While the club of Paris journalists bombarded us headlines on the last tweet of Valerie Trierweiler (exciting!), the misadventures of Ségolène (sobering!), the departure of Laurence Ferrari (moving!) or statements of the (ir) responsible for European on the crisis of public debt, the situation in Fukushima turns to disaster without it deserves a line in our newspapers or even seconds antenna.
And yet, if the objective of official journalists of "sell paper" or "make the hearing", since many of them is to hide even more, speak of what is spent actually in Fukushima them would excite crowds, properly for once.
But for the moment, it is the silence of death.
A question of survival of the human species
When Fukushima nuclear power plant was devastated by the earthquake and the tsunami in March 2011, the Japanese authorities and agencies specialized in nuclear power have had a single priority: obscene way minimize the health impact of the disaster, to prevent any movement of panic.
The explosion of a nuclear power plant releases a large amount of radioactive radionuclides yet in the atmosphere. So the same radioactive fallout after the explosion of an atomic bomb or a "dirty bomb". One of the radioactive compounds is more common then iodine 131 (131I). And this is what happened to Fukushima (more on this point below).
By chance, there is a way fast, very efficient, very cheap, and without serious side effects, to immunize your organization against iodine 131, which is not the case of other radioactive compounds (e.g. caesium).
Just take a tablet of iodine, in the two hours following the nuclear accident, or you brush with 2 mL of tincture of iodine on the skin (1 mL for children). If you have not iodine in your medicine cabinet, you can use the betadine, doubling the dose. The application is to renew three days later. In this way, you saturate your body of non-radioactive iodine and you decrease your absorption of iodine radioactive, and 97% without serious adverse effects.
Indeed, your thyroid gland is programmed to store and quickly concentrate iodine happening in its scope. If it is radioactive iodine, your thyroid will absorb it and you'll be exposed to internal radiation, which will increase your risk of cancer of the thyroid and benign nodules. Children and babies are even more vulnerable than adults.
But if your thyroid is already saturated with non-radioactive iodine, then your body only consumes more. And you can get this result in you basting of the tincture of iodine on your skin.
It costs almost nothing. But must have in his medicine cabinet.
Attention, there are the dangers to use tincture of iodine, which is not a harmless product. It should be before using it, to seek the advice of a physician or a pharmacist. Do not associate it with a mercury-based antiseptics. Pregnant women and babies of less than a less should not be used without medical advice. Similarly, any person who has some sensitivity to iodine, which is suffering from a thyroid disease and who suffers from heart problems should not apply tincture of iodine.
It is vital to act quickly
The speed of administration of iodine after exposure to radioactive iodine is a decisive factor of efficiency. The protective effect is 97% when the dye is administered at the exhibition, but spent 85% an hour after, and 50% between 3 and 4 hours after exposure. After 6 hours, you are "out."
For these reasons, it appears reasonable to worry today to put in your cupboard to pharmacy bottle of tincture of iodine. Will it not cost you only a few euros.
The time bomb is not defused
Contrary to what have recognized the authorities at the time of the accident, tens of thousands of people in the Pacific and the Japan were affected by emissions of cesium 137 radioactive following the tsunami of March 2011. The Fukushima plant waste have been found on the coast of California. While there was concern that the accident was worse than that of Chernobyl in the days that followed, no one could have imagined how it would be worse.
If current estimates are correct, Fukushima has already released as much radiation into the atmosphere than Chernobyl. The difference is that the company TEPCO and the Government of Japan would not build shelter in concrete around the plant, as it was done by the Soviets at a human cost it is true giant.
Today, it is therefore found with bare nuclear facilities, and the risk of a disaster still ten times greater if a new earthquake were to occur. This scenario is unfortunately likely in this area in high seismic activity.
We are now at the mercy of nature. The Japanese Government knows, and preparing plans for the total evacuation of the metropolitan area of Tokyo, an exodus to the apocalyptic humanitarian consequences that would apply to 40 million people! In fact, huge Territories today densely populated in the northern hemisphere would become uninhabitable for centuries or even millennia.
Denial is no
There is no way to deny this reality. Claim that the threat does not exist cannot exclude the danger, or protect you you and your family. The only effect will be to leave you helpless on the day where the disaster will occur.
Should you have in mind the following facts:
Central Fukushima-Dai-Ichi contained six nuclear reactors. March 11, 2011 tsunami caused flooding of generators producing electricity from the cooling system, which resulted in the days that followed, the merger of three reactors on the six ("full melt down").
Each of them will then be explosions of hydrogen, which destroy their roofs and their upper part.
From this stage, massive releases will occur in the atmosphere and the environment. The Japanese Government took a dramatic decision: ask that of sea water is used to cool the reactors, which ended destroying them completely, and releasing millions of litres of water in the Pacific.
The disaster was so classified at level 7 (the highest) of the international scale of nuclear events.
The nightmare of swimming pools
But the worst threat currently is "swimming pools".
We must know that, in type Fukushima nuclear plant, spent fuel bars are stored in pools filled with water. This fuel emits radiation which are extremely dangerous to humans and is a huge heat. Under normal conditions, the water allows to block the rays, and cooling the spent fuel bars. Machines also allow you to review bars, moved, etc.
The problem is that, following the accident, the cooling system ceased to function, which first produced the evaporation of water and a fire in the reactor pool 4, producing new programmes of radioactive vapour. Facilities to move the bars were destroyed. Today, most no human being can approach these pools.
An impending disaster?
Today, Tuesday 19 June 2012, radioactivity so climbed up the swimming pool n ° 2 is longer possible to measure. (Yes, you have well read: radioactivity is too strong to be measured). Water is evaporating, heat and radiation could rise sharply and trigger new fires.
The swimming pool n ° 4 is 30 metres above the ground and is exposed to the open air. The structure that surrounded it and the claimed is heavily damaged. If a new earthquake occurred and she collapsed and started to flee, a catastrophic radiological fire would occur which could cause emission of Cesium ten times higher than Chernobyl.
In addition, it is impossible to remove these radioactive rods because the planned system was also destroyed during the tsunami. Remove them with a crane would cause emissions of damaging radiation, fire and potentially also of the explosions, which cannot be avoided that by keeping them permanently in water, in reinforced structures (which has never been practiced nowhere, adding a large dose of unpredictability to the operation).
Some scientists even believe that the collapse of the pools would be so serious that all the Japan should be evacuated. This would represent 125 million refugees, which would cause a humanitarian disaster without precedent.
One of the largest accumulations of radioactivity of the planet
Before that you did balayiez hand this information giving some extremist anti-nuclear network, here's what said Robert Alvarez, top adviser to the environment and national security at the Department of energy of the United States (Senior Policy Adviser to the Secretary for National Security and the Environment for the US Department of Energy) :
"Total stocks of nuclear fuel used on the website of Fukushima Daichi contains nearly half of the total amount of caesium 137 released by all nuclear weapon tests in the atmosphere, Chernobyl, and worldwide reprocessing plants (about 270 000 000 curies or 9.9 E + 18 becquerels)."
It is important that the public understand that the reactors that operate for decades, such as the site of Fukushima-Dai-Ichi, produced one of the largest accumulations of radioactivity of the planet. ?
Nuclear agencies around the world are alert to the possibility of a new degradation of the reactors in Fukushima and pools of spent fuel and radioactive fallout that would result. A series of explosions occur which would cause radiation throughout the northern hemisphere, that it would be impossible to limit.
Do not rely on the authorities to you "support".
The moral of this story is that, what that the future, don't count on the authorities to protect you, and even less for you "to support".
If, in an area as crucial as nuclear safety, they are able to leave such a disaster occur (difficult to argue to the Japan, nobody knew the risk of earthquakes and tsunami...), and if they are capable of badly managing the consequences, say you although they act in the same way, and worse still, other areasincluding the crucial public health.
The reality is that the experts of the Governments are simply not concerned in the first place, by the public, and even less by your specific case or by mine.
For them, as for many people, the priority is to ensure their own progress, their own prestige. And if this requires help, active or passive, to put in place a dangerous and inhuman system, many, unfortunately, would not hesitate. History has shown, and how many times.
I will keep you informed
I continue to receive the updated agenda, exclusive information of Fukushima. You will therefore be among the first to be informed as soon as a significant event will occur, and without the information pass through the filter of official agencies. This will allow you, if you wish, to be among the first to respond.
It is in general, which makes all the difference.
