Time Magazine, Hannah Beech and Dominic Nahr, Aug 21, 2014: Yukie lived in Futaba, a tidy town where many residents worked at the nearby nuclear plant… Yukie entered an arranged marriage with a nuclear worker [who] still works at the plant, which is why she doesn’t want her full name used… After the evacuation order went out, Yukie and her family ran home—just under 2 miles from Fukushima Daiichi—to grab a few essentials, like blankets and diapers for her daughter. Then they piled into a car and drove northwest. Unbeknownst to them, the prevailing winds blew radiation along the very same path. Since then, Yukie and her family have moved 10 times, from one set of cramped rooms to another. But the specter of radiation—invisible, odorless, tasteless—follows them. Yukie, 33, and her two small children now live like shut-ins on the outskirts of Iwaki, the biggest city near Fukushima Daiichi… Earlier this year, her daughter broke out in mysterious rashes; one visiting doctor speculated that radiation could have caused the outbreaks. (Other doctors, however, blamed different causes.) Yukie suffers from frequent nosebleeds, which she says she never had before the disaster… many parents around Fukushima fear for their children’s health… “There’s so much societal pressure to not even mention the word radiation,” says Sachihiko Fuse, an oncologist who helps run a private medical clinic in Fukushima city. “The national and prefectural governments say, ‘Please, there’s no danger, live as normal.’ But people are concerned.”… no one knows exactly how stress can manifest itself in physical complaints, including nosebleeds.
Speech by Kazuko Ito, Esq., member of the UN Women Regional Civil Society Advisory Group and Secretary General of Japan-based NGO Human Rights Now (At 5:00 in), published by Cinema Forum Fukushima on July 30, 2014: Until now 74 cases of thyroid cancer were identified among affected children, so this is huge. However the government has no plan to expand the health monitoring system… People, especially vulnerable groups such as women and children, are exposed to serious health risks… The government is actively engaged with the safety propaganda, the government conducts no proper guidance regarding the risk of radiation — instead the government underestimates the low level radiation and actively disseminates opinions such as ‘No evidence of physical harm under 100 millisieverts per year.’ Before the accident we talk about 1 millisieverts a year, but now government talks about 100 millisieverts is ok, so how dangerous is it, you could imagine.

"“The national and prefectural governments say, ‘Please, there’s no danger, live as normal.’ But people are concerned.”… no one knows exactly how stress can manifest itself in physical complaints, including nosebleeds."
it's called a direct physical response to radiation exposure, radiation sickness… it is not psychologically induced…

We have learned that "stress" (impact, insomnia, overuse of muscles, stretching… which is stress to muscles, environmental factors like pollen, chemicals, sun exposure, etc) is acted upon by the body with inflammation and histamine response among other effects. The body does not care about the difference between different stresses. Radiation is also a stress to the body, as our system reacts with similar mechanisms. Perhaps the doctors over in Japan are covering themselves by telling patients it is stress causing them problems, because radiation is indeed a stress, it's just that they aren't openly admitting it. Later on, doctors will point out that radiation inflicts stress upon the human body, and it is this fact which will allow them to avoid prosecution. It's ALWAYS been in the wording.
Report comment
No, no, no, don't know where you got that from. "Stress," to the Japanese establishment, means SOLELY psych stuff. The doctors are told to say this and not to mention the R word. The doctors aren't "covering themselves" — they are just following orders for fear of their jobs.
Don't make it more complicated than the criminal insanity it already is. IMHO.

How Can A Radiation Exposure Victim Get 10 Million Dollars As Compensation For Health And Property Damage? via @AGreenRoad
http://agreenroad.blogspot.com/2014/04/how-can-radiation-exposure-victim-get.html
Report comment
Dr. Goodheart,
With millions of hungry plaintiffs' lawyers looking for cases with a potential for compensation, the are reasons that plaintiffs' lawyers do not take radiation cases. Because Gerry Spence won a punitive damages award against Kerr-McGee on behalf of Karen Silkwood in the amount of ten million dollars, that any law firm could "just follow what Mr. Spence did" is a vast oversimplification of the problems in proof of causation of damages in these cases. Yes, we have all heard Chris Busby and Helen Caldicott talk about low-dose radiation exposures, but proving why someone got cancer in a courtroom is much more difficult than you assume.
I do not mean to put down your efforts to hold the nuclear industry liable for the damage it does; but oversimplifying legal liability issues and problems in proof of causation in these cases is not helpful.
Karen Silkwood was a whistleblower who had documented exposures to high doses of radiation on the job and was retaliated against, and later killed. The verdict had little to do with her radiation-induced disease, and more to do with the manner in which she was treated. As I recall, she sued for wrongful termination.
Your article mixes up so many legal issues that I will not attempt to refute what you say point by point. I just want to say that there are many legal reasons that the multitude of hungry plaintiffs' lawyers regard these cases with great caution. It isn't that the idea never occurred to us. Peace.

I talk to Joseph Mangano frequently. He believes that we might have epidemiological evidence of radiation-induced pulmonary cancers in the USA from Fukushima by 2019. From there, you need a toxicologist, pathologist, and an oncologist to show that the individual's cancer was most likely caused by radiation or particles from a particular defendant. As with asbestos and tobacco, the road is long and hard. Class action lawsuits are usually based on future medical expenses and the cost of medical monitoring; a plaintiff must opt out of the class action lawsuit to prove damages unique to him such as his loss of income, pain and suffering and loss of consortium.
I have not encountered a single qualified medical expert who is pointing to Fukushima as the cause of any cancer, outside of papillary thyroid cancers in children where a biopsy might point at 131I as the cause by examining chromosomes in biopsies. It might be more likely than not that Fukushima caused those cancers in the USA, but so far, these cases are rare.
Some listed cancers are presumed to be caused by radiation exposures by persons who lived downwind from above-ground testing during certain periods. OK. They get $50,000, not 10 million. I represent Depuy hip replacement cases. Some of the statements there are a bit over the top. My associates tried the Kransky case but settlements of hundreds of cases were in the mid-six figures.
Report comment
I think the evidence will pile up over time, not only of pathologies in the human population but in other species, as well. Widespread testing for contamination will be demanded, patterns of exposure will be identified and compared to Chernobyl, new diagnostic methods will be developed, and a massive case will be built. The only question in my mind is how long it will take for the world to overcome the obfuscation, bribery, and threats of the nuke mafia. In a manner similar to financial collapse and climate change impacts, people start to become aware when they are directly affected. That awareness will then turn into action.

Where are the measurements for the increase in ionizing radiation coming from the sun? Surely they are not depending on the results from balloons sent up by the students from the 'Sky to Calculus Club'?
Perhaps, Obewan, they have already estimated the combined burden….what will it take to obstruct the gamma rays from both these sources?

"The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster And The Radioactive Effects On Human Health"
"There is not a single life-enhancing benefit to be derived from releasing ionizing radiation into the environment…. Ionizing radiation breaks chemical bonds, destroying in living systems biologically significant micromolecules, and as a result, altering biological function. On a planet teeming with life–impossible without the exquisitely precise interplay of biochemical choreography–ionizing radiation, concentrated by humans and then released, is a force of disorder, chaos and death (p. 8)."
Zimmerman from:
http://thehealthcoach1.com/?p=3311
This is what I mean by TATAL: Toxic at the atomic level.
No other truth about ionizing radiation is necessary.
The problem in Japan isn't just external exposure. Remember that they are eating food grown in high radiation zones AND exporting it.

I also think you give the Japanese energy companies too much credit for even having given any THOUGHT to the possibilty of an accident when choosing NPP locations.
Japan is a little smaller than California and mountains cover nearly all of Japan ( the islands of Japan are really just the tops of undersea mountains and volcanoes, sticking up out of the ocean). Only about 20 % of the land is flat, and the only flat land is close to the coast. Because it is difficult to live and farm on mountain slopes, most Japanese people have always lived in those flat areas, the coastal plains. (this means all 53 NPPs in Japan are on that same 20% sliver of flat coastal land and most of the population live right by them – horrifying )
In addition to the mountains and the lack of flat land, this nearness of the sea also shaped the lives of Japanese people. Their homes were never far from the sea and naturally, seafood has been a key part of their diet for thousands of years – and the Japanese consume more seafood than any other culture in the world.
Report comment
In short – although this is just a personal theory – those NPPs are there along the coastline because there really is no 'inland' to build NPPs even if they wanted to.
Furthermore, given this coastline culture and diet – even the most dim-witted Hello Kitty / Louis Vuitton-clutching Japanese airhead (and they sure do have a lot of them in Japan to rival the meatheads in America) might easily recognize that they would be totally F**KED if they ruined the ocean around them.. It's probably not a place you would want to dump barrels of plutonium (with holes shot into them just to make sure they sink to the bottom) .. wait a minute.. oh.. right.. the U.S. did that on the other side of the Pacific ocean, just outside San Francisco. Oh. but you Americans don't eat much seafood. So maybe that was calculated. Yeehaw.

…. On 8/19/2014, Tepco reported to NRA (Nuclear Regulation Authority) 74,000,000,000 Bq of Cs-134/137 was released from Reactor 3 only within 10 minutes in August 2013.
One month ago, Tepco reported to NRA that approx. 1.1 Trillion Bq of Cs-134/137 was scattered due to the debris removal from Reactor 3 in August of 2013.
In the new report, Tepco revised their own announcement and commented they over counted the released volume by 12 ~ 24 %. However one of the peaks of the release is “missing” all the data because two of the dust monitors were simultaneously under inspection and having intermittence “by accident”.
The only available data covers the first peak of release started at 9:20 of 8/19/2013. It is assumed to have ended at 11:00 of the same day.
According to the data, the total released volume was 190,000,000,000 Bq. The maximum released volume in 10 minutes was 74,000,000,000 Bq and even the minimum volume was 2,600,000,000 Bq.
Reactor 3 operating floor was frequently observed splashing the steam for unconfirmed reason last summer. (cf, Tepco not to investigate nor take countermeasures for reactor3 “steam” anymore [URL])
Tepco concluded the high rate of contamination release is due to the debris removal, but Fukushima Diary insists NRA should verify the effect of this steam as well….

On 8/14/2014, NHK broadcast a strange TV program that Japanese society will become “the world of many deaths”. They comment it will be due to the rapidly progressing aging society, but the example case picked up in the show was a death from cancer of 41 years old woman. …
In the show, NHK reported the annual death case is assumed to be 1.3 times much as now in 16 years.
They also reported more and more people donate their dead bodies to medical university for “autopsy practice”. They also suggested we can save funeral cost by donating bodies to university because the university would take care of the whole process from cremation to funeral.
Back in 2013, NHK also announced thyroid problem is a people’s disease in Japan. The spike of thyroid cancer among Fukushima children was reported a few months after the TV show.

IPhone 5000 is out next week, 50 more gorillas dead for your toy. Those rare earth components need to be harvested! Who needs monkeys? Cue up like slaves, iPhone 5001 is out next week. The child slaves in China are busy burning their lazy little fingers off for your new toys.
