The Japanese nuclear disaster bathed north America in a radioactive cloud. Now pharmacologists have found the telltale signature in California wine made at the time. After release into the atmosphere, cesium-137 was swept around the world and found its way into the food supply in trace quantities. Such an addition is rarely welcomed. But in […]
Japan to drain radioactive Fukushima water DIRECTLY into the Pacific Ocean
Government authorities in Japan have announced new plans to start dumping highly radioactive wastewater from the failed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility directly into the Pacific Ocean. Though the amount of radiation in the water far exceeds legally-permitted levels, according to the plant’s operator and documents reviewed by the U.K.’s Telegraph, there’s apparently no other place to put […]
News Coverage Of Fukushima Disaster Minimized Health Risks To General Population
Seven years after the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, the disaster no longer dominates U.S. news headlines, though the disabled plant continues to pour three tons of radioactive water into the ocean each day. Homes, schools and businesses in the Japanese prefecture are uninhabitable, and will likely be so forever. Yet the U.S. media has […]
New Evidence Of Nuclear Fuel Releases Found At Fukushima
Uranium and other radioactive materials, such as caesium and technetium, have been found in tiny particles released from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors. This could mean the environmental impact from the fallout may last much longer than previously expected according to a new study by a team of international researchers, including scientists from The […]
Rig, Rad, Run: Radiation Monitoring, Fukushima, and Our Nuclear Dystopia
‘RIG, RAD, RUN: Radiation Monitoring, Fukushima, and Our Nuclear Dystopia’ addresses the shortcomings and manipulations in the radiation monitoring responses of the U.S. EPA and FDA in the wake of the Fukushima disaster. In the book, author Andrew Kishner argues that preconceived, unscientific notions corrupted the EPA’s sampling and testing activities to monitor Fukushima radiation […]
Return To Fukushima: Eerie Pictures Show After-Effects Of Nuclear Chain Reaction
Nuclear meltdown. It is the worst nightmare of modern humanity. Forces we barely understand that seem so fundamentally powerful and dangerous that we think of them only in terms of profound unease. Isotopic radiation – the worst of all monsters, the invisible fiend that can alter our very DNA. An idea so terrifying that the […]
Fukushima Radiation Is Constantly Increasing, And Is Steadily Building Up In Our Food Chain
Cesium-134, the fingerprint of seaborne radiation from the nuclear disaster at Fukushima in Japan, has been detected on the West Coast of the United States for the first time, as well as in Canadian salmon. Seaborne radiation from Japan’s Fukushima nuclear disaster has been detected in seawater samples taken from Tillamook Bay and Gold Beach […]
Fukushima Effects On Pacific Ocean Sea Food 2011 – FOREVER
If you eat sea food contaminated with man made radiation what does it mean? How much is too much? How little is to much? You don’t want to eat seafood from the Pacific, there are other oceans. But, they may not be safe either. Look at the radioactive fallout. There are so many things on […]
Radioactive Veteran: A NEW LOOK AT NUCLEAR FALLOUT IN AMERICA
“Radioactive Veteran” is a documentary short that offers a new look at nuclear fallout in America. Donald Guy was a Marine in the early 1950s when the military ordered him to the Nevada Test Site, where they had begun conducting nuclear testing. Along with thousands of other Marines and soldiers, Donald was assured he was safe […]
News Coverage Of Fukushima Disaster Found Lacking
Five years after the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, the disaster no longer dominates U.S. news headlines, although experts say it is a continuing disaster with broad implications. A new analysis by American University sociology professor Celine-Marie Pascale finds that U.S. news media coverage following the disaster minimized health risks to the general […]
