, fish . . . they say it will take 40 years to clean it up but the truth is they will never clean it up . .  . cesium137 lasts for 300 years" - Dr Helen Caldicott


Germany's ZDF TV* channel reports today on YouTube that 18months after the meltdowns at Fukushima 42% of 57,000 Fukushima children tested have been found to have thyroid problems.

The ZDF report also reveals that the official radiation measuring stations situated in public spaces throughout the area where these children live and go to school are currently giving radiation readings 5 times lower than readings obtained at the same locations by independent researchers.

At a recent meeting of experts when the shocking figures were released not one expert present in the room was moved to say or ask what the cause of the problem might be.

When a senior official was questioned by the ZDF reporter the official theorized that the children had consumed contaminated fish or iodine.

42% of 57,000 = 23,940.

Poor kids.

Meanwhile, still in Japan, a wild boar with 33,000 bq/kg of cesium in its body has turned up. This is a record amount of radiation for an animal.

  2. Some short sighted leaders in the world I'm afraid. They just leave it to the grandchildren to clean up the mess the best they can.
