Alert: the potential health consequences of the explosion

at the Fukushima reactor in Japan



Joint Press Statement from the Low Level Radiation Campaign

and the European Committee on Radiation Risk



The evidence is now overwhelming that there has been a significant explosion

accident at the Japanese Fukushima nuclear plant following the loss of coolant to the

reactor. The reactor is of the Boiling Water type, which is the same type as the

Chernobyl reactor. The detection of high levels of radioactivity and of Caesium-137

near the plant makes it clear that fission radionuclides are being released to the

atmosphere.



The quantity of radioactivity, which has been or will be released is not yet

known. However it should be appreciated as a matter of extreme urgency that the

health consequences of exposure to this type of radiation is extremely serious and that

the level of exposure cannot be accurately assessed by making radiation

measurements based on absorbed dose. The authorities are already, and will continue

to, downplay the potential risks on the basis of a false radiation risk model, that of the

International Commission on Radiological Protection. This is an exact replication of

the responses to the similar Chernobyl explosion and is driven by the bias in these

agencies and authorities towards nuclear energy. The radionuclides released in the

Chernobyl accident are the same radionuclides being released from the Fukushima

plant. The effects of the Chernobyl accident radioactivity releases have been seen to

be devastating and continue to affect the health of the exposed populations as far

away from Chernobyl as Europe and the USA. The reason that Geiger absorbed dose

type of readings (milliSieverts) cannot be employed as measures of risk is that these

kinds of radioactive substances act from within the body or by binding to DNA, thus

the dose to the local tissue or DNA can be enormous whilst the average dose recorded

by the Geiger counter may be quite low or even barely detectable.



If significant amounts of radioactivity from the Fukushima plume approach

populated centres in any country (e.g. the western USA) the advice from the

European Committee on Radiation Risk Action Team is as follows:



1. Do not believe the assurances of the radiation protection advisors working for the

government. They are false, biased and based on an obsolete model. This is a

potenbtial Chernobyl level event and must be seen as extremely serious.



2. Try to obtain if possible a Geiger Counter or similar radiation detector or readings

from someone who owns one. If the readings increase to more that twice the normal

background in your area or to a level of more than 300nSv/h (300nGy/h) then:



3. Get away as soon as possible to a clean area or if not possible stay indoors and keep

all the doors and windows closed for at as long as the radiation levels are higher than

normal. Try to keep the house sealed as far as possible.




4. Drink bottled water, use only tinned milk. Await further bulletins from

www.llrc.org and www.euradcom.org
