[Column] Is the truth of Fukushima health problems concealed like Chernobyl ?

Note : If you are from the international mass media, Don’t read this site before taking a contact with me.

 

 

Recently I’m asked why I don’t write more about the health problems in Fukushima and Japan.

 

My answer is this, I’m not ignoring it but there is no objective statistics.

 

It’s easy to quote someone’s story, such as someone’s son got leukemia, someone’s friend died of heart attack etc.. I can collect those stories anytime, and I feel like those cases are increasing. but you can’t generalize it. We need the statistics to compare before 311.

 

Like yesterday, I spent almost the half day to look into the demographic statistics of 2013 from Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. but I couldn’t find any trend.

 

As I wrote before, I think something is in the “gap” of the statistics.

For example, abortion rate and still birth rate are separated. The surveys are conducted by the different governmental bodies, compiled in different statistics.

To make it worse, variety of data were not taken in the first few months after 311 in Fukushima and Miyagi for some reason. One of the most important parts of data is missing.

 

The statistics of the causes of death also has the “black hole” as “sudden death”. The deaths counted into the part are never categorized, so we will not to know what ever happened.

 

Fukushima Diary has been running for 3 years. I shouldn’t be reporting rumor. I should supply information objective enough to provide researchers and doctors, so they will start the further investigation.

 

From the protocol between Fukushima prefectural government and IAEA, if either of them requests, they can conceal the information related to health problems to share. IAEA is the one to report that most of the people had health problems from the stress and fear in Chernobyl (including malformation).

I’m very concerned the truth might be swallowed by the darkness, again.

 

I reject the international mass media to read this site without taking a contact with me.I know some of the mass media corporations read Fukushima Diary to understand the trend so they know when to report about Fukushima as if they were independently following it for a long time.
In short, they make you individual readers pay for this site while they pay nothing, and when they publish the “authorized news”, you pay for the “secondhand news”, which is nothing new for us.
This site is free for the individual readers, but not for corporations.In the world, this site is nearly the only source about Fukushima. I came here alone without any supporting organizations, background or anything. I’m not pleased to be exploited by the corporations that didn’t even properly report about Fukushima when 311 took place.

I demand them to take a contact with me BEFORE reading this site whatever the purpose is.

[Édito] Les impacts sanitaires de Fukushima sont-ils censurés comme ceux de Tchernobyl ?
Note : Si vous êtes de la grande presse internationale, ne lisez pas ce site sans avoir préalablement pris contact avec moi.

 

On m’a récemment demandé pourquoi je ne parle pas plus de la situation sanitaire à Fukushima et au Japon.

Ma réponse est en ceci que je ne le néglige pas mais qu’il n’existe aucune statistique objective.

Il est facile de donner des histoires de gens comme son fils a une leucémie, son ami est mort d’une attaque cardiaque, etc. Je peux trouver tout de suite ce genre d’histoire et je sens que ces cas deviennent plus fréquents mais on ne peut pas généraliser à partir d’eux. On a besoin de statistiques pour pouvoir comparer avec avant le 11-3.

Comme hier, j’ai passé pratiquement la moitié de la journée dans les statistiques démographiques de 2013 du ministère de la Santé, du Travail et des Affaires Sociales mais je n’ai pas pu en sortir de tendance quelconque.

Comme je l’ai déjà écrit, je crois qu’il y a des choses dans ce “vide” statistique.
Par exemple, les fréquences des avortements et naissances sont séparées. Les campagnes sont menées par des administrations différentes, analysées en statistiques séparées.
Pour ne rien arranger, pendant les premiers mois qui ont suivi le 11-3 beaucoup de données n’ont pas été collectées dans les préfectures de Fukushima et de Miyagi. Une partie des données les plus importantes est manquante.

Les statistiques des décès ont aussi leurs “trous noirs” comme cette “mort subite”. Les morts comptabilisées ainsi ne sont jamais catégorisées, donc on ne saura jamais ce qui s’est passé.

Le Fukushima Diary publie depuis 3 ans. Je me dois de ne pas propager de rumeurs. Je dois donner des informations suffisamment objectives pour intéresser des chercheurs et des médecins, pour qu’ils puissent commencer à approfondir.

Selon les accords passés entre l’AIEA et la préfecture de Fukushima, n’importe quelle information de santé peut être censurée à la demande de n’importe lequel des d’eux. L’AIEA, ce sont ceux qui ont prétendu que la plupart des gens avaient eu des problèmes de stress et de peurs (malformations incluses) à Tchernobyl.

Je crains sérieusement que la vérité soit à nouveau enfouie au plus profond de la nuit.

 

J’interdis à la grande presse internationale de lire et d’utiliser ce site sans préalablement prendre contact avec moi. Je sais que certaines grandes sociétés de presse lisent le Fukushima Diary pour comprendre la tendance et trouver quand rendre compte de la situation de Fukushima comme s’ils la suivaient indépendamment depuis longtemps.
En résumé, ils vous font payer à vous, simples lecteurs, ce qu’ils prennent gratuitement dans ce site et lorsqu’ils publient des “nouvelles de première main” vous payez pour des “nouvelles resucées”, qui n’ont rien de nouveau pour nous.
Ce site est gratuit pour les lecteurs individuels, pas pour les sociétés. Ce site est pratiquement la seule source au monde sur Fukushima. Je viens ici seul sans aucun soutien d’organisation quelconque, ni références, ni rien. Je n’apprécie pas de me faire exploiter par ces sociétés qui n’ont même pas été foutues de relater correctement ce qui se passait à Fukushima quand a eu lieu le mois de mars 2011.

Je leur demande de prendre contact avec moi AVANT de lire ce site dans quelque but que ce soit.

  1. It appears to be willful deception, by my lights

    Dr. Brainwasher (Shunichi Yamashita) is one major plop of ‘happy-horse-chit!

    Natural News exclusive: Fukushima victim exposes Japanese government’s attempted bizarre brainwashing of radiation victims

    This blogspot website has located and translated several key brainwashing phrases uttered by Dr. Yamashita as part of the Japanese government’s propaganda campaign. The following statements span several online videos featuring “Dr. Brainwasher.” Each of these statements is a total propaganda fabrication. The comments in ALL CAPS are my own:

    • “To tell you the truth, radiation doesn’t affect people who are smiling. Only those who are worried. This has clearly been demonstrated by animal studies.” (HUH? WHAH?)

    • “Laughter will remove your radiation phobia.” (COOL, ‘CUZ I’M LAUGHING ALREADY!)

    • “If you laugh, radiation won’t get you.” (NOW I CAN SAFELY WORK AT A MAMMOGRAPHY CLINIC!)

    • “Internal exposure has 10 times less health risk than external exposure.” (SO IF I EAT URANIUM, IT’S SAFER THAN USING IT AS A SKIN WHITENING CREAM?)

    • “Children can play outdoors.” (AS LONG AS YOU DON’T MIND THEM DYING)

    • “No effect on health below 100 millisieverts radiation exposure.” (UNLESS YOU ARE A MAMMAL)

    • “Adults over 20 years have very little sensitivity to radiation. Almost zero.” (UNLESS THEY HAPPEN TO STILL BE ALIVE…)

  2. The lies of Dr. Brainwasher (Shunichi Yamashita) are infamous in Japan, and are increasingly, and openly ridiculed in the USA.

  3. Call it rumor or not, I lived in Tokyo for only 2 months and my health suffered as a result.

    1. Anecdotal evidence and verifiability:

      The expression ‘anecdotal evidence’ refers to ‘personal testimony’, and similar 2nd person and 3rd person accounts.

      Because of the small sample, and in this case anonymity, there is a larger chance that it may be unreliable due to cherry-picked or otherwise non-representative samples of typical cases. Anecdotal evidence is generally accepted only in lieu of more solid evidence. This is true regardless of the veracity of individual claims.

      The term is often used in contrast to reproducible scientific evidence. which are types of formal accounts.

      Misuse of anecdotal evidence is an informal fallacy and is sometimes referred to as the “person who” fallacy (“I know this dude, who…”). Accurate determination of whether an anecdote is “typical” requires statistical evidence.

      The term is sometimes used in a legal context to describe certain kinds of testimony.

      1. Despite Me2’s anonymity, i find his (or her) eye-witness testimony strengthened by Mochizuki-san’s visitors eye-witness testimony a few months ago.
        They noted improved health and lesser symptoms after leaving Japan.
        I do not recall if they lived in or around Tokyo, though.

        “Is the truth of Fukushima health problems concealed like Chernobyl”?
        The methodology does seem similar at minimum, does it not?
        I would go as far as to state that i believe that Fukushima health problems are indeed concealed here in “NAFTA-zone”.

        WHAT OTHER RELEASES HAVE BEEN HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC WORLDWIDE?

        I have heard no new word about the Chinese reactor that had a release of unknown (to me) magnitude in October of 2011, for instance.
        That “new” “nukular” fleet of theirs must have had at least some “teething” issues that few have heard of. Only the successful “lowest-bidders” may know the full potential range of likely mishaps.

  4. Meanwhile, the ‘Team Nuke’ lies are accelerating.

    I have not yet discovered, the specific payoffs of this apparent ‘Team Nuke’ propaganda effort. Time will no doubt bring the matter to light. Meanwhile kids are being deceived.

    1. The tighter “Team Nukular” clenches it’s grubby little protuberances,
      the more systems will slip through their fingers and into retirement.

      “May the Force be with you.”

  5. The truth will not be swallowed by the darkness, not this time. The oligarchs may control the major media but they will never clamp down on all of the new educated voices out there by way of the internet.

  6. Sorry , just out of curiosity what is the source for “From the protocol between Fukushima prefectural government and IAEA, if either of them requests, they can conceal the information related to health problems to share. ”

    Is that protocol published somewhere?

    1. The 1959 AGREEMENT is between the IAEA and the WHO.

      http www theguardian com/ (commentisfree/2009/may/28/who-nuclear-power-chernobyl)

      Fifty years ago, on 28 May 1959, the World Health Organisation’s assembly voted into force an obscure but important agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency – the United Nations “Atoms for Peace” organisation, founded just two years before in 1957. The effect of this agreement has been to give the IAEA an effective veto on any actions by the WHO that relate in any way to nuclear power – and so prevent the WHO from playing its proper role in investigating and warning of the dangers of nuclear radiation on human health.

      “The subordination of the WHO to IAEA is a key part of the systematic falsification of nuclear risk which has been under way ever since Hiroshima, the agreement creates an unacceptable conflict of interest in which the UN organisation concerned with promoting our health has been made subservient to those whose main interest is the expansion of nuclear power. Dissolving the WHO-IAEA agreement is a necessary first step to restoring the WHO’s independence to research the true health impacts of ionising radiation and publish its findings.”

      1. TEXT of IAEA-WHO Agreement:

        http www iaea org/ (Publications/Documents/Infcircs/Others/inf20.shtml#note_c)
        III. World Health Organization
        A. Agreement
        As indicated in the Protocol that follows, this Agreement came into force on 28 May 1959.
        Agreement Between the International Atomic Energy Agency and the World Health Organization
        ARTICLE I
        Co-operation and Consultation

        The International Atomic Energy Agency and the World Health Organization agree that with a view to facilitating the effective attainment of the objectives set forth in their respective constitutional instruments, within the general framework established by the Charter of the United Nations, they will act in close co-operation with each other and Will consult each other regularly in regard to matters of common interest.

        In particular, and in accordance with the Constitution of the World Health Organization and the Statute of the International Atomic Energy Agency and its agreement with the United Nations together with the exchange of letters related thereto, and taking into account the respective co-ordinating responsibilities of both organizations, it is recognized by the World Health Organization that the International Atomic Energy Agency has the primary responsibility for encouraging, assisting and co-ordinating research and development and practical application of atomic energy for peaceful uses throughout the world without prejudice to the right of the World Health Organization to concern itself with promoting, developing, assisting and co-ordinating international health work, including research, in all its aspects.

        Whenever either organization proposes to initiate a program or activity on a subject in which the other organization has or may have a substantial interest, the first party shall consult the other with a view to adjusting the matter by mutual agreement.

    2. Perhaps,

      There does not appear to be any such ‘Source’, for a prefectural agreement. Only a comment from a ‘Suzuki Hiroshi’ which he posts everywhere, without a link to his source, beyond ‘Asahi Shimbaum.

      Looks like DisInformation, probably.

      Sincerely,

      Bill Duff

    3. Revise and Extend:

      It appears, upon further review; that there may be an explicit agreement, between government entities and the IAEA.

      Quite a bizarre and heinous document, it would appear.

      Sincerely,

      Bill Duff

        Secret designation clause Fukushima IAEA, Fukui share private information

        Morning December 31, 2013

        It found that the memorandum of mutual cooperation that connects Fukushima and (IAEA), Fukui prefectures International Atomic Energy Agency, one upon request or province or IAEA, terms that can be private information that you are sharing is included were. For this provision, it is not seen as a problem in prefectural assembly, there is also the voice of criticism that “in the lead ahead of the particular secret protection law”.

        The Memorandum of Understanding with the IAEA, in December last year, Fukushima Prefecture were signed respectively in October this year, Fukui Prefecture.

        In Fukushima Prefecture, Prefectural University of Medicine has concluded with the IAEA for the health impact study prefecture, radiation for the management of radioactive waste and decontamination. There are “exemplary arrangements” document as detailed MOU provisions marked to be “to ensure the confidentiality of information designated as confidential by the other party” is included in the document.

        I signed a cooperation with the IAEA in relation to human resource development of the nuclear field in Fukui Prefecture, there was a secret language specified in the memorandum.

        Both county, you are not information that is secret specified at this stage, but measured data and accident information, for such thyroid cancer in children, IAEA or province side, you secret designated as such as “stir up anxiety of residents” For example, there is a possibility that the information will not be published.

        Person in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs played a memorandum of adjustment that “because it is negotiated every international, it can not be said either of the IAEA and Japan may or sought secret designation clause” in the interview.

        However, according to people familiar with the matter of prefectures, when the exchange memorandums and government agencies in each country, that there are rules that incorporate the wording of the secret specified in the IAEA.

        The IAEA has compiled a report and “there was no modulation of Health by exposure” in the Chernobyl nuclear accident.

        Muto Ruiko head of the Fukushima nuclear power plant prosecution team is concerned, “there is a precedent that has the hidden information about the health effects of Chernobyl IAEA. Fukushima also become the Ninomai” he said.

  7. Dr. Alfred Körblein: “Infant mortality in Japan was significantly increased in May und December 2011, 2 and 9 months after the Fukushima reactor accident (+18.6%, P=0,011 und +16,8%, P=0,023).
    In Fukushima Prefecture, infant mortality in May 2011 was increased by a factor of 2.9 relative to the expected trend value”: http://alfred-koerblein.de/fukushima/english/index.htm

    “In Japan, the number of live births is significantly decreased in December 2011, 9 months after the Fukushima nuclear accident (-4,7%, P=0,007). In Fukushima Prefecture the effect is highly significant (-15.4%, P=0.0001).”. http://alfred-koerblein.de/fukushima/english/index.htm

    “The sex ratio (ratio of male to female live births) is significantly decreased in October 2011, 7 months after the Fukushima reactor accident. The sex ratio in October 2011 is lowest in the whole study period (January 1998 through March 2013).” http://alfred-koerblein.de/fukushima/english/index.htm

    It takes years, decades and generations for the Fukushima Health Effect to fully develop.
    But the first victim was already the truth.
    And the second vicitms were the many many unborn or stillbirths – not appearing in any statistic, but in parent’s souls.

    The new Secret Defense Law also stops doctors and media from talking. Let’s got into the depth:

    Who understands the thyroid cancer phenomenon? A frightening text:
    There are two main findings. Only the first will be understood and is always mentioned, by doctors, media: 1) The increase of thyroid cancer, in children. And: The increase of cysts and other changes. Not so understood: These are usually the precursor of cancer. Digested? Well,
    then there is 2) Thyroid Cancer WAS uncommon. Totally. One out One Million. Before the Atomic Age (During the period 1935 – 1944: less than one in a million cases, it was declining. http://tekknorg.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/figures-gould.jpg – It increased 5 fold since 1945). AND: It was a cancer of OLD people. NOT children. Dear readers, friends. Nuclear Reactors make us more mortal – They lead to an earlier onset of diseases that only older people had. It is a kind of an accelerated evolution. Now it becomes clear why are more and more ill, and also EARLIER. Diseases – of which no one knows WHY. Alzheimer’s, dementia, diabetes type 1, Preemies, mental illness, autism, stillbirths… And these few generations living and born since the nuclear age, are only one second of a long journey. If the invisible disguises itself by taking the shape of The Known… it is no wonder, experts fail to blame the real offender. Parents pay the killer of their children, with the monthly electricity bill. Nuclear Safety and dose limits allow peaceful murder. Victims of the nuclear cellular apocalypse are simply called “cancer patients.” Then even laws are passed, so is not reported on nuclear issues. I ask: Who dares to look into it’s face and rip the mask away? If the self-evident became an offense. If you do, you’re welcome. We can not count on experts per se, but on the new thinking. Remember what Einstein said: the possibility of a chain reaction “never occurred to me”.

    quote by Dr. Rosalia Bertell, November 1999 issue of The Ecologist, pp. 408-411: http://ratical.org/radiation/NAvictims.html

    The main way in which the “radiation protection industry” has succeeded in hugely underrating the ill-health caused by nuclear power is by insisting on a group of extremely restrictive definitions as to what qualifies as a radiation-caused illness statistic. For example, under IAEA’s criteria:

    > If a radiation-caused cancer is not fatal, it is not counted in the IAEA’s figures

    > If a cancer is initiated by another carcenogen, but accelerated or promoted by exposure to radiation, it is not counted.

    > If an auto-immune disease or any non-cancer is caused by radiation, it is not counted.

    > Radiation-damaged embryos or foetuses which result in miscarriage or stillbirth do not count

    > A congenitally blind, deaf or malformed child whose illnesses are are radiation-related are not included in the figures because this is not genetic damage, but rather is teratogenic, and will not be passed on later to the child’s offspring.

    > Causing the genetic predisposition to breast cancer or heart disease does not count since it is not a “serious genetic disease” in the Mendelian sense.

    > Even if radiation causes a fatal cancer or serious genetic disease in a live born infant, it is discounted if the estimated radiation dose is below 100 mSv [mSv= millisievert, a measurement of radiation exposure. One hundred millsievert is the equivalent in radiation of about 100 X-Rays].

    > Even if radiation causes a lung cancer, it does not count if the person smokes — in fact whenever there is a possibility of another cause, radiation cannot be blamed.

    > If all else fails, it is possible to claim that radiation below some designated dose does not cause cancer, and then average over the whole body the radiation dose which has actually been received by one part of the body or even organ, as for instance when radio-iodine concentrates in the thyroid. This arbitrary dilution of the dose will ensure that the 100 mSv cut-off point is nowhere near reached. It is a technique used to dismiss the sickness of Gulf War veterans who inhaled small particles of ceramic uranium which stayed in their lungs for more than two years, and in their bodies for more than eight years, irradiating and damaging cells in a particular part of the body.

    From Alexey Jablokov:
    “In the period 1987-88 is a well-documented increase in infant mortality in the leaves radioactive contaminated areas of Ukraine (Grodzinsky, 1999; Omelianetz, Klementjew, 2001, Dubowaja, 2010), Russia (Fetisow, 1999; Hworostenko, 1999; Komogortseva, 2001, Utka et al. 2005, ZYB et al., 2006) and Germany (Korblein, 2006 notice) was found. After the Chernobyl Accident increased infant mortality affects even the entire demographic Statistics of a number of countries. In the more contaminated areas of Ukraine and Russia an increased Overall mortality observed. (The most recent 1995;. Omelianets et al, 2001; Оmelianets, Klement’ev, 2001, Grodzinsky, 1999;. Golubchikov et al, 2002, Kaschirina, 2005; Sergeeva et al. 2005; Dubowaja, 2010, Kaschirina, 2005; Sergeewa et al, 2005;. Fetisow, 1999; Sukalska et al.
    2004 and many others).

    The methodological error of the epidemiological approach to determining the number of victims is based on the accounts of the radiation risk is that the estimation of the number of victims on the comparison of relatively well-documented mortality and morbidity rates (the number the sick and the dead carried out), while levels of radioactive Load can not be accurately determined. Moreover, this approach to determine the Number of victims is not capable of the effects of low radiation dose precisely to record (which have added even the inventor of this approach): “The currently available Epidemiological data provide no basis for reasonable assurance to the radioactive contamination attributable morbidity and mortality in test groups from the To predict the population of the three republics and other European countries, with a average dose of less than 30 mSv were charged in the past 20 years. Any rise in [the morbidity and mortality among these groups] would be lower than the Emerging scientific measurability. “(UNSCEAR, 2011, (97), p. 18).”

    Some estimates of the additional through by the ‘Chernobyl’ caused mortality Cancer, which made the epidemiological approach (“dose” method) were Based on the spread of the “dose” method estimates, which are set out in the table are more than 400 times higher than the usual scientific disagreement. You can with the Opinion of UNSCEAR agree that not a forecast of the number of victims work but with one caveat: This does not work only if the traditional “dose” – Method is applied.

    For the estimation of the total number of victims is another method (the so-called “Balance” method) reliable. It consists of the data of the health status of Population of the radioactively contaminated areas with high data. To compare health status of the population from the “clean” areas. The basic source data consist of physical instrumental measurements of radioactive Contamination of an area and the incidence rate and mortality (morbidity and mortality) in this area.

  8. “In December 2011, 9 months after Fukushima, there is also a significant deficit in the number of live births in Japan. A similar decline in birth numbers was found in February 1987 in southern Bavaria, the German region most affected by Chernobyl fallout. In Japan as well as Bavaria, the effect is limited to a single month.” http://www.strahlentelex.de/Infant_mortality_in_Japan_after_Fukushima.pdf

  9. Dear Mochizuki, Registering the lack of information or data in certain areas, is as important as writing about available info. Thanks!, Lali

    1. Obstruction Justice

      Obstruction of Justice and the deliberate, sustained suppression of evidence, should NEVER be confused with the LACK of evidence and scientific understanding.

      Such is the case, regarding the KNOWN health damages of internal radionuclides, such as cesium, iodine, strontium, sulfur & plutonium.

      Sincerely,

    Scientists and Research on the Effects of Radiation Exposure: From Hiroshima to Fukushima

    放射線影響の研究と科学者—広島から福島へ

    The beginning of nuclear weapons policy and the cover-up of radiation damage

    Research into the effects of radiation exposure from the nuclear fallout of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs has been greatly distorted by U.S. nuclear policy and policies to promote nuclear power. Agencies such as the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) have also failed to fulfilled their original role due to their subordination to nuclear policy, with the result that the social responsibility of scientists to bring to light the truth about the effects of radiation has not been fulfilled.

    In September 1945 at the beginning of the occupation, foreign journalists came to Japan to investigate the situation. On 5 September 1945, the Daily Express printed a dispatch from journalist Wilfred Burchett which said, “In Hiroshima, 30 days after the first atomic bomb destroyed the city and shook the world, people are still dying, mysteriously and horribly – people who were uninjured in the cataclysm – from an unknown something which I can only describe as the atomic plague.” On the same day William H. Lawrence of the New York Times reported, “The atomic bomb still is killing Japanese at a rate of 100 daily.”

    Toxic link: the WHO and the IAEA

    A 50-year-old agreement with the IAEA has effectively gagged the WHO from telling the truth about the health risks of radiation

    Oliver Tickell theguardian com, Thursday 28 May 2009 03.00 EDT

    Fifty years ago, on 28 May 1959, the World Health Organisation’s assembly voted into force an obscure but important agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency – the United Nations “Atoms for Peace” organisation, founded just two years before in 1957. The effect of this agreement has been to give the IAEA an effective veto on any actions by the WHO that relate in any way to nuclear power – and so prevent the WHO from playing its proper role in investigating and warning of the dangers of nuclear radiation on human health.

    “The subordination of the WHO to IAEA is a key part of the systematic falsification of nuclear risk which has been under way ever since Hiroshima, the agreement creates an unacceptable conflict of interest in which the UN organisation concerned with promoting our health has been made subservient to those whose main interest is the expansion of nuclear power. Dissolving the WHO-IAEA agreement is a necessary first step to restoring the WHO’s independence to research the true health impacts of ionising radiation and publish its findings.”

    After five decades, it is time the WHO regained the freedom to impart independent, objective advice on the health risks of radiation.

    See if you see anything.

    look at the prefectural level and then by region.

    1. Not Happening:

      Japan is NOT releasing basic Public Health Information, to the best of my present information.

      Nor, if memory serves, are the prefectures and/or municipalities.

      Hell, even the most recent Japan Census Data is hidden from public view.

      Totally DARK

  13. Why not have new news?
    Not happening nothing? What is going on with the fluel remuval at unit 4?
    What is the situation with contraminated water?
    What is the reality with the Ice wall? It will realy build?
    My opinion it not will stop the radiation is going to the ocean because the soil already deeply contraminated and it is inpossible frose that deep the ground to stop the underground water flow. My opinion all the place will started sinking not only the sea side. You can not stop freezing the graund even if any problem occur that different them calculation………….

  14. Ice Wall

    The Fukushima Ice Wall, ‘The Last Best Hope’ of TEPCO, as expected, did NOT freeze the ground. The Liquid Nitrogen design of the USSR (CCCP) was feasible, but the TEPCO specified ‘chiller system’ was (OBVIOUSLY) NOT cold enough to establish an artificial permafrost level.

    The USSR Liquid Nitrogen Design was to battle a ‘China Syndrome’, at a single corium flow, and was never required at Chernobyl. It was a standby design.

    Japan has NOT released the corium locations and depths, so the need for a USSR Design Liquid Nitrogen system is unknown.

    Secret designation clause Fukushima IAEA, Fukui share private information

    Morning December 31, 2013

    The IAEA has compiled a report and “there was no modulation of Health by exposure” in the Chernobyl nuclear accident.

    Muto Ruiko head of the Fukushima nuclear power plant prosecution team is concerned, “there is a precedent that has the hidden information about the health effects of Chernobyl IAEA. Fukushima also become the Ninomai” he said.

    1. Secrecy Pact

      The ‘Simply Info’ group has posted a (probably) better translation of the Asahi story. ‘Simply Info’ may not be a reliable source for ‘nuclear disarmament’ matters, due to a STRONG (irrational) unilateral disarmament bias. However, much of their nuclear reactor technical analysis is usually sound.

      Fukushima Govt. & Fukushima Medical University Signed Secrecy Pact With IAEA

      Tokyo Shimbun has confirmed that the Fukushima prefecture government, and the Fukushima Medical University “did sign a secrecy agreement with the IAEA”. The medical university is the primary source for public radiation exposure data; and sets the medical ‘standards of care’ for the prefecture and region.

        That has to involve one fat wad of (fiat) cash.
        Where does the money come from? Or are they simply collecting souls for payment?

        Why do i get the sense that it is paid for by the citizens of Japan, to deliberately and purposefully mislead the peoples of Japan (and elsewhere)?

    Tokyo Shimbun Article Regarding Confidentiality Clause in the IAEA/FMU Pact, Complete Translation

    On December 31, 2013, the morning edition of Tokyo Shimbun published an article revealing the existence of a “confidentiality clause” in agreements signed by IAEA and Fukushima Medical University (FMU) as well as Fukui Prefecture.

    Neither prefecture admits to any information having been classified confidential at this time, but if either the prefectures or IAEA decide to classify information for “they contribute to worsening of the residents’ anxiety,” there is a possibility that such information as the accident information, as well as radiation measurement data and thyroid cancer information may not be publicized.

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs official who was involved in the making of the memorandum stated, upon interview, that “As this is an international agreement, I cannot reveal which party, Japan or IAEA, asked for the confidentiality clause.” However, officials of both prefectures stated that IAEA has a rule to include the confidentiality clause when signing the memorandum with the administrative body of each country.

    IAEA has published reports, after the Chernobyl nuclear accident, stating “there were no health effects due to radiation exposure.” Ruiko Mutoh, representative of The Complainants for Criminal Prosecution of the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster, expressed her concern that “IAEA has a history of hiding information about health effects in Chernobyl. The same thing could happen to Fukushima.”

    1. Concealed Hazards

      Willfully concealed hazards can “contribute to worsening of the residents’ anxiety”.

      Many people experience increased anxiety, when the hazards are invisible. For example in a ‘Land Mine Field’, driving in heavy fog, or hearing a rattlesnake in the dark.

      Experts say beach radiation unrelated to Fukushima

      After watching the clip, El Granada electrical engineer Steven Weiss grabbed his own radiation measurement equipment to test the radiation reports for himself. After he verified the hotspot, he took a sample of the dark sediment and sent it to his company’s main offices in Sebastopol for analysis. International Medcom CEO Dan Sythe later put the dirt sample in a spectrum analyzer to view the radioactive “signature” of the particles, the photon energy associated with each isotope. What he found was different from cesium-137. He would know – since the 2011 meltdown, Sythe has visited Japan nine times to help map the cesium fallout.

      Instead he was seeing radium and thorium, naturally occurring radioactive elements.

      “It doesn’t mean that it‘s OK. It’s not something you’d want your baby playing in,” Sythe said. “All we’re saying is this radiation is not from Fukushima.”

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
