update of 12/21/13
Highly radioactive water seeping into the ocean from Japan’s crippled Fukushima nuclear plant is creating an “emergency” that the operator is struggling to contain, an official from the country’s nuclear watchdog said on Monday. This contaminated groundwater has breached an underground barrier, is rising toward the surface and is exceeding legal limits of radioactive discharge, Shinji Kinjo, head of a Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA) task force, told Reuters. Countermeasures planned by Tokyo Electric Power Co. are only a temporary solution, he said. Tepco’s “sense of crisis is weak, Tepco’s “sense of crisis is weak,” Kinjo said. “This is why you can’t just leave it up to Tepco alone to grapple with the ongoing disaster. Right now, we have an emergency,” he said. Tepco has been widely castigated for its failure to prepare for the massive 2011 tsunami and earthquake that devastated its Fukushima plant and lambasted for its inept response to the reactor meltdowns. It has also been accused of covering up shortcomings. It was not immediately clear how much of a threat the contaminated groundwater could pose. In the early weeks of the disaster, the Japanese government allowed Tepco to dump tens of thousands of tonnes of contaminated water into the Pacific in an emergency move. The toxic water release was however heavily criticized by neighboring countries as well as local fishermen and neighboring countries as well and the utility has since promised it would not dump irradiated water without the consent of local townships.

My mom died of pancreatic cancer in January 2012. I give responsibility to FUKUSHIMA.
My question at this point is Do you know of any infant or elderly deaths in the year following FUKUSHIMA MELTSOWNS ❓

Guys- Let me weigh in on this a bit. First off, I’m a college student studying nuclear engineering, and over the last three years, I’ve been working in a lab with extremely sensitive radiation detectors. My job has been building, maintaining and improving these rigs. Further, I have my own collection of Geiger counters, scintillators and neutron detectors which I frequently use for my own projects. If you notice, I’m also located in the Pacific Northwest, which people are claiming is being “fried with radiation.” After Fukushima occurred, I almost immediately started snooping around with whatever equipment I could. I found nothing. No elevated radioactivity in rainwater, nothing interesting in food (I looked for Japanese produce at the local Asian market), nothing elevated in dust (swabbed cars and sidewalks) and nothing in seawater. Mind you, the scintillators I use can detect the natural radioactivity of a banana, so it’s not a question of equipment problems. The only way I saw ANY activity was by taking a water sample (from about a month later) and sending it to a lab where it had to be shielded by quite literally tons of lead to filter out background. While I don’t recall the numbers off the top of my head, its Cs-134/137 activity (Cs and Sr isotopes are the main emissions from any reactor meltdown) was tiny. It was in fact smaller than the natural background due to Potassium-40. Since then, I’ve continued making measurements and snooping about, and the story has not changed. While there is measurable radiation on the US west coast, it’s far drowned out by the natural radioactivity of earth itself.
While Fukushima is a clusterfuck, the total possible release of radiation at the reactors is simply not big enough to cause the kinds of effects ENE is claiming. The reactor design is not secret, and it’s well known how much fuel and spent fuel was at the complex. The total radioactivity present there is not large enough to expose people on the west coast to the levels needed to see immediate (or even long term) mortality increases, which ENE is claiming they have seen. In Japan, this may be a different story, but even the bioassays and dosimeter checks that private labs have done show that the population received a pretty minimal dose outside of those very nearby the reactor complex. Further subtracting from ENE’s claim, their mortality results don’t match epidemiological trends gathered from the populations exposed at Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Chernobyl. That data shows that even in relatively highly exposed groups (>~200cGy), the death rate doesn’t climb until ~10 years post exposure. Even then, it’s due primarily to thyroid cancers, leukemia and lymphoma. Even if the increased death rate that they claim is true, it’s happening at the wrong time to be due to the meltdown.
Further, I am no fan of ENE news, as I have personal experience with their lack of credibility. A research group I was involved in was directly targeted by one of their articles, insinuating that the head researcher was endangering students due to the fact the research was nuclear-related. I can link the article if you’d really like, but it’s utterly nauseating. A big part of the reason I even have the means to attend college is due to awards from that work.
While I don’t disagree that TEPCO are a bunch of lying fucks (their response was pitiful), the radiation release from Fukushima is not causing mass deaths in the US or Japan, and this fact is easily provable. Also, fuck ENE.
