The Japanese government has gone to GREAT LENGTHS to block the flow of information concerning Fukushima.
They say the TRUTH hurts, but what hurts more is keeping the public in the dark.
TEPCO has lied, obfuscated and covered up the truth about what they knew about, or know about what is going on at sites since day one. And of course this goes back to the very beginning of the disaster when they knew within 72 hours that three of the reactors at the Fukushima No.1 plant site were in full meltdown. In fact that they did not reveal to the public for almost three months after that event took place.
What type of radiation is being released ? EXACTLY how badly damaged are the reactors and containment buildings? How do they plan to control all the groundwater running thru the damaged plant, picking up more radioactive materials and releasing it into the ocean?
Japan recently created a task force to “cleanse” the media of reportage that casts an unfavorable light on the nuclear industry.
The government has even gone so far as to accept bids from companies that specialize in scouring the internet to monitor for online reports, Tweets and blogs that are critical of its handling of the Daiichi disaster, which has presented a unique challenge to the lobby there.
There are gag orders against criticizing nuclear.
Script from‘A2-B-C’ (TRAILER予告編) thyroid cysts and nodules in Fukushima children
SYNOPSIS: Many children in Fukushima were never evacuated after the nuclear meltdown on March 11, 2011. Now the number of Fukushima children found to have thyroid cysts and nodules is increasing. What will this mean for their future?
March 22, 2011 12 days after the nuclear meltdown in Fukushima
Dr. Yamashita Shunichi-government adviser on radiation health-risk
Reporter: Can you guarantee we aren’t all going to get cancer?
Dr. Yamashita Shunichi: Sorry
Reporter: Your apologies are not enough! Speak the truth!
Dr. Yamashita Shunichi: I can’t. It’s simply a matter of probability. Nothing is certain. Nobody can guarantee your safety. I can only ask you to feel safe. That is important. I can’t control science. And science isn’t perfect. There will always be errors.
Japanese nuclear power officials announced that radiation levels in Reactor No. 2 had risen to 10 million times the “normal” level. This was widely reported in the BBC and elsewhere (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific…). Today, Tokyo Electric Power says that reading was a mistake, and they retracted it, blaming it on operator error.

TEPCO (now owned by the Japanese Government) is still making excuses for what is going on at the site. Until there is free access to non Fukushima chosen scientists, everything posted by the Japanese/TEPCO is suspect as just more Pro-Japanese Nuclear Propaganda designed to minimize the Trillion Dollar Eco-Disaster called Fukushima.
Look at the lower right half of the building and it clearly shows gray layering on top of an area TEPCO does not want the public to view. What are they trying to conceal?

SOME TEPCO LINKS REROUTE TO UNSECURE THREAT PAGE BEARING THIS WARNING #INTIMIDATION
Tepco executive “Make up imaginary measures as if we were controlling the risk”
Everything was a lie from the very beginning.
We are finding out more and more new facts from the 150 hours video. (cf. Tepco released video of emergency TV meeting “99.3% cut off, 1665 beep sounds, 29 image concealment”)
On 3/14/2011, when reactor 3 exploded, Okuma machi local government in Fukushima sent Tepco a query.
A Tepco employee suggested one of the executive managers, Takahashi the response to the question “We think Inflammable gas is possibly leaking. ”
For this suggestion, Takahashi commented, “Can’t you make up some fake measures ? fake, I mean something to sound as if we were making some steps to prevent the gas from leaking. Can’t you write it ? ”
Actually there was no specific measures against the leaking inflammable gas.
The contents of the query from Okuma machi is not reported.

Post Fukushima Nuclear “Cleanse”
Out of Sight – Out of Mind
As recently as early August, those seeking information on the real extent of the damage at the Daiichi plant and on the extent of radioactive contamination have mostly been reassured by the nuclear community that there’s no need to worry.
The silence of governments and the world press about the radiation dangers from Fukushima is alarming to say the least.
We have an open nuclear sore on the planet, a radioactive boil that continues to burst casting a toxic shadow on the people of Japan and a few other billion people who happen to live in the northern hemisphere.
A report released in July by Human Rights Now highlights the need for immediately accessible information on health and safety in areas where people have been affected by the disaster, including Fukushima, especially on the issues of contaminated food and evacuation plans.
With contradicting information and lack of clear coverage on safety and contamination issues, many have taken to measuring radiation levels with their own Geiger counters.
USA is not testing food from Japan, Hillary cut that Rad-pact deal.
The price to Japan was they had to lie to protect the nuclear industry. It is important to know that governments’ calculations on safe levels of radiation assume only brief exposure.
Chronic and persistent exposures need to be calculated in a very different mathematical way and this is just not what they are doing. The standard does not take into account the effects of accumulative exposure.
For years to come there will be sickness and death associated with this disaster. Nuclear problems just do not go away. As there is no sign of stopping the meltdowns, considering they’ve gone subterranean, these, and many other isotopes will continue pouring into the ocean for decades, if not centuries.
I’m sorry that you will never hear about it. ‘They’ say the die-offs are a mystery…
