Watching BBC news this morning , finally someone came out to tell the world what is happening at Fukushima ..the Japanese government admitted that more radiation particles have gone into the ocean, but they stated that the plant was now safe and 'cold sealed' their words from their PM..

The half-life of Cesium is 30 years. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, chances are you live pretty close to a reactor full of uranium or plutonium. If you're going to be scared, be scared of the right things.
The reality is, if we continue to burn fossil fuels the oceans are soon going to lose their ability to turn CO2 into carbonic acid. Nuclear safety is going to look pretty moot if we're gasping for breath.
"The mainstream media" - man you guys just can't quit with that nonsense.
And you still probably really think F%x is fair and balanced. hahahehehahahehe..............Silwee wabbits!
If you doubt the truthfullness of it I suggest you go into the search engine there is much up to date information that will bear out what I have put here , .how about you try ENE news or or Tepco Press Room I still have heard nothing from the media and that includes FOX .and CNN the BBC is actually now reporting this story so go to www.bbc.co.uk /news/world-asia-16032975 hope that one works for you ... My point was this is far bigger than Chenobyl which we in Europe lived through ...
Where are Godzilla and Mothra when you need em'...
Things I 'know':
1) The human race has demonstrated only a marginal ability to deal with nuclear energy up to this point. Marginal probably isn't good enough.
2) The news reporting about Fukushima has been erratic. Covering the front page one day and almost non-existent the next. There could be several different reasons for this.
3) The Japanese government and nuclear regulatory agency appear to have a consistent record of lying and down playing the incident.
4) If you can ignore the whole issue of Mike Adams, the Health Ranger appearing to be a despicable con man who may actually be a health risk, you gotta admit the guy has a sense of humor. The picture of him dressed up as the maniacal government vaccinator forcing his way into the home of the scared woman - priceless.
I couldn't get to the article from the given link so I went to the NaturalNews homepage. I'll have to get confirmation of this from a source other than Mike Adams, the Health Ranger before I panic. Too much of his stock in trade seems to be junk science, scare tactics, and advertisements for outright scams. Not to say Fukushima isn't a major f**k up, but a disproportianate number of his articles give a whole new meaning to the word spin.
And in addition to Teko's comments don't forget that a whole lot of food is imported from there. And perhaps I am wrong, but I think certain ingredients also, so you may be eating something "partially" made in Japan and not even know it.
Well, we all breathe the same air. The air current from there to here only takes a couple of weeks to get to the states and the oceans, well that is pretty obvious as well. I think it will not take so long to see the effects, but we will see.
Japan is WAAAYYYYY over there, and we're over here, safe & sound.
Out of sight, out of mind (as Teko said).
Quite honestly, the extent of the damage isn't going to be fully realized for at least 50-75-100 years, and I'll be LONG gone by then, so s-u-c-k it!
Not a thing on this in our local media either. I suppose when you know what hits the fan they will claim that the blackout was so not to "panic" people. Disgusting.
No question there will be ongoing issues from this. I guess how widespread and how serious remains to be seen. Scary.
I don't get it either. And I think you are right with more cancers, teko.
A total media blackout on this subject for sure. Out of sight out of mind they think but this one is going to get us where it hurts. There is no possible way we cannot be effected by this but by the time we find out to what extent, it will be too late. Look for an uptake in cancers of all kinds at all ages is my guess. We americans should be squawking loudly but curiously we dont. I dont get it.
I agree Brice. This is diversionary tactics.
Main stream media rather throw mud and have become like tabloids, few topics of any real substance are printed or broadcast.
Interesting/scary story and I find it no mystery that the main stream media is not covering this. Typical for this day and age. Honestly, I've heard nothing about this on any main stream media... MSNBC, FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN.... nobody is covering this.
forgot to add this link for full report http://www.naturalnews.com/034395 Fukushima cesium radiation.html hope it works okay .
