Video of TEPCO's Camera on Fukushima. 6am and Bright sunlight... is it really Live now?

I captured this video 10/28/13 of Tepco's camera that is suppose to be live at Fukushima.

I instantly noticed how bright it was and yet the clock on it said 6:04 AM.  I looked up the time of sunrise there and it shows the sunrise was at 6 AM in Japan.

Now.... if the sun was just rising... how could it be so bright there as if it is midday (in my opinion)?

Considering there was a 7.2 EQ and a Typhoon last week, could it be the video is not really live?

Here is the video and you form your own opinion.

Fukushima. The water has officially topped the barrier and freely flowing into the Pacific



TEPCO had said a few days ago that the radioactive water being held by a barrier could top that barrier within 3 weeks and once it did it would flow fast and freely into the Pacific Ocean.

Well, it didn't take 3 weeks but only 3 days for that to happen.

TEPCO announced that the water has now officially topped the barrier that was holding it back.  They have no idea what to do and there is no containing the toxic flow of radioactivity into the Pacific.
Contaminated groundwater accumulating under the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant has risen 60cm above the protective barrier, and is now freely leaking into the Pacific Ocean, the plant’s operator TEPCO has admitted.
The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), which is responsible for decommissioning the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, on Saturday said the protective barriers that were installed to prevent the flow of toxic water into the ocean are no longer coping with the groundwater levels.
The contaminated groundwater, which mixes with radioactive leaks seeping out of the plant, has already risen to 60cm above the barriers – the fact which TEPCO calls a major cause of the massive daily leak of toxic substances. 

This is so sad and this is not something that can just be cleaned up.  Our oceans are the Earth's life blood and ours too.  The oceans create oxygen for us.  

I will say over and over again!  SHUT DOWN EVERY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN THE WORLD!  IT IS THE MOST TOXIC AND UNCLEAN FORM OF ENERGY THERE IS!

Now all the ocean's marine life will die from radioactivity at some point.  Will we have 100 foot long whales and sharks?  

Why aren't we hearing from governments around the world calling for radioactive testing of seafood from the Pacific?  Why aren't we hearing governments calling for radioactive testing of products from Japan?

Oh, right...... they made agreements not to do that.  Hillary specifically signed an agreement with Japan not to test any food or products coming from there.  

I wonder..... if we sent Obama, Clinton, Biden, Holden and the rest of that gang some salmon and Blue fin Tuna from the shores of Japan if they would eat those gifts from us?  Or...would they have their food tested?

We really should all send seafood to those in D.C. and all of our elected officials and make them eat it.  

Our Earth is being killed and those at the top are the parasites who have made the Earth toxic through greed.  The truth is there has been real alternative energies known for decades by those at the top, but they have kept them away for money and power.  The oil and energy companies have not wanted people to have "free" energy.  This way they control all.  Now what have they done?  They have and are killing the Earth from Greed, pure and simple?

 I wonder if those who control it all are happy?  Does billions/Trillions make you happy?   Does the money make you happy? Does seeing the Earth die and the animals upon it die due your greed make you happy?  When the Earth dies and you can not eat any of the food from the ocean nor land, where will be your control, money and happiness?  

All my life, even when I was a kid I wondered how those at the top were "short sighted" and did not think about the future of the Earth and people when it came to hearing about different news and the "bottom line" at that moment.

TEPCO in Press Conference "Situation at Fukushima is Bleak" No idea how to stop it.



UPDPATE- 8/10/13 - The water has now gone over the barrier and is freely leaking into the Pacific ocean and they can not stop it.


TEPCO finally admitted today (Japan time) that the situation at Fukushima is bleak and they have no idea how to contain and stop what is happening there.


Japan's tsunami-crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant is facing yet another emergency as highly radioactive groundwater appears to have risen above an underground barrier meant to contain it.The head of the country's Nuclear Regulatory Authority task force Shinji Kinjo told Reuters on Monday that the leak was an emergency, but he was worried the plant's operator, TEPCO, had no sense of how to deal with it.He went on to say the highly radioactive groundwater is likely seeping into the sea.In a recent news conference, TEPCO General manager Masayuki Ono said the situation was bleak.

"We understand th
at this discharge is beyond our control and we do not think the current situation is good."

They had lied in the beginning about the situation and I believe they are only partly giving what the whole situation is.



Last week they admitted the Pacific was becoming radiated to a major extent:

Just last week, TEPCO estimated a cumulative 20 to 40 trillion becquerels of radioactive tritium may have leaked into the sea since the nuclear disaster some two-and-a-half years ago.

I have been watching the TEPCO camera  and can (you can right now too) see a glowing from Reactor 3 and I see smoke/fog coming from that area.

How can anyone still say Nuclear power is a "Clean" energy?  How can anyone say that it is a "Safe" energy?  Give me Coal!

What is interesting too is the Radiation Network site has dropped many monitors and in Japan there is only one that is active now.  In the U.S. monitors have been dropped all around the country, especially at Nuclear power facilities.   Check out the above link and you will see a lot less monitors now and go to Japan and you will see only one monitor on and that is all the way up North.

Why?  What are they hiding?



When I hear Gore, the UN and other elected officials calling for "Carbon taxes" to be put in place due to all the Earth killing carbon the "people" are releasing and blaming the world population for Earth's problems... I laugh.  It is NOT the people of the Earth that is making the world toxic, it is the governments and big business.  They have made our oceans toxic around the world, from the Gulf of Mexico with Corexit to Japan with radiation.   Our oceans are the life blood of our Earth and they are being killed.

The whole climate change problem is Bullshit too.... All they have to do is stop spraying the Earth with toxins via Chemtrails, stop HAARPING the Earth thus causing drought or more rain in certain areas.  In other words those in the government need to stop playing with mother nature and we wouldn't have the problems.  It is not the people causing the Earth's problems, it is those who want to control nature along with the people.

What can we do???

Literally it seems all we can do is Pray for the Earth and ask for a miracle at this point.

Fukushima Cooling for Reactors 1, 2 and 4 Power is off, Tepco, no idea why for over 1/2 a day now. 3/19/13

Plant after EQ 3/11/11


Update 3/19/13 1:00 PM est the Power is Still off and they don't know why. 

This is literally one of the craziest weeks.  I am beginning to believe what I have read now about how things would accumulate this week into one big mess in every way. 

TEPCO has released the fact the cooling systems for Fukushima are down for Reactors 1, 3 and 4.  They are injecting water in 1 and 3 but not 4.  They don't know why the power is off for the cooling systems though they got the power back on for the rest of the area.

It has been off since 6pm Japan time on Monday.  That means it has been off for more than 1/2 a day.

They are claiming that it would take 4 days for reactor 4 to reach the critical hot point of 65C, but we know how they lie.   They have admitted to lying about the explosions and that they hid the reactors had melted down immediately after the EQ over a year after it.

Those on the West Coast need to be aware of the situation.

Portions:

Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Monday a problem with electric power has occurred at its crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, leading to the suspension of the system to cool spent fuel pools of the Nos. 1, 3 and 4 units.
The power outage at the center was temporary and power to it was soon restored. But Tepco and the NRA were unable to specify immediately why power to the spent fuel pool cooling systems of the three units remains halted.
According to Tepco, the temperatures of the water inside the spent fuel pools of the Nos. 1, 3 and 4 units was between 13.7 C and 25 C at 4 p.m. Monday.
Tepco says that it would take four or five days until the water inside the spent fuel tank at the No. 4 reactor building exceeded 65 C, a temperature level that should not be exceeded.


Update - 3/19/13 - From what I have been able to figure out, the cooling systems are still out but are partially restored to 1,2,3.

Fukushima Reactor 6 has lost 7 tons of water. Reactor 4 water pipes burst from being frozen



Now, there is a problem at Reactor 6 it seems, though that one was suppose to be in very stable condition.

7 tons of water has leaked from the reactor.  They don't say where it leaked to in the article on NHK.

Besides the revelation 7 tons of water has leaked from Reactor 6.  TEPCO did not properly maintain the water pipes for the reactors for cold weather.  I am at a loss for words in how could they possibly not take care of the pipes.  TEPCO needs to be put out of business immediately!  If they can not take care of winterizing pipes and taking precautions for winter weather at a Nuclear Power plant that is already in melt down mode, what are they doing with all their other nuclear power plants in Japan?

You have to wonder if the "Three Stooges" are in charge of the plant.

There have been 14 leaks due to the pipes bursting from cold weather at Fukushima.  They are making things worse than what they already are, from their ineptness.

From NHK:

Tokyo Electric Power Company has found water leaks in 14 locations at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

The utility says the leaks apparently occurred after frozen water ruptured the pipes and the leaked water did not contain any radioactive materials.

Tokyo Electric said about 40 liters of water leaked from a cooling system for a spent fuel pool at the No.4 reactor on Sunday, but the flow stopped when workers closed the valve.

The company said the leak forced the system to stop for one hour and 40 minutes, but the pool's temperature did not rise.

Tokyo Electric said 7 tons of water had leaked from the No.6 reactor.

The temperature fell to minus 8 degrees Celsius on Sunday morning near the damaged plant.

Ruptured pipes caused 3 water leaks on the previous day.

Tokyo Electric official Junichi Matsumoto admitted that the utility failed to take sufficient steps to prevent frozen pipes. He said it will take quick action to protect the pipes from the cold weather.

Multiple Earthquakes at Fukushima. Video of quake and fire. Are they Explosions at nuclear plant?

I had been looking at the Japanese quake site this morning and noticed many Earthquakes at Fukushima today and yesterday.  There are more listed on the site linked above.  Notice the size of these quakes.

17:11 JST 24 Jan 201217:07 JST 24 Jan 2012Fukushima-ken Oki         M4.5
20:55 JST 23 Jan 201220:45 JST 23 Jan 2012Fukushima-ken Oki         M5.1
20:49 JST 23 Jan 201220:45 JST 23 Jan 2012Fukushima-ken Oki         M5.1
-20:23 JST 23 Jan 201220:18 JST 23 Jan 2012Fukushima-ken Oki       M4.5

Upon going to Fukushima Diary this morning they have very compelling information up about the 4.5 quake that happened yesterday and listed above.  Here is what they have up as the top story:

There is a lot of suspicion that earthquakes at Fukushima could be hydrovolcanic explosions or hydrogen explosions.
This afternoon again, an earthquake has hit the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant. Its magnitude was 4.5

Look at this video from the TEPCO webcam - at the 1:55 minute the 4.5 quake hit, notice how fast it was - more like a reaction from an explosion compared to a quake.   Then watch the base of the tower (right side of screen) at the 3:45 minute mark - see the fire start in two places.  A purple haze on one side and a definite flame on the left side of the base.   The purple haze gets bigger as the time goes by.   There is some type of flashing happening too around the 6 minute mark by reactor 3 at the bottom corner of it.  Fog is around the base (it is slight, but watch it carefully and you will see it).

***Note*** Watch very carefully at the right of the tower at the 1:28 mark in the bushes - you will see a flame start before the quake.   (Fukushima noted this - on their site and you can see the flame before the quake.  It is not at the base of the tower though - look to the right of the tower.




All pictures below are from the Fukushima Diary site linked above and from TEPCO webcam after the "4.5 quake".








Yesterday TEPCO announced radiation at 70 Million becquerels per hour was being released from Fukushima.

Monday, January 23, 2012

TEPCO has just announced - Radiation being emitted from Fukushima is 70 million becquerels per hour - It is increasing - Up 12 million from last month .

January 7 2012 Picture - Reactor 4 in fore ground - Reactor 3 (Mox Fuel) 2nd

UPDATE - 1/24/12 - Multiple Quakes at Fukushima and video showing Fire and Quake on 1/23/12

All the explosions (quakes) people have been feeling around Fukushima that are listed as earthquakes on the Japan sensors.  The fact that they could not find the fuel rods when they looked in Reactor 2, was obvious something big is going on at Fukushima.

Now TEPCO has announced 70 million becquerels per hour of radiation is being leaked into the air.

[Tepco] on Monday reported an increase in radioactive materials leaking from damaged nuclear reactors [...]
The total amount of radioactive cesium that leaked from the containment vessels of the No. 1 to No. 3 reactors reached 70 million becquerels per hour, up 12 million becquerels from the December level [...]
It seems that radioactive dusts were stirred up because plant workers went inside reactor buildings and removed rubble [...]
Last month, the leaked amount was put at 10 million becquerels each for the No. 1 and No. 2 reactors and 40 million becquerels for the No. 3 reactor.

You notice reactor 3 (Mox fuel) has been releasing the most radiation in TEPCO's announcement?

I posted about reactor 3 last week and it being in  trouble.

We also know from a Fukushima insider that reactor 4 has been boiling.

Oh, I am sure they will tell everyone that there is no real radiation problem.  But they don't give a damn at TEPCO, because as they see it and are telling the courts, once the radiation leaves their plant, it is no longer theirs.  When it lands on people's property it is then the owner of that property's radiation.  They don't have to clean it up or anything.  One court in Japan thought that argument was correct the the person that brought the lawsuit against TEPCO lost in court for his land being made toxic.

Let's face it Japan's government will never stand up for the people.  They are going to let their people die horrible deaths.  They hide the radiation and they ridicule the people who are concerned about it.

The U.S. and Canada are no better.  They have shut down radiation sensors in California.  They have lied about the radiation saying it did not make it over to the U.S., the media is ignoring Fukushima.

Radiation is being found all over the globe from Fukushima.  Even down in Australia they have had radiation fall out from it.

The situation at Fukushima seems to be the fuel rods have melted the containment vessels and are under them.  Are the rods spreading in the Earth around there?   Is it going to reach the ocean at some point?  Besides of course TEPCO dumping radiated water in the ocean and contaminating it.  That seems to have spread up to Alaska already as the sea life there has begun dying. 

If only governments were honest with the people.  So much death could be avoided.  People could take precautions, like taking iodine pills and doing other things to protect themselves from radiation exposure.

I have above on the tabs - a Radiation protection tab.  It has information in there for people to help get radiation out of their body naturally.

This is one of those situations we have no control over.  I try not to get really upset as there is nothing I can do.  It saddens me beyond words that I can express.  All I can do is keep praying that some how this situation will be controlled.  I pray for humanity and the Earth.

Here is a link for the real time radiation Geigermap of Japan. 

Look at Reno Nevada and the radiation they are getting from Fukushima.

Fukushima - Reactor 3 - MOX Fuel in trouble? -Leaking of Water. Besides Reactor 4 problems - Pictures of up close leaks - from TEPCO - Also Another Nuke plant is having trouble

January 7 2012 Picture - Reactor 4 in fore ground - Reactor 3 (Mox Fuel) 2nd


The situation at Fukushima seems to be getting worse by the day in information coming out.  Yet of course MSM, which isn't about real news has not even mentioned Fukushima, except for "Everything is stable" last month.

Fukushima II (Daini)- Nuclear Power Plant trouble information is at the bottom. 

Fukushima Diary has information on their site today that is very disturbing.  Besides Reactor 4 - boiling without water and not keeping water in the containment vessel and many earthquakes happening and yellow cake being found under the plant.  reactor 3 seems to be in the same situation, in not keeping water in the vessel.

Reactor 3 is the MOX Fuel Reactor - which is Plutonium, this is the most toxic substance on Earth. 

There are have been multiple quakes around there this morning - including a 4.4 - you can see them at this site.  

Residents of Fukushima have said that the Earthquakes do not feel like normal ones.



Fukushima Diary has the information and charts up about Reactor 3 - possible leak of the skimmer surge tank of Reactor 3. 

Because the SFP of reactor 4 is in crisis, we have paid all of our attention to reactor 4,
but the FPC skimmer surge tank level of reactor 3 is very unstable from the report of Tepco
At 5:00 1/4/2012, FPC skimmer surge tank level was 7350mm
However,  at 11:00 1/4/2012, it dropped down to 5240mm.
Since then, it keeps decreasing.
None of the announcement is given from Tepco or Japanese government about it.

I have found a TEPCO report released on January 10th 2012 showing photos of a tank leaking that is a desalination water tank.  Here are  pictures and reports  for the Press, from TEPCO.
But do they release complete information and complete pictures?  These leaks don't look like they are big.  Considering Reactor 4 has not been keeping water in it, from earlier reports, these leaks don't look like they are the problem of the massive leaking of water previously reported.

Here are some of the pictures from the above link:




 





When I was reading the reports - it seems there have been problems at Reactor 2 too.  The bottom portion of the reports, say it is being watched carefully.  Here are the reports available.

12010406 Table Summary-e


12010412 Table Summary-e

Besides all of this - it seems the Fukushima II Nuclear Power plant is also in trouble. Enews - has that information

From enews site:

Interview with TEPCO president Toshio Nishizawa, The Denki Shimbun, Jan. 11, 2012:
[...] What are your thoughts looking back on the last year?
“The accidents at the Fukushima I and II nuclear power stations have caused great inconvenience and anxiety to people in the Fukushima area and society as a whole. I again extend our sincere apologies. Since March 11 last year, we have been making frantic efforts to address our challenges while continuing to move forward and deliberate solutions. [...]
Did Nishizawa make a mistake? Rather unlikely, as he made a similar statement two months ago: Tepco President apologizes for accident at Fukushima DAINI nuclear plant... not just Daiichi
Daini was in the news earlier this week: Just In: Fukushima *DAINI* reactor has broken containment vessel, says Tokyo Professor -- Probably caused by quake, not tsunami

Fukushima Diaries - 4.2 Shallow Quake directly under Fukushima Nuclear Plant - Quake not showing on USGS map. Fukushima Truth and Arnie Gundersen's latest video - Japan dumping Waste in Tokyo Bay

Fukushima Diaries has information that there was a 4.2 shallow quake directly under the Fukushima Nuclear Power plant, but USGS site does not have it on it.  

 from Fukushima Diaries:

21:41 1/5/2012 (JST) an earthquake of magnitude 4.2 hit Japan.
The epicenter is Fukushima Nakadori, where Fukushima plants are located.
It’s shallower than 10km. No information about the plant is announced yet.
JNN Fukushima live camera was down immediately after the quake.

Since the USGS site does not have it, I have to wonder if it was an earthquake or something else, since it was directly under Fukushima?

The TEPCO camera is back online from what I can tell.   There is a very bright light coming from the right of Reactor 4.  Reactor 4 has been in a critical stage the last couple of days since January 1st.  It has been losing water at an unprecedented amount.

Fukushima diaries had the fact that TEPCO sent out an emergency email to the media regarding the critical stage of Reactor 4 after a New Years day quake. 

The water level is decreased naturally because of water evaporation, as it used to take 3 hours to be decreased by 50 mm (17mm/h), but from 2PM to 5PM today it was decreased by 240 mm within 3 hours.(80 mm/h).

The fallout from Fukushima, since January 1st has been more than the whole month of November.

After the earthquake, it turned out that the fallout amount in Fukushima from 1/2/2012~1/3/2012 spiked up to be 558.1 Bq/m2 (Cs-134 and 137).The total fallout of Fukushima of November was only 347.7 Bq/m2 for 30 days, which is less than the fallout of the 2 days of 1/2 and 1/3.
Also, the total fallout of Tokyo of April was 570 Bq/m2 for 30 days.

Whistleblower - Containment vessels melting like honeycombs

Pictures of yellowcake under the containment vessels from the whistleblower:




An Anti Nuclear Japanese Town Counselor who went around the country talking against Nuclear energy, somehow committed suicide (official reason of death) by shooting himself in his chest.


People are losing their hair, nails, having nose bleeds etc in Japan. 


Some links:


It always makes me so sad when I read about Fukushima and how all those in power and the media hide and ignore the fact that things are getting worse and not better there.  

The fact is IAEA is part of hiding the facts of Fukushima.  They are not really the watch dog of the Nuclear Energy as they are suppose to be.  They were formed to promote Nuclear energy and to keep it going.  They are fraud just as the SEC, CFTC (govt regulatory agencies) are fraud and hide and protect those who they are suppose to be watching.

Arnie Gundersen of Fairewinds
has a video out about IAEA and how Japan is dumping all the radioactive waste in Tokyo Bay.   He also says the IAEA is protecting TEPCO. 




TEPCO Believes Mission Accomplished & Regulators Allow Radioactive Dumping in Tokyo Bay from Fairewinds Energy Education on Vimeo.

All of this is so sad and it is so hard to comprehend how the Earth is being radiated and the situation at Fukushima is far from over, the real problems may just be beginning.  I have constantly looked at information about Fukushima but have stayed away from posting much about it because it is so sad and hurts deeply in what is happening to the Earth and humanity, I have not been able to write about it.  But it is time to confront the destruction and poisoning of the Earth, animals and humans.

There are seals dying in Alaska and they are now just going to test them for radiation.  What is going to happen with the whales begin migrating there this summer?  First the whales will have to go through the debris that is from Japan and will have to fight their way to the surface to breath when they get caught up in them.  So will they even survive that part of the migration?  Then what is going to happen when they swim through all the radioactive Pacific water?  This is so sad on so many levels it is hard to me to even write about.

Nuclear Energy is the worst energy there is, as the problems of the plants are covered up even by the IAEA which is suppose to be the watch dog and when there is an accident, literally the world is at risk.  For all those who say it is clean energy they are lying and they are towing the line of their masters.

I think it is funny when you look at the Georgia Guidestones and how those in power built them.  On the Guidestones which I have visited they say:

Be not a cancer on the earth - Leave room for nature - Leave room for nature.

So I can say to those who are in power - You are the Cancer on Earth as you are the ones who are making the Earth toxic and killing nature through your greed.  So.... a question to you..... Has it been worth it?  Has killing the Earth and making it toxic for your brief lifetime of "pleasure and money" been worth it?  

Was the 4.2 quake today under Fukushima a real quake or something else that we are not being told about at this time?

The President of TEPCO - The owner of Japan's Fukushima Plant in Melt down has Vanished and so has the Prime Minister of Japan

Added 10:30am - Reactor 3 is breached



It seems the President of TEPCO, the owner of Japan's Nuclear Power plant Fukushima, that is melting down right now has not been seen since March 13th.  But he is not the only one, the Prime Minister of Japan has been missing in action also.

TEPCO company says he is running everything, but none of the employees have seen him and the people at where he lives have not seen him for 2 weeks either.

One thing I have been looking for the last week is for the Prime Minister to come out and make statements and have not seen him at all.  I wondered to myself if he had skipped the country.  This article confirms the Prime Minister has been missing from the scene also.

If the elite are skipping town and have evacuated then it seems to me the situation is much worse than what they have admitted to over the last two weeks.

The Mox Fuel Reactor 3 uses Plutonium as part of the fuel.  I wrote about how it is 2 million times worse than uranium.  What is unbelievable is the media nor the governments are actually informing people and educating them about Mox fuel.  But not just that, there are those whose job is to put out the lies and spin for the government in the media.  This person seems to be doing his job.  Lawrence Solomon has put out the most ridiculous article and the financial post has actually run it.  He is telling people "Plutonium is Good for you"  I believe this just shows how evil those at the top are by not being honest and educating people that  they are killing people of the world and killing the Earth. 

Portions of Article linked at the beginning about the disappearing act of TEPCO's President and the Prime Minister

TOKYO — In normal times, Masataka Shimizu lives in The Tower, a luxury high-rise in the same upscale Tokyo district as the U.S. Embassy. But he hasn’t been there for more than two weeks, according to a doorman.

Shimizu last appeared in public at a late-night news conference March 13, two days after the worst earthquake on record in Japan. The tsunami triggered by the quake, said Shimizu, dressed in a blue company uniform instead of his normal business suit, “exceeded our expectations.” 

Japan’s mainstream media have mostly gone easy on the Tepco boss, in contrast with the treatment meted out in America to BP boss Tony Hayward during the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. But one online journal demanded that Shimizu be tried in a criminal court. Several bloggers called for the death penalty, though far more numerous are those who simply want him to break cover and appear in public. 

Prime Minister Naoto Kan has also voiced frustration at Tepco’s bunker mentality. Japanese newspapers reported that Kan visited Shimizu before dawn at the start of the crisis and later, upon learning that the company might withdraw its last workers from the smoldering nuclear plant, shouted, “What the hell is going on?” Since then, however, the prime minister himself has mostly dropped from view and officials have stopped criticizing Tepco.

From the Most Vile Article trying to tell people Plutonium is good for them!  This tells me all I need to know about this man - Lawrence Solomon, besides seeing what other articles he has written - he wrote how radiation is good for you and the Fukushima radiation is most probably benefiting people.   I believe Mr. Lawrence Solomon needs to get on a plane IMMEDIATELY and Go to Japan, I believe that man needs to go right at the voluntary evacuation area, I believe that man should drink all the water there and if he does not go there, I believe that man should at least have Tokyo's tap water sent to him to drink and bathe in.   For someone to put this kind of disinfo out is nothing but Evil.  If you are going to tell people to be happy about the fallout then you need to go right in the middle of it to benefit from it as you say it is good for you.

What Lawrence Solomon says about Plutonium, From the article:

Plutonium, one of the most feared radioactive substances on earth, may in fact enhance human health, according to unexpected new findings published in the journal, Health Physics.
