There is no threshold for ionizing radiation's impact on health. Even the smallest excess of radiation over natural background will affect the health of exposed individuals and their descendants. The "safe-to-eat" limits set by the U.S. and Japanese governments are meaningless. There is no safe level of radiation. Why are we told over and over that low levels of radiation pose no health hazard? Cecily Mills, PhD microbiology, Edmonton ~ Well.. she should know. ~ |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1507763 Depends on what you are comparing... More cesium released from fuku and, nobody ever mentions this, but.. the Fiasco at Fuku is ongoing.. as well as the ocean contamination, the burning of radioactive debris and the dumping of sludge into the bay. ~ Its already annoying enough dealing with you schizophrenic fear mongers. There is a reason why this site is cobsidered the least credible site on the planet and people like you are the reason why... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1421566 Fukushima is no worse than Chernobyl. End of story. If you want to share links from enenews and other one agenda websites go ahead. Just don't forget to donate ;) I don't suppose you'd like to change your stance...? Thread: Tepco estimates total cesium-137 release from Fukushima at 360,000 terabecquerels — 4 times higher than Chernobyl’s 85,000 terabecquerels ~ The total Release of Chernobyl is above 5,2 Mio. Tera-Bq, even with the new Numbers F'Shima is still only 1/6! PS: after watching the Deep Field in 3-D: we can give every Galaxy in the Universe how many Bq.? Don't cream in your jeans just yet. My post was merely to illustrate the upward revision of reported emissions at fuku and the cesium amounts.. which are way higher at fuku. Tepco wouldn't fudge the reports, now would they? Fuku is not over. derp. ~ [link to www.bloomberg.com] [snip] The Fukushima Dai-Ichi plant may have emitted about 900,000 terabecquerels of the iodine equivalent of radioactive iodine 131 and cesium 137 into the air at the height of the disaster, the utility known as Tepco said today in a statement. The amount is about 2 times more than the 480,000 terabecquerels estimated in February by the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency or NISA, the utility said. The total radiation release at the Chernobyl accident was estimated to be about 5.2 million terabecquerels. Several domestic and international studies have argued estimates by Japan’s nuclear regulator were too low on the radiation release from the Fukushima Dai-Ichi plant, which had three reactor core meltdowns after it was hit by an earthquake and tsunami on March 11 last year. The estimate released today by Tepco on the atmospheric release covers a period between March 12 and 31 as the emissions after April are estimated to be less than 1 percent of the amount leaked in March, the utility said. ~ |

Myron Goldblatt User ID: 16674316 United States 06/24/2012 11:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Particulate radiation in the body causes cancer. An Alpha Radiation emitter in the body is 400 times more likely to cause cancer. You do not want to eat fish with any radioactive particulate in it if you can avoid it. Only eat the fish if you are starving to death. Nearly 1.5 Million people have died from radioactive particulate contamination that they have eaten in Europe after the Chernobyl meltdown. 1.5 Million, and that was after they designated lightly contaminated areas as exclusion zones throughout Europe. On the other hand Japan has left 90 percent of the contaminated areas open to the public. Based upon a cancer to particulate exposure ratio a conservative estimate of the number of people who will contract Cancer from the Particulate would be way over Ten Million Japanese. Since we do not know if there are any contaminated areas in Korea, China, Russia or the west coast of North America, we can not accurately estimate how many people outside of Japan will die from Cancer, but knowing that nothing was done in any other country, we can estimate that the death toll will approximate Japan for the rest of the world. That is a rough estimate of 20 million people on the planet who will die from Cancer because of Fukushima. Particulate radiation kills you if it gets inside your body. |
